After awhile Naomi, although she highly prised the company of her two daughters-ln-law, attempted again to persuade them to goback because of the hardship and self denial through which they would be obliged to go.

Not so with her sister Orpah. Her deter mination had already been shaken. The length and perilof the journeyhegan to appall her, and shahad worshi the gods of Moabso long that it was to give them up. From that point turned back.the paru’ng being daacrl in the words of my text: And they lifted up their voice and wept again and Orpah rm her mothsr—in-law, but Ruth clove unto her. onrau's courassrox For: sacral. Learn from this story of Orpah that acme of those who do not leave the Much of their lulqultlea are persons of fine sua- ceptibllity. It was compassion for Naomi, in her widowhood and sorrow. that.- led Orpah to start with her toward Bethlehem. It was not because of any luck of nfl’ection forher that she turned back. We know this from the grief exhibited at. parting. I donut know but. that aha had as much warmth and ardor of nature as Ruth, but she lacked the counsel! and persistence of her sister. That there are many with as line ounce tibillty as Orpah who will not take up t rows: and follow Christ is a truth which needshut little demonstration. Many of those who have become the fol- lowers of Jesushave but very little natural lmprusihllity. Grace often takes hold of .thahardast heart. and the moat unlovely character-and transforms it.

Tho great captain of out niratiouhfl forced his way into many an armed castle. I doubt not that Christ could have found many a fish-man naturally more noble hearted than Simon Peter, but there was noone by whose conversion he could more gloriously have magnified his grace. The cunveraion of a acoreof Johns would not have illustrated the power of the Holy Ghost-s much as the conversion of one Peter. It would have been easier to drive twenty lambs like John into the fold than to tame one lion like Peter. God has often made some of his moat emcieut servants out of men naturally unimpreaalonable.

The observers turn their “tendon another way; they say: ' is safe enough, she has gone to Bet chem.” Alas! alas! Starting out. for heaven is a verydltferent thing from arriving there. Remember Lot’s wife. She looked back with longing to the place from which she amend was destroyed. Half way he, hears Sodom and the city of refuge that strange storm comes upon her, and its salt and brimstone gather on her garments un- til lbeyars so stiffened she cannot proceed, nor can she lie down because of this dread ful wrapping around her garments and limbs, and long after her life has gone aha still stands there, so covered up by the strange storm that she is called a pillar of salt, as some sailor on ship's deck in the wintry tempest stands covered with a mi! of tee. Ten thousand timeateu thousand men have been destroyed half way between Sodom and the city of refuge. Orpah might as well never have started as after- ward to turn back. Yet multitudes have walked in her footsteps. Go among those the least interested in sacred things, and you will find that they were ones out of the land of Moab. Every one of them Kn? right heartily and studied his 'b and frequented the sanctuary, but Im’awlfs looked back wistfully to Sodom and Orpah retreated from the company oi Ruth and Naomi. it is an lmprrdvr thought that after Orpah had gone so far as actually to look over into the land of Bethlehem she turned back and died in Moab. "mv ur‘rrm 11- run: voles asn wm." Again, let our subject impress upon us the truth that those who have can felt it their duty to leave their natural state can not give up their duty and go back to hard- ness of heart without a struggle. After Orpah had thoroughly made up her mind to go back to the place from which she started she went through the and scene of parting with Both and Naomi. My text am, “They lifted up their voice and wept." Ah, my bearer, it requires more decision and perseverance to stay away from the kingdomof God thantoenter it.

Luvs xx cunlsr; DEAD ix sxx. Again, this subject teaches that a re liglous choice and the want of it frequent. divide families. Ruth and Orpah and Naomi were tenderly attached. They were all widows, and their life had been conse crated by abaptisrn of tears. in the firs oftrial their affections had been forged. Together they were so pleasantly united youcau hardly imagine them separated Yet. a fatal line is «trawn dividing them from each other, perhaps forever. Xaomi cannot live in a heathen country. She must go into Bethlehem, that there among the pious she may worship the true God. Ruth makesasimilar choice, but. Orpah rebels "And they lifted up their voice and wept. again. and Orpah kissed her mother~in-law, but Ruth clave unto her." The history of this family of Elimelech is the of many families of this day.

Again, this subject suggests to me two of the prominent reasons why people re» fuse the kingdom of Christ. There may have been many other reasons why Orpah left her sister and mothsr-in-law and want haekhmnahuttherewerotworwons which I think wen we prominent than the rest. She had been brought up in idol- atria. She loved the heathen gods which her ancestors had worshiped, and though these blocks of wood and stone could not bear she thought they could lmar, and though they could not see she thought they could see, and though they could not fealshothought they could feel.
