Dear Brother: Your postal re
questing mv views on the pearl of
great price was forwarded tn me
dating my recent tour in Virginia
and Maryland. I returned home
last week, and reply as soon as I
could well find the time.
Some supposes, that by the
‘merchant-man seeking good!}
pearls” Christ means himself, and
by “the pearl of great price” He
means His Church, which He loves
above all things else, and for the
possession of which He parts with
His divine glory and His human
life itself, thus accomplishing her
eternal redemption ( Eph. v. 25-27 ,
2 Cor. viii 9). But I think that
it is more in accordance with the
other six parables in Matt. xiii. to
understand by the merchant-man
the travailing soul, the sin-burden
ed sinner, seeking spiritual goo s,
release from the guilt and power of
sin, and finding, in the oerson and
work and sufferings and death and
resurrection and intercession of
Christ, the pearl of great price, all
his salvation and all his desire J
for the possession of which incom
parable treasure he is willing, it
necessary, to part with a 11 besides,
with all natural riches and honors
and pleasures and wisdom and self
righteousness and with natural life
itself. No human being obtains
Christ, who does not esteem Him
as of infinitely more value than all
besides; and no one who does so
esteem Christ wilt fail to obtain
Him. He is already a member oi
“the kingdom of heaven,” to whom
sin is the greatest burden, and
Christ thegreatest desire; and the
glorious and pure and imperisha
ble riches of that kingdom are his
forever.
Yours in love,
Sylvester Hassell.

WOMEN WORKERS MEET.
Valdosta. District Missionary
Meeting in this City.
The annual meeting of the Wo
man’s Foreign Missionary Society,
of the Valdosta district, was held
in the Methodist church here,
commencing with an address of
welcome by Miss Lilia Whitting
ton and a response by Alias Gussie
Barnes of Quitman, last Friday
night. Nearly every society in the
district was represented by a dele-
gate and the meeting is said to
have been one of the most pleas
ant ever held in the district. The
business meeting was held on Sat
urday morning and the reports
from the various societies over
the district demonstrated the
vigor with which the women are
doing their work towards Chris
tianizing the world.—Valdosta
Times.
And the “report” given in the
New Testament demonstrates, not
only the vigor, but the power of
Jesus of Nazareth in Christianiz
ing the world,” but we had not
known before that there were
any successors to his office. Give
us another verse brother
Pendleton.—8.
Then I looked on all the works
that my hands had wrought, and
on the labour that I bad laboured
to do: and, behold, all was vanity
fthd vexation of and there
was do’ pfcffit under t'hd sun.

Dear brother:— 1 was at Upper i
Utt’s Creek cbnrchlast Saturday
apd Stind mh! the meeting j
truly delightful. The same Spirit ,
that made the Association j
pleasant, prevailed with us, and |
everything was lovely indeed.
Two young ladies was received for
baptism—a Miss Mollie Jones,
(daughter of sister Menerve
Jones) and Miss Debby Parrish.
They brought the pure language
of Canaan, with so much comfort
to the whole church.
sister Cartie, who was receive at <
the Association,^ereall baptized
Sunday morning. The sight w’as
so beautiful and heavenly, till I
felt to say with Jacob of old,“This
is none other than the house of
God, and the gate of heaven.” Oh
fiow I dread the winter that will
probably- come after a while. 1
remember you said in your sermon
l “The storm will surely come,”
: I remain as ever your brother

' OBITUARY.
3 MRS. LILLIE ROBERSON.
3 Mrs. Lillie Roberson, wife of
’ W. R. Roberson, was born Janua
i ry 23rd 1862 and fell asleep ini
Jesus August 31st 1895 after a
> protracted spell of sickness. She
1 leaves a heart-broken husband,
i and three little girls, with other
1 relatives, and a host of friends to
I mourn their loss. Her sufferings
1 were great, but it is now all over
■ and she is asleep in Jesus, waiting
J for that glorious, immortalized
body that shall come forth in its
glorified state at the second com
ming of Jesus.
She was truly a Christian woman,
j a devoted companion, and loving
, mother. She desired to depart
j and be with Jesus which she said
* far better. Ts er only earthly
fiTwa®
• rl ftrnr- l . .p;, r *'
Oh I MoIW, grieve no!
Let all your grief be for my
darling little children, for Jesus 1
has called for me and I Must go.’* ®
She talked of Jesus and his love, 1
all through her illness. Pour sis- ■
ter 1 how she suffered. Some of 1
our preachers visited and preached c
for her, during her illness and '
many other saints spoke words of c
comfort to.her—all of which she 1
greatly enjoyed.
A short time before her death
Y she had a vision in which she saw
the same beautiful man in Ins
long white robe, standing on that
- same white marble stone which
, she had seen in her experience,
1 and in talking about it afterwards
? she seemed to be perfectly happy.
May the Lord comfort all the be
’ letved ones.
