"THE DAYLCY . TTIMES-GAZET TE: SATURDAY, MAYS; 1048 . Family Loyalty--A Fine Way. of Life SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR SUNDAY, MAY. 16,1948 By NEWMAN CAMPBELL 'The other-in- law joke--and its j endless variations--is one of the | oldest wheezes in the drab history "of alleged humor. It pictures the mother-in-law as a selfish, unrea- sonable, jealous harpy--the source of misunderstandings between the young married couple. In actuality, to millions of happy women the mother-in-law and daughter-in.law relationship is a very real and fine thing, with older and younger women gaining a deep understanding which blos- -- into life-long affection. The life together of Ruth and Naomi is the classic example of such a rela- tionship. The Biblical story of Ruth and Naomi exemplifies the spirit of two affectionate and fine women whose first thoughts were not of themselves but of each other. It is one mother.in-law story that is splendid and inspiring. Naomi was a Jewish woman who, with her husband and two sons, had left her native land and gone to Moab, an ancient country situated on a plateau on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. The Moabites were Semitic, with a language much like that of the Hebrews. It was a time of famine in Israel when Na- omi's family migrated to this coun- try and stayed there. Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and the sons, Mahlon and Chilion, married Moabite women. Then both sons died, leaving Naomi wid- owed and childless. Naomi decided that she would return: to her old home, and her two daughters-in. law, Ruth and Orpah, went with her until Naomi told them to re- turn to their mothers' homes, say- ing, "The Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and wit hme. The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband." Naomi kissed her daughters-in. law, they all wept, and the daugh- ters said to her, "Surely we will re- turn with thee unto thy people." Orpah finally turned back, but Ruth pleaded with Naomi not to insist on the younger woman re- turning to Moab. Ruth's earnest pledge of life-long loyalty touched the older woman's heart and she consented to bring the widowed girl with her to Israel. the | time, so Ruth So: the two. went on. together' to Bethlehem, and there they gaused quite a stir in the town. Old friends asked, "Is this Naomi?" and she answered, . out 'of 'her .desolation, "Call me not Naomi (which means Pleasant), call me Mara (which means' Bitter)." Then Naomi told them of the loss of. her husband and sons. When Naomi and Ruth came to Judah it was the barley harvest suggested that she go into the: fields to glean behind the reapers, to get food for the two of ithem. Naomi had a kinsman named Boaz who was 'a mighty man of wealth," we are told, and it was. to his field Ruth went. Boaz saw the young woman and asked his reapers who she was. One man- answered that: she was the Moabite damsel who had come back with Naomi. Boaz then told Ruth to keep with his young women gleaners, for he had spoken to his told them not to molest way, and when she was | of the 'water the Ruth was = touched by this kindness that she "fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground" as was the quaint custom of the time, and asked him why he was so kind to her. Boaz said that he had heard of her goodness to her mother-in-law, his kinswoman Na- omi, and that the Lord would rec- ompense her. Then he told her that when she was hungry she was to join the reapers at. their meal. Further, he commanded his reap. ers not only to -l1ét her reap, but to leave extra gleanings for her to take. Boag' interest ih Ruth. did not rest there. As a.relative of Naomi and her late husband, Elimelech, he redeemed a parcel of land that was their inheritance. Finally, he "took her to wife," and in time she bore him a son. All this time Naomi had lovingly encouraged and advised Ruth in all that she. did. When Ruth's child was born, Naomi's cup of happiness was full, She "took the child and lajd it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it." Naomi's women friends and neighbors called the baby Obed, and he became the father of Jesse, and grandfather of David, who became king. T.U.C.A. Activities By MARION STARK The meet! with the reading of the minutes by Bob Tur- ney and the treasurer's report. The president then took over the meeting and the following. changes were made: In the future, at all meetings, the members of execu tive will be in a group, slightly. apart from the other members. Anyone wishing to speak (during a discus- sion) will quietly obtain the presi- dent's attention, and, after receiv- ing her nod, will take the floor. This system is going to be used to try to avoid too many unnecessary ar- guments, and thus, cut down.the time taken yp for business, Ken Brisebois, organizer and 3u- pervisor of T.U.CA., was again present. He recommended' Don Dul- mage for the position of asdistant supervisor. The members enthusias- tically agreed and Don is "in". Con- gratulations and good luck! Week-end plang include bowling, Saturday night as usual, (7:45 May- fair Lanes), and the all-day bicycle, hike mentioned