L~£ Jiu-;rp WILBUR C. OLIVER, BATH, MAINE. IELDER of iron he; its firm, resisting mass He moulds in varying forms; makes it to pass Thrn heat of fiery forge, 'neath hammel"s blows, Till, by the force of human will, it grows, Refined, embellished, a fit instrument Of hum au comfort, need, o{' betterment.

Wielder of human heal'ts is he, as well; A fabric softer to the tOUCh, but, truth to tell, Resisting, more than steel, the workman's hand. A stubborn heal't he oft can make expand Beneath the gentle glow of kindly word. He knows wherewith its deepest chords are stirred, \Vhen best to use Persuasion's subtle arts, LOgiC'S relentless blows, or Satire's darts. And thus, in many a local Lodge, he leads The way to helpful works and kindly deeds.

His influence in public life is known; Protectingly his arm, of late, is thrown About the city's poor; in him they find A champion courageous, honest, kind. So lives he, that it may be said, at last, "Things better are, because he this way passed."
