MEETING FOR WOMAN.

AS was announced at her service for
women on Monday, Mrs. Pearson chose as
the subject of her address yesterday af-
ternoon, what it is to Abide in Christ
1t was an impressive sequel to the les
son delivered on that occasion, when her
theme was, Living for Christ"
The text of her discourse was the
fifteenth chapter of st. Johns gospel
wherein our Lord likens Himself to a
vine, of which we are the branches,
using as was His custom, simple figure
taken from the natural world about
were perfectly familiar to convey TO
their minds truth of the deepest spirit
ual significance.
First then, this question, viz:
Is it important. is it necessary? Nay,
is it vital that We abide in Christ"
Let us sec Gods answer. abide in
me and I in YOU. AS the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself. except it abide in the
vine; no more can We except we abide in
me- and again eff man abide not in ME
he is cast forth as branch and is
wthered and men gather them and cast
them into the fire and they are burned"
No life then to the branch unless
united to the vine. No spiritual life
therefore apart from union with Christ.
How often one bears a Christian say
timidly he hopes to be able to abide in
Christ. Why is it possible. First, be-
cause it is Gods command that we should
do so, and then because He tells us it is
the only way we can bear fruit
What two things are necessary to in
sure this vital union with Christ?
Faith and obedience-not the one
without the other. The religion
OF Jesus Christ. not vague
theory Of mind just the sometime think
ing of Him as our Saviour, but an in
tensely earnest and practical thing. The
fruits of Faith are delight in God S
word, meditation, prayer, communion
with Him in the secret recesses of the
soul
The fruits of obedience are meekness,
patience, gentleness, unselfishness and all
the sweet graceS that make character
beautiful, combined with an ever grow
ing desire to serve God and doing Christ
like died for humanity.
This afternoon Mrs Pearson will hold
her last public service for women. Her
afternoons will hereafter be devoted to
private conversations with those who are
iuquiring the way of eternal life and
endeavOring to interest and enlighten any
women who may want to talk with her
personally.
The subject of her discourse this af-
ternoon, as announced, is THE Journey
OF the lsraeltes from Egypt to Canaan, a
type of the Christians pilgrimage On
earth"
She especially wants the young wo-

HANDSOME YOUNG MAN
IN PEN FOR SEDUCTION.
Pasquotank Also Contributes the Youngest
Convict Fer Years

The penitentiary received two convicts
from Pasquotank county yesterday who
were in striking contrast to the ordinary
prisoners that enter the swinging gates.
IS One was handsome young fellow with
fine face and faultlessly dressed. He is
about q years of age and would attract
attention in a crowd. His name was
Clarence Palmer and seduction is his
crime. Judge Brown sentenced him to
three years in the penitentiary, and fin
ally reduced his term to two years. He
comes of a good family at Elizabeth City.
He left that place and went to Baltimore.
He was finally captured in Norfolk. Be-
fore coming here he begged the sheriff
not to handcuff him and pledged his word
not to attempt to get away. The sheriff
granted his wish and he lived up to his
word.
The other convict is a mite of boy,
the youngest and smallest to be received
at the prison for many years. His name
is James Page and he is only nine years
of age. He is colored. He broke in a
store at Elizabeth City and stole some
tobacco. 1t is his third offense. Judge
Brown gave him twelve months in the
penitentiary.
