character of Ruth. The city of Beth
ieheui Ik famine stricken. Klimelech
auci Ilia wife, whose name wax Naomi,
together with their two sons immi-
grate, because of the famine, to th«
land of Moab. It was a very unusual
occasion for an inhabitant of Beth-
lehem to move to foreign soil. It win
uot unlike going Into a land of strange
gods in the land of Moab this im-
migrant family did not prosper.
Klinielech died shortly after their ar
rival in the land of Moab, leaving
Naomi a widow Her two sons, wiioa
they tiud taken witti them on their
migrating-journey, married and offered
ho support to their widowed mother.
The two sons subsequently died, leav-
ing Naomi without husband or chil-
dren Her only relations in the new
lund were tier two daughters-in-law,
Orpah and Until. A very important
decision on the part of Naomi to re
turn to tier native land led to a meet-
Ing of farewell with her two daugh-
ters-in-law. She told them that there
was no future hope for her in the
land of Moab, and that the wisest
tiling for tier to do was to go hack
Home, and under no circumstance*
were the daughters in law to go with
her. They wi re both young and beau
tiful. Fortunes awaited them if they
would remain in the land of Moab. A
very unusual tiling happened. Ruth,
one of the daughters-in-law, volun-
tarily agreed not to remain in the land
of Moati. hut to return to Itethlehem
with her mother-in-law. Naomi did
not ask her to go with her. Ruth’s
decision was simple, direct, and en
tircly of tier own free choice. It was
a wonderful (>onfession of loyalty.
Being a daughter of foreign soil, it was
a sacrifice for Kuth not only to giv«
up her opportunities in Moab but iilse
to return to a land she had never seen
and where she would he regarded as a
stranger of another land. The words
in which Ruth expressed her loyalty
to Naomi have become a choice pas-
sage in literature. “Entreat me not
to leave thee nor to return from fol-
lowing afler tiiee. Where I lion goest,
] will go, where thou lodgest, I will
lodge. Thy people shall be my peo-
ple, ami thy Cod my < :"<l Where
thou diest I will die. and there will I
be hurled. The l.qrd do to me. and
more also if aught hut death part time
and me.' So Ruth went with Naomi
to Bethlehem.
A decision in an important crisis
in life is not difficult to make if one
has the moral reserve strength suf-
ficient for both the surrender and sac-
rifice. Kuth possessed this quality.
The experience of her daily life was
of such a character as developed those
qualities which made her a strong,
noble, and brave woman, a woman
who possessed decision and poise.
She knew how to mnke up her mind
and also to act upon her decision.
Such « quality of character reaps It*
own reward. It was true In the ca-
reer of Ruth. With Naomi she ar-
rived in Bethlehem in the season of
the barley harvest. In order that she
might not become a burden to Naomi
she gleaned in the fields of Boaz. The
romance between Boaz and Ruth was
beautifully tender. A rich owner of
barley fields fell in love with a woman
of the very poor class. The marriage
cf Boaz and Ruth not only brought
supreme happiness to both, hut also
through their marriage they became
direct ancestors of the Messiah. Ruth
solved her life’s problem not because
she was beautiful or intellectually bril-
liant, or even clever. She won the
victory in battling with the problem*
of life because she had the courage to
act upon the conviction which her
character was strong enough to maka

only a hundred years since the first
pumping station In this country start-
ed to pump. Chicago was our first
city to have a real sewerage system,
and that was not until 18fi5. We had
no public baths until 1801. Even to-
day some families think so little of
their bathtubs that they use them for

The science of living, or sanitation
—they mean the same—has to do with

—comfort, health, ambition, efficiency,
happiness. Where sanitation is a

“Billingsgate”
Billings was the name of one of the
gates at the east end of London. Why
It was so called Is unknown, but It
was probably named after a man
named Billings. Near'this gate Is a
famous London flshmarket known as
the Billingsgate market. Records
show that this market existed even
before the Norman conquest. “Billings-
gate” came to be used as a synonym
of coarse, vulgar and profane language
because It was the most usual lan-
guage used at the market by the fish-
mongers sad thalr wives. As early as
the Seventeenth century “billingsgate'
Was widely employed to signify foul
or abusive language. There is still ■
