! sionary Society Of the Episcopal Church

| The Model Mother-in-Law.
A congregation that crowded Park-Place
! Methodist church assembled Sunday night
to hear the fifth of Rev. j. Wiley BledsOe's
series of sermons on tae Women of the BIZ
bic. His subject was Naomi, the model
mOtner-ln-law.
Every station in life. said the speaker,
has Its peculiar difficulties trials, and re-
sponsibilties. This IS especially the case
in all the relationships of family and home.
The position Of the mOther-ln-law IN the
family and home is one having peculiar fea-
lures of interest and importance. She finds
il necessary to surrender the authority she
once exercised TO the hands of others. A
desire to control IN all matters pertaining
TO the household possesses the mind OF
son and daughter. Mutual concessions and
a spirit of fOrbearance and love are neces-
sary on the part of all that happiness may
reign supreme.
NAOMI TIE MODEL.
! The life and history of Naomi as reciteC
by the speaker warranted the conclusion
that she was model mother-in-law. LIVING
ten years IN the land of Moab with Orpai
and Ruth, the wives of her sons, who II
the mean time became widows, she so woI
their confidence and affection that they
were unwilling to be separated from hel
when she determined to return TO the land
of Judah from whence she had beer
driven by famine, her husband and SOM
now dead. These daughters-in-law were
determined to 90 with her. They went
with her. perhaps to the bank:
of the Dead Sea, when she en-
. treated them TO 20 back TO their kin
dred, home, and friends. Orpah yielded
, to the loving entTeaty and kissed hel
mother-in-law good-oy, but Ruth cleave(
unto her. No eloquence of tongue or per
has surpassed in beauty and tenderness
the reply of Ruth. Naomi had impressed
or enstamped her character on her. Sh'
determined to make the God OF hel
, mother-in-law her God, to journey will
her, and share her fortune whatever i
might be till death should part them
Thus 20 have won the undying affection o
her daughter-in-law Naomi was mode
mother-in-law.
THE LESSON.
The great lesson of the evening, said thu
speaker, was to cultivate the flower of low,
and let it bloom in perpetual sweetness
and beauty in the midst of the conserya
tory Of home. Every duty Of family anC
home should be performed under the in
, spiration Of love. Then IL Is Joy and de
light.
