St. John's Lodge #1 in New York has the honor of having the Bible upon which George Washington took his presidential oath of office. It wasn't planned that way but when Brother Washington was preparing to take the oath, someone noticed there was no Bible to be found. Aids went in search of one and seeing St. John's Lodge (at the time Lodge #2) across the street they knew it would have a Bible. They rushed in, borrowed it and, as they say, the rest is history.
