MEMOHY SELECTION: Intrrst m» Mt to loavo th**, or to return from lullowing after thea; for whither thou »'>•»' I will go; and whera thou iodgoat. I will lodge: thy pa'pl* «hal> be ">> ’ pie. and thy Cod my God —Ruth l.ls. A good life In the midst of a corrupt and confuted age—such Is the life of Ruth In the awful chaos of the time of the judges. One U reminded of the poet's words: “How far that little candle throws Its beam*! So shines a good deed In a naughty world." It Is refreshing to have a glimpse Into the home life of God-fearing people who Uve right in spite of the low standards around them. Ruth knew life's sorrows and its bitter disappointments. She was a widow, destitute of all she held most dear. Yet she, because of the sweet purity of her life and her devotion to God and those she loved became an example for others. As we read our lesson we first hear how logic speaks, then love re plies, and finally a life says the final word. I. Logic (vv. MSI. Tragic misfortune had visited Naomi, who with her husband and two sons had gone from Bethlehem to Moab in a time of famine. Not only had her husband died but also her two sons, who had married Gentile women, leaving three widows in one family to mourn together. Naomi craved the fellowship of her own people in her hour of trial, and she arose to return to her own land. Her departure brought out in the two daughters-in-law the expression of kindness and loyalty whleh should exist in every family, but whleh fs all too often lacking Her own testimony concerning these girls of Moab is that they dealt kindly with her and with the dead. That word speaks volumes. There fs so little genuine kindness in the world. Both Orpah and Ruth went with her on the way, protesting their loyal purpose to go with her all ths way. Naomi inet their kind offer with the only sensible answer. There was no point in leaving their homes and loved ones and going with her to another country. Logic is so conclusive and so final. Yes. and sometimes it reaches the wrong conclusion. Love has something to say about the matter. Let us listen to its voice 11. Love (v. 14). Orpah loved her mother-in-law That is evident. She wept at the thought of parting, and was affectionate in her final farewell. We must not be too quick to censure her. She did what Naomi told her to do. She responded to her love for home and kinfolk. She gave up reluctantly, but she did give up and turn back. How glad we are that Ruth showed a deeper love, "Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her." There is a differ ence. Such love cannot be denied It is the most precious possession that a man can have, apart from his fellowship with God. The love of a devoted father or mother, of a noble helpmate, or of a little boy or girl, these are the things that really make life worth while. Life has put into the hands of many of us the opportunity of showing just that kind of love In these postwar days. A boy comes home crippled and disabled and a loyal sweetheart shows her undimmished love for him. even though he can never again be what he had expected to be. That is love. A mother and a father take to their hearts a promising young son who returns from overseas with a shattered nervous system, and give their lives anew to him. One could go on and on with et ch Hlus-.rationa, but what wo are saying is that it takes more than a kiss and some tears to express real love. "Ruth clave unto her," Such love expresses itself in a 111. Life (vv. 15-17). Literature knows no more beautiful declaration of faith and devotion than these words, and nothing could Improve on it Lord Tennyson said of the book of Ruth that “no art can Improve on it." And of these verses another said, "We cannut hope to contribute to literature a sentence so exquisite and thrilling as that Into which Ruth poured the full measure of a noble heart, but we can imitate her devotion" (William Jennings Bryan). The conclusion of the story finds Ruth married to Boaz, her kinsmanredeemer, and "living happily ever after," as a true romance should end. God gives happy endings. Here we find the right attitude toward marriage, somethM whicn needs emphasis in our day. Above all, as we remember that Ruth was an ancestress of Jesus, we see anew the importance es clean, ncble, godly living What will the generaUac, to coma bo able to say about our Ujlivts? El ..
