A FARMER'S WIFE
THE STORY OF RUTH.
IN the district called Ephrath, belonging to the tribe of Judah, stood
the city of Bethlehem, or "house of bread." It was a city with walls
and gates, and lay between fruitful hills and well-watered valleys.
There among pleasant cornfields and pasture lands lived a man
named Elimelech, which means "my God is my King." He was
descended from one of the princes of Judah, and was a man of
means and consequence.
A FERTILE REGION IN PALESTINE.
Elimelech's wife was named Naomi, meaning "pleasant," and they
had two sons whose names were Mahlon and Chilion. This old and
noble family lived in this fertile region, amid pleasant surroundings,
and with happy prospects, until one of the frequent famines that
were brought on by want of rain visited their district.
"THE PARCHED AND STERILE FIELDS."
Leaving the parched and sterile fields around Bethlehem, Elimelech,
his family and his flocks, left their home and settled in the rich and
well-watered lands of the Moabites, beyond the Jordan. As a wealthy
foreigner, he probably was well received by the people of Moab, and
secured good pasturage for his sheep and cattle.
SEEKING PASTURAGE FOR HIS SHEEP.
But much trouble was in store for this family, notwithstanding its
wealth had enabled them to leave their own famine-stricken lands.
First Elimelech died, and the family was without a head.
ON THE WAY TO THE LAND OF MOAB.
Then Mahlon married a beautiful woman of the country in which he
was then living, named Ruth, and his brother Chilion married
another named Orpah. Such marriages were against the law of
Moses, because the Moabites worshipped idols, but as the nation
was descended from Lot, the nephew of Abraham, the marriages
were not so bad as they would have been with women belonging to
other of the different tribes of Canaan.

After a while both of the sons of Naomi died, and she was left a
childless widow in a strange land. By her gracious ways she had won
the affection of both Ruth and Orpah, and now sorrow locked their
hearts together in sympathy. At length, Naomi turned her longing
eyes to her old home in Bethlehem. Ten years had come and gone
since she left it, and now the news had reached her that there was
plenty of food there.
Naomi and her two daughters-in-law started on their way to the land
of Judah. After a while, thinking that they had accompanied her far
enough, Naomi bade Ruth and Orpah return to their own mothers'
homes, and spoke very kindly to them. She kissed them and would
have taken leave of them, but they insisted that they would go with
her to the home of her own people.
"NAOMI BID RUTH AND ORPAH RETURN."
Then Naomi suggested that they would not be welcome at
Bethlehem because they were Moabites. They would be looked upon
with reproach, strangers in a strange land, and again she pleaded
with them to go home, lest their love for her should prove a sorrow
to them.
BETHLEHEM.
Orpah was persuaded to return and settle down among her kindred,
and probably did so from a sense of duty; but Ruth would not leave
Naomi, although her mother-in-law gave her one more opportunity
to go back to Moab.
The chief cause for separation, according to Naomi, was, not that
they belonged to different races, but that they did not worship the
same God. But Ruth, in words at once pathetic and sincere, unselfish
in spirit and expression, declared her resolve.
"Intreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after
thee: for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest I will
lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: where
thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me,
and more also, if aught but death part thee and me."
"'INTREAT ME NOT TO LEAVE THEE.'"
Ruth gave up father and mother, friends and relatives, religion and
country, and chose poverty and a life among strangers because of
her love for Naomi, and her trust in Naomi's God. They reached
Bethlehem about the beginning of the barley harvest, and secured
some kind of a home.
The city of Bethlehem was stirred by the return of Naomi. She had
left them accompanied by husband and sons, and in prosperity. She
returned, altered in circumstances, changed in appearance, and
accompanied only by a Moabitish woman.

Her friends could hardly believe their eyes, and exclaimed, "Is this
Naomi?" To which she would reply, "Call me not Naomi, 'pleasant,'
call me Mara, 'bitter,' for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with
me." There was much surprise shown at the return of Naomi with
Ruth, but there is no record that people were helpful or even kind to
them, and probably the first thing they had to do was to secure
food.
