George NJ. Whitaker, writing to the New
England Farmer OF visit to North Brook
field, Mass, Grange, says that two years
ago this grange elected a full corps of lady
officers from master to gate-keeper and that
he was guest at the final meeting of this
administration when the third and fourth
degrees were conferred. "The officers were
gowned in white, presenting fine appear
ance, and did the ritualistic work to per-
fecton." This prompts Mr.. Whitaker to
say further:
This idea of magnifying the initiatory
work and doing it with dignifed ceremon-
al is very important. What is worth doing
at all is worth doing well, says the old
proverb but this is emphatically true with
regard to ritualistic work If well done it
gives much force to the organization adopt
ing it, and if poorly done it is an injury.
The impressiveness of such work if we'll
done is source of strength, adding to the
dignity and character of the organization.
On the other hand nothing creates such a
lukewarm, apathetic spirit as ritual
butchered, the lectures mumbled from the
book and the whole business done in a
slOuching, slOvenly manner.
