Of what use is the wind?
The wind carries away the impure air and injurious gases from cities and other places, so that they are the more healthy; it dries up the water on the surface of the earth, and thus promotes vegetation; it sweeps the clouds filled with moisture from the lakes and the oceans, over every part of the world, so that the water in them may fall in refreshing showers, to fill the springs, to purify the air, and in many other ways to make the earth a fitting place of abode for man. But these are only a few of the many blessings that an all-wise Creator has given us; and, for them all, we should ever remember to offer up to Him the homage of a grateful heart.
