the Worthy Masters address rela-

same under consideration and give
it our hearty approval, and recon

must be employed wherever great
efforts are required in accomplish
ing results. Upon this principle

the cooperative efforts of its citi-
zens are made successful.
Indeed, every enterprise requir-
ing the efforts of the many must
employ this principle or failure is
the inevitable result.
Whenever the true principles OF
cooperation are correctly applied
in any great work history has not
recorded a single failure. Upon
the principle of cooperation must
be built the future structure OF GU:
Order. 1t is the motive power to
be employed in every department
OF Grange work, if desirable results
are to be secured.

solidated and united in every effor
