The decorative feature of the medals ‘which are offered is a fig- ure of Ruth, and the appropriateness of this selection is set forth by R. B. Ogilyie in the following words: “Language has never told a sweet- er story than the one pertaining to the Moabitish damsel, the filial Ruth, as we see her with modest mien and downeast eye gleaning the barley stalks; and we are pleased to note that this poor dutiful, early widow- ed harvest girl, as she shyly sat be- side the reapers and shared their frugal fare, subsequently became the wife of the princely Boaz, and later the grandmother of that great He- brew bard and King, whose songs to- day make music in every Sanctuary, and melody in every Christian heart.
