A pleasing program of readings,

The following original anniversary
poem was read by the composer,
Oscar Limeburner:
We, patrons of old Rainbow grange,
Who are gathered here tonight,
Are thinking of the years gone by
And what happened in their flight.
For when this grange was organized,
Just fifty years ago to-day,
a shining light was kindled here
To lead its members on their way.
To lead them in the paths Of right
Which the wicked do not tread;
To help them in their daily work
And by Gods own hand be led 4.
And what a blessing it has been
Throughout all those fifty years,
How it has eased the toll of man
And ever allayed his fears.
But of those struggles of early years
How few are left to tell the tale;
For charter members only three
Are here-the rest beyond the vale
And of you charter members three
Who in the years of long ago,
This place where we love to go:
We hope thy DAYS be naueht but
bright,
e'er gay;
That no darkening clouds may come
That sunshine guide thee all the
way.
