glaJ to get Dr. E. . iVarren, an you
in Georgia were sorry to lose him. His
peculiar gifts admirably suit him to be
pustr of such a charge as the hirst,
church f Richmond, so large and so
scattered. For whilealltheotherßaptist
church s in Richmond are local, the
First church is metropolitan. The 900
members live all ov r the city, and they
need a VWren to look after them, es
peeially so after being a year without
a pastor. No man in the South is more
famous for ability to look after people’s
spiritual necessities, and to take strong
hold of people’s hearts, than the present
p'aator of the First Baptist church of
Richmond. He begins his pastorate
with most favorable auspices, and has
already filled the mouths of a multi
tude with his praise. His entire con
secration, his fervent zeal, the clear
ness and force with which he presents
the truths of the Bible, his warm and
loving heart, and his wonderful activi
ty, all conspire to make E. W. Warren
indeed “ a model pastor.”
The Southern Baptist Convention
meets with Dr. Warren’s church May
11th, and it will not be the first lime
this has happened. 1 have not seen in
The Index as much talk about the
Convention as I would have liked. Am
afraid the delegation from the South
and West will bo small. Some wanted
the time of the Convention changed
to suit the Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia, forgetting that tho time
suits exactly as it is. The Exposition
opeps May 10th, and the Convention
meets May 11th. The Fourth of July
is not tne Centennial. All there iB to
see can he better seen before that date.
Things will look newer and fresher in
May than in July, tho city will not be
so crowded, it will not he so hot, one
can get better accommodations and
theaper —quite an item these hard
times. Indeed, I am told that every
available room in the city has already
been engaged for the fourth of July.
There will be a fearful jam that day ;
it will be impossible to see or hear with
any satisfaction. It will be fearful
ly hot; it will be almost impossible to
got anything io eat or drink, or any
where to lie down, and utterly impos
sible ex.-ept at fancy pri -es. Unless
you have aheady engaged your room,
do not think of going in July. 1 have
no doubt but that the fourth will be the
most uncomfortable and unsatisfacto
ry day of the whole Exposition. But
if you come to the Convention, and
thence to Philadelphia, you can see all
there is to see, and be comfortable,
and have some money left when you
start home.
You have heard of our great revival.
For two months the work went on.
Save four most excellent sermons from
Dr. W. A. Montgomery, of Lynch
burg, I had no outside help. Our
•hurch has been revived, backslideis
reclaimed, one hundred and eighty
have professed conversion, and so far,
one hundred and nineteen have beeu
added to our fellowship, many of them
persons of prominence. More have
signified their intention to join us.
Some have joined the Byrne Street
Baptist church, some have joined Bap
tist churches in the country, and some
have joined other denominations. We
had received thirty before the extra
meetings began, making one hundred
and forty-nine additions since Septem
ber. ‘‘The Lord hath done great
things for us, whereof wo are glad.”

