The Woman Who Stood By: Her Message To Our Times Ruth, the Moabitess, An Idyll of Loyalty — The Steadying Quality for Unsteady Times—Glimpses of the Holy Land. By WILLIAM T. ELUS

Recently the news dispatches reported that the wife of a yotmg kid-. uapper-nturderer declared, after i his confession, that sne never | wanted to see him again. Somehow, that utterance grated harshly upon the sensibilities of the public. It contravened the ancient code of wifely loyalty. “For better or worse" a woman marries a man; and when she deserts him when he is in trouble she affronts the age-old sensibility of her sex. That is the spirit which has given Reno its most famous industry. Most women are loyal. That truth saves civilization. In an unsteady time, their steadiness stabilizes society. Ruth’s story is timely in a day when loyalty is more lightly regarded than in a simpler era. Self advantage is the moment's mood, when self-denial, for fidelity’s sake, is most eeded. The finest man 1 know is a junior official in a great and high-minded corporation, and his loyalty is a beautiful thing to behold. He believes in it with all his heart, and serves it with all his might. A Classic Idyll Goethe called t’-e Book of Ruth "the loveliest little epic and idyllic whole which has come down to us." Its characters are all fine. The heroine, Ruth, who stood fast by her mother-in-law. in poverty and widowhood, even forsaking her own land of Moab to adventure into Bethlehem, has bequeather to i literature one of its most precious passages: “Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, 1 will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; they people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou diest. will I die, and , there will I be bnried; Jehovah do so to me. nnd more also, if aught hut death part thee and me.” Tragedies of the Plain Folk Back of that utterance lay one of the everyday dramas of the plain people. It was in the period of Israel's life under the Judges. Elimelech, a Bethlehemite, with his wife, Naomi, and his two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, had fled from a local famine and settled in the fertile highlands of Moab, across the Dead Sea valley from Bethlehem. There the sons had married Moabite maidens. Orpah and Ruth; and in time all three men had died Naomi as the head of the bereaved family, decided to return to Bethlehem, having heard that prosperity had again come to her native village. As is the oriental ; usage, she was accompanied part way by her family and friends. At a proper distance, the time of parting had arrived, and she magnanimously bade the young women return to their homes, where haply they would find new husbands. She herself would adventure alone into her widow's pathetic lot. The scene was a touching one. drenched in tears. Orpah yielded to her mother-in-law’s reasoning and returned; "but Ruth clave unto her." Living With In-Laws There is more implied in the story than is told. We see a happy, godly home, into which grief has thrice entered. Naohii and her men had so lived their religion that the daughters were attracted to it. As always, more persons are allured to religion than are argued into It. The best* of all sermons is a godly life. Nobody really pssesses any more faith than he practices. In the East, the mother-in-law Is often an ogress, “getting even" for her own hardships as a daugh-ter-in-law -by visiting, them on her son’s wives. That is the sort of mother-in-law the joke-smiths have caricatured. As in Naomis case, the truth is more often the reverse. Her winsomeness Is reflected in the tears shed at parthig. All over the world are myriads of homes made happier by the presence of mothers in law of the Naomi quality. Ruth was the perfect daughter-in-law. She loved Naomi, and she *The Sunday School Lesson for August 7 is: "Messages From Israel's Leaders —Ruth: Adventurous Faith.,’ — The Book of Ruth. «**-*•••**

felt an Obligation to fill her husband's role of protector and proi vlder. For the sake of this loyalty | she would abandon all the past | life that she knew and give herself to the noble woman who had been to her a real mother. Little did she dream that this shining decision would have such vast consequences, making her the mother of kings, and of the King of kings. We never know what will ensue from our choices at the cross-roads of life; but it is always wise to follow the sign board marked "Loyalty." Over the Old Road So the two women turned their faces westward, journeying afoot down the great road, history-crowd-ed. that led into the hot Jordan Valley, and up again to the hills of Judea, and to the Jebusite city that is now Jerusalem, with Bethlehem only five miles away, on the great South Road. I once saw a little Arab family, with a single donkey, making this same flight from famine over the same road. Bethlehem's hillside Is today only a two and one-half cent bus ride from Jerusalem; and all the way the mountains of Moab are in sigh.t across the Jordan-Dead Sea depression. Moab is now called Trans-Jordan, and the Zionists vainly covet it for Jewish settlement. To Naomi the journey to Bethlehem was a sad home-going; “Call me not Naomi, call me Mara" ((meaning bitterness); to Ruth it was an adventure of unknown scenes. Gleaning Grain —and a Husband Prosperous persons seldom understand the hardship of the poor. Only such as Jesus, whn underwent the lot of the lowly, know what poverty really means. In the case of Naomi and Ruth, life meant primarily, a rude shelter and bare subsistence. This was provided by Ruth's gleaning in the fields after the reapers, toilsomely picking up the unconsidered trifles of grain that remained in the wake of the harvesters. Naturally, the return of Naomi and her Moabite daughter-hi-law aroused the attention of the Bethlehem neighbors: for always and interested in folks. Ruth's comelieverywhere, folks are supremely ness and industry did not diminish this interest. Boaz, a wealthy kinsman of Elimelech. looked with favor upon the fair gleaner; and in due time—the story is all in the book—took her to wife. Thus the problems of Naomi and Ruth w-ere solved; and a new family line begun. for Boaz begat Obed and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. Israel's greatest king, until a Greater One. Jesus, the descend ant of David, linked the blood of Boaz and Ruth with the redemption of the world. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS Only the Golden Rule will bring in the Age of Gold.—Frances E.