last week. The time and place is still the same, 10:30, Alexandra Park. Don't forget your lunches! (and friends). An all-day hike is being, discussed for the 24th of May. It will not be a bicycle hike, and tite time and ' place of meeting will be decided next week, A public dance, open to all teen- agers (or a bit older), is being plan- ned. It will be held sometime near the end of May, at the Masonic Temple. There is mo other informa- on at present, but more will be id about it later. Next week's meeting will. be held at Ken Brisebois' home, 92 Arling- ton Ave. at the usual time, 7:30. We had a nice crowd this week folks, let's keep it up. The entertainment committee for Milagro Joly Bob Elston, Bill Burnett and Marion Stark. For the week following it is Norma Bol- bas, Marg Drummond, Don Dul- mage, and Rae Irwin. This week's entertainment com- mittee, Bob Martin, Ann Burnett and Dolores Flube, took over the meeting for the remainder of the evening, and an enjoyable hour fol- lowed. Bob proved his powers of a magician; and many people, for the sake of a bubble gum contest, learn- ed how to blow bubbles. The meeting closed, as usual, with The Lords .Prayer, followed by shouts of "See you Sunday!" London -- (CP) -- More = than 25,500,000 books were issued to bor. rowers by public libraries in Lon- don during 1947. Jousting With The Inevitable | sy JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE | | If some of the more vocal politi- cal : opponents of freight rate in- creases were to devote these] ves to ironing out the real difficulties they might . deserve well of their countrymen. The real difficulty is that increases bear more heavily on one section 'than'another, for rere geographic reasons. It is an ob- vious fact, 'and a. difficult. one .te adjust. 'Probably . it will never be | adjusted to everyone's: satisfaction. | Rate increases are as inevitable as the steady; cliapb of other prices | and railroads can. no more operate | at a lossithan' a family can live | without 'food, but' something might | be' done about adjusting inequali- | ties, During the war 'tie. railroads | made unaccustomed profits. These have served to. confuse the issue further, for the profits were not quite real. They resulted partially from the fact that capital expendi- tures for sérvices and maintenance of way and roiling stock had been reduced to a minimum, The public itself ,has protested the long-con- tinued use of*wooden coaches. They would - not permit 'roadbeds to" re- main .in their wartime condition. Then it' was necessity. Now 'it is merely. cost. 8o.the' so-called pro- fits, to some extent at least, were merely a pyramiding 'of. charges that one day must be met. This is that day. Vast outlays can no longer be avoided, if \we are to have the service we demand, and the safety we demand, and price mar- kets are no kinder; to railroads than tosothers. . - Yet, many who: have justified largely increased commodity prices and substantially 'increased wages |. in. all branches of industry fail to realize the inescapable fact that circumstances are no different for railroads because they deliver ser- vices rather than commodities. The only possible alternative to rate in- creases is that offered by Trans- port Minister Chevrier--the amal- gamation of the two roads. under government ownership. That of- fers a small promise of improve- ment. The government road is deeper in debt than the private, and amalgamation would do little to re- lieve that ghuasion. It would do a lot to limit: the comfort and quality of the service rendered. It is not a matter of avoiding increases, but of how we shall pdy them. It isn't much more painful to pay the nec- essary cost of : adequate service, than to pay for lesser services through added taxation.

Conflict In The Holy Land By REV. R. BARCLAY WARREN Geographically, the Holy Land for which Jews and Arabs are in conflict, is at the center of the land masses of the world. It is. about 180 miles long and 80 miles wide. For centuries before the close of World War I there had been prac- tically no agricultural or industrial development. Now with the oil pipe line to Haifa, supplying the British Mediterranean fleet, the discovery of the fabulous wealth of the Déad Sea and the reclaiming of marsh land for productive orange groves, the land has become of increasing importance. This country has always been of historic importance. - Here most of the events recorded in the Bible took place. It was in a little village near Jerusalem that Jesus was born, His ministry was performed in this area. Neither the Arabs nor the. Jews accept 'Jesus Christ as the Son of God. The Arabs are Mohammedans who recognize Jesus only as a prophet and that inferior to Mo- hammed. The Jews, with some in- dividual exceptions, do not adcept Jesus Christ as the promised Mes- saih. The descendants of Ishmael, intermarried with neighboring na- tive tribes, form a large proportion of the Arabs, The Jews are des- cendants of Isaac, Abraham's other son. It is an old feud. Meanwhile, Russia's attitude is unpredictable. Events in this tiny land are far more significant than most of us CENTRE ST. UNITED CHURCH MR.
