The last sight they had of the tall dignified figure of the old lady was under the arch of the cathedral, where she was going to pray for their safety.

If Ruth's temper lived in our families, they would be true 'houses of God' and 'gates of heaven. We hear in Ruth's words also that forsaking of all things which is an essential of all true religion.

The coming to Naomi of the gift of speech had seemed to banish from his mind the dark spirit of the past. He had no heart for reprisals upon the enemies who had sought to kill him.
