Worthy Master, Sisters, and llroth-

my mliri on this occasion as tho Duty
ofl'atrons. No suliject which lean
recall is so important, and none, there
fore, so worthy of our careful considera
tion. Kevognlzing as wo tin the existence
of a .Supremo Itulcr, who is tho author
of our being, and tho creator of all
things for our especial uo with certain
tixetf ItiwH, olrudienco to which secuies
us inuumcniblo and inestimable blc-n-logs
while disobedience as certainly
entail on us misery and woe; the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry was in
stituted to foster those laws, whereby
our material Interest and well-being
aro advanced. And our obligation re
quires of us tho performance of dimply
thoH" thligs which God himself in the
beginning ord lined of us, and which
our experience and tho accumulated
wisdom of all tho centuries preceding
tell us in unmlstakablo language are
for our good. In brief terms, to thor
oughly fulfill our duty as patrons, ac
cording to the spirit us well as tho let
ter, would leave us as near our goal of
perfection as it is possible to attain,
and though It may bo possible to reach
such perfection, It is highly improba
ble that many of us over will do so.
However, it would cortainly bo truly
oucouraglng to behold a greater num
ber Striving in this direction. If thero
is an end worthy of the means of its at
tainment; or if thero is an object that,
aljove all other?, is worih tho sacrifice
of temporal ease, and If necessary our
very life lUelf, that object is most cer
tainly to become perfect men and wo
men. Wo cannot claim for our Order
tho reformatory power of the Christian
church. Ours is not a divine institu

Hut narrowing down to a morollmltetl
sphere of the subject, lot us inquire
what id our simplest duty as patrons?
And aro wo performing that duty
aright'. I pause for 11 reply but no
answer comes! While all ot us may
truthfully claim that, In ntneastirc, wo
have tried more or less 'when it was
convenient, or when wo happened to
think of It to do fcomo ono or more of
the thousand and one things required
at our hands, none, I dare niv, will
enturo to assert that ho has eoiiio ful
ly up to the standard of duty. Ac
knowledging we have made com
mendable Improvement In many wayi
it Is still to be feared that many have
tao little beetled the wisdom from time
to time imparted for our Instruction
and guidance. Jomu have failed to
comprehend the imoort of the obliga
tion assumed, or they have seemingly
forgotten it, and though the praises of
charity are m often sounded In oar
hearing, yet there seems to bo room
for great Improvement. Thero is
music in line speech, but most charity
comes from action, not wortl. luivo
no faith whatever In those prayers that
depend 011 sound alone; if from the
heart they will be accompanied by
suitable action. Let us cease finding
fault witli our brothers and sister.-,
thev cannot entirely overcome their
peculiarities, hot u look to ourselves.
Thero is 110 chanty in continually
magnifying the faults ot the brethren.
No benefit will accrue to any one from
sacli 11 course. An explanation when
proper, or a mild rebuke in season, is
uniformly beneficial, but we too often
advance too far In this direction and
the results aro most grievous. With
us tho grange Is a school; It iitl'ords the
best means at our disposal to acquire
the lessons of practical life. In order
to mako satisfactory advancement-,
however, wo must bo punctual In at
tendance of the same. Tardy puplts
never made satisfactory progress. The 1
pursuit and acquirement of knowledge
nU'ord them no pleasure. If we would
reap tho full benefit of tho grango wo
must not only be punctual in attend
ance but wo iiiu-t be prompt in tho
di-chargo of such duties as may be re
quired of lis at any aim all time.-. It
now remains with u- to say how much
of this good we shall reap tor ourselves;
how much wo will scatter for the bene
fit of others; and how much impplucvi
we will disseminate. Si iters and
Brothers, are we willing to try? will
Ing to sacrifice a little for tne 'accom
plishment of tho most laudable objects
In tho world'.' Did 1 Niy sucrlfico'.'
No! I did not mean it. It l no sacri
fice t exchange mi article of lessor
moment for one of Inconceivable value.
I'o-olbly tho time may come when
tho-o who ospousu our cause will not
meet under the grange organization.
Tho grange may die, but our cause,
thank Ood, can never die, .so long as
the immutable prlnclplo of Justice
reigns in the heart of man, tho cause
will live, and when that reign shall be
triumphant, victory will suroly crown
the patrons' warfate. Then would you
llvo a truly useful and honored life,
and when tho arena of action shall end
in death, leave a memory Indelibly
engraven on tho tablots of the human
heart'.' If so, I would entreat you with
all the earnestness and eloquence at
my command, violate not your obligi
tlon token at tho sacred altar of our
Order, but do your duty, your whole
duty, and the proud laurels of the
victor will bo yours ovo- and over.
