The GRANGE Lecturer.

The committee on good of the Order
at the last national grange meeting
said, among other things, that the lee
turer of n grange should be selected
with great care. for to this most i'm
portant official is left the work of not
only getting up and presenting pleas
ing and interesting programmes, but
of molding and developing the mind
and character of the younger men,
bers. The literary programme should
never be omitted, but should be short
and interesting and so varied from
time to time as to cover all phases of
farm life in and out of DOORS The
current topics of the day should be
discussed from a nonpartisan stand
point. But especially should we aim
to discuss those questions which are
purely local in character and have to
do with our town, our particular locali-
ty and our home. We have seen great
improvement in the surroundings of
farm homes after a good, active grange
has been established in many a rural
community.

A SUGGESTION.

Here is a suggestion for the lecturer:
Next summer. when the weather is
pleasant and driving is good. ask your
members to take a drive out about the
country and make brief call here
and there on the farmers. Then make
a note on paper, or in the mind. of the
observations made and report them to
the grange at the following meeting.
1t will afford great deal of amuse-
ment and considerable information.

Rural Churches and GRANGE.

The grange can never I'LL the place
of the church in rural communities,
says an exchange. And this 1t has
never attempted. Go where you will
and you will find that the best workers
in the grange, If they are members Of
any church, are active members and
foremost in every movement for the
upbuilding of the church.
The men who contribute money and
time for the erection of grange halls
are usually liberal supporters of the
pastor and church. The good Patron
and the public spirited citizen are sy-
nonymous terms.

FARM HOME DEDICATION.
- Pleasing Idea Put Into Concrete
Form by Mortimer Whitehead.

- FleaSin9 lOea Fut INTO NonCioeo
Form by Mortimer Whitehead.
Not In New Jersey alone. which is
his home state. but in many another
state. is the name of Mortimer White
head familiar one. In the early
years of the Order he was lecturer of
the national grange and is still doing
valiant work for that great farmers
organization. His latest effort 'for
the good of the Order" as he puts It.
is the writing and publication Of a
ritualistic ceremony for the dedication
of farm homes.
This ceremony of dedication is to be
used out of doors on the lawn or
grounds near the home. The arrange
ment of officers stations Is the same
as when the grange is in session in the
hall. The home to be dedicated has a
banner or streamer hung upon the
porch. and on this banner the name is
concealed until the time of unwilling
occurs. Members Of the Order and Wis
itors are grouped about the space set
apart for the officers. Tue idea is to
have the farm homes named and then
dedicated by this impressive ceremony.
We anticipate that this ritual will be
adopted at the next meeting of the
national grange and then be given Off
cially to the Order for use. We cannot
explain further in detail. but will only
add that some of the passages contain
ed in the ritual are most exalted in
sentiment, beautiful in expression and
in every way worthy of the object to
which the writer dedicates the work.

Those who go into the grange for
the purpose of using the Order to fur
Their their interests personally, politi-
cally. financially or otherwise will not
stay in it long. The sooner such men,
bers are let or made to know that the
Order cannot be used by them to fur
Their their individual interests the soon
err they will drop out, and the sooner
they drop out the better for all con-
cerned.-New York Farmer.
