Subject: “Hoax and Ruth.’
f
Text: “And she went and came and
leaned io the fleld after the reapers, and
er hap was to light on a part of the fiald
belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kin-
dred of Eiimeleoh, "Ruth ii, 8,
The time that Ruth and Naomi arrive at
Bethlehem is harvest time, It was the cus-
tom when a sheaf fell from a load in the
barvest fleid for the reapers to refuse to
gather it up, That was to be left for the
poor who might bapper to come along that
way. If there were handfuls of grain scat-
terad across the fleld after the main harvest
had been reaped, instead of raking it, as
farmers do now, it was, by the custom of
the land, left in its place so that the or,
coming that way, might glean it and get
their bread. Bat you say, “What is the
use of all these harvest folds to Ruth acd
Naomi? Naomi is too old and feeble to go
out and toil in the sun, and can you expect
that Ruth, the young and the beautiful,
should tan her cheeks and blister her hands
in the harvest fleld?”
Boaz owns a large farm, and he goes out
to see the reapers gather in the grain. Com-
ing there, right behind the swarthy, sun-
browned reapers, he beholds a beautiful
woman gleaning--a woman more fit to bend
to a harp or sit upon a throne than to stoop
among the sheaves, Ab, that was an eveat-
ful day!
It was love at first sight, Boaz forms an
attachment for the womanly gleaner-—an
attachment full of undying Interest to the
church of God in all ages, while Ruth, with
an ephah, or nearly a bushel of barley, goes
home to Naomi to tell her the successes and
adventures of the day. That Rath, who left
her native land of Moab in darkness, and
traveled through an undying affection for
her mother-in-law, is in tho harvest fleld of
in Judah, and becomes in after time the aa-
cestrass of Jesus Ohrist, the Lord of glory.
Out of so dark a night did there ever dawn
80 bright a morning?
I learn in the first place from this subject
how trouble develops character, It was be-
reavement, poverty and exile that developed,
fliustrated and announced to all ages the
gsublimity of Ruth's character, That is a very
unfortunate man who has no trouble, It was
sorrow that made Johu Bunyan the better
dreamer, and Dr. Young the better poet, and
O'Connell the better orator, and Bishop Hall
the better preacher, and Havelock the better
soldier, and Kitto the etter encyclopaedist,
and Rath the better daughter-in-law.
I once asked an aged man in regard to his
pastor, who was a very brilliant man, “Why
is it that your pastor, 80 very brilliant, seems
to have so little heart and tenderness in his
sermons?’’ “Well,” he repited, “the reason
is our pastor has never had any trouble.
When misfortune comes upoc him, his style
will be different.” After awhile the Lord
took a child out of that pastor's house, and
though the preacher was Just as brililant as
he was betore, oh, the warmth, the tender-
ness of his discourses! The fact is that
trouble is a great educator. You see some-
times a musician sit down at an instrument
and his execution is cold and formal ana un-
feeling, The reason is that all his life he
has been prospered. But let misfortune or
bereavement come to that man, and he sits
down at the instrument, and you discover
the pathos in the first sweep of the keys,
Misfortune and trials are great educators.
A youug doctor comes {nto a siekroom where
there is a dylogchild. Perhaps he is very
rough in his prescription and very rough in
bis manner and rougn in the fesling of the
pulse and rough in hisanswer to the mother’s
anxfous question, But years roll on, and
there has been one dead in his own house,
and now he comes lato the slekroom, and
with tearful eyes he looks at the dying child,
and he says, “Ob, bow this reminds
my Charlie!” Trouble, the great educator.

