A Missionary Tree,

A missionary, during a Lenten tea,
said, pointedly:
Il 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 ap-
pie orchard a golden pippin tree that
helps to support the Chinese mission.
A Florida woman has an Orang tre
that helps to uplift the cannibals OF
New Guinea. A California nut farmer
devotes a walnut tree to the spread
