The Most Beautiful Love Story in the Bible
By DR.. S. N. Deinard.


To discuss love story in connec-
ton with our Bible may sound al
most like sacrilege Love stories are
not supposed to be topics for relig-
ious discussion, any way. And yet
we are becoming accustomed to
treating the Bible as literature, and
literature is the mirror of life, and
love is one Of the most important
elements of human life. The Bible,
as literature, therefore, has many
love stories in its pages, and they
constitute great deal Of it's charm.
And the most beautiful of them all
is the story of Ruth.
1t is love story the principal part
of which has an idyllic setting: fields
waving with ripening grain, peopled
with men and women engaged in
reaping, cleaning and binding and
piling up of sheaves. It is the latter
part of the spring in Palestine, when
the clear sky above and the carpeted
earth beneath smile radiantly at
man.
But the beginning of the story is
a tragic one. 1t tells of famine in
the land of Judah, the migration of
an Israelitish family from it's home
in Bethlehem to the neighboring for
eign land of Noah. the subsequent
death there of the three male mem
bers of the family, the father and the
two married sons. 1t is after that
that the love element of the story be-
gins. The widowed mother, Naomi,
hearing that her own country is
again blessed with prosperity and
plenty, decides to return there
She expects her two young daugh-
ters-in-law who were Moabitish
women, whom her sons had married
during their brief sojourn there, to
remain in their own country. Why
should they accompany childless
old widow, and cast their lot with
her in a land where they would be
total strangers, without help or pro-
lection? Sad is the fate of a stranger
in strange land. 1t was especially
SO in olden times, where peoples
sympathies were narrowed to their
own kin, their own tribe. One
daughter-in-law, however, will not
stay behind. So strong is her affec-
ton for and her attachment to the
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-12-08

widowed mother, that she prefers to
torsake her own home, her own kim
dred, and her own country, and go
with her, to brave whatever hard
ships she may have to encounter, to
face the future however dark it may
be. How strong her love is, how
deep her loyalty that springs from
it, is best expressed in her own ten
der and pathetic words. "Entreat
me not to leave thee, and to turn
back from thee, for whithersoever
thou goest | will go, and whereso-
ever thou abidest | will abide; thy
people shall be my people, and thy
God my God. Wherever thou diest
| shall die and be Buried and only
death shall separate us one from the
other"
These are indeed touching words,
and express the highest degree of
faithful love. The attachment that
can be severed only by death is the
strongest imaginable, and such at
tachment and devotion can be fed
only by an inexhaustible fountain of
true love-
Some may question whether such
love, be it ever SO true and strong,
between two women, between moth
er and daughter-in-law is sufficient
ly exciting, romantic and absorbing
theme for love story. The plot of
love stories is generally constructed
around the love of the opposite sexes.
This has been the universal practice
in literature Love between the OBJ
posite sexes is the most passionate
type of love, the most elemental,
hence the strangest, the most impet-
uous, irresistible and all-conquering,
even as the old Hebrew singer ex-
claims: "Fierce as death is love, it's
heat is the heat of fire, a flame of
God" But while sexual love is the
most passionate and most tempestu-
Gus and therefore furnishes the plot
of those absorbing and exciting stor-
les that romantic young people like
to read, it is not the purest or high
est type of love.
No one will deny that the highest
and purest type of love is that of a
mother for her child. 1t is the most
disinterested, self-sacrifcing and
most enduring. That should serve
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-12-08

as standard to Judge the quality
and to measure the degree of all
love. Measured by this standard
we shall find that the love of Ruth
for Naomi is of nobler and more re-
fined type than the love that COM
monty forms the theme of romance
For the love between the opposite
sexes is neither as disinterested nor
as enduring, as a rule, as was the
love, loyalty and attachment between
these two women. Ruth's love is of
the same type and character as that
of a mother for her child. 1t is the
love for which no sacrifice is too
great, and which endures as long as
life lasts
All true love meets with it's re-
ward in the end. The case of Ruth
was no exception. While trying to
support herself and her mother-in-
law by her gleanings in the field dur
ing harvest, she meets with a kins-
man Of her deceased husband, man
prominent in his community, and &C
cording to the old Israelitish custom,
he, as the nearest Of kin, must act as
her "goel' or redeemer. He very
cheerfully marries her, having heard
of her exemplary character and con-
duct. And now comes the climax of
the story. From the male offspring
of that marriage, after two genera
tons, is descended the greatest hero
king of ancient Israel, the ancestor
of long line of Kings, King David.
Ruth the Moabitish woman becomes
the ancestress of David and his
royal house. And here we see the
real purpose the writer of the story
had in mind
The authors of our Biblical litera-
ture were not mere story-tellers or
even historians. They were not con-
scious artists, but rather conscious
moralists and preachers. The object
of the writer of this love story was
to show that Ruth, the gentle wom-
an, woman of the people of Moab
with whom the Israelites had had
many wars, being mortal enemies
most of the time, was deemed wor-
thy by God to become the ancestress
of David and his glorious house,
and since according to tradition the
Messiah, the great future ruler, was
to be lineal descendant of David,
ancestress of the Messiah himself.
That is the lesson the author seeks
to convey by his story.
But what was his reason or mo-
tive for seeking to imDart such les

THE REAL RILEY.

