IN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV R. a CARSON.
HN«Ml T*« Mwj mt MM*
Brooklyn. S. T.—la Grace Presby
terian Church the pastor, the Rev. Rob
ert H. Cnrsoo, preached Sunday even
lag from the book of Ruth. Among
ether things be said:
We miss a great deal of the beauty
•mt power of the Bible because of
the manner in which we am accus
tomed to read it. There are very few
who take time to read n whole hook
through at a slugte sitting. We d.p
Into Scripture ss If It were a book of
fete, reading s verse here and another
there, so it is wot surprising that we
rise from the exercise haring received
Iwit little help and spiritual refresh
ment. There is no royal road to
knowledge. There Is no way to gar
ner the lessons which Holy Scripture
tenches sav# through that steady and
persistent searching of which oar Sav
lons spoke when He said. “Search the
Scriptures, for they are they which
testify of lie.”
It Is our hope this evening to point
out some of the beautiful lessons con
tained In oue tittle hook of the Bible,
In one of the most delightful stories
ever presented for cootemptatlon by
the nilod of iuan. 1 refer to the book
of noth. Its very place In the sacred
caitou make* It a memorable piece ot
literature. It la. ns you know, pre
csded by Ike (took of Judges, aud fol
lowed by the book of Samuel. These
books are concerned almost exclusively
with the national history of ltmel
wlth the wars, defeats. bumlltaUbns.
murmuring*, complainings, repining*
nod repentances of the people. They
are not. in the main, pleasant rending.
Their pages are red with hlood. and
violence, aud rapine, and lawless deeds,
the unchangeable consequences of n
nation forgetting God and neglecting to
do His wlIL
It is a creat pleasure, therefore, lo
tnni from these hooks that tell or the
nps and downs of national life, and
fix tbe attention upon the t-Barmlng
story of Ruth. That little book pic
tures domestic life: It cirea ne a
glimpse Into tbe <inlet. everyday habits
and customs of tbe men and women
1 of that time, and we see them In tbelr
home*, in the harvest field*, at tbe
festival*, and at religions service*.
Biography is, ( think, tbe favorite
rending matter. We are deluged with
a flood of fictitious ldogtapby in the
shape of novels which route by tbon
aands front tbe printing press every
yettf. It la itn easy, bnt not very
profitable kind of reading, for la the
majority or cases there is a great deal
of unreality, too grunt an absence of
the lifelike, and too little of what we
know (she* common experience.
It la not so. however. In the book of
noth. There we hare life traly de
picted: there we meet with ineu and
women a* we find them to-day—not An
gela and not demons, bnt erring, endur
ing. faithful and not anbleat.
It la not my Intention to enter upon
the story. I trnat that yon all know
It. or that If yon do not. that yon will
take a quiet half hour this fei-y even
log. and. peruse that little book, which
In Its superiority, la at far removed
from oar modern stories as tbe east
U from tbe west.
In coming late touch, then, with this
piece of sacred literature, and consid
ering for oar edification some of the
lessons which it teaches, we see first of
all the superiority of character. The
twe chief figure* In tbe story are Boas
and Bath, and it Is tbelr characters
that make them such. There Is not
In tbe whole mage of literature a bet
ter type of manly, healthy religion
than la exemplified in the case of Boss.
Ton remember that semis In tbe har
vest field. He went tlown to hi* reap
ers. and his MlolatioN without any
rant or insincerity, was. “The Lord be
with you." My friends, when such a
greeting as that can take place be
tween master and men. it testifies to
lb* presence of a religion that leaves Its
mark upon very set. and upon all the
couduet of life. It Is tbe men like
Boas who are the ornament and glory
of religion: the men whose I teller* III
fluence them all In Ibe manifold con
cerns of life. In tbe forum. In the mar
ket plare, abroad as well as at home.
Our Lord tells as rrho are lo be ac
counted blessed. It la not the mere
bearers of His word, nor they who can
cry. “Lord. land,” ami affirm that they
bar* prayed In public place*. It Is
“Blessed are the doers ef tbe Word."
and hleased they alone, finch in his
day was Bos*—a man of kindly feel
ings, pore heart, strong conviction, true
purpose, and the benediction of tbe
Most High was udoii him.
Sack, too, waa Ruth, with bar loving,
lander, considerate heart—one of tbs
fairest character* la tba whole range
of Hebrew Scripture.
And tba mast noteworthy fact In tills
connection is that them character*
ware peadacsd amid surroundings and
an environment that would have tti
canragsd the average peraaa. it waa
a lawless time: restrains were weak
ened or entirely removed, and men be
came a law ante themselves, dock a
condition of and sty la net favorable to
the cultivation and development of the
nobler virtue*, end yet. amid suck a

abonM ask Him to search and try w*.
to see )r there It any eric had way In ns,
and lead ua in tbe way everlasting.
