THE STORY.

DY DiNT Of coaxing and petting Or
ID pha's friends had at last persuaded
her to accompany them TO the festiv-
tiles in the village close at hand.
where for weeks the preparations had
been going en- for the hanoring OF the
gods of the Moabites. and she was
busy getting ready for the start in
the early morning II seemed strange
to them to have to coax OTpha to 20.
for in former years she had been one
of the gayest at such celebrations. and
they had expected. now that the in
fiuence Of her mOther-inlaw. Naomi.
was no longer present. that she would
enter again heartily into the life and
customs Of her people.
On her return to her old home. after
the departure of Ruth and Naomi her
parents and friends had welcomed her
right royalty. secretly rejoicing that
she was no longer TO be dominated BY
the lsTaelitish woman who had come
into their midst years before and who
had firmly and steadfastly refused TO
share in their idolatrous feasts and
practices. and the feelings OF jealousy
and resentment which we're felt at
the time Of her marriage to the prom

once more one OF them
But TO orpha something in the old
life was lacking She could not ex-
plain why. She did not understand.
except that in the old home and with
the old friends there vas something
lacking. and a sense of disappointment
came TO her. She tried to FORGET il.
and enter into the activities of the
home circle and friends with the old
time pleasure and vivacity, but she
could not forget the quiet, helpful. up
lifting influence of Naomi Uncon-
sciously she was constantly drawing
comparisons between the life she had
known after becoming the wife Of Chill
ion. and the life her people lived
When the time drew near for the fes-
tivities attending the worship OF their
gods she had felt the old thrill Of ex-
pectant pleasure which she used to
know as she had planned and prepared
TO share in the celebrations. But
this feeling soon passed a left her
