President Harding's Last Speech


Brother Warren G. Harding's last speech was delivered after his death.  Brother Harding had planned to make an address at a meeting of Hollywood Commandery 56, KT, on August 2, 1923, but died earlier that day.  His private secretary, Sir Knight George B. Christian, Marion Lodge 70, Ohio, attended in his stead.  In front of a somber and saddened gathering, Brother Christian gave the speech the President had planned to deliver.
