Under the trees . of the Old Testament, full of deep, un- nwritten poetry, discovers no scenes morecharacteristic and touching than those whichwere enacted beside these sources of fer-tility. Green and fruitful in the memoryof the most sacred history repose thesecool, refreshing pools Uiider the burningglance of the tropical sun. Here, too, asin those distant lands, life is kept in con-stant freshness around the borders of thespring. The grass grows green and densehere the whole summer through, and herethere is always a breath of cooler air whenthe fields grow with intense heat. In suchplaces Nature waits to touch the feveredspirit with something of her own peace,and to keep alive forever in the hearts that faith in things unseen which riseslike a spring from the depths, and makesa centre of fruitful and beautiful life.
