The Homecoming
BY Col. w. L. CLAYTON

.'Entreat me not to leave thee;
Or to return from following after thee;
For whittier thou goest, | will go;
And where thou lodgest, | will lodge;
Thy people shall be my people;
And thy God, my God;
Where thou diest will die,
And there will | be buried;
The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If aught but death part thee and me-"
My readers will all readily rec
ognize where this beautiful eX-
tract comes from, but you will
notice [ have put it in the poetic
form, because | think it's a part
of a most wonderful prose poem.
an Idylic of the olden time. When
[ wish to read the most charming
story of the ages, / turn to the.
Book of Ruth. It's so true to
life in every age and all the
ages. But listen. Many years
ago, and again this year, | have
read a statement that indicates
that wise statesmen and learned
literati, with all their knowledge
of other things, may be wholly
Ignorant of the wonderful Book
of God. 1t is stated that while
Benjamin Franklin was living in
Paris as our minister to France,
he was present at a great assem-
blage of distinguished literary
characters one evening. He was
asked to contribute something in
a literary way for the entertain
ment and enjoyment of the COM
pany. Drawing from his pocket
a roll of manuscript, he said he
had seen and copied from a very
old book a beautiful story which
had interested him very much
and which he would like to read
if they were willing to hear it.
He then read the simple story of
Ruth. The distinguished literary
company, none of whom were
familiar with the story, were
wonderfully pleased, and declar-
ed it the finest pastoral they had
ever heard, and they were
charmed with it and anxious to
learn where he had found it.
With a quizzical look over the
learned company, Franklin said:
Il found this composition in a
very old book, called the Biae.'
They we're astonished beyond
measure that a book SO despised
should contain such excellent lit
e%rature.
Human nature is the same
through all the ages. When
Naomi had lost her husband and
her sons in a foreign land and
was left alone with her two
daughters-in-law. Orpah and
Ruth, there came over her an
intense longing for the Home
coming. Once and awhile you
see in the papers the announce
ment that a certain day will be
Homecoming Day for a certain
state or some part of a state,
wherein all those who once lived
in that territory and had moved
from it, were urged to return
and have a joyful reunion. And
ah, how many hearts IRE made
glad at such homecoming-and
oh, how many other hearts are
made sad from the thought that
their loved ones who went out
can never come any more. But
when those who, like Naomi.
have gone far from the old home
and have lost their loved ones,
there is no need for an appointed
day for the homecoming, but the
heart yearns for the scenes OF
our childhood "as the hart pant
eth after the water brooks" And
for a time we sometimes forget
that every heart is not affected
like our own. Thus it seems
was the mind of Naomi at the
The Tupelo journal., 1915-02-12

Naomi's life and the influence
she had over her daughters-in-
law, and especially over Ruth,
the thought forces itself upon
my mind that, under many diff
culties, she must have lived a
very consecrated life. Ruth
must have seen in her something
more than a loving mother. She
must have seen a spark of the
Divine encircling her brow and
heard the Divine speaking
through her voice.
Naomi had nothing to give and
nothing to promise. Ruth must
have gone to judah with no hope
or thought of anything but toll
and privation. The joy that af-
terward came to her life is a
thing she could not have had in
contemplation and which many
would call an accident of life.
Many years after Ruth made
her choice and pronounced the
immortal words set at the head
Of this article, a man, and he
also a stranger, who was follow
ing David as he fled from Absa-
lon, when requested by the king
to go back, indicated by his an
swer that he had seen these
wonderful words of Ruth. Said
Ittai the Gittite, las the Lord
liveth and as my lord, the king,
liveth, surely in what place my
lord, the king, shall be, whether
in death or life, even there also
will thy servant be-"
But the circumstances were
entirely diff erent. Ittai, while
following a king who was for
the time being in disgrace and
defeat, and his capital in the
hands of his son, yet he knew
his history and his power, and
had every hope and expectation
that he would come to his own
again, and be able to reward
him for his fidelity; while the
loving Ruth had no thought of
anything but her love for Naomi,
Joined to toll and hard living in
a strange land, but coupled, |
have no doubt, with the hope set
before her by Naomi's teaching
and christian example. lttai
doubtless hoped for that which
he soon obtained, a generals
commission in David's army:
Ruth chung to a loving and well
beloved mother who had no gifts
to bestoW.
Turning back again to this
most interesting little book of
Ruth, | call your special atten-
ton to its beauty and its charm.
1t is 'multum in parvo," much
in a small compass. When you
read it, you think of the beauti-
full domestic life, with lis lights
and shadows, the grain fields
and the focks and herds. but
never of wars and bloody con
ficts. The style is so simple,
you would say a child might have
written it: and vet, when you
look again and more carefully,
you find that it is SO true to ma
ture and so persistently true to
every detail of its subject. that
no hand but that of a master
pen painter could have written
it. 1t shows the hand of a mas
ter in literature. Who will be
the first of my reader, to read,
or re-read, the book again? And
who will be the first to resolve
to be as true to his country and
to his God as Ruth was to Naomi?
Do you know there is a looseness
and a slackness in the hearts and
minds of many towards the OBJ
servance of law, both human and
divine, which argues a want of
the uprightness and integrity

