The question would then be settled upon the side of religion. Her decision would cost her something. It was homeland with its comforts, familiarities, and idols; or it was a strange land, among strangers, in the service of Israet‘s God.

"Ruth \ said, entreat me not" (v. 16.) Immediâ€" | ately, without hesitation, without asking | lime for consideration, Ruth answered. | A gay, worldly youth, careless of his | soul and thaughtless of God, was awakâ€" | ened early one morning by a divine call | to reflect upon his wasted, sinful life. He | saw at once his guilt, his danger. Deeply \ impressed, he did not hesitate a moment. | He sprang from his bed, knelt, and made an instant, solemn dedication or himself | to God. He went to his business anothâ€" er man, and never turned back. He lived | to be extensively used in the ministry of | the gospel. 2. *ffectionate. "Entreat | me not to leavs thee" (v. 16.) Naomi | had no more sons that Ruth might wed. is}"' was poor, lonely, sorrowful, apparâ€" | ently indifférent, but Ruth loved her. | She could leave her other earthly friends, | but not the .gne friend who had shown her the way to heaven; she could leave | her own mother who had taught her to worship idols, but not the husband‘s moâ€" ther who had taught _ her to worship | God. Stephen H. Tyng says: "This is | the young _ Christian‘s _ affectionate | choice. _ It is not the stand of duty, cou!d follow. That was all. She had on!y herself to offer, only affection and fidelity to give. We come to Christ as we are, and receive of his inheritance (Matt. 11; 28â€"30.) 4 Entire. "Whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest I will lodge" (v. 16.) It cost Ruth something to go with Naomi. She left her country, her home, her friends, her all. President Edwards says in his diary : "I have this day been before God and given myself, all that I am and have, to God, so that I am in no respect my own. I can challenge no right in myâ€" self, in this understanding, this will. to this body or any of its members, no to this body or any of its mebers, no right _ to this _ tongue, these â€" hands, these feet, these eyes, these ears: I have given myself clean away." 5. Influenced choice. _ It is not the stand of duty, obligation, fear or necessity. _ It is not an involuntary, sorrowful relinquishâ€" ment of a world that was loved as long as it bloomed and is forsaken because it has faded; but the perception of someâ€" thing infinitely more precious to be atâ€" tained. Her choice is of the Saviour beâ€" cause she really loves him. Could she be always with him, forever like him, she would desire nothing besides." 3. Humâ€" ble. "Or to return from following after thee" (v. 16.) Ruth was poor. She by another. "Thy people shall be my pecple, and thy God my God" (v. 16). Ruth loved Naomi, then she chose Nagomi‘s God. An Afghan spent an hour with William Marsh. Afterward hearâ€" insy of the death of the good man, he exclaimed: "His religion shall be my reâ€" ligion; his God shall be my God; for I musâ€"#"go where he is and see his face again." Human love leads to heavenly loves _A godly life has an attracting power. _ "I thank God," said one, "I have lived a few months in the family of a Chrisggian woman. I learned more about religion from that Christian mother, as sho went about her duties and bore up urder her trials, than from all the preschers T ever heard." 6. Determined. Telegraple operating is a favorite purâ€" suit for women in England. "Where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me, an! more also, if aught but death part thee and me" (v. 17). Ruth was "steadâ€" fastly minded" (v. 17). Here was a deâ€" termination from which there was no turning back, as Cortez and his soldiers, entering on the conquest of _ Mexico, lurred the ships behind them to cut off »ll possibility of retreat. 7. Rewarded. "Ta> Lord recompense thy work, a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of lsrael, under whose wings thou art from the Father‘s hand f#ife seed of pai';a. is to miss fruits of bigssing which can grow from no other ing.â€" We should giv« sorrow, when itfomes, just as lovâ€" ing welcome as we gifte joy, for it is from the same hand has the same erâ€" rand." 4.

Pastor J. R. Miller says: "Receive sorrow reverently, as sent from God. Even in tears accept its message as divine. There is always some blessing in Pain‘s hot hand.

