Stearns. -Ayrlght, 1007, by American Pre Association.! 4 beautiful story of the days of the t:ges, when there was so much re illott ngninst God nud when for a pfie "evory ninn did right in his own (Jutlg. xvii, C; xxl, 25). Through God had His Othniel and Gideon Bnrnk and Jeputhn and others and us quietly and surely working out Js eternal purpose. The last word In (Is book, David, tells us one reason !iy the book was written. The first kd last titles of Christ in the New bstament associate Him with David latt. i, 1; Uev. xxll, 10), the name ed more than any other in the criptures and whose throne is yet to five worldwide blessing. The clos- Bg verses of the book inform us as to His ancestry for several generations Jnd that luitli of our story was his (treat-grandmother find that her hus aand Boas was the son of Rahab of tr.t.lt,.. I.ntl. .. I I j---wiuu, mini ui iu nulUOU UU VlUg I .Jaiarablo nn-ntion in Matt, i, in which 8 taiiter David is the oulv innn rnllnil king, although the names of many pngs are given. The story of this Dok Is n foreshadowing of the time , then the weary gleaners shall pos sess the field in that, morning when ioa snail Help Israel and the meek fehall inherit the earth (rs. xhi, 5, mar- fin; xxx vii. 11; Matt, v, 5). Our kius- inan Uodeeuier, the true mighty man it wealth, shall redeem the inheritance ad deliver the whole creation from be bondage of corruption into the lorlPl's liberty of the children of God lota, viil, "1-23). "The kingdom shall 9e the lord's" (Obad. 21). Mi Some one lias outlined the book as follows: Chapter (, Uuth deciding; bhapter il, Itnth gleatiJilaV chapter Hi. IfRuth resting; tlmpter iv, RUth reward ed. The losson assigned us m the first portion, but we must look ff little Lut the context. It looks ns if Ellmelceh and Xaoml ' vimai'.o a mlt-slco in colas to Monb. but ? -God overruled it as He does all things to work out His purpose. "Surely T'tffhe wrntli of limn ulinll nrntaa TIipp; ..the remainder of wrath shalt Tbou re j Retrain" (Vs. Ixxvl, 10). The loss of her i-i husband and two sous in the land of y Moub looks to Naomi like a chasten. ing, for she eays, "I went out full, and tue Lord hath brought me home again hers; the bringing home was the Lord's. She said, "The hand of the Lord is gone out against me; the Lord hath testified against me; the Al mighty hath dealt very bitterly with fife, and the Almighty hath afflicted pie" (.i'prses 13, 20, 21). let doubtless pkc v o:'.M afterward add, "Before I wo ofllieted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy word" (Ps. cxix, C7). The fullnc6? n? blessing which came to her through Ruth could not have been known uulestf she had been emptied. Broken and emptied vessels are the kind the Lord uses. The name "Al mighty" is Suggestive of this, a name first used in Con. xvll, 1, nud more times in the book of Job than In all the rest of the Bible. Job, although a servant of God, thought a great deal of himself (Job xxix), but after he had his eyes opened to see and abhor him self he was blessed 03 never before (chapter xlil). That Naomi should urge her sons' wives to return to their idolatrous homes and people seems strange when she knew the God of Israel to be the only true God, but she was not special ly joyful In the Lord about tbnt time and was so lonely heruelf that she seemed to think only of the temporal welfare of her daughters-in-law. We do not say but that she should at all costs have sought to win the Moabltes to the true God, but Christians will never wl: people out of the world by gains down into it and being con formed to it. Think how the people of Sodom despL-ed Lot when he pleaded .with tbem. They knew him too well. Naomi's testimony, ou the whole, most have been for God rather than against Him, else Ruth would never have acted or spoken as she did. May her immortal words be ours as we turn to Him who loved us and gave Himself for us (verses 1G. 17), nud may we indeed be as devoted to Him as she was to Naomi. There is an other gentile who always comes be fore me when I think of Ruth; I mean Ittat. the Gittlte, who said to David, "As the Lord liveth and as my lord the king liveth. surely In what place my lord the kin;? shall be, whether iu death or life, even there also will thy servant be" (II Sam. xv, 21). These gentiles make us think of two others In the gospel story, likewise a man and a woman who greatly refreshed out Lord by their great faith. The words "steadfastly minded" (verse 18) make us think of Acts vll, Co; xi, 2:i; I Cor. xv, 58, and work In os a great desire to see "Jesus only" and run with patience looking unto film. So they two went" (verse 10) points us to another Instance of great devo tion when Elisha refused to leave Elijah lecture he wanted a double portion of lifs tiplrlt (II Kings 11, 1-15). and we rend. "So they came; they two went on; thoy two stoiid; they -two went over; thoy ttlll went on and talked." When we desire to be filled with the Spirit ns much ns Ellsha did that day