Yet all the time God was working out His loving and wonderful purposes l’qr her. She and Ruth were to have a- place in human hstory that few women have had. For Naomi’s, grandchild, the little son born to Boaz and Ruth, was named Obed. We are told at the close of the book that Obed be­ came the father of Jesse, -the father of David. And David’s Greater Son, centuries “later, was also David’s Lord, the Son of God our Lord Jesus Christ. What a wonderful God and Saviour Naomi and Ruth had, and we have! Boaz spoke a beautiful word to the young stranger Ruth when he first found her in his field. Indeed, she was not entirely a stranger to him, for what he says shows that he knew something of her unselfish love and devotion to her mother-in-law, her beauty of character and purity of. life. He said: "The Lord recom­ pense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.” Have we 'come .to trust un­ der the wings of that same wonder­ ful, all-loving, all powerful and all­ providing God? It was the descen­ dant of Boaz and Ruth, after the flesh, who cried out thirteen cen-j turies Utter; "o Jerusalem, Jerusal­ em, thou hast killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent un­ to thee, how often would I have gathered thy chicken together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens un­ der her wings, and ye would not!” (Matt. 23:37.) The word Ruth means Satisfied, and as Dr.’ Weddell points out, the .evangelistic message of the book tells the anxious &oul how to find rest and home. He makes two more points richly suggestive. Doctrinally, the book is the grac­ ious abrogation of the law in Deut­ eronomy 23: 3, that "An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.” But Ruth the Moa'bitess, by the grace of God, is, brought _,i7i..,auc( biased asb,tlie-.fa- vofed ancentress of ’ the coming Christ—the hope of Jew and Gentile alike. [ "Sit still, my daugnter,” said Na­ omi, "until thou know how the mat­ ter will fall; for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.” So cried Paul in Phillippians 1:6, "Being 'confident of this very thing, that He which I hath begun a good work in you will ■perform it until the day of Jesus !

NAOMI AND RUTH Sunday, August 3.---The Book of Ruth Golden Text And He hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth. (Acts 17: 20.) The book of Ruth is a beautiful pastoral romance; a love story that is more than any mere story, thought it is that tual incident of history, the great love story of God for those whom lie redeems, Because of a famine in the land of Judah, a Gethlehemite took his wife Noami and his two softs and journeyed across country to the land of Moab on the east. There he died, leaving his wife and the two boys. They grew up and took Moabitish girls as wives, Orpath and Ruth. After some ten years the young men both died, and now Naomi was be­ reft indeed, her husband and her two sons gone. She arose to return to her land, hearing that the -famine was past and there was bread there, she told her'daughters-in-law to re-1 turn to their mothers’ houses. They both lovedaher and wept. Finally Or­ path kissed her good-bye, ‘‘but Ruth clave unto her.” As Naomi still urg­ ed her to return to her own people and to her own gods. Ruth uttered the immortal words: "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from fol­ lowing after three: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” The two returned to Bethlehem, and Ruth went into the fields to glean in the harvest. There wa,s a kinsman of Noami's husband named Boaz, and it was to his field that Ruth had gone. He took a kindly interest in her, protected her, gave orders that she 'be generously treat­ ed, and the story goes on until Boaz decides to take Ruth as his wife, un­ less a still, nearer kinsman claims', his rights. i When given the opportunity the other kinsman relinquishes his rights and Boaz makes known his purpose to take Ruth as his wife, redeeming or buying in at the same time a place of land that Naomi was offering for sale. The marriage was blessed by God, a son was born to Boaz and Ruth, and Naomi’s sorrow and lone­ liness were replaced by joy and fam­ ily life again. •An interpretation of the symbolic meaning of the book is that .it is a froview.of the- Church (Rutl^l as,'.the, Gentile bride of Christ, the Bethje- liemite, who is' able to redeem. This interpretation finds in Ruth a nor­ mal Christian experience, the four chapters setting forth: 1. Ruth de­ ciding. Resting. Dr. J. W. Weddell, in’hisjielpful little book, "Your Study Bible,” summarizes the four chapters as fol­ lows: 1.
