The Book of Ruth relates an epi- sode among the Israelites in the days of the Judges+---the storymar- riage of the m riage of Ruth the Moa'bitess to her kinsman, Boaz, and so, how another heathen ancestor was introduced into the pedigree. ref David and of Jesus Christ. The grace and beauty of the story are universally praised.- By it we get a glimpse into the domestic life of the period. The very simplicity of. the book, which reinstitutes ' its charm, is also the best proof of its truthfulness.

There is no striking or- deal to be faced, elm path of lions to be chosen, no fiery furnace to be trod. She is the Bible representative of female decision of character; but the decision is made in a seemingly insignificant act; it is made in a case of love; but it is what would be deem- ed the most unheroic kind of love. Did ever any artist outside the Bible paint decision of character in the resolution to follow the fortunes of a mother-in-law? The Bible always selects the discarded stones and makes them the head of the corner. . In the first five verses of the Book of Ruth are enumerated the circum- stances that lead up to the incident in to -day's lesson. Naomi to all .ap- pearances was left "desolate and she determined to return to her home- land. She made this decision known to her two daughters-in-law sand counselled then to remain with their own people, She tells them of a blank life before her which they can- not share. She releases them from ' cfrom l all le. all obligations. •She tg lays , c peeler stress ••c n �, s on the lack of matrimonial prospects in the land of canaan, among a people who hate foreigners and hold their own caste to be supreme.• She even hides. one little ray of sunshine -which might possibly come" to her in her native land. She has a rich kinsman living in Bethlehem who might perhaps help her. But the unexpected hap- pened. One of the daughters-in-law voluntarily elects to make a sacrifice, which is not asked. With a resole' tion conveyed in suppressed fire, Ruth refuses to quit the side of Naomi. The words in which the resolve is uttered constitute the most determine ed, .the most dgcie'ive, the meet un- hesitating confession of love in all literature. dth is a love invplving deep privation. She .gives ,Cup every- thing her country, her social caste, her relations, her chances., her as- sociations of worship, the cherished companionship of one who acted otherwise. Listen to the gentleness of the words of surrender, "Entre'at me not to leave thee nor to return from following after theet For where thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge. Thy peo- ple will be troy people• and thy God my God. Where than diest I will die, and there will I he buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if augh but death part thee and me. WORLD MISSIONS Devotion In Service In India mnissionariesi'•are at work in sixty-one leper asylums and homes for the untainted children of lepers. Some of you 'have heard of Mary ry Reed, the Amedcan missionary, who, when she was in Anterica on fur- lough, found that she had leurosy. Without a word to her friends about it she went back to India and is now in charge of a beautiful leper asylum where she is giving her life fcr her Indian fellow -sufferers. It is indeed touching to know how real is the interest of these leper's in others. Their church comes to mean much to them. They give 'of their scanty money to all sorts of Christian causes. I have never hears a more beautiful story of real Chris- tian experience than that of an Indian leper girl in Sam Higginbotton';s asylum at Naini.

Gradually a change came over the whole life of the asylum as a result of her loving service and with it a change 'came in herself. One day after she had be- gun working for her ifeiloRv'-lepers some time, she, opened her heart to the American women doctor. She told her that at first she had rebel- led against her fate, but that gradual- ly she had cone to see that God had brought her there because 'He need- ed her to work for the lepers. If she had not become a leper, she would never have discovered her work. She ended her confession with theseond�r•f 1 w u words: "Every da I live now, I thank Him for having sent me here and given me this work to do."

(By C. Patrick Thomipson, condensed from'The Royal, Londen,,in Magazine Digest) o It's a very long line, 'Europe's leg- ion of men and women who won't stay dead. In its ranks are explorers,' airmen, warriors, financiers, crimin- als, and mere citizens. They come from all ranks of life. Colonel H. P. Fawcett is very typical. Eight. years ago he' disappeared in the Matto. Gies- so jungle' in Bolivia in search of an ancient city supposed to contain the clue to the lost civilization . of At- lantis. Eight years is long .enough for Fawcett to- he considered dead leg- ally. His' wife could marry again. But she ±steadfastly believes her hus- band to be alive. So does Senor 'Ur- riolagoitia, .Bolivian Consul General in London; so much so that he is heading a -new expedition to search for Fawcett. Nil ''h?Sy+...a�9..r p4a'.

