The Choice of a Husband
“The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.”—Ruth 1:9.
This was the prayer of pious Naomi for Ruth and Orpah, and is an appropriate prayer now in behalf of unmarried womanhood. Naomi, the good old soul, knew that the devil would take their cases in hand if God did not, so she prays: “The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.”
In this series of sermons on “The Wedding Ring” I last Sabbath gave prayerful and Christian advice to men in regard to the selection of a wife, and to-day I give the same prayerful and Christian advice to women in regard to the selection of a husband, but in all these sermons saying much that I hope will be appropriate for all ages and all classes.
