THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FOUR Thursday, July 15, 1948. WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT All Types of Women BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D.D. "THE 20ih century, in spite of two world wars, has seen much ad vancement in what we commonly call "the emancipation of women." Not only in the most progressive democracies, but even in backward countries, women have become voters and have now an active part in almost every phase of pub lic life. But when one looks over the vast field of history an amazing thing is the discovery of the way in which, even in times and places in which the position of women was inferior to that of men, wom en have occupied positions of great power and dominance. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes in characters and ac tions strangely blended of both good and evil. Women have been powerful as queens and warriors, as sirens luring men to destruc tion, and as ambitious wives and mothers. One thinks of queens, like Cleo patra, Catherine of Russia, and Elizabeth of England; of warriors, like Boadicea and Joan of Arc; of ambitious women, like the mother of George III, whose admonition to her son, "George, be king," had j something to do with the revolt of the American colonies. "MOW, in the Bible, all these phases of women in outstand ing character and action are fully represented. There is the great judge-warrior, Deborah (Judges 5); the good and pure Hannah, OUR CHURCHES "ine cnurch or tne . juuineran Hour" Cleo Kautsch, Pastor 9:30 A. M.

All thee, and many more.N are there in the pages of the Oldj Testament. j But a whole book of the Old Testament, the Book of Ruth, is devoted to the story of two wom en, one an Israelite, the other a Moabitess. Their character shines with undiminished beauty, as types of noble womanhood, as true for our time as for that ancient day in which they lived, suffered and triumphed. That story is commonly empha sizeu as an example vi incuuauip and womanly devotion. It is all the more remarkable because it relates to daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, who don't always get on so harmoniously. But the story is a great deal more than that. If Ruth is a type of the loyal, devoted woman, Naomi, the mother-in-law. is a tvDe of worn- i anly courage in adversity the 1 type so common an the pioneer history of our country.