“ Burning the Fool” A Queer Incident at Mad
ison, Georgia.
There is a society in Madison, called
“The Centennial Brothers,” which have
a novel way of ridding April of its
fool.
They were prevented by rain on the
night of the first, so it was postponed
until ihe night of the fourth. At 9
o’clock the procession began to move
slowly from Foster’s Hall round the
court-house, each member carrying a
Japanese lantern, high above his
head. Their costumes consisted of a
long white gown, black mask, with
•one-shaped hats. They marched round
on the other side of the court-house
and then down Front street, turned the
•orrer at Dr. Jones’, theta round the
block and came by the college, halted
in front of Mr. Dye’s residence, when
they proceeded with their solemn rites.
The people o'f tho town rushed to
behold the wonderful sight, and one
brick wall was laden with pretty girls;
said wall is only about five feet high—
how diguified(?) they looked. (Pardon
the breach ) The coffin, said to con
tain the fool, was gently lowered by the
pall-bearers, and after many queer say
ings, with a discourse preached, the
igniters came forward with matches,
setting coffin, fool and all, into one
lurid flame. The Madison colored band
furnished music, which would have
been good, had not that bass (base)
horn, with its discordant sounds, pre
vented its enjoyment. Alter the per
formance we left, with the full convic
tion that ail the fools were not con
sumed in that one coffin.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Church Dedication —Or. H. F. Buckner—Penn,
the Evangelist—Centennial Work—-Sunday
school Convention, etc.
The dedication of the Baptist church
at Ennis was deferred from January to
the fou.th Sabbath in March. The
sermon was preached by Elder R. C.
Buckner, editor of the Texas Baptist.
The subject discussed was of so much
importance, and discussed with so much
ability, that the church immediately
solicited a copy of the sermon for pub
lication.
In the afternoon the church assem
bled and organized a Sabbath-school.
Adopting the uniform lessons of Kind
Word , it becomes a competitor for t e
prize organ, offered by brother Boykin.
At night we were privileged to hear an
able sermon by Dr. H. F. Buckner,
after which the Lord’s Supper was ad
ministered, the two brothers, Robert and
Henry Buckner, officiating. This was,
perhaps, the first time that these two
brothers in the flesh, who have been so
long and so successfully engaged in the
ministry, ever met around the Lord’s
Table.
The Doctor is in feeble health, and
the indications are that he has about
‘‘finished the work” the Master gave
him to do. He is in very great need of
assistance in carrying out his work
among the Indians. Will not some of
your Georgia readers remember Indian
Missions, and this self-sacrificing In
dian Missionary in this emergency ?
Maj. Penn, the evangelist, has ac
complished a wonderful work at Nava-
Bota, as an instrument in the hands of
the Lord, and the Ennis church are
thinking of inviting him to Ennis.
They have appointed Friday, the 31st.
inst., to assemble in prayer-meeting and
submit the matter to the Lord.
Elder A. J. Holt, Centennial Agent,
for the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, is meeting with great encour
agement, especially in Northern Texas.
There will be a Sunday-school con
vention at Dallas on the 18th, 19th and
20th of April. It proposes to embrace
the State, and to include all denomi
nations.
Dr. P. M. Law has resigned his pas
torate at Bryan, and is giving all his
energies to hit agency.
Mrs. Chloe Taliaferro proposes to
publish the writings of her husband,
the late Elder R. H. Tuliaferrro.
Elder S. A. Hayden, pastor of the
Baptist church at Paris, is arranging
an excursion for his Sabbath-school to
Sherman, the Ist of April. He char
tered a train for S2OO.
March has been wintry, and the
freezes on the 20th killed corn, gardens
and fruit. W. H. Parks.

“SECRET OF POWER.”
This is the title of a neat tract is
sued by the American Baptist Publica
tion Society. The author’s name is
suppressed. The price is only five
cents a copy. If any apology is de
manded for calling special attention to
so unpretending a publication, I would
plead the vast importance of the sub
ject, and the very forcible manner in
which it is here presented. It can
hardly be read by any Christian with
out advantage, hut is particularly
adapted to ministers of the Gospel.
Its pervading idea is, that the secret of
power is power in secret, and only to be
obtained by habitual communion with
God.
Our ministers, in the main, are well
informed in all the leading truths of
the Gospel, and possess sufficient abil
ity to present them with clearness to
their hearers, but the results are by no
means commensurate with the num
ber or intellectual merits of the ser
mons delivered. Fewer and inferior
sermons have been known to produce
incomparably greater effect among
believers and unbelievers. We need
the operation of a power that does not
belong to well trained and well-stored
intellects, nor to the most entrancing
eloquence, the power that accompanies
the man of faith. The finger of God
must do the work that is beyond the
reach of all others. Any work that
will contribute to deepen our convic
tion of this truth, is worthy of a
thoughtful perusal. May the Lord of
the harvest teach his servants from
whence cometh the increase.
Gideon.

FLOIIIUi —HER RELIGIOUS WANTS.
Florida wants a large number of truly
pious young ministers, men that will
woik for the Master, and trust Him
for results. Men learned in the doc
trines and truths of the Bible, fearless
in proclaiming the same, and, that like
their Master, “ will go about doing
good”— shediingGospel light and truth
m every family they may visit.
Florida, the second, if not the larg
est State in the South, has only about
five thousund Baptists in her borders—
don’t know the exaet number—and a
constantly increasing population. As
a consequence, every ism that ever
cursed a people, is in full operation in
this State. Their advocates may be
sef n and heard in every town, or on the
cars or in the settlements, in families,
infusing their poisonous doctrines into
the souls and bodies of the communi
ties.
We want Baptist ministers to meet
this state < f things, and every dollar
that can be spaieJ, should be kept at
home to supply her own d&stitulior.
Why send men to another State,
when she needs all that can be done
for her own people ?

