- ■ rn. n/ i-F • Williamston N. C. Sept. 23, 1895. Elder Lee Hanks Boston Ga 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. Arlen Ga, Not. 2nd 1895. I Elder A. V. Simms. 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 J. Ja Smith. ' 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. Acijnj Copeland. APPOINTMENTS. For Elder A. W. Patterson in the Ochlockonee, Union, Pulaski and Suwannee Associations.
