send Message to Congregation.
Boston, Oct. 21.-The Rev. Clar-
ence V. ". Richeson, pastor of the
Emmanuel Baptist church of Cam
bridge, awoke today somewhat re-
freshed.
Today the police commenced their
work of gathering evidence in the
case. The actual delivery of the
poison to Miss Linnell and the den-
tity of the person with whom she
dined last Saturday evening are mat
ters of vital interest being inquired
into.
Chief Dugan claims to have learned
that Mr.. Richeson dined last Satur-
day at the home of Mrs. Frank r.
Riley, of Sommerville, a member of
the Emmanuel Baptist church. Ac-
cording to the police, Mrs. Riley has
said that on this occasion Richeson
threw himself on couch and ex-
claimed that he had lost a dear friend
and that she had died of convulsions.
The police wish to know how the
minister knew his friend died of con-
vulsons. The police also were work
ing on the statements made by John
f. Danskin, of Cambridge, to the eff
feet that his wife heard Richeson tele-
phoning to Miss Linnell at the Young
Womens Christian association build
ing to meet him Saturday.
In a cell Richeson remains cool and
reticent He has made no statements,
says Chief Inspector Dugan. A mem
ber of the Emmanuel Baptist church
said today that at the services at
that church a statement from Richie.

who is to occupy the pulpit.

A Man Who Firts is No Gentleman

Throwing a harpoon into the man
who flirts," Evangelist Hart at Thurs
day nights session of the union reviv-
al meetings being held in the big
tabernacle on Ninth street and Nor
folk avenue, declared that no man
who flirts with a woman's love is a
gentleman.
Thursday nights meeting was the
best meeting so far held in Norfolk
and the attendance is showing a
larger growth every evening.
Evangelist Hart is proving to be an
eloquent and entertaining speaker.
The large choir composed of singers
from all the churches sang several
splendid songs, some of which were
new and very taking. Evangelist Ma
gam is a master of song and a very
fine choir director. Everybody seems
pleased with meetings thus far.
Mr.. Hart preached an eloquent and
helpful sermon from the text, "Pres-
ent your bodies living sacrifice unto
God that ye may prove what
is that good and acceptable and per-
feet will of God"
1T has been said that this is an age
of many books and little literature" "
said Mr.. Hart. "An age of many
newspapers and little news, and an
age of much talk and many songs
about conservation, but very little real
conservation.
"Consecration is more than a song,
an essay, or sentiment. 1t is the
difference between retaining your
own will and surrendering it wholly
to God.
This surrender is not to be often
repeated. We question the use of the
term conservation so often these days.
The Greek rendering of the text will
not stand for any such Interpretation.
Often in our young peoples societies
the monthly conservation meetings
are nothing more than a treadmill of
nicely put statements, and are mean

Linked together in pairs, with
handouts, they were in charge OF the
