Zach can feel a brothers sigh
And with him bear q part;
Where sorrow flows from eye to eye
And Joy from heart to heart.

Then will duties become pleasant priv
ileces, and you will realize what the coEl-
! mand which says Glove your nelghbor as
| yourself" means.
We should not forget to encourage the
noble, true women of our State to enter our
ranks, attend or- meetings and bless US
with their smiles. their prayers and hal
| lowed influences. The organization that
undertakes to accomplish great and grand
results without invoking the aid of the
sweet-spirited. Intelligent, pure-hearted
women of the country will be short-lived
and o failure. Our female membership
should be reorganized as powerful ele-
ment of strength IN our order. Where
there is an active female clement IN our
Sub-Alliances there is thrift, actiTity, pleas
ure and success. Bring in the boys and
the girls, provide for their pleasures and
entertainment, encourage the boys to join
| in the discussion, work them on commit
tees, interest them in the work, and in this
way encourage and develop them for the
| work of life.
Let the girls gladden. your meetings with
songs and mirth, decorate Your lodge
rooms with flowers, and in this way make
your meetings a source OF pleasure and
profit to both old and young. No greater
mistake has ever been made than to neg
lect the boys and girls on the farm, and no
gran9er work can be done than to devise
ways and means by which to add to their
happiness and remove from their minds
the impression that It IS place Of toll,
sweat and drudgery, without any means OF
Joy or social entertainments. Sapply them
as far as you are able, with good literature,
musical instruments, fruits, flowers and
pure, intelligent society, and thereby cul-
| tivate O love for the pure and beautiful in
the family circle, the sweet Influences Of its
fire-side enjoyments and its sacred affairs.

per of preparing soil, planting. cultivating
gathering and where TO find the best mar
kets, the adaptation OF products to soil, Va
riety Of products, cultivation OF fruits, veg
etables, breeding and raising stock OF all
varieties.
Time and space forbids my entering in
to the details further Of this irexhauStib,e,
interesting subject Your life vii! be too
short for this grand work, but you may,
by organization, faithful work and study,
help to bless the world and generation to
which you belong and 10 aid in accom-
plishing TO some extent the greatest and
grandest possibilities. For want Of organ
ization and effort We live far below our
privilege, and whine ana complain az
wrongs that could be speedily remed:ed by
union Of effort Now, n conclusion, as
one of the most humble and Jealous mem
| bers Of this, one OF tie greatest AID grand
est organizations on earth, let ME eXhort
and persuade you to wake up to a fuller
realization of the true situation. Our work
has blessed the nation in ways innumcra-
ble Eternity alone will reveal the good
accomplished. generations yet unborn will
rise up and bless you for this work, tie
pathway of the laborer will be brighter,
his pillow softer. his sleep sweeter, his life
purer, his children more Intelligent and
| happy, and yet his work IS only begun.