County Commissioner Riley, who
was elected, pledged to sound busl-
ness methods, and in protest to the
loose management of the county's al
fairs, has entered the old combina-
ton. He has become the plant tool
of those forces whose extravaganza
and mismanagement Of the affairs of
Burleigh. county are piling up addi-
tional taxes. Mr.. Riley has forgot
ten entirely his campaign promises
and like so many who enter political
careers with the best of intentions,
lose them when they feel the warmth
and cheer of the pie counter.
. Fortunately the voters of his dis
trict will have an opportunity to re-
Duke him at the polls next Novem-
Der. 1t is unusual for Democrat to
win out in that district. The occa-
sion of his victory was the protest
against the alliance made by his Re-
publican opponent.
Riley has disappointed his support
ers. He has been cipher on the
board and the people of his district
fortunately have found it out.

DOUBLE CONTEMPT OF COURT
Disguised With Court and VIII
ling to Pay fors,l

The following anecdote is told OF
Gen. Gilman MarSton, once famous
New Hampshire lawyer:
General .Marston was attending
court at small country town when a
young attorney made motion that
was denied by the court. The young
man demonstrated against what he
thought was the wrong ruling of the
Judge. So vehemently did he do so
that he was fined $40 for contempt Of
court An older attorney took the
matter up, and he was fined a similar
sum. Still another. who thought he
stood a little better with the Judge,
endeavored to straighten the matter
out, but he, too, enriched the Golfers
Of the state by paying ''ten.spot' for
contempt.
General Marston was then seen to
rise in his seat and advance to the
clerks desk. Taking his long pocket.
book from his pocket, he took cut
two $40 bills and laid them on the
desk.
What is that for?" said the judge.

just twice as much contempt for this
court as any man here, and am pay:

COMM ERclAL BAROMETER.

Statements issued Yesterday ny
two of the local banks indicate the
rapid increase in the volume of bust
ness and reflect the financial import
ance Of Bismarck. One institution
reports deposits in excess of two mll-
lion. The combined deposits of the
other two banks will probably reach
three.quarters Of a million, making
the total money on deposit in local
banks approximately three million.
This is record the city can be
proud OF. 1t shows that business is
active and indicates healthy tone
in our financial affairs. ..
There is every REASON for gratifica-
ton at the showing of the various
financial institutions in the first
statement published this year, based
on the close of business, December
81, 1916.
IA prosperous year is in store for
Bismarck. There is every indication
that it will be an active one from a
building standpoint. Structures now
under consideration have an estimat-
ed cost of 100000. More than 1Ov
new homes were erected last year
and the prospects are bright for even
greater activity this year.
The community spirit was never
better. Evidences of growth are so
convincing of a greater future that
1t behooves everyone to forget fac.
ti0nalism and promote the best COM
mercial interests of the city.
All effort should be made to sup
port the Commercial cluo. Destruc5-
i've criticism is the pastime of fools
and laggards. Get behind this organ

ing factor in the promotion Of the

PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.


As the time draws near for the
first tests at the presidential prima'
ries, the situation is still chaotic.
The favoritc sons have been passing
in dress parade for some time, but
none of them seem to have started
band wagon movement. Sentiment
has failed as yet to crystalize around
any of the various ayOwed candi-
dates. Like Micawber, the political
leaders arc waiting for something to
turn up.
There is no occasion for alarm
over the situation. 1t is perfectly
natural, for with the exception of
Root or Hughes, no candidate men.
toned has stirred the popular mag.
nation. Hughes and Root are not
seeking the office, while the favoritc
sons are. That may explain why the
voters are leaning to them more
strongly than TO the untried, and i'll
many cases slightly known candi'
dates who come under the fayorite
son classification.
The next few weeks should result
in a concerted action on the part
of Republican leaders to sound SEN
timent carefully throughout the ma
ton. Under the presidential primary
system. it is going to be impossible
to register the popular choice. With
so many purely sectional candidates
in the field asking for a compliment
airy vote from their home state, it
is unlikely whether the primaries will
influence the conventions choice to
very marked degree.
In this state little attempt has been
made to feel out public sentiment
The choice lies between Hughes,
Root and Cummins. La Toilette still
has admirers, but the bulk of his sup
porters are split between Hughes and
Cummins. They backed Fighting Bob
once and are now looking for win.
ner. e....... u.
Nearly score of men have been
mentioned as possible presidential
candidates. Seldom in the history of
the Republican party have there been
so many aspirants. OF course, the
primary law always tends to multiply
candidates. 1t is having it's usual
effect upon the presidential situation
Fortunately the national convention
has the last word and it will voice
more fairly the popular choice than
any of the various presidential prim-
airy laws can.

TAFT FOR BENCH.

President Wilson is being urged by
many to appoint ex-President Taft on
the supreme bench, to succeed the
late Justice Lamar. No appointment
would meet with more widespread ap.
proval. AS a jurist. Taft first came
into public prominence.
In 1903, when Frederick N. Jldson
published his treatise on the inter.
state commerce law, he dedicated it
"to Honorable William Howard Taft,
L. l.. u. sometime Judge of the Cir
cult Court of the United States,
whose name is written large ON the
pages of the judicial history of inter
state commerce"
Taft is familiar with the admins.
tration of law in it's various aspects.
Probably no man is better equipped
to sit OH the bench than the former
president. His is a judicial mind and
temperament. When in politics he
refused to be swayed by the hysteria
of the crowd and he has always been
ready to expose the shams, fads and
isms of politics, even when his action
meant the loss of votes and for the
time a. least the plaudits IF the null,
titude.
Since resigning from the bench he
has served as governor general of
the philippines, secretary of war and
President of the United States. Elk
perience gained in these high offices
has served to increase his usefulness
to the nation.
