BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES +. FREEMAN, DID,, LID, DEL,
Bishop Of WdshinKton

"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee, for
whittier thou goest, will 60; and
where thou lodgest, will lodge: thy
people shall be my people, and thy God
my God"
Inserted between two historical books
of the Old Testament Is the brief, but
beautiful story Of Ruth. The historical
narratives deal with plot, counterplot,
while the story Of Ruth Is one Of those
simple annals Of the poor that deals
with the homeuest and sweetest Incl
dents Of life.
Primarily, it is q story that has to
do with the sacrednesS and influence
of friendship. There had been famine
In the land, and we read that "a Ger
tain man of Bethlehem went to Sojourn
in the country Of Moab" He took with
him his wife, Naomi, and his two sons,
who subsequently married Moabitish
women. During their sojourn In the
new land and among strange people,
q tragic aff1iction came to the house.
hold, and the father and two sons died.
It was in this crisis that Naomi, the
widow and mother, sought to return to
her own land and people. As the
daughters -in-law were Moabites, she
reasoned that they must remain among
their own people and kindred. One Of
them, Orpah. followed her counsel. but
1t was reserved for Ruth to make the
declaration: "Entreat me not to leave
thee, for whittier thou goest. will 60:
and where thou lodgest, will lodge;
thy people shall be my people, and thy
God nv God"
The narrative that follows Is Alto
gether unique in the literature Of the
Bible, dealing as 1t does with the SIM
pier and commoner things Of every
day life. The devotion of Ruth to the
elder woman is a noble example of SELF
sacrificing friendship. It was the sort
of friendship that bears with and stands
the strain of adversity. Ruth not only
bore with devotion her fidelity to the
stricken woman. but she became the
bread-winner Of the little household.
and the expression Of her devotion, IS
contained In the words Of the text, has
come to be regarded as one of the
noblest and finest in the worlds utera-
ture.
Next to kinship, friendship is one Of
lifes most sacred ties. What true
friendship has done in enriching life.
no pen can adequately set forth. We
recall that, when some one asked Charles
Kingsley, What do you regard as the
secret Of your life?" he responded

OF living men of science, he has had
the advantage of long years of expert

derive from vast knowledge of the his

He thinks of man as being a rela-
lively recent phenomenon of nature.

torically demonstrated to have begun
but yesterday.
Man. he believes, originally was "an
immoral savage" but "out Of prehis-
toric savagery. on the basis Of hh own
experience. he rose to the vision Of
character" Referring to the marvellous
growth of spiritual power, he continues:
That achievement, which transformed
advancing life, human and animal on
our globe was from characterless uni.
verse, as far as is known to us. to q
world OF inner values tranScending mat
ter, q world for the first time aware Of
such values. conscious OF character
striving to attain it.
"The most urgent present need Of
America at this critical juncture." he
concludes, Is more character" But
such requirement is no novelty. On
the contrary, the demand Is chronic.
Every age since human annals first were
preserved has had the same problem. And
invariably q solution has been forth
coming. The spirit of man has ex-
panded and there never was a more
general characterization Of righteous
ness and nobility in the world than
there is today. Granted that there are
successive crime waves to disturb the
public order. depressions to lower the
standards Of life and wars to retard
civilization, 1t nevertheless remains true
that the majority Of the inhabitants Of
the planet are decent and honorable
people. earnestly endeavoring to abide
by social law and practice civil peace.
DR.. Breasted declares, This thing
called man Is the most wonderful crea-
ton in the universe" No misfortune.
no disaster ever has been able to keep
him down. He merits confidence. de-.
serves to be trusted Pessimism about
his future is unjustified. He Is march,

merely to prompt him to new effort.

DR.. Morgan's Award.

The 1888 Nobel prize for medicine
has been awarded to an already dis
tinguished American-Dr. Thomas Hunt
Morgan, zoologist. Of Pasadena, Calf
His countrymen Will find pleasure in
congratulating him In this recognition
OF his labors in his chosen field of
human genetics. That he has earned
the honor will be conceded by the pro-
fessional as well as the lay public.
It Is more than forty years since DR..
Morgan began his work in biological re-
search. He was Kentucky boy who,
by way of Johns Hopkins University,
had come to teach at Bryn Mawr Col
lege. Deep in the confusion beyond
the microscope, he knew, there must
be answers to many of the scientific
problems Of the age. To go in quest of
them was a natural impulse in an in
quiring mind. But the search was
tedious, and q less ardent spirit easily
might have been discouraged by the
sheer toll Of it all. 1t was his good
fortune, however, to be constructed Of
sterner stuff. and eventually he had
his victories. He blazed the path to-
ward the discovery Of the curious
chromosomes and genes which now are
regarded as keys to something very
close to the secret OF life itself" and
are understood to have q determining
significance in the construction of hu-
man character For these finds he has
been admitted to membership in the
small company Of authentic discoverers
who have enriched the worlds fund OF
practical knowledge. The Nobel award
is confirmation of his status in that re-
gard. It Is q crown for a good and
useful career and Dr. Mcrgan's coun-
trymen are proud of him.
The occasion prompts reconsideration
Of the efficiency Of such foundations as
that which Alfred Nobel established.
There has been criticism of some of the
prizes in literature granted from the
fund, and it has been said that they
have been forthcoming too late to be
Of service to the recipients. But in the
present instance that objection cannot
be made. DR.. Morgan is only sixty
seven years Of age and should be able
to carry on for at least another decade.
His mind, it would seem, should be free
from concern about personal finances.
and he should be enfranchised for con-
centration on his work during the re-
mainder of his life, long or short as it
may be. Perhaps that was Nobels
thought-to make possible sunset con-
quests, to stimulate men toward glorious
final triumphs.

hts career, when I attended Eton

saved from worse things by getting to

Instance after instance might be
cited from the records Of great men
and women to illustrate the tremendous
power that friendship has exercised in
inspiring genius, compelling service and
lifting men and women to such high
levels of devotion that even martyrdom
itself could not stay their zeal. Vow
camest thou to smell so sweetly?" asked
the Persian poet of clod OF clay. The
