Died, suddenly, in Columbia Cos., Ga..
on the night ol the sixth iust., Mrs. Fran

year of her age. Though she had the mis
fortune to lose her father, when quite voting,
—under the chiistian instruction of a pious
mother, —through the grace of God, she
became a member of the Baptist church, at
Kiokec, in the beginning of her sixteenth
yen - ; since which time she lias continued
a cot sistrnt member; ever evincing to the
world her close communion with, and Iter
confidence in a crucified, a risen, and mer

She lias left an all'cctinnate husband, anil
ten children, an aged mother and brother,
with nil Aunt and a large circle of friends
to mourn her sudden and early loss; bul
though the warning given lor her departure
was short, they have the consolation ol
knowing from her own lips that she was
not unprepared, by expressing her perfect
resignation to the will of God, Dusting that
He who had been with her in the sixth
Double, would he with her in the seventh
also. And now those whoarelelt behind,
ami more especially those of her own fami

to consider well this severe and touching
warning, to prepare for tlu ir latter end, that

LETTER FROM REV. JOSEPH ISLANDS.
The following very interesting letter
from our Creek Indian brother and tnission
ary, is given in bis own language, as writ
ten by himself; the orthography and punc
tuation only being corrected. J’lie few in
stances of broken English will detract noth
ing from its excellence. It exhibits so
much apostolical devotedness to the service
! of the Lord Jesus, that we desire the read
er to know that he reads it as originally
written, without embellishment from any
other pet).
North Fork, Creek Nation,?
June 11 ill, 1815. y
Rev. Isaac McCoy,
Corresponding Secretary,
My Dear Brother; — Your very ac
ceptable letter of the 18th March last reach
ed this nation, anil I have not written to you
as soon as 1 should on the account of Gen
eral Counoil was to be held in the Creek
nation, commencing on the Ist of May;
I,, 'unking tliat it would behest to see the
and our Agent, to know from them
| ; ibout the’ schools in this nation,, and to
lumw how the Council will decide about
the Christian people; for they have been
trying to slop us frOi.? (''reaching the Gos
pel of our Lord Jesus Claris!.
* wit iu itie wouncii. ‘l’ti’* 7 Ouuntil
was held for the purpose of renewing the
friendship with the different tribe.” of In
dians, ami to civilize all the uncivilized na
tions,
I lie act of the Council upon praying
people. At the close of the Council, one
of the principal Chiefs of the Creeks made
a long speech; ami at the close of his
K pcch he mentioned the praying people;
and said when Cod made all things, lie
made white people, and black people to
pray, hut he never made the ludians to pray
to him ; and told the Chiefs and warriors
that they were appointed to execute all laws
made by the nation ; and told them, at their
I last Council, they had this case about the
praying people laid before them ; anil the
j law was made to slop them ; and the law
was fifty lashes on their naked back, if they
did not sloppreaching or singing, and pray
ing; and told thorn that some of the Chiefs
bad some black people whipped, and one
Indian man and woman; and some of their
connections wants revenge; and they must
not do it* for it was done according to law;
and they must not suffer any of their laws
lo be broken •. and if they stiller one law
to be broken it will goon so till we Itaveno
laws at all, so they must execute all their
laws; and lie then dismissed the Council;
so they did not give chance to speak. It
was made up thing with the opposing
Chiefs to act that way so as to give the peo
ple no chance to have any thing lo say in
it. And the people began to scatter, 1
wanted to speak, but the people began to
scatter. So 1 did not know what to do;
but God, in his mercy did more. (W
.. i...ir i.,, ,i— tl | Honja
min Marshall, stepped up and spoke to the
Chief, and told him that when they made
laws against preaching, they made a law
against whiskey at the same time, and you
never mention it at all; and told him that
whiskey done more harm than preaching.
And tlie Chief told the people to stop and
consult on the whiskey law, and the people
stopped. And l spoke to the Chief that
they must consult on the praying people,
and see what harm they do before they en
force law to whip /hem. Ami 11, Marshall
told him that they had sent good talks lo
the different tribes of people, and you want
you people whipped lor nothing. And my
father spoke up lor preaching, and so did
several others ; and great many spoke a
, gainst preaching ; so the contention was ve
j rv sharp ; so the Chief told the people to
silence, and Id this case stand on until the
! next Council; then they would settle the
j ease .So the ease about praying people
! stands unsettled. 1 ant in hopes that we
1 will carry on our meetings in peace, until
Council; which will be in July, or in the
j fall.
J We have bad great persecution here, j
which brother Smedly lias informed you.