Toronto, Dec. 2.â€"Quite out of the way methods were used by Bella Macâ€" kenzie. a maid at the Palmer House, who was arrested yesterday on a charge of theft to aceumulate and get away with the spoils. It was discovered that she has for some time been filling pillow cases with bed clothes and surreptitiâ€" ously rolling them off the roof to a conâ€" federate below, who made off with them. She has also been packing her trunk with various articlee and then having it taken away by an expressman to the house of her confederate, who would unload it and return it to be freighted again. The expressman who took . the trunk away noticed the unusual weight of it going and its lightness when it came back. Suspicions were first aroused by seeing the trunk on the sidewalk where it had been left for the expressman to take away. i Sir Felix Schuster Issues a Warning to Bankers. London, Dec. 2.â€"In his address as president, before the institute of bankâ€" ers in London toâ€"night Sir Felix Schuster gave a grave waurning of signs of a reâ€" action in trade. Present indications, he said, point rather to restriction than exâ€" pansion. Not only in Great Britain, but throughout the world, the recent enorâ€" mous development of trade, especially in railroad _ construction _ and _ electrical undertakings, had caused expansion at such a rapid rate that the capital availâ€" able had not sufficed to meet so many demands. This, he declared, applies parâ€" ticularly to the United States and Gerâ€" many, but its effects must gradually make itself felt in all markets. _ Detective Sockett made the arrest and is hot on the trail of the confederate and receiver in~the case. In speaking of the oecurrence afterward Mrs. Lother said that she never in all her life had such a hugging as the bear gave her. She fairly reveled in the embrace of the animal at first, thinking that she was in the arms of her brawny husband. It was not until the animal tightened his clasp about her that she realized that neither big John Lother nor any other man could hug like that. Mrs. Lother was in her kitchen, when the bear, probably attracted by the smel! of the cooking, stuck his nose in the door. ‘The woman, whose back was toward the door did not turn, thinking that her husband who had gone to the mountains afâ€" ter turkey, was stealing up behind her to give her a kiss. ‘"Ab, John! Your awful whiskers‘!" she exclaimed, without looking up, when a shagzy head brushed her cheek. ‘"‘John you hug like a beur," she exclaimâ€" ed. and twisting in the embrace, she looked squarely into the face of bruin. ‘"‘You ornery brute!" yelled the woman, swinging her fryingpan in ber surprise and disappointment on the back of bruin‘s head. She followed up this advantage with a flat iron from the stove, seizing a moment later upon a formidable poker, with which she if they were already in a school 1 do not know that I would> bother about making any change. 1 cannot say that 1 see any particular need to place them in schoolrooms, and these pictures should certainly not be placed where Jewish _ children are expected to be tanght. _ Every person‘s religion is enâ€" titled to respect, and I do not think that we have any right to offend peoâ€" ple‘s religious susceptibilitiee needlessâ€" Rev. J. (4. Shearer said: "I have read Rev. Dr. Wilson‘s statement, and I have no hesitation in saying I do not think that matters of this kind should be decided at the beck of a minority of foreigners who have come ‘upon our shores. This is a Christian country, and I do not think that anybody who comes here and enjoys the advantages of our Christian civilization should obâ€" ject cither to Christian pictures being hung or to Christian pictures being seen in our schools. Thought it Was Her Hasband But Was a Bear. Richmond, Va., Dec. 2.â€"Mrs. Addie Loâ€" ther. who lived with her usband, John Loâ€" ther, in a snug cabin bome in the mounâ€" tainous section some miles west of Winchesâ€" ter, is probably the only woman who, after having been in the embrace of a shaggy bear, routed the monster with a woman‘s weapon and refused to faint afterward. Ther Mrs. Lother felt two strong arms encircle her waist, and she gave a grunt that evidently pleased the hugger, for the clasp tightened. "I think it is possible for people to get so broad that they become extremeâ€" ly narrow. And, further, I _ may say this: that there seems to exist, on the part of some of the public officials in our educational system, some ambition to gain a reputation for _ extreme breadth of view in these matters." Like every other crisis, he continued, the American crisis has arisen through overâ€"confidence brought about by an abâ€" normally prosperous state of affairs, but that the United States would ultimately out of its own resources overcome its present troubles, did not, to his mind, admit of the slightest doubt. Rev. W. J. MeKay said: â€" "I think Dr. Wilson went out of his way for this reason: Instead of finding fault with teachers or with anyone else for turnâ€" ing Christ‘s face to the wall, teachers and other people bave very little to do who have such pictures placed in the public schools of Toronto. In my humâ€" ble opinion, the public schools are not the place for any soâ€"called pictures of the Saviour. His pictures ought not to be there. 1 have no objection to hayâ€" ing pictures of a good moral charaeâ€" ter, and of such a kind as will give to the children proper culture, »but I do have objections to pictures of Christ beâ€" ing hung in the public schools. * V "And, further, it seems to me that, apart from the simple reading of the Scriptures, and not in such a way as to give dogmatic instruction or relig ious instruction, in the public schools, and, it may be, a prayer offered, there is no further need of anything in that nature."

Montrealâ€"The financial situation here comâ€" tinues quite strained on account of the shortâ€" age of money. The banks are making deâ€" termined efforts to get together what money is owing them and manufacturers are unable to get further credit and are inclined to cut wown expenses in order to pay what they already owe. This is being instanced by the way in which some of the larger manufacâ€" turing concerzs are laying off help. Their output is naturally much reduced. It is a unique pecularity of the present situation that all this time there is an excellent deâ€" mand for most lines of manufacture. ‘Toronto.â€"There has been little change in the general situation here during the past week. The stringency is having considerable effect upon industries and what the ultimate outcome will be is at the present moment problematical. The banks are busy strenghâ€" ening themseives by the calling in of all loans and by refusing to grant others no matter how sound investments they may be. So tar there has not been much done in the way of actual retrenchment although there are signs that this sort of thing will be in order if there is not a pronounced return of contidence and there may be some laying off of employees before long. The opinion is often expressed here, amongat those of unâ€" doubted authority, that the greatest danger threatening is that of undue lack of confiâ€" dence in tue basic conditions of this country‘s trade and commerce, â€" Ottawaâ€"There is a fairly good tone to gen eral wholesale trade here.
