I. The Occasion of Ruth's Choice.
(1:1-15).
On account of the famine in Beth
lehem-Judea. Naomi with her husband
and two sons sojourned in the land
of Moab. After the death of her hus
band, her two sons married Moabitish
women. After a time her sons died
also. Upon the death of her sons she
resolved to return to her homeland,
having heard that the Lord had visit
ed his people in giving them bread.
Her family \fent to Moab to escape
trouble, but they only got into more
trouble. It was not till Naomi was
thus chastised that she resolved to re
turn. She had the good sense to
recognize that the hand of the Lord
was upon her for good. Ruth and Or
pali accompanied her. This she per
mitted, but determined to place before
them frankly the difficulties which
would necessarily confront them. It
was this frank presentation of the
difliculties and her repeated urging
them to go back that furnished the
occasion for Ruth's wise choice.
11. The Trials of Ruth's Choice (vv.
IG-18).
Much as Naomi loved her daughters
in-law, she would not have them go
Into this matter blindly. She wished
them to know the cost of their under
taking. She told them the worst that
could come upon them, then if hard
ships came they could only blame
themselves.
Note the difficulties which confront
ed Ruth:
1. No chance to get married again.
Naomi told her that she had no more
sons for which she could wait. In that
day to be unmarried was the greatest
disgrace. Furthermore, it was against
God's law for the Jews to marry out
side of their own people.
2. She must renounce her gods. Her
idolatrous worship could not be carried
on in the land where God's people
dwelt. This was delicately touched
upon when Orpah went back (v. 15).
Orpah went back when it was plain
that there was ho chance to get a hus
band. Now Naomi puts an additional
test upon Ruth, that of giving up her
religion. Naomi's very frankness in
dealing with her caused Ruth to be
more and more determined to cast her
lot with her. No doubt she learned to
love the true God through the life of
this true woman. She was deter
mined to share Naomi's journey, her
home, her lodging, her lot in life and
her grave In death, whatever that
would be. To crown it all she would
renounce her heathen gods and em
brace Jehovah. When Naomi saw that
Ruth's mind was fully made up she
quit urging her.
111. The Glorious Issue of Ruth's
Choice.
Ruth was never sorry for her choioe,
for:
1. She found the true God (v. 1G).
2. She found human friends (eh. 2).
As she went to glean in the fields she
was led to the field of Boaz —a man
of wealth and grace. The servants of
Boaz treated her with consideration;
even Boaz gave instruction for special
consideration to he given her.
3. A good husband rind a happy home
(chaps. 3 and 4). She not only se
cured a husband, but a man of God,
who had abundance of this world's
goods.
4. An honored place in the Israel-
Itish nation (4:13-17). Though she had
to forsake her own people, she became
one of a nobler people.
5. She became a link in the chain
of Christ's ancestry (4:18-22; cf. Matt.
1:5). The one who fully decides for
Christ and gives up all for him shall
get a hundredfold in this life and in
the world to come, eternal life.
This story is a fine exhibition of dis
pensational truth:
(1) The famine in the land indicates
the testing of the Jews; (2) the going
into Moah, the sojourn of the Israel
ites among the nations; (3) sickness
and death in Moah, the chastisement of
the Jews in this present age; (4) the
return to the land, the gathering of
Israel to their own land; (5) Ruth lol
lowing, the gathering of the Gentiles
through the influence of the Jews;
(6) the marriage between Boaz and
Ruth, the union of the church with
Christ.
Faith in God.
If your faith in God is stronger for
every humble task in which you need
end get his aid, then that humble task
is necessary to the fullness of your
faith in God. It will make the music
of your life more firm and solid. —

If Constipated, Bilious
or Headachy, take
"Cascarets"
Feel grand! Be efficient! Don't stay
sick, bilious, headachy, constipated. Re
move the liver and bowel poison which
is keeping your head dizzy, your tongue
coated! your breath bad and your stom
ach sour. Why not set a small box of
Cascarets and enjoy the nicest, gentlest
laxative-cathartic you ever experi
enced? Cascarets never gripe, sicken
or inconvenience one like Salts, Oil,
Calomel or harsh pills. Cascarets bring
sunshine to cloudy minds and half-sick
bodies. They work while you sleep. Adv.
"SLANG" ROOT OF LANGUAGE
Idiom of Today in Correct Usage To
morrow, Declares University Pro
fessor of English.
That the slung and idioms of today
will be correct English tomorrow is
the opinion of Prof. H. Glicksman of
the English department, University of
Wisconsin.
"Our language is made up of what
was once slang, idiom, colloquialism,
and jargon," he said lately, and
warned that the most deplorable fea
ture about slang was its tendency to
produce mental slovenliness.
Professor Glicksman then referred
to the word "mob" as slang of 200
years ago and as such denounced in
the Spectator by Addison.
"It is an abbreviation of the word
'mobile.' Even so the word 'pep' is
vital and virile and will survive with
the word 'snappy.' But to gain recog
nition slang must be free from vul
garity and cheapness," said Professor
Glicksman.
"The term 'How do you get that
way?' is condemned because it is
meaningless, but the term 'lie has a
pull' is approved as it is the opposite
of 'push,' a word that has forged
ahead through its own strength."—

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-BOOT
Thousands' of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's pre

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle im
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.
fAARTHA JANE A DIPLOMAT
Even Stern Mamma Couldn't Deny
She Had Obeyed the Strict
Letter of the Law.
Martha Jane's sweet tooth ftad been
indulged so much that her mother had
issued the decree, "No more candy,"
and the reminder of the box had
been relegated to the top shelf. A
/ew days ago it was brought down and
judiciously apportioned to Martha
Jane, for whom a taste spelled more,
and even a second taste did not sat
isfy. When her mother saw her about
to take a third helping she remarked,
emphatically:
"Now, don't let me see you take an
other piece."
Presently Mrs. S was called
from the room, and when she returned
she found her four-year-old daughter
in the farthest corner of the couch,
hastily making way with a nice, plump
chocolate cream.
"Martha Jane," said her mother, in
her sternest tones, "didn't I tell you
not to let me see you take another
piece of candy?"
"I know you did, mother," said the
little diplomat, "but I took this one
while you were gone."