Nobody • knows what happened to their; rumor and surmise suggest that they have been eaten by canni- bals, slain by hairy .pigmies, made prisonei's'°by head-hunters. Stephen Rattin, a trapper, came out. of the jungle two years ago and reported having seen a bearded white man in an Indian village, who was acting as ad -visor to an Indian Queen. A Can- adian prospector, Captain Morris, on 'the other hand reported that he had seen a revolver, compass and leather pouch stamped with Fawcett's in- itials hanging over the shoulder of a notorious bandit. Now Nrriolagoitia hopes to solve the mystery by air, canoe, and on foot through the jun- gle. There is a long list of airmen whom the public re -fie -es to pet mit to re - 'mein peoperly dead. 1t is not known what happened to Nungessoz', Coli, Princess Llowenstetn-hhetl:eim, ))r Leon Pisculli, and numerous others. Some of them. may have escaped death, even though they are officially dead. Captain Lancaster, the Eng- lishmen, set out in April to beat the England -to -the -Cape air record; 'he vanished somewhere over the Sahara. Before that Elsie Mackay and Cap- tain Hinchcliffe disappeared com- pletely' after leaving Cromwell Aero- dr•om, outside London. Elsie Mackay was the wealthy `daughter of Lord Inchcape, England's shipping king and India's richest merchant prince. Captain Hinchcliffe was a famcus pil-' at with Imiperial Aairways, a war• time pilot, and a married man with two children. The trip was the most secretive ever planned, Elsie Mac- kay financed it, and, the two slipped away early on the windy morning of March 1:1, 1928. No one at the aero- drome knew the muffled girl who ac- companied Hinchcliffe was Elsie Mackay until later, Hinchcliffe s wife didn't knnce about the perilous flight either. No wreckage was ever found but a boatman picked un a bottle many- weeks later in the Dee estuary, neat' Flint.. On the paper in the bot- tle was a pencilled scrawl: "Good-bye to all. Elsie 'Mackay and Captain Hinchcliffe. Down in fog." The message failed completely to dispel that that the flight was a blind, that the two had not intended to make a westward crossing, but to land sonaeewhere and start a new life together with assumed identities. Lord Inchcape himself_ waited a year before he made a gift to,the nation; of the $2.500,000 he had left to his daughter in his will. Alfred Lowenstein stepped into his luxurious private Fokker 'plane at Croydon airport, together with his two stenographers, his secretary and pilot. Somewhere over the charnel the financier went into the lavatory commartment. That was the last seen of him. The first thoughht§ wore of a fantastic suicides, ides, but despite the fact that he hail 'gone a bull on the world at the wrong time, his es- tate yielded more than $5,0001000. Other ruiners (tad it that he bead 'staged a t>rwagie death for market Pur- poses, A fortnight later a decompos- ed, unclothed iboy was found floating in the sea off the Northern French voalst. A watch was strapped to the wrist, It was said to be Lowenstein's corpse. But what had iblecanie of'' he clothes? Lowenstein away he died, but it is very difficult to convince people of the fact. It took twelve years, a State limper, 'and the surmlise that he must have died of old age by now anyway to drum Lord Kitchener out of the leg- ion. Early on a warm June day, 'Bri-. tain's famous War Minister embark- ed from ,Scapa Flow for Russia, where he intended to rally the Czardom. But he failed to arrive. The cruiser struck a mine and saiik. Kitchener's body was never found. 'Rumor in- sisted "that, by some devious route, he had ibecon>le a .pT'iscnzer in an Est Prussian castle, where eventually he died, and was buried. Popular opin- ion demanded that his body be' brought back to British soil for its final rest- ing place, but official investigation soon collapsed the myth. ill/tech the same thing happened when Ivar Kreuger shot himself in Paris. Rumiors break at the rate of about one a month that Kreuger us- ed a fake Paris suicide as a door through which to step. into a new identity, financed by a vast gold hoard. These tales began when the reporters caught a strong smell of burning wax as the windowed coffin, said to contain the match king's corpse, was reduced to ashes in the incinerating •cylinder in Stockholm. Later a Swedish beauty, Ingeborg. Eberth, received an unstamped letter from Kreuger apparently posted in Russia, and an English tobacco firm received from 'Sumatra an order for a speeial blend of cigarettes made for the fastidious Kreuger. i1However the letter from Rus 1 sa can not 'be�produced, and so far the other rumors have proved- without base. Probably the tobacco firm