She had no thought of making merely a trial of the land of Judah, and of Naomi‘s people and her God. She made a deâ€" cision that was not to be reversed and was taking a step never to be reâ€" traced. "Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me." Naomi was a widow indeed. She was desolate, but she trusted God and continued in suppliâ€" cation and prayer night and day. "And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from followâ€" ing after thee; for whither thou goâ€" est, I will go; and where thou lodgâ€" est, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people". Is our example such that some of those around us would be willing to say, Thy people shall be my people? "And thy God my God."] Certainly a radical change had come into the life of this Moabitish woâ€" man. Nothing is deeper in one‘s sou!l than religion, and nothing but the most powerful force can change the heart of a strong character in the matter of religious faith. "And she said, Behold, thy sisterâ€" inâ€"law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god." The god of the Moabites was Chemosh (Num. 21:29; 1 Kings II:33). "Return thou after thy sisterâ€"inâ€"law. J "And they lifted up their voice. and wept again: and Orpah kissed her motherâ€"inâ€"law." And, though the text does not say, one rightly asâ€" sume that, with this final greeting, Orpah returned to Moab. "But Ruth clave unto her." And she said, Behold, thy â€"sisterâ€" inâ€"law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god; return thou after thy sisterâ€"inâ€"law. Ruth 1:14. And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her motherâ€"inâ€"law; but Ruth clave unto her.

In itself, the child is only the grandson of her family and estate; on account of Ruth‘s love, it becomes to her a veritable grandchild of love, "And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel." It is one of the peculiar beauties of our narrative that its last words are almost wholly devoted to Naomi. And justly so; for it was Naâ€" omi who, by her exemplary life in Moab, had been the instructress of Ruth. "So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughterâ€"inâ€"law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab; and they came to Bethâ€"leâ€" hem in the beginning of barley harâ€" vest." The time is identified by this statement as the month of April. Barley was the first crop to be cut (Ex. 9:31, 32; 2 Sam. 21:9). _ "I went out full, and Jehovah hath brought me home again empty; why call ye me Naomi, seeing Jehovah hath testified against me, and the Alâ€" mighty hath affiicted me? Surely widowhood, and misfortune, and disâ€" appointment, and sorrow, are not to be taken by Christian believers as inâ€" dications of God‘s wrath or displeasâ€" ure. Whatever we are called upon to suffer, we know that "whom the Lordl loveth, he chasteneth. "And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi." Naomi, on the surface. appears to mean my sweetness, a name expressive of the mother‘s joy in the newâ€"born child. "Call me Maâ€" ra." Mara means bitter. "For the Alâ€" mighty hath dealt very bitterly with me." Almost the same words as in Job 27:2. "So they two went until they came to Bethâ€"lchem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethâ€"lechem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi?" Bethlehem was not a large city, and, in the Orient, the populaâ€" tion of such a place is more or less permanent, families living in the same town generation after generaâ€" tion. "And when she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking unto her." Style No. 8287 is designed for sizes 14, 16, 18 years, 36, 38 and 40â€"inches bust.

Seattle.â€"More divorces are causâ€" ed by "women who talk too much" than by any other one thing, Jusâ€" tice of the Peace Charles Claypoo!l said last week. Woman‘s Verbosity "And the women of her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi and they called his name Obed; he is the father of Jesse, the father of David." The word Obed is an abbreviated form of Obeâ€" diah, which means "the servant of God. Thus does Ruth become the greatâ€"grandmother of Israel‘s great king and, ultimately, an â€" ancestress of the great kinsman himself, the Son of David, the Messiah of lsrael,' the Savious of the world (Matt. 1:5,’ 6; Luke 3:31, 32). | "And Naomi took the child, .nd| laid it in her bosom, and became ; nurse unto it."