But we learn again, from tbe story,
tbe pUco of good works In tbe religious
life.
I do not tblnk we wonld have beard
of Boas nnd Ruth If their religion* life
had consisted of fsltb atone. It is their
deeds, the resalts, lu dally life, of their
faith tbnt Is especially dwelt upon. In
this respect the hook or Ruth makes
an admirable commentary upon tbe
epistle of James. Indeed, oue of the
most cheering features of modern re
ligion* life lies In tbe fact that this
divinely appointed connection between
faltb nnd works Is ilnlly receiving more
attention. Par be it from me to lightly
criticise oirr Puritan forbears, still ns
w« reed about these heroic men or
whom the world was not worthy, doe*
it not sometime* teem as if the neces
sity of raltb wss emphasised at the
expense of the necessity of works to
correspond? The two have been joined
together: tbclr union constitutes tbe
perfect religious life, aud what Ciod
hath jollied together let not man pnt
asunder. What I am trylug to sny has
lieen summed np lu n sentence by the
late f. W. Robertson, u sentence which
the church should never 1st die. nod
that sentence Is. "Faith alone saves,
but not tbe faith that Is alone.”
Ton remember Christ’s word*. "Do
men gather grape* of thoru*. or tig* of
thistle*?" Tbe man who rlieitora his
knees with the glow of the dlvT*« com
munion upon Ids face, the man whose
faltb hath made him a partaker of the
power of Hod. and who then goes forth
to lire tbe life wblrh bis ralth hath
revealed to him. is tbe man of whom
Christ alone will not be ashamed when
He cometh in the glory of Hi* Father
and of the holy angel* to judge the
world.
U Ik noteworthy. too. I think. that the
Tirtne in which Book nnd Rnlh ex
celled waa the plain, everyday virtue
of kindness. The greatest materia!
blessing* are the most common; air,
light, water, these are within the reach
of all. So also the greatest virtues
nre within the power of nil to possess.
Paol says. “Now abideth faith, hope.'
charity, these three, but the greatest of
these Is charity." It I* possible for n#
to nttnln to the possession of that ferae*
i —the greatest of all. We all have di
verse gifts nod powers, differing one
from another, so thst some mount
higher than others, but there la none
of ns. no matter wbat our limitations
may be. who cannot apeak the kind,
word, do the kind deed and pets the
kindly judgment, and that la charity,
the greatest of the virtues. Wbat a
change wonld- tnbe place In this old
and weary world If only onr deeds cor
responded with our faith and Te fol
mied the royal law according to the
Scriptures: "Thon the It love thy
neighbor ns thyself."
But. again, the book of RoUi teaches
un the necessity of decision. We read
that Rntb and Orpah came to the part
ing of the ways, tbnt one turned back
to Moab nnd her people, and that tho
other took her way to the land of
Israel. I* not that a true simile of
life? Sooner or later each one of ns
comes to the porting of the ways, nnd
we make the decision whose results are
endless. “The kingdom of n*yven.”
Mith our Lord. “luffaretb vlnlcucOdM^
me violent take It by force.’’ Tliat
mentis that one cannot drift Into It.
It needs a strong exertion of the win
a decision that abides. Memorable
forever is Ruth's decision. When she
nays to Naomi. “Entreat me not to
loave thee, or to return from following
after thee, for whither thou goest I
will go. and where thou lodgest I will
lodge, thy people shall be my people,
and tby Hod my Ood.’’ she takes her
place among the first ranks of those
to whom the high and gracious hearts
of all ages pay reverence. Friends, It
Is a great thing. It Is n needrul thing In
life to bo capable of a clear resolve.
The roan is to he envied who con part
between this nod that of opposing
claims nnd considerations, sod Is able
to say. “Hera I see my path; along this
nnd no other will I go.” Indeed this
ability to make decision la the founda
tion of all true and successful life. In
religion there la no escape from it.
' on mu not drift Into a state of salva
tion tn a crowd. “Ones to every man
and nation cornea the moment to de
cide In the strife ’twixt truth and fhlse
b<*>d. for the good or evil side." To
each of ns Individually comes the
choice wlint to do. Many a one I
think. U kept from the freedom and
joy of Christianity not Itecanse these
things are nnd wired, not because the
call of Christ la unheeded, or HU
claims unacknowledged, bot simply
for the want of the power of decision,
of strength te go forward upon a per
sonal quest.
Young friends, la yon especially this
lesson comes. Vos have still with yon
the power of choice, and ta you from
oat eternity comes the cry, "Choose ye,
choose ye. this day whom ya will
aerre." Pray Ood that yon make the
good choice, and receive His grace te
abide therein.
