In such a night as when the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees and they did make no noise, in such a night, Pierson, methinks, came into this World. He is a native of Gas- ton County, N. C., born on April 12, 1878. and tl1e son of VVilliam A. and Nannie E. Pier- son. Gaston Institute lays claim to first in- stilling in his mind the rudinients of an edu- cation. After iinishing there, Erskine was the college of his choice, and for four years he has been a student in her walls. He is a member of the Philoinathean Society and Y. M. C. A. He is a young' man of fine character, a11d if tl1e Prophet will excuse us, we will say that we expect to see him in the pulpit some day. K. H. PATRICK J. B. PEARSON
