In South America grows a species of the palm known there as “the
rain-tree.” It is so called because of its remarkable power of
abstracting moisture from the atmosphere and dropping it in
copious and refreshing dew on the earth around it. In this way
it makes an oasis of luxuriant vegetation where it flourishes.
Is not that the ideal life that gets and gives; that draws the good
only to communicate it to others, so blessing the world with moral
verdure and fruitfulness? (Text.)
