QRANOE RALLY.
' Tlio Orange Hally In un old ns tho
Ordor undur whoiio nusplcos It Ih hold,
MohI of uh think of It as uu opportun
ity for u i;oud tlmd, n chanco to moot
neighborhoods. This It should bo nnd
wo can hardly magnify tho nodal priv
ilege of Bitch a mooting. It la a groat
lulafortiinu tp bu bo engrossed In hual
noss, no weighed down With cnro, or
oven so much In earnest about tho
wolfaro of a partlculur organization
thut wo forgot our frlcmls.
Tho Grange Rally uliould afford a
chanco to moot old friends, and to
make now ones, and wo uliould enjoy
to tho fullosC extent Its nodal privi
leges, nut nt tlus flame time, It should
bo productlvo of other' and possibly
oven greater results than thoso. It
should strengthen tho Ornngo whoro
It Is hold. It should Rlvo now life to
tli a nearby Oranges wIioho mombors
attend, and tho program and tho ad.
dross nt tho nicotine should bo such
as to enthuso nil who listen or take
part, with a greater iutorcst in Ornnno
work. Not bocauso It la Orango work,
but bocauso'lt Is work that needs to ho
done, Tho drango Rally has not quite
nnawerod Its purposo unloss tho peo
ple who attend go homo with a larger
rlslon of life.
Tho pooplo should bo ablo to go
homcfrom a Grnngo Rally rested,
happy In memory of tho old associa
tion's renowed, and tho new friend
ships formed, but they should also bo
t given something now to think about
Old truths should havo been given n
now sotting, nndsqmo now truth
should havo boon gapped.
Abovo all, thorn should havo boon
somothlng In tho program of tho day
to touch tholr hearts. A song, a read
ying, or an address that simply Im
presses you as n great effort, that ap
poals to you only to mako you think
of tho porformor, and ask, "How
could ho do that?" counts for but
llttlo aftor all. Tho things that get
hold of people's hoarts, nnd Influence
tholr lives aro tho truly great things.

THE INDIVIDUAL OR THE .
COMMUNITY?
lly FRANK M. IJBVERI.EY
Thd right viow was taken by a mom
bor of this community rocontly when a
moasuro affecting tho wholo was un
dor consideration. Said ho: "This
moasuro put in forco would bo to my
individual benefit, but Itwould be to
tho disadvantage of tho neighborhood
as a wholo ;and I'll not bo selfish
enough R favor tho measure." That
was tho genulno Grange spirit. Each
Individual, member of a community Is
dopondent in a way upon tho others,
nnd ouch should favor wbatovor moas
uro would bo Jto tho beneuT of tho
wholo. Vlrglnlnn."
A llttlo nioro persistence, courago, vim.
Success. will dawn o'er fortuno's gol
den rim.
Then take this honey for tho bitterest
cup;
There la no failure savo in giving up
No real fall as long as ono still trios,
For seeming setbacks mako the
strong man wlso.
Thero'a no defeat, in truth, savo from
within;
Unless you'rp beaten thoro, you're
bound to win.
