NAOMI AND RUTH (A STUDY
IN RACIAL RELATIONSHIPS).
The Book of Ruth.
Golden Text.—" And he made
of one every nation of men to
dwell upon the face of the earth.”
—Acts, xvli.26.
Christianity meets its acid test in
solving the perplexing problems of racial
relationships. In studying the Book of
Ruth, that Voltaire declared “was a
gem in Oriental history,” we learn how
in the days of the Judges the need of
food caused a prominent and wealthy
Hebrew to leave Bethlehem and seek a
home among the Moabites, where there
was no lack of food supplies. In taking
this step Elimelech disregarded his loy
alty to his nation and to Jehovah. Al
though he had only to cross the Jordan
either to the north or south of the Dead
Sea to reach Moab, where descendants
of Lot lived, Elimelech's journey took
him into a country where there was a
difference in religion. “To the Jew
there was no land so distant as the
land of a foreign worship.”
There is no indication that Elimelech
gave up his devotion to Jehovah when
he arrived in the country where
Chemosh was the local deity who was
worshiped by the Moabites. The whole
period of the Judges was marked by
pitiless wars and baseless apostacies, so
that Elimelech may have felt that he
I was not taking his family into a worse
moral condition than that which existed
around Bethlehem in the days of the
Judges. His home life was marked by
love and devotion. Possibly the two
sons, whose names passess singular sig
nificance, Mahlon meaning "sickly” and
Chilion meaning “a wasting away,”
may have married their Moabitish wives
previous to the death of their father,
Elimelech. Although he went into Moab
to preserve the life of the members of
his family, he probably did not live very
long in Moab. Probably he had wel
comed into his home the two Moabitish
brides, Ruth and Orphah, who, accord
ing to the custom of the East, came to
dwell in the home of the parents of the
groom, where they were instructed in
the traditions, teachings and practices
of the family. The death of Elimelech
and the two sons filled Naomi with
great sorrow and a longing to return to
Bethlehem. When she determined to
return to her former home and seek
support from her people, Naomi urged
her daughters-in-law to abide in Moab
with their families. She pointed out the
difficulties that they would face if they
returned with her. which would be
greater than she had experienced as an
emigrant. They had a chance of re
marrying in Moab, which they probably
would not have in Bethlehem.
Ruth’s Decision.
While Orphah followed the advice of
Naomi, Ruth revealed a love for Naomi
and the whole Jewish race by her de
cision. She determined to be faithful
to her mother-in-law and accept the
Jewish faith, even if “she and her de
scendants would remain excluded from
the assembly of Jehovah; even to the
tenth gtneration.” Although at that
period the Hebrews looked upon every
other nation as pagans, the love of
Naomi had removed the barrier of racial
antagonism and religious prejudice. It
was the influence of Naomi in the home ;
that prompted Ruth to give expression
to “one of the most beautiful, eloquent
and memorable passages in the Bible."
Although the Moabites could claim a
kinship with the Hebrews, yet Ruth's
decision called for her to give up every
thing—her country, her social position,
her relations, her chance of remarriage
and her religion. She declared her reso
lution and made known her decision
when she said: “Entreat me not to
leave thee nor to return from following
after thee! For where thou goest I will
go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge.
Thy people will be my people and thy
God my God. Where thou diest I will
die, and there I will be buried. The
Lord do so to me, and more also, if
aught but death part thee and me.”
Ruth gave a practical proof of her
devotion and love for Naomi, for upon
their arrival in Bethlehem at harvest
time she started out to support Naomi
and herself by her own efforts. Naomi
advised her where she should seek to
glean. She sent her to a particular field,
where one of the world’s greatest ro
mances had Its beginnings. Naomi did
not dream anything about who owned
the field; she knew that Ruth as a
stranger, an orphan and a widow haa
certain rights and privileges according
to the law of God to glean that portion
of the crop which belonged to the poor.
Her appearance In the field attracted
the attention of Boas, who, upon learning
that she was a widow of one of Naomi s
sons, recognized that he had a duty to
the stranger. He spoke kindly to her
and arranged for her protection and
provided that she should be given spe
cial consideration by his reapers. Boaz
was not the nearest relative, but he se
cured a waiver of his rights fro m the
nearest kinsman, so that he could enter
into a levirate marriage, which was an
ancient oriental custom that was not
confined to the Hebrews. It was not
until that claim could be waived that
Boaz could enter into marriage with
Ruth that resulted in their becoming
the ancestors of the Messiah.
Modern Message.
We are living In an age that is marked
by what has been called “constructive
discontent.” The voices of many pessi
mists snd prophets are heard, but there
has never been such a demand ,or co
operative effort to build a newageand
more stable social, commercial. «*<momic
and political life. It Is heard in nearly
every country. While America, with
its wide-open doors and welcome lor
people of ah nations, faiths creeds and
colors may recognize its
a part of the awakening in all lands.
The cry for a square deal and a place In
me sun ls seen today in many coun
tries where the clash of color and the
barrier of speech and faith have pre
vented the proper approach to one an
other, especially to the foreigners wlth
-111 If U America is to aolve the problem
presented by the presence of the vari
ous races and tongues In our midst, we
must not follow the spirit of conde
scensions that has characterized so
many nations In their attitude towards
other people. In our study today, we
have seen something of the power
love to remove racial prejudice and the
barriers of faith. The Lord Jesus In,
His meeting with the woman of Samaria ,
did not treat the woman who met Him
at Jacob's well with the scorn and con
tempt that marked the attitude of His
countrymen to Samaritans. He revealed
Himself to her as the Messiah and ahe
won Sychar to Him by her testimony.
He commended the faith of the Roman
centurion. He responded to the plead
ings of th* Syrophoenician woman for
her daughter. He stirred up the anger
of His countrymen when He cited the
widow of Zarephath and Namaan, the
Syrian, as examples of how God's mercy
was not limited to the Jewish people.
His parable of the Good Samaritan
taught that we should not be limited by
race or religion in our philanthropy.
The Golden Rule, which is the quin
tessence of statesmanship, contains no
limitations of social position, nation
ality, race, sex, or sect. If the prob
lems of the hour are to be solved, they
can be solved only when men are moved
by the spirit of love that we saw exhib
ited by Naomi and Ruth In our study
1 of this lesson. It is the basis of God's
; efforts to save the world. Let us ex
hibit love for our fellows from every
I country and every clan, of every color

and of every creed, then we can soon
come to understand one another, and
the barriers that hinder universal peace
and prosperity will disappear. Then we
will live, as brothers, preserving the di
visions of nationality and race, so that
each may be given the full opportunity
to make their contribution to the wel
fare of humanity, helping through love
for one another to build up a brother
hood of nations, races and creeds dedi
cated to help, aid. and assist one an
other in such a manner that, free from
malice, justice will be rendered to all.

TPHE original English settlers in
Worcester County, N. Y., seem
to have provided without delay for
their spiritual needs, for as early as
1665 they had a rector, who watched
over four or five parishes because none
of them could afford to pay for one
of their own. In the year 1700, how
ever, the communicants erected their
first church, a frame building 28 feet
square. This structure served for 76
years, at which time the congregation
decided to build a new structure to
accommodate the larger number of in
habitants who had settled in this part
of the State. But it was not until
the year 1795 that it took the name
of St. Paul.
During the American Revolution the
new church building was used as a
hospital by the British, who removed
some of the partitions and all of the
| pews and benches to make room for