shadnezzar's farnace, I see Paul's prowess
best when I find him on the foundering snip
under the glare of the lightning in the
breakers of Melita, God crowns his chil
dren amid the howling of wild beasts and
the chopping of blood splashed guillotine
and the crackling fires of martyrdom. It
took the persecutions of Marcus Aurelius to
develo olycarp and Justin Martyr, It
took all the hostilities against the Saieotoh
Covenanters and the fury of Lord Claver-
house to develop James Benwlok and An-
drew Meiville and Hugh MeKall, the glori-
ous martyrs of Booth history. It took the
stormy sea and the December blast and the
desolate New England coast and the war
whoop of savages to show torth the prowess
of the pligrim fathers,
When amid the storms they sang.
And the stars heard, and the sea,
And the sounding alsies of the dim wood
Bang to the anthems of the free,
It took all our past national distresses, and
it takes all our present national sorrows to
}ift up our nation on thathigh career where
it will march long after the foreign aristoc-
racies have mocked and tyrannies that have
jeered, shall be swept down under the om-
nipotent wrath of God, who hates despotism
and who, by the strength of his own red
right arm, will make all men free. And so
it is individually, and in the family, and in
the church and in the world, that through
darkness and storm and trouble men,
women, churches, nations, are developed,
Again, I see in my text the beauty of un-
faltering friendship, I supposes there were
plenty of friends for Naom! while she was in
prosperity, but of all her acquaintances how
anany were willing to trudge off with her to-
w Judah, when she had to make that
lonely journey? One—the heroine of my
text, ne—absolutely one. I suppose when
Naomi's husband was liviog, and they had
plenty of money, and all things went weil,
they had a great many callers, but I suppose
that after her husband dled, and her prop-
erty went, and she got old and poor, she was
not troubled very much witheallers. All the
birds that sung in the bower while the sun
shone have gone to their nests now the night
bas tallen,
Oh, these beautiful sunflowers that spread
out their color inthe morning hour! But
they are always asleep when the sun is

when his property went and the trials came
then there were none so much that pestered

Life often seems to be a mere game,
where the sucoessful player pulls down all
the other men into his own jap, Let sus-
Jicions arise about a man's character, and
becomes lke a bank in a panie, and all
the imputations rush on him and break down
in a day that character which in due time
would ve had strength to defend itself,
There are reputations that have been half a
century in building which go down under
one push, as a vast temple is consumed by
the touch of asulphurous mates, A hog
Cant uproot a century plant,
In this world, so full of heartlessness and
hypoerisy, how thrilling it isto find some
friend as faithful is days of adversity as in
days of prosperity? David had such a friend
in Hushai; the Jews had such a friend in
f, who never forgot their cause;
Paul bad such a friend in Onesiphorus, who
visited him in jall; Christ had such in the
Harve whe adhered to Him on the cross;
i had such aone fn Ruth, who eried

turn from following
1 wil
-
thou diest will I die, and there willX be
buried, The Lord do so to me, and more
also, if aught but death part you and me.”
Again, I learn from this subject that paths
which open in hardship and darkness often
aome out in places of joy, When Ruth started
from Moab toward Jerusalem to go along
with her mother-in-law, I suppose the peo.
ple sald: Oh, what a foolish oreature to
go Away from her father's house; to go off
with a poor old woman toward the land of
Judah! They won't live to get across the
desert, They will be drowned in the sea, or
the jackals of the wildernosa will destroy
them." It was a very dark morning when
Ruth started off with Naom!. But behold her
in my text in the harvest fleid of Boaz, to be
afManoad to one of the lords of the land and
become ore of the grandmothers of Josus
Ohrist, the Lord of glory, And so {it oft.n
is that a path which often starts very darkly
ends very brightly,
When you sturted out for heaven, oh, how
dark was the hour of conviction; how Binal
thundered and the devils tormented and the
darkness thickened! All the sins of your life
Jounted upon you and it was the darkest
our you ever saw when you first found out
our sins, After awhile you went into the
arvest fleld of God's mercy. You began to
glean In the flelds of divine promise and you
had more sheaves than you could carry as
the voles of God addressed you saying,
*‘Blessed is the man whose transgressions are
forgiven and whoso sins are covered.” A
very dark starting in convietion, a very
bright ending fn the pardon and the hope
and the triumph of the gospel!
Bo, very often in our world(y business or
in our spiritual career we start off on a very
dark path, We must go. The flash may
shrink back, but there is a voloe within, ora
voles from above, saying, “You must go.”
And we have to drink the gall, and we have
to carry the cross, and we have to traverse
the desert, aud we are pounded and flailed
of misrepresentation and abuse, and we have
to urge our way through 10,000 obstacles
that havo been slain by our own right arm.
We have to ferd the river, we have to climb
the mountain, we have to storm the castle,
but, blessed be God, the day of rest and re.
come. On the tip top of the cap-
tured battlements we will shout the viotory;
if not in this world, then (n that world where
thers is no gall todrink, no burdens to carry,
no battles to fight. How do I know it? Know
it! I kpowit because God saya so: “They
shall hunger no mors, neither thirst any
more, neither shall the san light on them,
nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall lead them to liviag
fountains of water, and God shall wipe all
tears from their eyes.”
It was very hard for Noah to endures the
scoffing of the people in his day, while he
was trylog to build the ark and was every
morning quizzed about his old boat that
would never be of any practical use; but
when the deluge came and the tops of the
mountains disappeared like the backs of sea-
monsters, and the elements, lashed up in
fury, clapped their hands over a drowned
world, then Noah in the ark rejoiced in his
own safety and in the safety of his family
and looked out on the wreck of a ruined
earth.
Again, I ses in my subject an illustration
of the beauty of female industry.
iehold Rath tolling in the harvest fleld
under the hot sun or at noon taking plain
bread with the reapers or eating the parchel
corn which Boaz handed to her. The cus.
toms of soolety, of course, have changed,
and without the hardships and exposure to
which Ruth was subjected every intelligent
woman will find somethhg to do.
I know there is a slokly sentimentality on
this subleat. - In some families there are
fatucus of no practical servios to the house
old or community, and, though there are so
many woes all around about them in tho
world they spend their time languishing over
& new pattern or bursting into tears at mid.
night over the story of some lover who shot
himself, They would not design to look at
Ruth carrying back the barley on her way
home to her mother-in-law, Naomi, All
this fastidiousness may seem to do very well
father's house, but when the sharp winter of
misfortune comes, what of these butterflies?
Persons under indulgent parentage may get
upon themselves habits of indolence, but
when they come out into practical life their
soul will recoll with disgust and chagrin.
They will feel In thelr hearts what the poet
They're elegantly pained from momming unti

