steadily advances. Ii has got to be. /
something more than a groundswell !
'now-it is tidal wave. Many who have
labored, and prayed, and who have |
Thought and written for years to have |
this movement brought about, now see
their work making progress. It was.
hard to move some OF the elements, but |
they have been moved, and most effee-l
tually. But there is reom for even |
greater progress. We want the Order |
TO embrace every farmer in America, |
and every other man wbois in sympathy
with the farmer. Let no man fear that |
the Order will become unwieldy aud |
|oyergrown-the self-same principles and
tenets make themselves felt whether in
Maine or Oregon. and, being founded on
exact and even-hahied Justice, do not
contain the seeds of dissolution through
unequal priyaleges or Determinations.
No man or set of men can 60 outside of
the Constitution Of the Order to make it
an engine of partisanship, oppression or
linjustice. As the master of sOciai.ad-
iyancement, enlightenment and liberal
| ism. no such power has ever before been
known; and guided By the light of its
principles, the 0fdes must triumph over
all obstacles and hold its way steadily
onward, bringing all who are within its
| influence closer to the good, the true and

thing to accomplish so great a purpose?
Who will not labor little with his fell
lows to point the way? Who will not
| feel an incentive in the fact that the work
l is one with the noblest aims and tenden-
lesswhieh laborer ever engaged in. To,
make the daily lives of men and women
brighter and better and truer, to adj
vance the cause of educations and en-s
4 llighteninent, to bridge overthe gulfbe
tween toll and its result with joys which
Tighten labor and sweeten repose, to
make home something more than word
defining location, to diffuse amongst all
within our reach the best and brightest
ithoughts, to show cause for emulating
levery worthy example, to make our
daily lives something beyond matter
of daily routine, something better
than is the lot of many now.- Is there
not something here to strive for, some
thing to give nerve to the arm and force
to the brain, and sympathy to the heart
which can take in the humanity OF the
world?
To every member having the good of
the cause at heart we commend now one
lthing-organize and take into the
Oranges every worthy man and woman
whose aims and interests and sympath-
les are with you. The object is worthy !;
q let the work be accordingly good. Do
not 90 into the field half-hearted; damp
zeal is like damp powder-it will not
burn; it has neither fire nor force. Go
to work in earnest, and your earnest
ness and sincerity will do half the labor
for you. Be not only Jealous but practf-
, cal in your zeal. 1t does not need the
, gift of eloquence to show either man or
! woman the practical advantages of men,
bership; the social and pecuniary bene-
fits to be derived can be made clear to
J any understanding in i've minutes time.
J You have no drawbacks to contend with
! and no prejudices to. combat, no faults
: to apologize for. There Is not letter, or
! line, or rule, or bylaw which gives to
one greater rights or priv ileges than to
another. ~ -
There is no favored few nor privileg-
! ed party; all stand alike on the same ba-
sis, all are governed by the same law; .;all
. are protected by the same power sallare
aided by the same influeuce. In the
name, then, of all that is good and true
in the Order, let every Patron do his
+ share to the advancement of the cause
u None SO poor. none so humble, none sc
, busy but that they can lend helping
. hand and 4 word fifty spoken. Dea
II with those who do the best by you
Il buy and sell where your best advantage
llies; help those who help you; stand by
every friend of the cause and every
brother both in words and purse spread
as widely as you can the journals which
