Are you Gideon Endeavorer?
II you are, and 1t Is good kind to
be, you possess three things-a torch,
a pitcher and trumpet
The torch-You lead life that is a
light, and you are ready to let your
light shine.
The trumpet-You have convictions,
and you are ready to express them.
The pitcher = You have common
sense. You know that there is time
to speak and time to keep silence, a
time to work and time to rest You
know when to smash the pitcher, LET

Again has fallen to my lot the pleasure of
extending to you most ordiai welcome to

meetings from time to time anticipating the
meeting OF old friends and the making of new
ones as the membership of the grange in
resulting from the grange comes from thus
gathering together in pleasant intercourse
for mutual benefit.
Yet we must not forget that the grange has
other important features, though sometimes
overlooked wonder IL we are as careful as
we should be in our.subordinate and Pomona
meetings to SO emphasize the real purposes Of
the grange and so study and teach its lessons
