BUT TRUE. in the ONTARIO SUE‘éDAY SEHfiUL Lesson VLâ€"First Quarter, For Feb. 7, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson. Ruth i, 6-18. Memory Verses, 16, 17â€"Golden Text. Ruth i, 16â€"Ocmment‘ary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We have juSt one lesson in this beap- L tiful storyiof Ruth. but we will seek to gather many things from the whole story. The first and last names in thc book. Bethlehem and David. are Who of the 1119th suggestive in the Bible. No man's name is mentioned so often as David, and his is the first and last name of a more 1mm in the New Testa- ment. Betlilchmu. besides all the oth- er interesting facts (-mmevtvd with it. will always be of spew-in! interest as the birthplace of the firstborn son 01’ Mary. Jesus Christ our Lord. Ruth is ~ one of the four women mentioned in Matt. i among the ancestors of the son of David. Somv one has said that the four chapters of this book might be en- . titled Ruth dawiiling «:lvuuiug-~ rest » lush-rewarded. .. - ._â€"- -o- The devotion of Ruth is an example of the devotion to Jesus Christ. whieh is expected of all believers. Her pa tient gleaning in the held of 80:12 has in it an example of the patience and faithfulness which should be seen in every Christian. Her quiet expectation of some great result at the suggestion of. her motlxerâ€"in-law makes us think of .the assurance that the meek shall inherit the earth. When we see her as the wife of Benz. the owner of the field in which she had so patiently gleaned. we cannot hut think of the time when the‘churvh; the may of Christ. the company of all the faithful gleaners «if this present age. shall heeume the bride of our mighty man of‘ wealth. the owner of the field. which is the world. and then we shall inherit all things with Him and reign with Him on the earth (Rev. xxi. 7; v, 10). That Naomi and her husband and mus should leave Bethlehem because of a famine and go to sojourn in Moab seems like the misstep which Abram made when he left Canaan because of a famine and went down to Egypt, for he only got into trouble there. and we read of no altar unto the Lord until he returned again to Bethel (Gen. xil..lO; xiii“ A). Poor Naomi. found trouble enoug in Moab in the loss of her hus- band and two sons. but she seems to acknowledge that the going to Moab was her affair, while it was her gra4 cious Lord who brought'ber back to Bethlehem. “1 went out full and the Lord hath brought me home again empty" «chapter i. 21). She turned her steps homeward because she heard that the Lord had given bread to Beth- lehem (verse 6). The wandering boy of Luke xv turn- ed homeward when he thought of the bread in his father’s house. it seems as if we should be ever telling to the perishing of the bread. and to seare, in our Father‘s house, for how can they hear unless some one tells? Naomi knew -the God of Israel. These wom- en of Moah must have learned of Him through her. and Ruth had learned to know Him well enough to forsake all for Him. to esteem Him inore than her own peoyle and her father's house. Orpah had not so learned to know him. If our testimony is what it should be and our life He will use us to gather some to Himself. The devotion of Ruth in the ever memorable words of verses 16. 17. are in a measure repeat- ed by Ittai to David in 11 Sam. xv, 21. The words in verse 11). "So they two went.” are found in ii Kings ii, 2. 4. 6. 7, 8. 11. and there again we see a steadfast purpose on the part of Elisha which brought to him that which his soul desired. This is the steadfastness which we so greatly need «I Cor. xv, 58). The friendliness and thoughtful kâ€"ind- ness of 13an in chapter ii'are but a faint type of the loving kindness of our Lord Jesus. who can truly‘say. “1 know thy works.” etc. til. 11. 12; Rev li. 2. 9. 13, 19). If. as His redeemed ones. we have not recognized many “handfuls of pur- pose” as we have gleaned in the part of thefield He has assigned us. we must be blind indeed «chapter ii. 16). The words of Boaz in Ruth iii. 11. “Fear not. my daughter; I will do to thee all that thou requirest.” made a great ime pression upon my. wife. as we saw then] in a motto in the Y. W. C. A. at Cape Town. South Africa. in 1808. and we have often passed them on to 0th ers since then. There is also much comfort in the Words 01' Naomi in chapter iii. 18. “Sit still. my daughter. ‘ ‘ " for the man will not be in rest until he have finished the thing this day.” In chapter lr Boaz T the klnsman redeemer. having the ght to redeem and accomplishing the same. is won- derfully suggestive. of our Redeemer, who not only redeems usr but also our Inheritanc‘e. the earth. and seals us with the Holy Spirit. the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession (Eph. 1. 13. 14). When.- Naomi became nurse for little Obed (chapter iv, 16. 21) she no doubt forgot ln a measure the emp- tiness of chapter 1: 21. Ruth also for- got the weary day? of her poverty when she gleaned in the field of Boaz. So we shall forget all our misery and remember lt as waters that pass away (Job 15. 16). Let us be certain that we are re- deemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and then patiently and unwea- rledly fill the pl -‘e to which He has assigned as rejoicing in the glory which shall be ours at His appearing.