Through that gate of indolence how many
men and women have marched, useless on
earth, to a destroyed eternity! Bpinola sald
to Bir Horace Vere, “Of what did your
brother die?” "Of baving nothiag to do,”
was the answer, "Ah," sald Spinola, “that's
saough to kill any general of us!™ Oh, ean
it be possible In this world, wheres there 1s 80
darkness to be enlightened and so many bur-
dens to be carried, that there is any person
who cannot find anything to do?
Mme, de 8tasl did a world of work in her
time, and one day, whils she was seated
amid {ostruments of musle, all of which she
had mastered, and amid manuseript books
which she had written, some one sald to her,
“How do you find time to attend to all these
things?" Ob," she replied, “these are not
the things I on proud of. My chief boast is
in the fact that | have sovenieen trades, by
any one of which I could make a livelihood if
necessary.” And, if in secular spheres there
is so much to be done, in spiritual work how
vast the field! How many dylag ail around
about us without one word of comfort! We
want more Abigalls, more Hannahs, more
Eabeceas, more Marys, more Deborahs, con.
sscorated, body, mind, soul, to the Lord who
bought them,
Once more I learn from my subject the
value of gleaning,
Ruth golog into that harvest fleld might

Bariey for myself or my mother-in-law out
of these separate straws,” Not so said
beautiful Rath, She gathered two straws,
and she put them fogether, and more straws,
Yut-
ting that down, she went and gathered more
straws, until she had another sheaf, and
another, and another, and another, and then
she brought them together, and she threshed
them out, and she bad an ephah of barley,
nigh a bushel, Ob, that we might alli be
Risaners!
Elihu Burritt learned maay things while
tolling in a blacksmith shop. Abercrombie,
the world renowned philosopher, was a
phliosopher in Scotland, and he got his phil-
osophy, or the chief part of ir, while asa
physician he was waiting for the door of the
sickroom to open, Yet how many there are
in this day who say they are so busy they
have no time for mental or spiritual im-
provement, The great duties of life eross
the fleld like strong reapers and carry off all
the hours, and there is only here and there
a fragment left that is not worth gleaning,
Ah, my friends, you could go into the busiest
day aud busiest week of your life and find
golden opportunities, which, gathered,
might at list make a whoie sheaf for the
Lord's garner, It is the stray opportunities
and the stray privileges which, taken up and
bound together and beaten out, will at last
fill you with much joy.
Thers are a few moments left worth the
gleaning. Now, Ruth, to the fleld! May each
ane bave a measure full and running over!
Oh, you gleaners, to the fleld! And if there
be in your household an aged one or a sick
relative that is not strong enough to come
forth and toil in this fleid, then jot Ruth take
home to fesble Naomi this sheal of gleaning,
““He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come again
with pejoieind, bringing his sheaves with
him." May the Lord God of Ruth aad
Naomi be our portion forever!