MISSIONS AM) COLLEGES.
Dear Brethren —ln looking over
The Index, we see repeated appeals for
money. We see one for the African
Mission, one for the China Mission,
also for Indian Missions, and still
another for Home Missions, which are
all right, for they ought all to be sup
ported. And we further see, that if
they do not get assistance, that some
of our missionaries will have to be re
called.
Dear brethren, this ought not to be
done. Furthermore, we see another
appeal for money to build a costly col
lege. Must we go on building fine and
costly colleges to the neglect of our
missionary duties ? It does seem to
me very wrong. Must we live here in
splendor, while the heathen are ne
glected and have not the Gospel ? Do
not understand me to be opposed to
colleges, or education, but I think
we are neglecting the one thing need
ful —that of sending missionaries to
the heathen.
God will surely bring us to judg
ment for the neglect of our missionary
duties, and it is time we were up and
doiDg. Let us stop building so many
costly edifices, and do more for the
heathen world.

GOOD WORDS FROM TEXAS.
Sequin, Texas, April 7, 1876.
Dear Old Friend Index —Though
times are very hard indeed, with us way
out here, and we, poor, hard-worked
pastors, have to live on promises, yet I
cannot consent now, to sever your
agreeable acquaintance of over thirty
years standing, especially as you have
improved so amazingly in the last year
or so. Therefore, please find enclosed,
post-office draft for $3, to keep up our
acquaintance, at least for anot her year.
Very truly, etc. Sam. C. Craft.
DR. IMCU’S IVIDUVCIS OF CHRISTIANITY.
We wish to call attention to this
work, which, in the opinion of the au
thor, is his best. We have read care
fully, the most of it, and do not under
stand how the “trade” could have
overlooked it. It ought to have been
sold by the thousands, and we are not
satisfied if the Baptists of the South,
especially, do not know this book.
There is no book on this subject, in
so small and convenient space, at nil
comparable to Dr. Dagg’s. All the
preachers of Georgia should have it,
and every Sunday-school teacher in the
land would be greatly blessed in its
study, while every intelligent person
would be greatly entertained by it.
Will brethren remember this, for their
own sakes, and not for Dr. Dagg’s,
who has no pecuniary interest in the
book. T. E. Skinner.

To remove the burden of disease, tho heaviest

Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters, whose great suc
cess is attributable to the fact that its reetora
tive action upon the debilitated and disordered
system is in accordance with the principles of
common sense. It invigorates the sick, and, as
their strength increases, the burden of disease
grows lighter. It reforms those physical irreg
ularities which render weakness chronic, and
thus eradicates the evil at its very Bource. Liver
complaint, malarious fevers, constipation, uri
nary troubles, uterine weakness, and many oth
er causes of general debility and ill health, are
completely removed by the combined tonic and
alterative operation of the Bitters.

It is with pleasure that I add my testimony
to the excellence of Dr. Jayne’s Expecto
rant. I have used it in my family for several
years, and can truly say that I know of no medi
cine equal to it for checking and curing the fre
quent coughs and colds to which children are
subject at all seasons of the year. I have also
realized great benefit from it myself, and have
recommended it to others, who almost invaria
bly have learned to value it. I always prescribed
it to the students under our care when nec
essary, and the teachers willingly ,add their tes
timony to minein praise of this medicine.— J. S.
Edwards, pmcipal of Providence Conference

Cat a nun is a common disease,so common that
snuffing, spitting.and blowing of tiie nose, meet
us at every turn of the Btreet. Your foot slips
in these nasty discharges on the sidewalk and in
the public conveyance; and its disagreeable
odor, contaminating the breath of the a til ic red,
renders them offensive to their associates.
There is the highest medical authority for stat
ing that with fully one-half, if not two-thirds,
of those afflicted with consumption of the lungs,
the disease commences as catarrh in thr nose or
head, the next step being to the throat and
bronchial tubes—lastly to the lungs. How im
portant then to give early and prompt attention
to a catarrh ! To cure this loathsome disease,
correct the system by using Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Disoovery, whieh tones it up, cleanses
the blood, and heals the diseased glands by a
specific influence upon them; and to assist, use
Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce’s
Nasal Douche. This is the only way to reach
the upper and back cavities where the discharge
comes from. No danger from this treatment,
and it is pleasant to use. the two medicines with
are sold by dealers in medicines.
