TTauger. of the Seaville Grange, In response said IJ was very appropriate, this combination of camp meeting and grange, as the work was along parallel lines, the one striving o save souls and the other concernd for the needs of the body together. George W. F. Gaunt was Introdued as Wbrthy Master of the State ■range and lecturer of the National Grange, but. very fey knw that this office is second In Importance only to that of Us Worthy Master Afire reference to the growth the Order had made in the county during his term, Mr. Geunt said his present mission was to call attention to the opportunities the Grange offers for the advancement of the conditions in the basic business of the country It Is not In keeping with the grange principles to build upon the ruins of any other industry, but It is to get farmers united tor better educational faculties, for strengthening home ties, elevating the moral standard, drawing neighborhoods into closer fellowship within themselves and with each other, and to bring all who are working with the one purpose of social and educational betterment Into

closer touch.

In the past five years the membership of the State Grange has grown from 2000 to 17,000. giving evidence that Ita purposes are being appreciated. "The prosperity of our Order." he said, "is greatest danger Other associations recognize our influence and importance and are askhelp when they have Importmures to push. This Is not because of our numbers, but because of the foresight and wise course pursued by the leaders of fa National Grange In endorsing fa right measthe success attending their efforts.