and sen Jesus ns Intently as he smv Elijah, something will surely come ol It to the glory of God. GOT HIS SHIRTS. Comical Prank a Princeton Student Played Upon a Tutor. In "rrlnceton Old and New," by James W. Alexander, is the following story : "The mode of life was simpler In those days than now, but the same hu mor which still makes collegians so comic effervesced in the old days. When, for example, William Penning ton, son of a former governor of New Jersey and himself afterward speaker of the national house of representa tives, roomed next door to Senior Tu tor Topping It was the custom for each tnnn to hang on the outside knob of his door the bag containing his soil ed clothes for the laundry. "Pennington stuffed his own skirts one day in Tutor Topping's bag and waited for tho day when the clean lin en was returned and laid out ou Top plug's bed. Then, knowing that two of the younger tutors were in Top ping's room, Pennington knocked at his dflor. On entering he put on an embarrassed nir, as If hesitating to spci.k In the presence of the other tu tors. ' "Topping ii a lofty way said: 'These gentlemen nre my friends. I have no secrets from tiiein. Say what you wish.' Pennington still hemmed and hawed, but. again urged to speak, blurt ed out: 'It U not my fault, Mr. Top ping. I did not want to say anything about It now. but as you insist I must ask you to please return the skirts I lent you, ns I am In need of them.' "Topping's rage and horror at being thus addressed before the younger tu tors, who lurked tip to him ns a Mag mis Apollo, may well be Imagined. lie began to upbraid Pennington, who in terrupted him by saying: 'It's no use, Mr. Topping, trying to deny the fact. I see the shirts there on the bod with your own things!' Tho tutor stood aghast, but Pennington stepped to the bed and picked out his own shirts, marked with his name." ST. LOUIS' GOLD MINE. Traces of the Metal Once Found With in the City Limits. St. Louis has never been known as a gold mining center, but there was once a gold mine within tho limits of the city, and, what Is more, It yielded gold, which is more than a great many gold mines In tho Rockies have done. In the sixties of the last century there was a well dug on a hill just east of Carondelet park, and the well diggers, noticing some bright, spar kllug yellow particles In thq clay at the bottom, did it Utile washing on their own account and found several grains of gold In tho pan. The news soon got abroad, and two ex-miners from the west who were living in the neighborhood quickly got the Idea that there was money to be lua-uo m St. Louis gold mlulug, so they sank a shaft not far from tho well, fully expecting rich returns from their work. They did actually Bud gold, but lu quanti ties so small that they estimated a yield of about 15 cents per ton of clay, so they filled up the hole and gave up the undertaking In that place as a bad job. But they had all the miner's enthu siasm, and the fact that they found gold at all merely stimulated their zeal to try in another place, so they went to the side of a hill where tho Glalze creek had washed away the earth and made a clay precipice. They dug a hole there, where they also found traces of the precious metal, but In no greater quantities than before. Then they went up the creek about a quarter of a mile and Bank another shaft, with no better result, Thoy spent the whole spring and summer digging holes around in tho neighborhood of the park, but the only benefit they realized from their work was the sobriquet "two luna tics," and people laughed at them so much that both left and went back west, where digging holes In the search for gold was taken more seriously than In St. Louis. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Theater Seats. Tho seats were In the orchestra on the theater's left. "The left side of the house always sells out tirst," said the box office man. "Everybody seems to prefer it to the right. I don't know why. Boxes especially we can sell two left to one right box every time. Nobody takes the right side for choice. And there is no reason for this. As much goes on In the right extremity of the stage as In the left we proprietors always look after that and you see just as much from the right as from the left side. Why. then, is the left side always at a premium?" New Or leans Times-Democrat. Tho Name Bismarck. Few people know how Bismarck nnd his ancestors gat their name. Bis marck Is the name of one of those ancient castles a short distance from Istcndal, on the road from Cologne to Berlin, in the center of the old mnr quisate of Brandenburg. The castle had th!s mime because it defended the "uiarcn." or tho line where the river Biese formed a boundary lu former times or mark of defense against in truders; hence the name of Bismnrck. When Greek Meets Greek. "Gracious, my dear." said the first society belle. "I do hope you're not 111; you lock so much older tonight." "I'm quite well, thank you, dear," re plied the other.