Personally. Mi‘. Beauty is stalky, healthy, and strong. His chief char- aCteI‘iStit‘. is a quiet assurance, which is Very impressive. He is not afraid to talk up to the high executive ofh- cials of the C.P.R. In fact. it is said' he once told Mr. McNicoii the old story about the closest race, and ap- plied it to that gentleman because he objected to certain expenditures ad- vocated by the young counsel. The story, you remember is of the man who was talking about the close horse races he had seen. He told about several, then the man he was talking to said: “WIâ€"1y, I’ve seen a closer race than any of these." “Where?” asked his friend. “Why, in Scotland." Many a sad-hearted immigrant has carried away from Windsor Station, Montreal, the friendship of the C.P.R. counsel. Not long ago a happy-faced little Scotch boy landed in Montreal en route to British Columbia. It was his second visit to Canada. His first visit was about a year ago, but then he was a different boy, he was pale and delicate, and was suffering from “flu “Vllvubv, “u“ H “Iv nunâ€"v- __ v __ a broken wrist, which needed atten- tion. The little fellow chanced across the path of one whose sympathy is always reaching 'out to others, with the result that he was carried into a cab and was soon comfortably lodg- ed in a private ward. After three weeks in the hospital, it was discov- ered that the boy had contracted tu- berculosis, but Mr. Beatty was not discouraged. The little patient was next seen in spacious quarters at Agathe enjoying the full home bene- flts of the mountain air, and after three months he starts home to Scot- land on a trip. Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Stur- dee, the hero of the Falkland Islands naval engagement, has a first cousin in Toronto in the person of Mr. E. F. L. Sturdee, assistant district passen- ger agent of the C.P.R. Mr, Sturdee says that some twenty years ago Sir Frederick was a torpedo lieutenant on the old Bellerophon in the North Atlantic squadron, before the forma- tion of the Atlantic fleet, when Halt- tax was a naval base and the winter headquarters of the squadron, Ber- muda being the summer headquar- ters. Mr. Sturdee last saw the rear- admiral some ten years ago, when he visited St. John while on furlough. He has not been in Canada since. One branch of the Sturdee family- settled in Canada. In gazetting William C. G. Heneker as a general, and calling him home from India to take his place in the British expeditionary force at the head of a brigade on the firing line in France. Lord Kitchener has sig- nally honored a Canadian officer, who received his military training at Kingston, and who has seen service in various parts of the earth. Gen. Heneker was born in Sher- brooke, Que., his father being presi- dent of the Eastern Townships Bank for many years. High Cost of Living Is Sadly Jarred. The cost of living in Canada is rapidly going back to normal and the present outlook is that living in the course of a few months will be even lower than when war broke out. When hostilities were first opened. the cost otliving took a big jump. However, prices in many lines are dropping. Rents in the West have been reduced some thirty per cent. Meats have also - gone down. The high price of wheat and flour is tend- ing to keep up the general level of prices.

S‘VIFT (,‘LI'ZB. Honor‘ For Canadian. Cousin of Sturdee. Grant For' Church. In popular praotlce alfalfa bay has been found so satisfactory that ap- proxlmately four-fifths of the country’s crop ts consumed in this way. There are however, other uses to which it may be put. Notable among these is its value as a soiling crop. After each cutting it renews its growth with great readiness. and there is practically none of the danger from bloat which makes it somewhat disadvantageous as pas- ture for cattle and sheep. Hogs. on the other hand are more apt to injure the stand than to be injured by it. As ensilage alfalfa is perhaps not as satisfactory as in otherfreSpects. It is apt to be slimy. and the percentage of loss from spoiling is frequently appre- ciable. The readiness. however. with which the .hay may be cured and uti- lized renders the making of alfalfa into silage ordinarily unnecessary. On the bther band. within recent years alfalfa meal has gained considerable popular- ity. This meal is ground up either alone or mixed with other concentrates. ‘such as molasses. bran and corn chop. It can be fed with less waste than the hay. and the cost of transportation is. Bf course. very considerably dimin- ished when shipments for large dis- tances are necessary. Since a pound of alfalfa hay contains no more nutri- ment. however. after. it has been ground up into meal than it did before. there does not seem to be any particu- lar advantage in the process when the crap is intended for home consumption. Among the minor uses for this very useful map may be mentioned feed for all kinds of poultry.