The Italian quarter In the Bixth
ward, Brook. yn, possesses some strange
people, How they exist is a mystery
to the unitiated,
One of the favorite pursuits is har-
pooning drift wood. Wherever the
set of the tide carries the flotsam and
jetsam of the river into a siip, there is
sure to be a group of Italians, Each
is armed with a pole with a sharp
spike. A long, light cord is fastened
to the pole. The fisher casts his har-
poon at a plece of wood, and when the
spike strikes it, hauls it in and hoists
his prize ashore. The wood is then
carted home and dried in the yard of
the owner. Some Red Hook residents
have made considerable money in this
way.
Perhaps the most unsavory method
of making a living is that of the pick-
ers on the Twelfth Ward dumps.

Now Awnd Then
When Martha Washington was first
lady of the land the Puritan element
was contending with the tendency to
aristocracy and had not givén up the
struggle, We are told by careful
biographers that Mrs. Washington re-
ceived from eight to ten every Friday
evening. Afternoon receptions were
not in vogue then. Her levees were
numerously attended by all in fashion-
able and elegant society. She found-
ed the first republican drawing room
after the only model then known, the
court of Frauce. Nome were permit-
ted to attend except those who hed
high social and diplomsaticrank. And,
writes the historian, ‘full dress was
required of all who passed the ordeal
of social inspection.” When Mrs.
Madison was wife of a President in
1815, she was described as in the
meridian of her life and beauty.
Radiant and vivacious, she dispensed
hospitality and exchanged courtesies
with unrivaled grace. She looked and
moved a queen. One of her charac-
teristics was that, like Mrs, Cleve-
land, she never forgot a face. Her
quick sympathy was shown in every
word she uttered. Mrs. James K.
Polk was designated ‘‘the mother of
the Republic” when she entered the
White House in 1845. She was popu-

SILENT SUFFERERS.
Women do not Like to Tell a Doctor
the Details of Their
Private Ills,
The reason why so many women suffer
in silence from the multiple disorders con-
nected with their sexual system is that
they cannot bear to broach the subject
to a man, even if he is a paysician,
No one can blame a modest, sensitive
woman for this reticence. It Is unneces-
sary in these times, however, for a woman
makes to all afflicted women a most generous
offer. Mrs. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, bids every
woman who suffers to write to her and confide
every symptom that annoys her, and she will give
her advice without charge, and that advice is
based upon the greatest experience ever possessed
by man or woman in thiscountry, and extends over
a period of twenty-three years, and thousands upon
thousandsof cases. Whysufferinsilenceanylonger,
my sister, when youean gethelpforthe asking? Don'tfeartoteil hereverything,
The case of Mrs. Colony, whose letter to Mrs. Pinkham we publish, is an
illustration of the good to be received from Mrs. Pinkham's advice ; here is a
woman who was sick for years and could get no relief-—at last in despair she
wrote to Mrs. Pinkham-—received in return a prompt, sympathetic and inter-
ested reply. Note the result and go and do likewise,
“I was troubled with such an aching in my back and hips, and I felt so tired
all the time, and had for four years. For the last year it was all I could do to
drag around. I would have such a ringing ip my head by spells that it seemed
as though I would grow crazy. 1 ached from my shoulders to my feet and
was very nervous. 1 was also troubled with a white discharge. I wrote to Mrs.
Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. , received a prompt reply and followed her advice, and
now 1 have no backache and begin to feel as one ought: in fact, I never felt bet-
ter in ten years than I do now. 1 thank God that I went doctoring with Mrs,
Pinkham when 1 did, for if I had not 1 know I would have been in my grave.”
