The son of Ruth and Boas was Obed, father of Jesse and grandfather of David, therefore an ancestor of Joseph and Mary.But let Father Murphy tell it. You see Naomi and her husabnd getting ready to pull up stakes and start out to find a new home in a foreign and unfriendly country. They even have to sacrifice their home in order to get a yoke of oxen and a cart to haul their few belongings. The hostile Moabites, who worshipped idols, resented the newcomers and their religion. Event after event is vividly portrayed, the slaying of Elimelech and his sons out-rivalling some of today’s thrillers. Then the return of the two women to Bethlehem and the jealousy and hatred that is shown to the Moabitess, Ruth.Father Murphy hints that the cave of Ruth’s time was perhaps the same one in which, generations later, Joseph and Mary found refuge on that “Holy Night” when the angels sang because the long yearned-for Messiah was born.“The Song of the Cave” is a wonderful story told in a faseiantjng way.“NO TIME FOR FEAR.*’ by Daven- could learn to have confidence m port Steward, (Hale Publishing God like he does in his daddy.
