Ruth: Adventurous Faith, Ruth,
1:6-18, for Sunday, Aug. q:
The book Of Ruth among other
things teaches us how great is the
reward cf human kindness. Naomi
and ner husband left Bethlehem be-
cause of a depression, going to
Moab where their two sons mar
ried. Later the three men died
leaving three widows who faced an
c.ner depression Naomi decides to
go back to her Bethlehem home.
VS.. 6, Z. "Then she arose with her
daughters-in-law, that they might
return from the country of Moab,
for she had heard in the country Of
Moab how that the Lord had visit
ed his people in giving them bread,
and her two daughters-in-law Went
with her on the way to return to the
land of JUDAH In the time of sor-
row there are no friends like home
friends, especially those of our own
kindred. The sympathy of suffer-
ing together bound these three wild
oWs so that they naturally travelled
together, -,
y. 8. "And Naomi said unto her
two daughters-in-law, CO. return
each to her mothers house; the
Lord deal kindly With you, as ye
have dealt with the dead and me-"
Naomi had a sympathetic faith in
these two Women and evidently felt
that her God could care for them IN
their homeland Kindness is a cord
of lie that does not break easily.
Y. 8. "The Lord grant that you
sNay find rest, each of you in the
house of her husband. Then she
kissed them; and they lifted up
their voice and wept.'' Naomi eX-
pressed her religion in the two fold
blessing (a) general blessing
that God will show them mercy and
a special blessing that they may find
rest and peace in a new. home.
v. 10, II. "And they said unto
her. Surely we will return with thee
unto thy people. And Naomi said,
Turn again my daughters; why will
We go with me?" II would mean a
great sacrifice for these foreign
women to live in judah and Naomi
loved them too much to ask that
they make their sacrifice. Then,
too, Naomis cup Of sorrow might
be greater if these two women had
gone with her only to be discomfort
ed and experience great homesick-
ness.
VS.. 12, 13. "Turn again, my
daughters, go your way for / am
too old to have a husband. If |
should say, have hope, If l should
have an husband also tonight, and
should also have sons; would ye
tarry for them till they were
grown The custom of widows
marrying husbands of their broth
ers was cut of the question. "For
il grieveth me much for your sakes
that the hand of the Lord is gone
against me- Naomi means that
her lot is even more lamentable
than theirs and they will be doing
themselves an injury by depending
upon her for their future.
" IA. "And they lifted up their

voice and wept again; and Orpha
| kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth
claved unto her." Most people will
go as far as Orpha. 1t is only the
genuine heroic that will go as FAR
as Ruth. A friend with the heart
Of Orpha will weep over your sor~
rows and losses, express great SYM
rathy, and be genuinely touched by
your grief; but there it ends. When
there is call for sacrifice, the Or
pha- minded, good as they are, SYM
pathetic, attractive and loving al
ways turn back to their own inter-
ests.

thy sister~in-law is gone back unto
her people and unto her gods; re-
turn thou after thy sister-in-law."
In taking the step to live in Gods
country as one of Gods children,
it is wise to count the cost.

Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee;
for whittier thou goest, l will go;
and where thou lodgest 1 will lodge;
thy people shall be my people and
thy God shall be my Cod Here
is the good confession that con-
sumates a religious victory. Ruth
said boodybe to her homeland and
to her gods. Orpha is never heard
Of again but Ruth's name becomes
immortal and many children have
been named in her honor Naomi's
influence and example made noble
character Of Ruth which determin-
ed her good decision and the re-
suits that followed.
v. IS. "And when she saw that
she was steadfastly minded to go
with her, then she left speaking to
her." Ruth's later experience show
ed that it is always wise to trust
the Lcrd for the future.

Swiss artist.
Testimony in a Swiss court
which caused the 38-year-old
daughter of the late George w.
Vanderbilt to be fined SO Swiss
francs ($11.30) for completely in
adultery, will be used in the di-
vorce action, lawyers said.
Friends of Baer, who drew a
fine double the amount levied
against Mrs. Cecil, also on adul-
terry charges, said he would mar
ry the Vanderbilt heiress, who di-
vorced her British husband, John
F. A. Cecil, in Paris in 1884.
The courts decision after Sc.
cret hearings in the adultery cases
was understood to have assured
Mrs. Baer her divorce.

Judge Heriot Clarkson, justice OF
the supreme court, has accepted
the invitation to be present and
make an address and introduce
Governor Clyde R. Hoey, who will
make the principal address in the
forenoon on August 2.
On that occasion it is expected
that g. number of distinguished
state officials and citizens, and
perhaps leading citizens from 9TH
er states, will be present.
An important announcement
made by Mrs. Sadie S. Patton is
that DIR. C. C. Crittenden, secre-
tary of the State Historical COM
mission, has accepted the INVITA-
ton to deliver an address Wed
nesday evening, August 3. This
will make special appeal to all
who are interested in the histor-
icai aspects of the celebratlon

F.D.R. In Last
Minute Attempt
For Rail Relief

WASHINGTON, June 8. (UP).
President Roosevelt is exerting
last-minute pressure on congress
for passage of two railroad-aid
bills before adjournment, it was
learned today.
Coupled with other overnight
developments, this information
made a Saturday adjournment in
creasingly improbable. Senate
Majority Leader Alben w. Bark
ley, D., KY, was the only leader
still hoping for an end of congress
this week. =.
The White House program, it
was learned, proposes enactment
of two railroad measures:
/. A bill to permit the Recon-
struction Finance corporation to
make loans to railroads without
interstate commerce commission
assertion that the roads are SOL
vent.
2. A bankruptcy bill permitting
railroads to carry reorganization
plans directly to the circuit courts
of appeal.
The program is backed, accord
ing to reports in congress, by
RFC Chairman Jesse Il. Jones and
railroad MANAGEMENT.
