A future such as I have outlined
is before the Grange It has but to
reach for power and influence. They
are at hand. Its greatest menace is
itself. Its leaders in the future as in
the past, must be men and women
who will sacrifice themselves for the
good of our fraternity. Methinks I
see the Grange established in every
agricultural township, pointing farm
ers to a higher life, to a greater finan
cial prosperity, and filling creditably
its place as the leader of agricultural
thought

GOOD GOVERNS ALL
Exempt from danger—soft and still
The message sounds o'er vale and hill;
Exempt from danger—thou canst fear
No evil, since All Good is near.
Exempt from danger—by thy side
God's angels stand to guard and guide;
The seeming obstacles that come.
Love will remove them every one.
Exempt from danger—lift thine eyes,
The Star of truth is in the skies,
j Good governs all—fresh courage take,
I And from thy dreams of fear—Awake!
