It I* always a aad spectacle to witness the struggles-of a [.eople to preaerve thWr ancient liberties. But the spectacle Is not new (or us. Early In tbe nineteenth century the liberals of Enrol* looked for the Intervention of this country at the time of the dlapembcnnrnt of Poland. More recenty the Boer cause appealed to oqr aympathlcs as the champion of the rights of man. But while posing as on-wsylum for the iK.lltlcally oppressed the American republic has never set up as the physical diamplon of oi.prcsaed peoples of the old world. Otherwise we would long ago bare lntcn>osed against the atrocities of Turkey, the oppression In Bussls and above all the cruelties of the Belgian Kongo rule. China was Korea's natural protector af .against Japanese aggression, and Bussla stood next. Tbe defeat of China by Japan In ISDu was the beginning of the cad. Ten years later recognised by tbe treaty of Portsmouth Jspan's right to exercise a protectorate over Korea. The moral side of tbs case remains to be developed.. Japan claims to be engaged In a laudable and beneficent. euterjirljie la Korea. And she now has a free hand except as the natives themselves put up a fight of resistance.

Comment and Buggeetlve Thought. The Two Decisions.—The two widowed dsogbters-ln-law, Orpsh. the "Fswn." and Ruth, “the R Moab." went part of ths way Naomi off. as friends and relatives were accustomed to do. aad as Is tbs custom In the east. When the time came to part, when they had kissed each other and wept toceU» r - both declared they would not return, but would go with her to Drael. “Like a wise woman, she declined to take advantage of the Impulse of passion ate regret, which teemed adverse to their temporal welfare, and which their cooler judgment might not sanction. and urged them, by many strong arguments, to retorn." “Ood wrestled with Jacob with deal re to qtiered: so NkOMj. no a°o*>t. opposed Rnth. hoping and wishing that she herself might be foiled.”—T. Fuller. She would have Ruth fully understand her own mind, and realise what the decision would cost hsr. So In the parable of Christ (Lpke 14: 16-33) So Joshua. In his farewell address te his people, when urging them with all his soul to be true to their Ood. ever after their—declaration—"Ood forbid that we should forsake the L*>rd"— tolls them. ~Ye cannot serve the Lord" (Josh. 34: 31). Orpsh decides to go back people. There was little to attract her to a new and strange home, with poverty In proa pect. with little hope that she would be welcome to the exclusive Jews, to whom, as well as to her mother, she might-become s burdi nothing to attract her except love religion. Neither of these did sh* possess In s degree snSclent to over come the obstacles In the way. We do not know whether she returned tbe worship of Idols or whether she, at least In private, clung to the religion and the Ood she had learned from Naomi Ruth, with a deeper nature aad clearer Insight, with a love to Naomi that would cheer and strengthen her. and n consciousness of her need of God and love to Ood that made other blessings as nothing In comparison. clave onto Naomi, and. like Mary, chose the good part which shall not be taken away from her. V. 16. “And Ruth said." “Ruth'r passionate burst of tenderness Is Immortal. It has pat Into fitting words for all generations the thoughts of loving hearts, aad comes to us over all the centuries betwi as warm aad living as when It wel up from that pure, heroic soul. The two strongest emotions of onr nature are blended In It. and each gives a portion of Its fervor—lore and religion.”
