FACING THE FLTI RE
No one who put? his hand to the
plow and looks bark b fit for the
kingdom of God. I^uke 9:62. (RSV)I
Our month of January gets its
name from a Roman deity whose
name was Janus This idol was two
faced having a face in the back of
his head as well as in front. One
fa^e he kept towaid the door of the
temple, where he always stood j
guard . and the other face looked
out on the Forum Also the princi
pal city of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro, j
got its euphonious name from the
same source. Rio de Janerio is
the Portugese for River of January
We are at the threshold of a new
year and sometimes we look back
at the old year as well as forward
to the new year. It is well enough
to think back over the past that j
wc may discover its mistake* and I
resolve that we will avoid these
blunders in the incoming year But
harking back to the "good old
days" is to belittle our progress
and to deny that the present is as
goo'* as the past Usually the per
son who talks of the good old days i
is simply disclosing his age.
Sometimes one can look back at
great risk to his safety Turning to !
look back while driving a car can
cause serious consequences Our
text says that one is not fit for the
kingom of God who puts his hand
to the plow and looks back Per- !
haps that means that such a per
sun is not fit to work 1 ri the king
dom of <^od Any one who has fol
i lowed a plow knows that it ls im
possible to run a straight furrow
I while looking bark No one can do
I his work properly while his eyes
'are turned from the work Also
such action may injure the work
which is already done The Israe
lites when only a short way out of,
Egypt fn the journey to the promis
ed land became hungry and dis
couraged and a^ked Moses to allow ^
them to turn back to "the flesh 1
pots of Egypt " Suppose that they'
had turned back the result would ,
have been continual slavery am
the loss o f the benefits of the pro
mised land "Remember IyOt'
wife Luke I r 32.
Should one undertake to divide
his loyalty it would become disloy
alty. and divided attention can be
ruinous. "Ye cannot serve Ood and
mammon" Though it seems that
some peopo- think that they ran
It is far better- to follow the resol
ve of Joshua who said "As for me
and my house we will serve the
Ix>rd "
In the beautiful story of Ruth,
which is found in our Bibles, we
have an instance of two young wo
men Ruth and Orpah the daugh
ters-in-law of Naomi, making j
choices as to whether to go on with 1
Naomi or turn back to their native
land and their national god Chem
osh The three of these women .
were widows Naomi was in great
sorrow for she had lost her hus
band and 'wo sons. Ruth and Orpah
had no children to lose Naomi told
them both to go back to their owi
people Ruth chose to go on with

us notice the result of their choices ,
Ruth gained a husband and a good i
home and became the mother of a
son Through this son she became
the great grand mother of David !
Israel's greatest and best loved
king Furthermore this put her in
the direct lineage of David's great
er Son. the Lord Jesus Christ See
the genealogy of Jesus as given bv
Matthew On the other hand Orpah
went back to Moab her native
country, and the moment she turn
ed away from Naomi she passed in
tn oblivion. No further mention is
made of her All Bible leaders are
familiar with the lovely story o
Ruth for it is placed in our Bible
and thus her name has been writ

necessary it is that we keep our
