Love Stories of the Bible. The Bible is the most wonderful book in existance. It contains the way of live history extending hack to creation, literature, narration, poetry and many a love story which sur passes in beauty all other that has ever been told. Jonathan and David swore togeth er fidelity to each other, when they according to the usual practice would have been enemies, for both were heirs to the throne of Israel, they swearing together, "The Lord be between thee and me and between thy sed and my seed forever," and through all the troubulous times that came into their lives, they remained always faithful, their love for one another surpassing their love of the woman. Last week we had the story of the valliant leader who trusted in Je hovah, Gideon, and how he defeated with the Lord and at his command 135,000 Midianites with his three hundred men whom the Lord had se lected. Many years have elapsed, but the conditions were the same and we step aside in the history of the Nations of Israel and take a glimpse in the private life with its prosperities and its adversities, its hardships and its happy time.- with the deaths that came and with the blessings. There was a man of the tribe of Judah, whose name was Elimelich, and he married a woman by name Naomi, they residing near Bethlehem where they had a small plot of land upon which, they lived, but adverse times "came and the drouth was very severe and there was nothing to eat. So this hardy farmer and his heroic wife, hearing that in the east there were good crops, pathered what they had- topejlwr-and departed for some place where they-could eat and make a living, for they were willing to warfc.- Tiicy had been blessed with two boys, one . named . ..Mahlon, .which meant", weakening And "his brother, ChJ.Uon, ..which mean pining. The name' Elinielich meaning "God is King" and the name Naomi meaning sweet or pleassnt. The home at Bethlehem was a very pleasant place to live and heretofore for many years the land had been productive and Bethlehem meant "House of Bread. ; When they had passed over the Jordan7riy!6fr"aha through", the pos sessions of the -children of Israel, they came tot-ife-land of Moah and finding ft a gbo'dly place to live, made their' home there during the - hard time' In Israel. There the two sons of Ihis happy couple grew to man- hood'B estate and married some fair ones of that land, Chilion marrying Orpha, which meant obstinancy, and Mahlon marrying Ruth, which meant friendship, both being most excellent young women, despite the fact that they were not Israelites, and were worshipors of Idols. There were three happy families, but the tide of their lives then ran different, for Elimelich sickened and died, leaving Naomi, whose name meant sweet or pleasant, a - widow and sorrow now came whore "happiness had sat in the family, and which was followed in bnt a short time by the death of the two sons and how different were the three widows, one along in years and the other two young: women. The days of sorrow had surely come and to the elder women the more, for. she had lost her husband and in addition her two sons. The days of mourning, ac cording to usage, had ended, but not in reality, and she concluded she would return to her home land, hav ing heard that there was plenty of crops and plenty to eat. So she told the two young women that she would go. They concluded they would ac company her and they started, with Naomi trying to prevail upon them to remain in their own native land and not accompany her, for they would be in a strange land, with them wor shiping a strange god. As they con tinued to walk (that being the mode of travel) they talked and wept as they were in sorrow, the sorrow of Naomi being very bitter. She said unto Orpha and Ruth, "Remain here, return to your mother's houses and be reconciled." Her talk prevailed on Orpha. the widow of Chilion, and she kiseder mother-in-law, as she bade her good bye and a safe and prosperous journey and lifted up her voice and wept. Ruth would not be persuaded, and clung to her mother- in-law, saying unto her: "Do not try to persuade me to re turn, for Iam going along with you. You blessed my life with a most noble husband, and yon are bereft of your husband, as well as I of mine." Whereupon Naomi again advised her to return with her sister-in-law, but Ruth would not and replied: "En treat me not to leave thee and to re turn from .following thee, for whicher thou goest I will go and where thou lodgest I will lodge; they people shall be my people and thy God my God. Where thou diest, will I die and there will I be buried. Jehovah do bo to me, and more also; let naught but death part thee and me." Thi3 was a pretty strong assertion and it con vinced Naomi it was of no use to argue with her daughter-in-law. We have heard many people deride their mothers-in-law and say all manner of evil things against them, but' if -they have prospered, had a happy family and a good and loving wife from whence has this happiness and happy family and the blessings come but from the gift of th"eniother-in-law.

As he had died childless, the inheritance would come to1 Ruth, but she did not know this. She was allowed to glean after the reapers, and did well, for Boaz. who had come to the fields to inspect the work, told her to come and eat with the others at the noontime, and cautioned the young men who were reaping to in no way interfere with the strange young woman and to not be overly careful in gleaning the fields, but to leave some for her. This they did, and the first day she was able to glean enough to thresh out a bushel of barley, only it was called an Ephah. She returned to Naomi, her mother-in-law, with the grain, and the latter was greatly surprised that she had gotten so much. When she had told her mother-in-law how kind Boaz had been to her, she said to Ruth, "Go and visit him this even ing, as he is winnowing the barley at" the threshing floor," which she did, and they talked, and it became known that Ruth had an interest in the estate of Elimelich, and Boaz fell in love with the comely Moabitess, (another of the love stories of the Bible) and he sent her back to her mother-in-law, Naomi, but on the following day he went to another man who was a nearer relative and to be fair and square said that the field, which was Elimilich's was to be sold, and that as he was the near est relative, he might make the pur chase, but as he feared that this might impair his own inheritance he would not do so. Therefore Boaz made the purchase which also in cluded the marrying of Ruth. To Ruth and Boaz was bcrn a boy, which was called Obed, and in the years which followed he grew to man's estate and married. To him was born Jesse, who was the father of David. This David was the out standing character, through which line was to be born the Christ, in the years which were to come. In the troubulous times when there seemed no safety from the mauraud ing bands which robbed, killed and burned, and when it seemed no man's life was safe, this little romance oc curred and is one of the very beau tiful stories of the Bible. Read the entire book of Ruth and get a glimpse of the beauty of true love and faithfulness rewarded, com ing back to the golden text, which I have borrowed, not the one selected by the International committee.

The likelihood of an early shaking of the supreme court plum tree was predicted in the Lincoln correspond ence in the World-Herald a couple of weeks ago. Announcement at that time of the purpose of the members of the court to hurry new appoint ments through and to name a new clerk in place of Harry Lindsay, brought an avalanche of letters and telegrams to the supreme court cham bers at the capitol from lawyers all over the state asking that Lindsay be retained. Up to that time, it appeared from the volume of protests that came ,in. most of the lawyers in the state were not aware that a movement was afoot to block the reappointment of Lind say.
