Washington, April 25.—The sermon cf Dr. Talur.’.no which wo send out to day could not have been prepared by uuy cue not born in the country. It is full of the breath of the fields. The text is Ruth ii, 3, “And she went and came and in the ehureh, and in the world, that through darkness and storm and trouble men, women, churches, nations, are developed. Faithful Friends. Again, I see in my text the beauty of unfaltering friendship. I suppose there were plenty of friends for Naomi while she was in prospi rity, hut of all her ac- and gleaned in the field after the reap- quaiutanecs how many were willing to looked out on the wreck of trth. Christ, hounded of p rseeutors, de nied a pillow, worse maltreated than tin* thieves on either side of the cross, human hate smacking its lips in satis faction after it had been draining its so it is individually, and in the family, las*, drop of blood, the sheeted dead ers, ai.d her bap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was cf the kindred of Elimelech. ” The time that Ruth and. Naomi ar rive at Bi thlehem is harvest time. It was the custom when a sheaf fell from a load in the harvest field for the reapers to refuse to gather it up. That was to be left for the poor who might happen to come along that way. If there were handfuls of grain scattered across the field after the main harvest trudge off with her toward Judah, when she had to make that lonely journey? One—the heroine of my text. One—ab solutely one. I suppose when Naomi’s husband was living, and they had plen ty of money, and all things went well, they had a g»c.«t many callers, hut 1 suppose that after her husband died, and her prop< rty went, and she got old and poor, she was not troubled viry much with callers. All the birds that sung in the bower while the sun sheno bursting from the sepulchers at his cm rufixiou! T< 11 me, () (Hcthr unane and Golgotha, were there over darker times than those? Like the booming of the midnight sea aga nst the rock, the surges of Christ’s anguish beat against the gates of eternity, to be echoed back by all the thrones of heaven and all the dungeons of hell. Er.t the day of re ward conies for Christ. All the pomp and dominion of this world are to he hung on his throne, crowned heads are to bow before him on whose head are ! many crowns, and all the celestial wor ship is to come up at his feet, like the word of comfort! We want more A hi- "Ah,” said Spinola, “that’s enough to kill any general of us!” Oh, can it he : possible in this world, where there is so much suffering to be alleviated, so much darkness to be enlightened and so many burdens to bo carried, that there is any person who emmet find anything to do?” Mine, de Stud did a world of work in her time, and one day, while she was seated amid instruments of music, all of which she had mastered, and amid manuscript books which sho had writ ten, some one said to her, “How do you find time to attend to all these tilings?” “Oh,” she replied, “these are not the tilings 1 am proud of. My chief boast, is in the fact, that I have 17 trades, by any one of which I could make a livelihood if necessary. ” And, if in secular spin res I there is so much to be done, in spirit- j uul work how vast the field!

But, you say, “What is the use of all these har vest fields to Ituth and Naomi? Naomi is too old and f< cblo to go out and toil iu the sun, and can you expect that Ruth, the young and the beautiful, should tan her cheeks and blister her bands in the harvest field?” Boaa owns a large farm, and he goes out to SCO the reapers gather in the grain. Corning there, right behind the swarthy, sun browned reapers', he be holds a be autiful woman gleaning—a woman mors fit to l . ml to a harp or sit upon a throne, than to ; oop among the sheaves. Ah, that was an eventful day! Oh. the se beautiful sunflowers that spre ael out their e eih.r in the morning heiur! But they are' always aslee*p when the' eun is gejiug elown.

Importance of Little- Thing;*. Again, I learn from my subject that events which seem to he most insignifi cant may be momentous. Can you im agine anything more unimportant than the* coming eif a poor woman from Meath gails, more Hannahs, more Rebeccas, more Marys, more* Deborahs, consecrat ed, body, mind, soul, to the Lord who bought them. Gle-anin;. Once more I le arn from my subject the value ejf gle aning. Ruth going into that harvest field might have said: “There is a straw, and there is a straw, hut what is a straw? I can't get any barlej* for my self or my mother-in-law out e*f the se separate straws.” Neit so saiel beautiful Ruth. Sho gathered two straws, and she put th« ui together, unel more to Judah? Can you imagine anything straws, until she got enough to make a more trivial than the: fact that this Ruth just happened to alight—as they say— just happened to alight on that field cf Boaz? Yet all ages, all generations, have* an interest in the fact that she* was to hecorao an ancestress of the Lord Je sus Christ, and all nations and king doms must look at that one little iuci- all the imputations rush on ! dent with a thrill cf unspeakable and jreak down in a day that oternul satisfaction. So it is in your she'af. Putting that down, she* *. t and gathered mem* straws, until she had another sheaf, and another, and anoth er, and another, and then she brought them together, and she threshed them out, ami she had an ephah of barley, nigh a bushel.