Ilrot!ier Jesse has iceeived fifty stripes, and
brother Hilly received the same; and broth
er O-sah-he na-liah, a native, received fifty
j stripes, these three brothers belong to our
j church. One col’d man, a member of
i Methodist church, has received lifly stripes,
and one native sister of the same, received
fifty stupes. And it was supposed that
she would die; for they whipped her until
she lain ted; but she recovered. They
eominoi.eed with the intention to whip all
we leading ones ; saying that would stop
J all the rest of them. I'hey said we were
i die ones that’s causing all dm people to
pray. They wanted to whip me, and
brother Harry ; and on one Saturday the
opposing Chii f sent out and gathered his
people to come to our meetinghouse on the
Sabbath to whip list but God restrained
their wrath, and some feared to come tipun
us; and from that time they nover whipped
any mere.
The condition of out church. Two of j
our brothers have got drunk, they conic im
mediately and confess to the church, and
the church forgive them. Tluue is one
i colored sister, and one native brother hack
! slided lately; but we have not brought
them to trial; we are in hopes to bring
, them back.
Our meetings are tolerably lively, and
we believe that God is still strong with us.
There is many that believe, and great tna
j ny that would join the church, but they aie
hindered by die opposing Chiefs. Broth
er Smedly has been up will) us three times,
of which he lias informed you. He lias
baptized twelve of my “people. Wc have
sixty-nine members in our church.
You have staled to me. dim the Hoard j
has made up for me fifty dollars. lam vc- j
Iry thankful for their ’ kindness. I have
heard that some of the people is talking a-!
bout my getting pay from the Board, say
i ••'!? I an > going to get pay for preaching ; j
: and 1 have studied on it, and prayed over
: it, ami it seems to me that it will deprive
■ J me of my comforts in preaching the gospel
of my Lord and master; and 1 think nn. \
have some tendency to blame the gospel
of Christ. God has blessed me with food
and raiment so far, arid 1 hope he will con
tinue his blessings with me; so my dear
brothers if you will get me some books,
that will bring me to the knowledge of the
gospel, I will be satisfied with that without
money ; as a child must have some teacher
before he can learn. If they will be pleas
ed to send me any books, they will (please
to send them to brother VV alter at J’lieas
aiu Bluffs.
I hope the Board will not not think hard
of me for not accepting the draft.
We stand in need of a minister very
much, as there is not one Baptist minister
in the Cteek nation. All the brothers and
sisters wish lor brother Dyer to come if lie
js able ; and if he is notable, we wish the
Board to send some other man in Misplace;
send some man nJto is jiot afraid to die sot
Christ’s sake.
Icontinue preaching to my peoplet irough
much trials and crosses. My lies tli has
been very bad for some time ; bul 1 am
still liaveliing about. Tell all the b others
and sisters to renumber me to the ’ lirone
of grace, both in secret and in pubiid pray
ers; that God may enable me to ireadi
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
Your affectionate brother,
JOSEPH ISLANDS.
The Bliml and Deaf Girl and her Bible.
Would you know the value of the Bible,
let me introduce you a scone of deep and
thrilling interest, which was related by a
minister and an eye witness. A-.-Voting
Wo'tnan completely blind and deaf was
brought before a number of eminent sur
geons to .°e if anything could be done lor
her. Hersa.’l rendition had been sudden
ly produced by a violent pain in the head.
The only method of communicating with
her was by tapping her bar'd, whicn signi
fied no, and by squeezing it. which signi
fied yes. The surgeons conc/.turd that her
case was incurable, and in reply .*o her
earnest inquiries, she received the tmcel
come tup. Site immediately burst ~’ilo
tears and wept alone In all the bitterness oi ,
anguish. “What.” said she, ‘shall I r.ev- |
orsee the light of day, or hear a human
voice? Must 1 remain shut up in dark
ness and silence as long as 1 live?’ ami a
gain she wept. It was an affecting sight.
If she had been able to see, she might leave
been pointed to the promises ’of the Bible;
iflo hear, they might have been cited for
her comfort. At length a friend who was
present took up the Bible and placed it to
her breast. It was a touching and beauti
lul act. !She placed her hands on it, ami
asked, is ibis the Bible? Her hand was
squeezed in reply. She immediately clasp
ed the Bible in her bauds, ami held it to
her bosom and exclaimed—“ This is the
only comfort 1 have left.! shall nevet more
be able to look upon ils blessed pages, but
1 can think of the blessed promises I have
I arm from it,” and then began to repeat
some of iis a,
upon the Lord, and he .shall sustain llicc. !
Call upon mu in the day of trouble and 1
will deliver thee. My graee is sufficient
lor thee,” &e. She dried her tears, be
came submissive to the will of God, and
was happy.
Reflections for Hie Morning.
The solemn stillness of the morning, just
before break of day, is lit and frieiiflly to
the cool and undisturbed recollectiiii of a
man just tisen refreshed audio perfect
health. Let him compare his condition
with that ol hall the world, anil let him feel
an indisposition to admire anil aiioie his
Protector, if he can ? llow many great
events have come to pass during the hours j
1 have reposed ? 1 feel my insignificance.
