I. The Occasion of Ruth’s Choice.
(1:1-15).
On account of the famine in Beth-
Jehem-Judea, Naom! with her hushand
and two sons sojourned in the land
of Moab. After the death of her hus
band, her two sons married Moabitish
women. After a time her sons died
also. Upon the death of her sons she
resolved to return to her homeland,
having heard that the Lord had visit
ed his people in giving them bread.
Her family went to Moab to escape
trouble, but they only got into more
trouble. It was not till Naomi was
thus chastised that sheé resolved to re
turn. She had the good sense to
recognize that the hand of the Lord
was upon Mer for good. Ruth and Or
pah accompanied her. This she per
mitted, but determined to place before
them frankly the difficulties which
would necessarily confront them. It
was this frank presentation of the
difficulties and her repeated urging
them to go back that furnished the
occasion for Ruth’s wise choice.
11. The Trials of Ruth’s Choice (vv.
16-18).
Much as Naomi loved her daughters
in-law, she would not have them go
into this matter blindly. She wished
them to know the cost of their under
taking. She told them the worst that
could come upon them, then if hard
ships came they could only blame
themselves.
Note the difficulties which confront
ed Ruth:
1. No chance to get married again.
Naomi told her that she had no more
sons for which she could wait. In that
day to be unmarried was the greatest
disgrace. Furthermore, it was against
God's law for the Jews to marry out
side of their own people.
2. She must renounce her gods. Her
idolatrous worship could not he carried
on in the land where God's people
dwelt. This was delicately tnuched‘
upon when Orpah went back (v. 15).
Orpah went back when it was plain
that there was no chance to get a hus
band. Now Naomi puts an additional
test upon Ruth, that of giving up her
religion. Naomi's very frankness in
dealing with her caused Ruth to be
more and more determined to cast her
lot with her. No doubt she learned to
Jove the true God through the life of
this true woman. She was deter
mined to share Naomi's journey, her
home, her lodging, her lot in life and
her grave in death, whatever that
would be. To crown it all she would
renounce her heathen gods and em
brace Jehovah. When Naomi saw that
Ruth’s mind was fully made up she
qQuit urging her.
lli. The Glorious Issue of Ruth's
Choice. |
Ruth was never sorry for her cholce,
for: |
1. She found the true God (v. 16).
2. She found human friends (ch. 2).
As she went to glean in the fields she
was led to the field of Boaz—a man
of wealth and grace. The servants of
Boaz treated her with consideration ;
even Boaz gave Instruetién for special
consideration to be given her.
. 3. A good husbhand and a happy home
(chaps. 3 and 4). She not only se
cured a husband, but a man of God,
whe had abundance of this world's
~goods.
4. An honored place in the Israel
dtish nation (4:13-17). Though she had
:(l:xir‘:a}g 23(3‘:;_.'.‘ 20231?.’ shg became |
ohd of a nobler people.
5. She became a link in the chain
of Christ’s ancestry (4:18-22: cf. Matt.
1:5). The one who fully decides for
Christ and gives up all for him shall
get a hundredfold in this life and in
the world to come, eternal life,
This story is a fine exhibition of dis
pensational truth:
(1) The famine In the land Indicates
the testing of the Jews; (2) the going
into Moab, the sojourn of the Israel
ftes among the nations; (3) sickness
and death in Moab, the chastisement of
the Jews in this present age; (4) the
return to the land, the gathering of
Israel to their own land; (5) Ruth fol-
Jowing, the gathering of the Gentiles
through the influence of the Jews;
(6) the marrlage between Boaz and
Ruth, the union of the church with
Christ.

It your faith in God is stronger for
_every humble task in which you need

is necessary to the fullness of your
~faith in God. It will make the music
'of your life more firm and solid.—

VL{/(’:-‘ Cut the steak in
to pieces an inch
and a half long and wide. Cut the
kidneys through the center. Put the
kidneys into cold, slightly salted water
and allow this to come slowly to the
boiling point. As soon as the boiling
point is reached, draw off the water,
add celd, salted water and boil again.
Then drain, rinse well and add the kid

HOW AND WHY TO USE TOP- |
~ DRESSERS ON SMALL GRAINS
| ————
~ We are convinced that on the aver
age lands of the Cotton Belt top
dressings of nitrate of soda and sul
phate of ammonia usually pay well.
However that best results may be
had, these fertilizers should be ap
plied at the right time, since if they
are applied too early, much of their
value may be lost by leaching 'beforel
the plants can use them, while if
they are applied too late, the crop
may reach maturity before the ni
trogen in the top-dresser is mostly
‘utilized.
~ Nitrate of soda and sulphate of
ammonia are about the only mater
ials we would recommend for top
‘dressing small grains, and since sul
phate of ammonia is practically off
}the market, we must depend upon
the nitrate of soda. About 75 to
100 pounds per acre will be about
right, and this should be scattered
\broadcast over the grain about eight
to ten weeks before the grain is
ready to harvest. The application
‘shouldbe madewhen the foliage is dry
‘but it will be advantageous to make
it when the top soil is moist. It is

®Gosh! How my back aches!”
After Grip, “flu” or colds, the kidneys
and bladder are often affected —called
nephritis, or inflammation of kidneys,
This is the red flag of danger—better
be wise and check the further inroads of
kidney disease by obtaining that wonder
ful discovery of Dr. Pierce’s, known as
Anuric (anti-uric-acid), because it expels
the uric acid poison from the body and
removes those pains, such as backache,
rheumatism in muscles and joints,
Naturally when the kidneys are
deranged the blood is filled with poison
ous waste matter, which settles in the
feet, ankles and wrists; or under the
eyes in bag-like formations.
SBend Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel,

AUGUSTA, GA.—"l had been suffer
ing for some time with my kidneys.
My ankles would swell up and I suf
fered with pains across my back and
thru my kidneys; my system was
also full of uric acid. I would have
shooting pains thru my flesh and
muscles. Knowing Dr. Pierce’s other
medicines to be good I decided to give
Anuric a trial, and I found it to be
the best kidney medicine I have ever
taken. 1t was only necssary for me
to take about three bottles to rid my
system of the uric acid and relieve me
of all kidney trouble.”—W. C. HAN

not neccessary to harrow the soda in
though a harrowing will probably be
beneficial to the grain. ‘
If your grain is on even average
land, we believe an application of
nitrate of soda will pay well; in fact,
on thin lands we have seen such ap

crop at all.—The Progressive Far

EXPERIMENTS WITH
‘ TOPDRESSERS
| It is not yet too late to top dress
small grains. Experiments were
conducted at the Georgia Experi
ment Station last year with the two
most common topdressers, sulphate
of ammonia and nitrate of soda.
Nitrate ofsoda alone, nitrate of soda
and sulphate of ammonia combined,
and sulphate of ammonia alone,
were compared as topdressers for
rye and vetch. The rate of applica
tion was 200 pounds nitrate per acre,
75 pounds of the mixture of nitrate
and sulphate, and 150 pounds of

nation showed that there was some
scalding in each plat where top
dresers were used. The yields were
as follows
Nitrate of soda—4432 pounds per

Nitrate of soda and sulphate of

Check—224o pounds per acre.
Results obtained at anumber of
Experiment Stations indicate that
topdressers when applied to oats are
particularly éffective, both on fer
tilized and unfertilized crops. Sev
enty-five pounds of sulphate of am
monia is equivalent to 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda. These topdressers
skould be applied early in the spring
when the blades of the plants are
dry. Otherwise there is danger of
scalding the plants. This is especi
ally true with nitrate of soda. The
method of application is to scatter
the fertilizer broad cast overn the
land as evenly as possible.