LAW CHIEFS DIFFER
ON RESERVATIONS
Army and Navy Authorities at
Odds on Right to Quit Ser
vice at viii.

Washington, June 28.-Interest m
the problem created by efforts Of PR
vate manufacturers TO employ expert
ordnance officers Of the army for their
war munitions plants was intensified
to-day when it was disclosed that the
highest legal authorities of the army
and navy hold directly opposite views
on the question which Secretary Garri-
son has referred to Attorney General
Gregory for decision-whether an OIL
Ger can resign his commission at VIII
in time Of peace.
General Crowder. Judge Advocate
General of the army, holds that the
Secretary of War must accept resig-
nation when proifered. Captain Ridley
Mclean, Judge Advocate General OF the
navy, rules that the Secretary of the
Navy may accept or reject designations
as he sees mt.
Acting on Captain McLean's advice,
Secretary Daniels has been using his
discretion, and in some instances has
declined to permit officers to quit the
service. Secretary Garrison said he had
not determined what he would do If
the Attorney General found he had the
power to reject designations.

EXCHANGE incorporation
Proposed Amendment Opposed
by Merchants Association.

The Merchants Association is oppos'
ing the proposal now pending before
the Constitutional Convention provid-
ing for the incorporation OF the Stock
Exchange. Reasons for opposition are
set forth in letter sent yesterday by
President William Fellowes Morgan, in
accordance with action taken by the
board of directors, to Jacob Bremen,
chairman Of the conventions commit
tee on corporations.
Admitting that the intent OF the Deyo
amendment is to prevent improper
transactions, the association asserts
that it would be impossible to frame
such a measure so that il would apply
to only immoral and harmful practice:
without causing serious obstruction "
legitimate business. In regard TO the
proposed amendment other objections
raised are that:
at will further impose upon stock
transactions in this state conditions
which may fundamentally differ from
those that prevail in other great fnan-
cial centres of the world, thereby In.
posing formidable obstacles TO trans
actions between this market and those
of other sections by reason Of the DIFF
ferences in rules and practices so made
neces sary."

PRISON FRICTION
AGAIN DENIED
Sing Sing Official Says Convicts
Never Open Official Mail, as
Charged at Albany.

Reiterating his denial Of friction be-
tween Warden Thomas Mott Osborne
Of Sing Sing prison, and Superinten-
dent of Prisons Riley, Deputy Warden
Charles Johnson last night said at
Sing Sing that the Albany charges that
Riley believes Sing Sing officials per-
nit TRUSTEES" to open official mail
were without foundation, as he per-
sonally opened all such mail
Reports Of dssension between the
officials were revived yesterday, when
il was learned that a special messen-
ger had been sent from Albany with a
notice ordering seventy-four prisoners
transferred to-day from Sing Sing to
the Great Meadows prison, az Com
stock.
Johnson admitted the messenger had
been sent on Sunday, but said il was
only because there was no mail on that
day, and the prisoners had 10 be trans
ferred to-day. IL is customary to give
the Warden twcnty-four hours notice
of draft Of prisoners.
"There can be nothing to the rumors
Of trouble over TRUSTEES opening official
mail" said Johnson, particularly mail
containing transfer orders. The 'trus-
ties never see such mail. The only let
tiers they handle are those sent to pris-
oners or from prisoners. open all off,
cial mail"
In Albany it was said that serious
break between the prison officials was
imminent, due to the fact that "trus-
ties" learning of transfers would no
tify the prisoners who were to be
shifted and the prisoners would imme-
diately go on the sick list
