Our klns- umu Redeemer, the tna mighty man of wenlth, shall redeem the inheritance and deliver tlio whole creation from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God (Rom. viil, 21-23).

"The kingdom shall be the Lord'B" (Obad. 21). Some one has outlined the book as follows: Chapter 1, Ruth deciding; chapter 11, Ruth gleaning; chapter 111. Kuth resting; chapter iv, Ituth rewarded. The lesson assigned us is la the first portion, but we must look a little at the context.

It looks as IC Eliraelech and Naoinl made a misstep lu going to Moab, but God overruled It as He does all things work out Ills purpose. "Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain" (I's. Ixxvi, 10). The loss of her husband uud two sons In the land of Moab looks to Naomi like a chasten Ing, for she says, "I went out full, and the Lord bfttfa brought mo homo agftiu empty" 21). The going out was hers; the bringing home waa the Lord's.

She said, "The haud of the Lord is gone out ngsdnst me; the Lord huth teslitied against me; tho Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me, and the Almighty hntli afflicted me" (verses 18, 20, 21). Yet doubtless she would afterward add, "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy word' 1 (I's. exix, C7). The fullness of blessing which came to her through Kuth could not have been known uulcsa she had been emptied. Broken and emptied vessels are the kind the Lord uses.

The name "Almighty" is suggestive of this, a name first used in Gen. xvll, and more times in the book of Job than in all the rest of the Bible. Job, although a servant of God, thought a great deal of himself (Job but after he had his eyes opener see and abhor himself be was blessed as never before (chapter xlil). That Naomi should urge her sons' wives to return to their Idolatrous homes and people seems strange when she knew thoBGod of Israel to be the only true God'but she was not specially joyful in the Lord about that time and was so lonely herself that she seemed to think only of the temporal welfare of her daughters-in-law. We t'o not say but that she'should at all costs have sought to win the Moabites to the true God, but Christians will never win people out of the world by going down into It aud beirfg conformed to It.

Think how the people of Sodom despised Lot when he pleaded with them. They knew him too well. Naomi's testimony, on the whole, must have been for God rather than against Him, else Ituth would never have acted or spoken as she did. May her Immortal words be ours as wo turn to Him who loved us and gave Himself for us (verses 10, 17), and may we indeed bo as devoted to Him as she was to Naomi. There Is another gentile who nlways comes before me when I think of Ruth; I moau Ittai, tho Gittlte, who sold to David, "Aa the Lord liveth and IIB my lord the king livoth.

surely In what place my lord the king shall be, whether In death or life, even there also will tby Borvimt be" (11 Sum. xv, 21). These gentiles make us think of two others In tho gospel story, likewise a man and a woman who greatly refreshed our Lord by their great faith. The words "steadfastly minded" (verso 18) make us think of Acts vil, B5; xl, I Cor. xv, 88, and work In us great desire to see "Jesus only" ansl run with patience looking onto Him.

"So they two went" (verse 19) points us to another of great nVvo tiou When Ellslm refused to leaveKlljah because he wanted double portion of his spirit (II Kings 11, 1-15), tmil we rend, "So they came; they two went on; they two stood; they two went over; they still went on and talked." When we tfeslm to be filled with the Spirit as much as Kllslio did thni and see Jemis as Intently as he saw Elijah, something will surely come of It to tho glory of God. OMEN'S scarce in Cactus Center, and there ain't no bargain storei Fer to start them Monda; rushes that creak the Etoutctt doors, But we had some Christmas that the town ain't over yet, Jest because of one small woman and a drug store toilet set.

Well, the biddin' started lively, and it got to gittin' hot, Fer every mind in Cactus on that single thing was sot. Purty soon I'd staked my saddle, worth two hundred dollars net, Just to own fer.one short second that blamed drug store toilet set.

It was then begun the shootin', no one seems to know jest how, And 'twas lack of ammernition that at last broke up the row, And thirteen of us was hurted, but the worst blow that we met Was in that some bullets had gono through that toilet let. Qut we plugged the punctures in it, and we plugged the wounded, too, And agreed we'd arbitrate it, and the bunch 'd see it through, So we sent a gift committee, but they came back sorer yet, Fer the teacher 'd fluttered eastward, so we have that toilet set.

Where Seal Meat and Whale's Blubber Take Turkey's Place. 'I thiuk Christmas, 1883, was my moat memorable one," said General Greely, the artlc explorer. "With my coinninud I was proceeding southward In the hope of obtulniug help, and about the 20th of October we ensconced ourselves In a little hut at Cnpc Sabine. Our supply of food waB running very low, and we were on very short ratlous, every one being ul- lowed Just food enough lu each twenty-four hours to sustain life. Under these depressing circumstances and atuld the awful silence of tlie polar ntght the cheerfulness that we continued to maintain was remarkable.

"Christmas day came nt lu the arctic regions! At 0 o'clock we bad our soup made of pens, carrots, blubber and potatoes. Our Christmas dinner wus served at 1 course, stew of seal meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and breadcrumbs; second course, c.Ted one hour after first, a stew of raisins, blubber and milk; dessert, a cup of hot chocolate. One of our party had some tobacco still left, aud he very kludly made a cigarette for each one In our little pnrty.

Our supplies were few, and Confederate money was at a heavy discount. Then came the bitter year of 1S(13, with the fnll of Vlcksburg and the defeat at Gettysburg. With sad faces, harmonizing well with their dresses of coarse black stuff, the women of the south devoted themselves to picking lint and spinning and weaving for husbands, fathers, brothers and sweethearts In the field.
