It is true that there are many wars in Bible leistory, but there are also some bright instances of international. friendliness, It will be remembered 10:14; compare Leviticus, c ap. . While his mind was occupied with this perplexing question the messengers of Cornelius arrived. Next day he went away with them and certain brethren from Jopntl accompanied him.

I. AN INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP, Ruth 1: 1-18. • The family of Elimelech had been. hospitably received in Moab, just across the Jordan valley to the east- ward. he sons married women of Moab. Apparently they were not fluenced by the bitter terms of the law rich nleastu'e. against foreigners in Dent. 23: 3, if such a law was in existence at that. time, and they quite evidently knew nothing of the stern measures taken against mixed marriages by Ezra and Nehemiah in the fifth century B.C. The story centres ie Ruth, the Botib itess, whose warm affection :for her mother-in-law Naomi, leads her to forsake her own homeland, and to re - tuns with Naomi to Bethlehem in Judah. It is quite possible that she was influenced by the superior purity mutt dignity of Naomi's religion as well as by her personal character. In the sequel Naomi persuades her to claim from' her dead husband's near kins- man the right of levirate marriage, a right ordinarily admitted only in the case of Jewish women, see Dent. 25: 5-10. And so Ruth, the woman of Moab, becomes the wife of Boaz, of , Bethlehem, and great-grandmother of David,. the king of Israel. anoeists III.

OVERCOMING NATIONAL PREJUDICE AND ILL WILL, John 4: 5-10; Acts 1-0: 1 to 11: 18; Gal,3: 28, 29. The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. The Samaritans were a ivied race, descendants of the few peo- ple of Tsrael who were left after the tall of that kingdom, and the carrying off of many captives by the Assyrians in B.C. 722, and the strangers from eastern and northern countries who were brought and settled there with then, 2 Xings, chap. 17.
