We hnve pleasant recollections
Of our old school days
Of a Jolly experience . .
In our youthfululays.
The old school exhibitions
The old time spelling bees
The coasting on the hillside
And the playhouse 'neath the trees
Those times are dear to us .
In waking drenms our fancy
Leuds us biick to them again
Now's the time to banish dreams
And labor for a change
Put your shoulder to the wheel
And help us In the Grange
What's the use of always longing
For the days gone by?
We can brighten up the present
If we'll only try
Life has trials for the weary
Pitfalls for the strong -
Smoothen the rough roads for each
other ; .
Aa we pass along,
Don't believe we're retrograding
Tis a false alarm;
Valiant people tell us
Coming from the farm
Wrestling with the civic problems
Striving for a chanco
Helping push the good work forward
Started by the Grange.
Let me give a tittle piece v
Of good advice to all ' :
Get a hustle every one ' :'"!'
And help to build a hajl .
Don't be getting up, your tempera .
Everything you do . .....i
'Cause your neighbors doesn.t always
Just agree with you. "
We can see our neighbors' fallings ;
Better view oa? own shortcoming,
Plainly every day ;t.
Look, the other way.. '. .'. , ' '.-..
The perfect and complaining ones ;V
Would think It very strange
To find themselves to be
The faultiest people In the Grange.
Our grange Is what we make it
Let us put It In the lead
Don't Just talk, because It takes ..
Endeavor to succeed.
For a great and glorious future
Pin our banner high
Striving makes us stronger
We will reach It by and by.
Don't be seeking trouble for '
We'll find It soon enough
Always sprinkle sunshine
On the patts we know are rough
Then when wo are called upon
To Journey o'er the range
We'll leave the world the better
For our labors In the grange