need- ed a little publicity. Recently, though, a police commission which had been engaged in untangling Kreu- ger's affairs issued a special report confirming his death. But the rum- ors live on. Belief in his criminal motilve helps the Kreuger myth, the public having 'become aware that the disappearing triek is more popular than it had re- alized. Lesser even than Kreuger have tried to stage the trick. ' Some may --have pulled it off. But for the hazards connected with the collecting of insurance money, quite a number of men would have successfully died only to live again. One day on a train a citizen of. the Prussian town of Bartenstein glanced casually at a mean passing in the cor- ridor and gasped. . He thought he had seen a dead men. The charred body of Fritz Saffran had been tak- en weeks before from the debris of his burnt-out furniture shop. Yet the reseibiiblan a ---'intrigued the citizen af- Bartenstein and he went along the corridor. to get a better look at the mJan whom he thought to be bee dead. The so-called dead man's' face paled• when he saw his acquaintance. At the next station he got off quickly. But the police managed to catch him. iIt was Saffron all right. He was on his way from Hainburg to get a boat for America. At the trial it emerged that Saffran had arranged with an accomplice to die and collect $35,000 insurance, A corpse was necessary—that of some man who, when he vanished would be suspected with absconding with the money. The - local milkman suited admirably: They shot him and carried the corpse to Saffran's furniture shop, 'dressed it in Saffran's clothes, and put his ring on the dead 'm'an's finger. Then 'they set fire to the place. The accomplice collected the irtsurance money' (which habeen arranged to look like a bush ne, transaction in connection with a debt) and passed over half to Saf- fran. who4ay ,hidden for three weeks in the other's house. But for.the unlucky chance of run- ning .across an' acquaintance at the boat train, Saffran would have risen ,like the phoenix from. the ashes of his, officially dead self. • • During the month of June the sales of branded beer in all Canada amounted to 3,183,433 pounds.

One hardly dares inven- tion by name those whose hateful con- duct we are about to deed -rite. -They are called lice and itch, and the im- pudence and effrontery of these two s'cou'ndrels is indese ilbable.

An ancient legend tells of Scylla, Whose body was so infested by armies of lice that a general infection of the skin broke out with a multitude of abscesses. Here is a strange fact: the Romans bathed with great frequency; yet they were covered with, vermin. Lice have no fear of .water, and adapt themselves as readily to the bath as do their hosts. During ,the Middle Ages, few re- cords ;were kept, but it would seem that in,the earlier centuries, at least, the people were very clean, and Cab- anes wrote an entire hook in support of this. Every gentleman carried his hath with him on his travels. Were there any lice? W.a do not know, but we do know that about the sixteenth century, there was a general turn for the worse in...point of cleanliness. where were probably lieee;but thempee- ple had become so accustomed' to them that they paid little or no at- tention to them. Once in a while, when the numbers of them gre-w beyond a certain limit, so that they crawled over and under each other, the phys- icians of the times regarded the fact as important enough to he recorded. The world of to -day is a trifle more sparsely populated with the tiny pests. But there are still some. Not so long ago, a duchess of a noble house consulted a friend of mine a- bout a number of troublesome pur- ples on the nape of her peck. Natur- ally, my friend was embarrassed, for it is hardly .polite to tell a duchess such a disagreeable.thing to her face. He tactfully advised her to use a tine comb when she returned hone. Two hours later a !bottle of wine arrived as a present from the gratefui lady-, who had (great horrors!) discovered no less than seven lice. During the Great War, .lice were the inseparable companiorie of the privates in the Allied armies. They were'ple.asantly nicknamed "totes' by the French, and "cooties"' by the. Americans and Canadians. The story is told of a French poilu on leave of absence, who was amusing himself by watching one of the insects stroll up and down his cap. A lady in the same train conpartTltent protested al- most hysterically. "But, madam," he said smiling, "if I were to kill this one, hundreds would attend his fun- eral." Among workmen there are two dis- tinct classes of ]ice, depending on the part of the body they favor. There are those of the head, and those who