Show A missionary, during a Lenten tea, said, pointedly: "I have established missionary trees all over the country. But perhaps you don't know what a missionary tree is?' A missionary tree is one whose profit goes entirely to missions. "A Roxborough farmer has in his apple ap-ple orchard a golden pippin tree that helps to support the Chinese mission. A Florida woman has an orange tree-that tree-that helps to uplift the cannibals of New Guinea. A California nut farmer devotes a walnut tree to the spread of the faith in Zanzibar. "Missionary trees," the speaker ended, end-ed, "are very good things, but the principle that underlies them need not be confined to farms and farmers." |
