A few days ago. In conversation with ti.e master of a grange we had just organized, says n writer in Farm and Fireside, he said, “ Why, I ’ve always been a grauger, but didn’t know It.” That one pointed remark aptly an swers the question so often asked by grange workers—why meu and women whose sympathies are in line with ours do not unite with us. This man vaa progressive, anxious to secure for his family and friends the very best ad vantages possible, but felt powerless alone, in the grange he found others desired the same things he did and dis covered the chain of sympathy that binds men together the world over. “ But I have explained the objects of tlie grange many times,” the worker protests. True. Bo have I, and I often find myself indulging in stock phrases sud stereotyped expressions that con vey hut little to my hearers. First find the ambition of the one you seek to convince, and if the grange will aid him show him so in terms he will ap preciate.