prefer the body. Actually there is little difference either in their ap- pearance or their tastes. The female of the species lays something like ten eggs a day, and 'fastens them secure- ly either to hairs or threads of cloth- ing. In this state they are • called nits and after various transforma- tions they emerge as adults in a few weeks. A louse rarely lives longer than a month, and its constitution is appealing ; in its .delicacy. It must have two meals of blood per day and thrives hest in a temperature of CZ to 70' degrees F. Failing this careful 'treatment, the creattires'may succumb in a few hours. Clothing lice are not usually found on children, but are peculiarly friend- ly to older people. They hide in the seams' of underwear, under the arms and' on the .chest. When'they become over -plentiful, the scabs run into each other -until the entire body may be- come pink in color. This is probably what happened to the unfortunate Scylla aforementioned. • A louse is not a peaceful sort of guest. Not only does it irritate with its bite, hut it is a carrier of at least two serious diseases,—recurrent fev- er and typhus. It can ,be eradicated with boiling water, or in clothing which cannot be so treated by press- ing the seams with a very hot iron. The hair nl,ay he cleaned by an ap- plication ole creosol in solution or a bath of weak vinegar. But we must beg yo r pardon. We have not been fair.. The louse is truly ,interesting; (but• the, itch should nut be so sadly neglected.' Here is a tiny creature that taxes the ingenuity- of ngenuityof the best •t)f physicians.- Take the case of Van lfelmiont, who lived in the sixteenth century. He was mad- ly in love .with a young lady who did not return his affection. • Determined% to have something 'belonging to her, if he could • not have .her herself, hes filched one of her gloves, and spent• many a dreamy moment drawing it over his own hand. It was not long- before he discovered a small sore,. which upon expert eeentination, was found to be'tlre-iteT:t It was an. ef- ficacious cure for his love malady. ' Although the love died out of his heart, the horrible, exasperating, im- placa'ble itch remained: !Medical sci- ence of that day admitted its inabil- ity to cope with the situation. Hel m•ont grew thin and pale, worn out. with the constant battle with his arch enemy. At length he lost all patience' with the internal remedies which his: doctors prescribed for him. Ineteadl of that, he daily powdered his skim `With flowers of sulphur, and paid: strict attention to cleanliness. Mar- vellous! He was cured, and front that day it was 'his ambition to be- c'ome a physician. Not the type of that day, +but one that took things as they were, and •prescri'bed according- ly. This pernicious insect was dis4ov- ,ered about the 12th century by Av enzoar but even when Redi described it in 1687, there was little known a- bout its ways and habits. It , was aibeut that time that another student studied its method of propagation, and learned that it laid its eggs urn- der n7der the edge of the healthy skin sud- rounding the sore and thus extended its ravages. The sore is usually cir- cular 1n shape, but may take the forts of furrows which convbirie as the trou- ble,. spreads. Among , cleanly people the disease is of short duration.., Napoleon con- tracted -it at the seige of Toulon, and was troubled with it for a large partcf the remainder of his life. There is no proof that he communicated it to his +body -guard,, for a simple hand- shake will "not pass it on. A lengthy c.ontac.t is absolutely necessary, and the best conditions are warmth and! night. Bedfellows are more apt to contract it, from each other than in casual friendly meetings, For this reason, one should be very suspicious of 'beds -and bedclothes in hotels, es- pecially where they are not regularly changed. Even the story of the glove would be censiderred most unusual to- day as a method of carrying the dis- ease. Direct personal contact seems almost the only sure method. We 'm-ight conclude with the re- mark that human beings are by no means the only ones favored by these, "pests. Dogs, cats, sheep, camels, lions and monkeys are all susceptible. However, the itch or mange that at- tacks animals does not rfersist on man, and yields to the mildest of treatment. The remedy is well known ; energetic friction with " some good antiseptic soap, s daily bath followed! by a half hour of massage, and then an application of sulphur salve has proved excellent. In acute cases, it is well to have the physician prescribe a remedy. All clothing should be' thoroughly sterilized in boiling water„ 'I`helt0141110 £RSOI?thOIiJ OfMagig -`at . COL. A. E.
