T.he Book of Ruth
The book of Ruth is the best anil
most sublime piece of Idylie litera- I
lure ever written. In this beautiful
book we have the story of a woman
ot Bethlehem who spent ten years in
the land of Moab. These ten years
were sad ones for this woman. It
also relates the story of Naomi and
her widowed daughter in-law, Ruth’s
return and of the beautiful romance
leading p to the marriage of Ruth to
Boaz. B v marrying Boaz, Ruth be
came the ancestress of David, and of
Jesus. Thus we see that the Saviour
of the world was a descendant of
Moab.
All the world loves a lover and
this story of Ruth and Boaz is a ro
mance filled with tender love, pathos
and endearment. This pastorial pic
ture laid out before us in the Book
of Ruth is unsurpassed in beauty of
sentiment and tradition. The Jews at
this time and past this time had

“rolls” or the five best short writ- I

marriage of Ruth ar.d Boaz and last,
her contribution to posterity through
her sons Obed and Jesse. On down
through the ages to the Saviour ot
the world. The beautiful life of
Ruth was not so much a matter of
education or social position, but a
result of the precepts set before her
by Naomi. Ir. view of all the gentlf-
ness, tenderness and beauty of Ruth
we must not lose sight of the com
manding sustaining nature ar.d
chastened mind of one who was a
mother in Israel and a widow in
deed, who had so much to do with
the shaping of the beautiful charac
ter of her daughter-in-law. We are
led to the conclusion that Naomi was
a noble and devout woman. She suf
fered the loss of her husband ar.d
two sons and bore the bereavement
with heroism that has been handed
down to us through the ages. She
did not become rebellious or lose her
faith in God. She accepted her lot as
did Job of old. Of course it was im
possible for anyo: e to pass through
the sorrow that Naomi was called
upon to bear anil not feel the pangs
of sorrow very keenly. But through
they might miss the privations of
the famine stricken native land oi
theirs. It is probable that hey only
intended to remain till the famine
was over.
TcHling
Not long after they reached Moab
Elemilich died. The sons then mar
ried Ruth and Orpah, natives of Mo
ab. It is very probable that Na
omi stro: gly opposed their wedding
with foreigners. After a time the
sons both died. Then there were
three widows that were left in al
most destitute circumstances. Naomi
must have felt that God had dealt
harshlj with her and doubtless Ruth
and Orpah felt the same way.
Courage Renewed
For ten years Naomi had sojourn
ed ii Monti, and it had been ten sor
rowful years for her. Many were the
time- that she had yearned for her
native home. Now as her faith and
courage had revived she decided to
return to Bethlehem, When time
came that Naomi was to make her
depart lire she gave her daughters-
in-law their great opportunity. Fin
ally Orpah kissed her mother-in-law
ffOOd-bye and turned back to her na
tive land.
Now is when Ruth shines out in
true devotion to Naomi and b v her
momentous decision she came to be
loved by all people and became ’he
ancestress of the Sor of God. She
told Naomi that wherever Naomi
went she would go with her. It was
a beautiful devotion between the two.
What Ruth said to Naomi at the
time of their departure from Moab
has become a clasic in the literature
of love and devotion.
Who tVns the Greatest?
When we "oneider how dark and
lorely Naomi would have been had
Ruth chosen to remain in Moab, it
makes us feci that these two noble
women were well matched. It is dif
ficult to decide which love was the
most devoted. There was really more
to lie expected from a mother in Is
rael like Naomi than we would ex
pect from a daughter of Moab. The
vow that Ruth made to Naomi has
been indelibly stamped upon the
very heart of the world. It counds a
genuine devotion and conquering
love. Naomi tells Ruth that she has
no home to offer her. Ruth replies
that “where thou lodgest, I will
lodge.”
Furthermore, Naomi tells her that
she will be going among a new peo
ple; a people who worship a differ
ent God to the God of Ruth’s
tive land. Again Ruth replies, “Thy
people shall be my people and thy
God my God.”
The reason at this time why Ruth
answered as she did is purely for
love for Naomi. Then she shows how
quickly and earnestly she adopts
Naomi’s religion by sealing her vow
with the Hebrew oath, “Jehovah do
so to me and more also, if ought
but death part thee and me.” Naomi
now sees that Ruth is determined to
accompany her so she stops trying
to dissuade her. So the two noble
women united ir an inseparable love
went on their way hand in hand.
Readjustment
Though the reception' of the two
women was cordial ar.d hospitality
was evtended them, they must de
pend upon their own efforts for thoi•
support. So Ruth asked that she
might go into the grain fields and
gather up the heads of grain that
the reapers left. Naomi agreed and
Ruth weff't on her way to the har

The barley field into which Ruth
went happened to belong to an el

generous. This man’s name was Bo

morning he wished to know who the
fair young gleaner was. We would
imagine that they then went through
the formality of an introduction, and
he provided for her comfort and even
went so far as to instruct the reap