‘J’lie heavenly bodies have moved mi; the I
great wheels of nature have none of them :
stood still; vegetation is advanced; the;
season is come forwaid ; lleets hafe con
tinued sailing ; councils have been held ;
and on the opposite side of the wprld, in
broad noonday, what ievolmions ijave ta
ken place, without my concurrence, eon
sent, or knowledge ? Great God, what am
lin the world ? An insect—a nothing!—
In the morning, O Lord, thou Great Being,
unto thee will 1 look up.
How many of my fellow creatures have
spent the last six hours in praying in vain
for one hours’ sleep ‘. How many in rack
ing pain, crying “would God it were morn
ing!” Hot-many in prison! How many
in die commission of great crimes ! llow
many have been burnt out of house anil
home! How many have been shipwreck
ed at sea, or lost in untrodden ways on
land ! How many have been robbed and
murdered! How many have died unpre
pared, and arc now liliing up their eyes in
torment! And here stand 1, a monument
of mercy, “the living, the living,” to piaiso
God. In the morning, O Lord, non gra
cious and merciful being, unto thee will 1
look up, 1 will bemoan the vices, anil sym
pathize with the distress of my fellow crea
tures. 1 will try this day to show mv gra
titude to my Preserver, by taking care not
to offend Him— Robinson.
Beautiful Anecdote.
A happier illustration of the wonderful
j character of the Bible, and the facility with
. which even a child may answer by it the
I greatest questions, and solve the sublimes!
j of mysteries, was perhaps never given, than
at an examination of a deaf and dumb in
! stiliMion, some years ago in Loudon :
A little boy was asked in writing, “Who
made the world ?” Me took the chalk and
wrote underneath the question : ‘‘ln the be
ginning Hod created the heavens and the
! earl It.”
The clergyman then inquired, in a simi
j lar manner, “Why did Jesus Christ come
j into the world ?” A smile of delight and
I gratitude rested on the countenance of the
i little leilow as he wrote: “This is a faith
ful saving, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Jesus Christ came into the world to
j save sinners.”
A third was then proposed, evidently a
dapted to call his most powciiul feelings
into exercise “Why were von born deaf
j ami dumb, wln-n I can hear and speak?”
“Never,” said an eye-witness, “shall I for
get the look of resignation which sat upon
his countenance as he look the chalk and
wrote, ‘Even so, Father, for so it se.eined
good in thy sight.’ ”
PROPOSALS
For publishing at Covington, Ky., a
Monthly Journal, lo be conducted by an
Association of Brethren, entitled
THE BAPTIST LSS AVI ST -
W. F. Nelson, Editor.
In issuing the above proposals, we leel !
that we owe our friends a brief explanation
of our plan and aim. We therefore invite;
our readers to follow us in a survey of the j
field we design to occupy, leaving them to j
judge of its importance, and act as reason I
may dictate in view of their own deduc- j
lions.
The remark lias often been made in our
hearing, by worthy and influential brethren
in vaiious parts of the Great Valley of the
West, that we need some common organ
of communication upon subjects oi common
interest—a journal, elevated somewhat in
its character above the local weekly jour
nals of the individual States, yet adapting
itself to the capacity of the more intelligent
portion of our denomination ; which shall
occupy a middle ground between the iceek
ly newspaper on the one hand, and the
monthly or quarterly •• Review ” on the
oilier; which shall especially afford useful
hints to the faithful and conscientious pas
tor in the discharge of his numerous ami ar
duous duties, as well as contribute to ren
dor every private member of the church a
more active, vigorous and efficient servant
ofour great Master in Heaven ; whiclishall
aim at the correcti m of existing abuses in
the polity of our churches—shedding light
upon the great and but imperfectly under
stood subjects of Church Discipline, Church
Organization and Church Powers—upon
Christian and ministerial intercourse—also,
especially in public bodies ; which shall
“ holdfust the form of sound words,” pro
| Foking unto love and good works in every
j ~'ep.artmein of Christian benevolence, while
i it iou'bV avoids every tiling local and per
sonal in Ic s character.
This lieiJ, extensive and important as it
is, we believe to be occupied, at present, by
t o paper existing cr contemplated by our
denomination.
It cannot be expected, however, that wc
can succeed in an enterprise ol this charac
ter without the assistance and iTo-operatimi
of others. We therefore icspedi''by soli
cit of all our ministering brethren the.'f aid,
both in circulating our journal and in .’u
riching its pages—always reserving to our
selves, as editors, the acknowledged right
to select such materials as shall besianswi r
the end wc have in view. It gives us great
satisfaction, also, to announce that we have
already secured the assistance of some of
our ablest writers and wisest counsellors,
ns contributors ‘ ,lir pages, and hope
I greatly to swell the list as the wort; pro
! eccds.
