classes Of evil spirits, the first seven of which
are demons, created aboriginally with the

not invariably, they are for the most part

AS the diamond is polished by continual
friction, so people by associating together
wear off their angles and peculiarities and
become better members of society, and also
better fitted for the struggles of life in

Large families which have grown up to-
gother, have more tremendously developed

tinual contact with each other, and the
grange is intended to do for the masses, what
the family does for the individual.

for council and admonition, to each and
every member for love, confidence and sym.
