! AN ANCIENT ROMANCE.
The Story Of Ruth and Boax and True
Human Kindness.

The Story Of Ruth and Boax and True
Human Kindness.
The book OF Ruth ~ the greatest pas
toral idyl In literature 1t is founded.
according to the Christian Herald, on
loving kindness. the loving kindness Of
the Moabites revealed to her family
and the loving kindness Of Boaz, the
wealthy Israelite. to Ruth, his klns-
woman. II also contains the germ Of
that great heartedness which Is the
center Of the gospel Of Christian love.
It is q book that opens with tears
and famine and ends with the sound Of
wedding bells. The story turns upon
the straightforwardness OF Boaz, who
showed kindness and manllness to
Ruth, member Of nation that was
lsraers foe. and in that kindness found
ed new house. the house OF Jesse and
David. the royal line that begat a
greater than David.
Boaz Is immortal among Bible heroes
for bis kindness, his plain. everyday
generosity. his sense OF protection and
care for the lonely, unprotected Moab
itish girl. his dead kinsman's wife.
who In her poverty CLEANED In bis har-
vest field after the reapers. Boaz gave
orders to his reapers that they should
allow her to CLEAN even among the
shepves Of barley and by his large
heartedness gained a wife and, more
than that. made place for himself In
that immortal company which 10 re-
nowned for naught but for being kind.
