 Rev. A. H. aoodeough, pastor of the East Pearl street M. B. church, preached asermon last evening from the second chapter of Ruth, verses and g. His subject was "A Mans Love, and the sermon was continue ation Of the one delivered the previous Sun day evening entitled IA Woman's Pledge" In the first sermon MF Goodenough dwelt upon the character of Ruth and the nobleness of heart in deserting her native land of Moab to follow her mother-in-law, Naomi, to her old home in Judah. The sermon last night followed the subsequent career of Ruth and
 her marriage to Boaz, who was wealthy,
 distant relative of Naomi
 In his discourse last evening MT: Good
 enough said that he considered the book of
 Ruth most interesting one. He was of the
 opinion that the book has net received all
 the attention that it deserves. "We should
 treat everyone with kindness" said Mr. Goodenough in eulogizing on his text, 'al- though we need not make companion of everyone. It would be foolish. We are helped or hindered a great deal by those who come near us." In speaking of Nsomi's return to
 her native land from Moab whither she had gone with her husband Elimeleek, because there was famine in Judah, the speaker said that many might have been disposed to say that the i'll fortune that befell Naomi in the A0oS husband and her two sons, who had married the women of the country. was judgment upon her for leaving the land of her birth to go into heathen country. The preacher did not believe it was judgment. He said that there are good many people who delight to call this. or that thing that befalls someone else 8 judgment. "f believed in judgments should be tempted to believe in judgment on those people who are always finding judgments on somebody else." said the pastor. ssIt is easy enough to find fault, but two seconds with the fault finders is worse than the toothache."
 Then the preacher dilated upon the incl dents surrounding Naomi's return to Judah and her vastly altered circumstances. He I considered Ruth's meeting with Boaz and her alliance to that pious and prosperous man providence of God. He believed in ! said, land never think of God. but God will have hand in shaping Ttheir lives" He pointed to a number of things constantly ! occurring in every human life as proyidences | of God: Why do all these things happena' he asked. We do noC know the why" In | some cases time may tell, in others eterHity. 'There is 6 destiny that shapes our end, Rough hew them as we may@
 ! Then the preacher referred to Naomi's con | dition. There was nothing to eat at home, and Ruth had to go out to get bread. Under the old Hebrew law the stranger and the widow were entitled to whatever they could find in the fields after the reapers had fin. \ ished their work, and it was to the field oi Roaz that Ruth directed her footsteps to \ glean what she could in the wake of the reap ' CTS.
 In one of the passages of his discourse Mfr Goodenough referred to the industry ot Boaz ' and made the reference the vehicle of im- pressing upon his hearers the necessity of in- dustry, and told story of 8 young man who was vastly inclined to laziness. He had lit. tie disposition to do any work, and one day told friend that he was waiting for sofl thing before he went to work. The friend advised the youth that he would be apt tc ! find what he was looking for in his hat. \ Toward the latter part of his discourse MT. Goodenough told of the happy marriage ot Ruth to Boaz and their posterity.
 ' MT. Goodenough's sermons are almost al ways on topics that will interest the people and his method of handling his subjects is [ most entertaining one.
