Sunday School Lesson

lage in a search for the grains left by
the reaperS.
Boaz, whose name implies strength.
may have been one of the Judges of
Israel. He recognized the obligation
placed upon him by his position to aid
the needy and his responsibility for
the stranger at his gate. He observ
ed the modest, Industrious stranger
whom he had never seen cleaning
there before. Upon inquiry he heard
that she was Ruth. the daughter of
Naomi He ordered. with tact and
delicacy, the reapers to drop portions
of the grain in her way so as to pre-
serve her Independence. He provided
for her being protected and refreshed
like one of his servants. If we would
observe similar attitude to the emil
grants and strangers from abroad
and the country who are filling our
cities we would help Americanize the
foreigner and save many modern
Ruths from a life of shame.
Naomi recognized the possibilities
that the humanitarian interest of
BoaZ opened for Ruth. 1t was she
who sent her forth at night TO the
threshing floor to claim her rights.
While strange to us. yet what she
did was in accordance with the Gus
tom of her day and the law. Boaz
recognized the claim of Ruth to his
protection as next of kin. He saw
to it that no breath of evil speaking
could arise against her request that
was in accordance with an oriental
courtship. We must judge Ruth's
actions by the standard of her age,
not that of our time. BoaZ quickly
secured her for his own by securing
from the one who was next of kin to
her husband the symbolical transfer
ence of the right of kinsmanship by
the drawing off the sandal in the
public square.
Our study gives us the first record
of a solemn nuptial beneiiction and
the first direct allusion to the ancient
patriarchal tradition Of Rachel and
Leah. of Judah and Tama. No Moab
ite was allowed to enter the congre
cation of Israel. The very license
and independence of the age when
every man did that which was right
in his own eyes" may have been the
means of introducing into 'he ances
try of our Lord g Gentle element
that would otherwise. humanity
speaking. have been impossible. Judah's
isolation from the rest of Israel may
explain the actions of Boaz, who over
looked the requirements of the law
by marrying Ruth. This made possi-
BILE through the birth of their son
Obed, the grandfather of David. not
only that the Gentiles had part in
the ancestry of Christ, who came to
save sinners, but through their per-
Sonal faith all might have part in
the salvation that He brought to all
men who will accept Him as their Lord
and Savior.

This action follows and accepts a
similar decree of the patriarChate OF
Constantinople. which was made pub
lie at the Episcopal general conven-
tion in Portland. Ore, last September.
Statement of Chief Secretary.
Confirming the news Ephiphanios,
chief secretary to Damianos. SAYS:
we inform your grace that the
holy synod. having as motive the
resolution passed some time ago by
the church of ConStantinople, which
IS the church having the first throne
between the orthodox churches. after
examining this question under our
presidency from all its aspects. re-
solved that the consecrations of bish-
ops and ordinations of priests and
deacous of the Anglican Episcopal
Church are considered by the ortho-
doX church as having the same va =
lidity which the orders of the Ro-
man Church have. because there exist
all the elements which are conSlG-
cred necessary from an orthodox
point of view for the recognition OF
L /, Low
tolic succession. We nave great
pleasure in communicating to your
grace as the first hierarch of all the
Anglican churches this resolution OF
our church. which constitutes prog
ress in the pleasing to Gods work or
the union of all churches.

hardt a representative of the EpiS-
copal National Council. who officially
carried the Constantinople decree to
the Archbishop of Canterbury and
later to the Episcopal general con-
vention last year, explaining the i'm

arch of Jerusalem, which was made
March IL. 1928. draws its strength
oldest see in Christend"m recognizes
and confirms the former decision by
the primacial throne Of Constanti-
NOBLE Usually a decree Of such mo-
montous importance should be pro-
mulgated bv an ecumeniCal council.
Such a council had been planned. The
debacle in the former Turkish empire
rendered this impossible. 1t is there
fore necessary to receive conhrma,
ton from the heads of the several
autonomous orthodox churches.
Administrative Point of View.
The Episcopal Church views this
proclamation largely from an admin
i.trativc point of view. Ultimately 1t
viii assume q position of great i'm
rnrtanc. in the program Of Christian
unity. For the time being it is
treasured by the Episcopal Church as
