"This Is Where I Live"
' Nothing could be more univer
sally true than that "a man's
home is hla castle."
And in this country there are
probably no words spoken with
more feeling or greater pride than
when a person says of his home
community: "This Is where I live."
," Into those words goes a great
deal more than the mere fact of
residence. When someone speaks
of his home and says, "this Is
where I live," he Is more probably
expressing the pride of knowing
that his house stands where only
bare earth stood before, that it is
a monument to his thrift, to his
Independence and to all the other
things that give him self-respect
In his community.
And when those same words are
spoken they express each indivi
dual's honest belief that the place
In which he chooses to live has an
importance far greater than the
mere value of its buildings.
Folks who live in a community
whether it be large or small, find
honest pride in the knowledge
that the world is just a little bet
ter off because that particular
place exists.

THE EVERYDAY LIFE
OF A PEOPLE
LESSON TEXT: Ruth V.9-VI.
MEMORY SELECTION: Intreat on
not lo leave thee, or to return from tol
lowing after thee; for whither thou goeat.
I will go: and where thou lodgeat, I
will lodge; thy people thall be my peo
ple, and thy God my God. Ruth 1:1.
A good life in the midst of cor
nipt and confused age such it th
life of Ruth In the awful chaos of
the time of the Judges. One Is re
minded of the poet's words:
"How far that Tittle eandle
throws its beams!
So shines a good deed in
naughty world."
It Is refreshing to have glimpse
Into the home life of God-fearing
people who live right In spite of the
low standards around them.
Ruth knew life's sorrows and It
bitter disappointments. She was a
widow, destitute of all, she held most
dear. Yet she, because of .the
sweet purity of her life and her de
votion to God and those she loved
became an example for others.
As we read our lesson we first
hear how logic speaks, then love re
plies, and finally a life says the
final word.
I. Logic vv. 8-13).
Tragic misfortune had visited
Naomi, who with her husband and
two sons had gone from Bethlehem
to Moab in a time of famine. Not
only had her husband died but also
her two sons, who had married
Gentile women, leaving three wid
ows in one family to mourn togeth
er. Naomi craved the fellowship of
her own people in her hour of trial,
and she arose to return' to her own
land.
Her departure brought out in th
two daughters in-law the expression
of kindness and loyalty whieb should
exist in every family, but which is
all too often I.m king. Her own testi
mony concern ii'g these girls of Moab
is that they d .It kindly with her and
with the ded. That word speaks
volumes. Tl.ere is so little genuine
kindness in the world.
Both Orpah and Ruth went with
her on the way. protesting their
loyal purpose to go with her all the
way.
Ninml met their kind offer with
the only sensible answer. There was
no point In leaving their homes
and loved ones and going; with her
to another country.
Logic is so conclusive and so final
Yes, and sometimes it reaches the
wrong conclusion. Love has gome-
thing to say about the matter.
Let us listen to its voice,
n. Love (v. 14).
Orpah loved her mother-ln-law.
That Is evident. She wept at the
thought of psrling. and was affec
tionate in her final farewell. We
must not be too quick to censure
her Sh did what Naomi told her
lo do. She resporded to her love
for home and ki: folk. She gave
up rr-liiotantjy, but she did give up
and turn bark.
How glad - we are that Ruth
shewed deeper love. "Orpah
i!isi-d her mother-ln-law, but Ruth
i-lave unto hur." There Is differ
ence Such love cannot be denied.
It is the most precious possession
that a man can have apart from
his fellowship with God. The love
of devoted father r mother, of a
noble helpmate, or xi a little boy
or girl, these are the things that
really make life' worth while. '
Life has put into the hands of
many of us the opportunity of show
ing just that kind of love In these
postwar days. A boy comes home
crippled and disabled and a loyal
sweetheart shows her undiminished
love for him, even though he can
never again be what he bad expect
ed to be.' That is love. A mother
and a father take to their hearts a
promising young son who returns
from overseas with a shattered
nervous system, and give their lives
anew to him. One could go on
and on with such illustrations, but
what we are saying Is that It takes
more than a kiss and some tears to
express real love. "Ruth clave unto
her." Such love expresses itself In a
111 Ufa w. 18-17).
Literature knows no more beauti
ful declaration of faith and devotion
than these words, and nothing could
improve on It Lord Tennyson said
nf the book of Ruth that "no art
can improve on it" And of these
verses another laid, "We cannot
hnna to contribute to literature a
sentence so exqultiite and thrilling as
that into which Ruin pourea xne
full measure nf a noble heart, but
we can Imitate her devotion" iwn
II m Jpnnlnus Bryan).' '
The conclusion of the story finds
Ruth murricd to lu.uz. her kinsman-
redeemer, and "llvipg happily ever
flpr Tia a 'rue romance auuuiu
end. God eivit happy endings.
Here we lind the right attitude
toward n iiriiHKe, something whicn
nppris !t ! 'n: hi in our day. Above
all. as t i. i. cinboi that Ruth was
an ancc slres of Jesus, we set anew
the lmpoitai.ee of clean, noble, god
ly living. Wil.i win uie generations
to come be able to aay about our
live? ' '
