INDEX AND BAPTIST.

BEV. H. B. McCALLUM EDITOR.
FLORIDA MISSIONARY GROUND.
Almost the whole of this State may be
called missionary ground. There is great
destitution almost everywhere. In many
sections the settlements arc “few and far be
tween," and in most of these preaching is
seldom heard. And in those sections where
churches are more numerous there is a want
of ministerial laborers. Some .Elders have
the care of more than four churches, neces
sitating preaching to some of them on week
days, while only a few,and they it) the towns,
have preaching every Sabbath. The Gaines
ville church hasa settled pastor, with preach
ing every Sabbath, and so far as we know,
.his is now the only church w'bich is so fa
voiahly provided for. Lake City formerly,
bad a settled pastor and cared for him well,
and they would now do the same, provid
ed some brother willing to work and an
acceptable preacher, should find his way
there. It is an inviting field, and we hope
it will soon he supplied. A letter addressed
to E. E. Cleavelaud, Lake City, will be
promptly answered and all desired informa
tion given. The cbutch in Jacksonville has,
until recently, had a settled pastor, and they
are looking around now to supply their pul
pit, which they hope soon to do. In the
mean time they keep their church open for
worship every Sabbath. Brother G. W.
Swift, a man of culture and talent, recently
from the Methodists and a member of this
church, preaches for them two Sabbaths in
the month ; the other two are usually sup
plied by sente visiting brother, but when no
minister is to he had, the church holds a
prayer-meeting, the exercises of which are
sometimes more edifying than a sermon.
We do not now call to mind a single other
church which is able to support a pastor for
his entire time.
Notwithstanding this, the denomination in
the Blnte is making rapid advances, especial
ly in those sections where preaching is regu
larly n aintained. In our opinion, there is
no missionary territory in the whole Union,
which will yield such laige results for judi
cious labor us Florida. As an evidence of
whnt can be aoc< mplished by individual ef
fort, as will as to give from the experience
of one who has been a pioneer in an unculti
vated field, what may generally he expected
in this State, we append a letter from Rev.
Dennis Spencer, giving some account of his
labors since coining to Florida. There are
scoris of fields here, similarly situated to the
one in which brother Spencer labors, and
they need just such men as he to develop
them. Rewrites:
Crescent City, Jan. 7, 1878.
Brother McCallvm, —In an article tty Rev.
W. N. Chaudoin, he mentioned my name
and said that he wishtd the brethren in
Florida knew me better. 1 suppose it is
hardly probable that I will ever know all
the brethren in the State, hut it would he
very pleasant to me, it I could form ac
tpiainlance of more of them. I often feel
isolated, and w ish for the companionship of
some good brother minister, with whom I
could talk over the things pertaining to the
cause we love But lam denied this privi
lege, and this is what makes me look for
ward with so much pleasure to the visits of
brother Chaudoin.
Two years ago last November, I came from
Kansas to Florida, having previously written
to Rev. Wtn. Stanton. I took the liberty of
visiting him at San Mateo, and whh kindly
received by him and bis excellent wife. They
nqueated me to couie tip to Dunn s, now
called Crescent Lake. 1 did so and it resulted
in my taking a homestead five miles south
west ol the village now called Crescent City.
I have labored in this field ever since; have
traveled some and have preached at points
along the coast and on the Halifax and
Indian rivers; have been lo Fort Christmas
once ami into Orange county three times
to hold meetings ; on one trip preached eight
times. 1 find tills section comparatively des
titute of Baptist ministers and very much in
need of laborers and means to carry forward
the work. On one of these trips I was absent
from home thirty days and preached twenty
two sermons, and didn’t receive a single dol
lar for my services. But since that time 1
have been commissioned by the Domestic
Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Con
vention, and the amount I receive from it
helps me greatly. They have paid me twenty
five dollarsa quarter since July, 1877. Breth
ren of the Bethlehem Church, also of the
Lake Louisa Church, where 1 live, aided me
in getting u pony, it has looked very dark
to me at times since I have been iu Florida,
but 1 can only repeat wind 1 said to brethren
in Kansas before I left that Slate. They asked
me how I expected to get along in Florida
without means, and I told them that 1 was
going to trust in God and do the best I could.
Lake Como and Crescent City are two impor
tant points where 1 preach. As brother
Chaudoin told you, they have a meeting
house at Lake Como nearly completed, and it
ie not a union church or meeting house, al
though quite a large part was given by those
who are not members of any Baptist church;
ail understand it is being built for a Baptist
church. I have had no place to preach in
at Crescent City, except the colored church,
sometimes, however, half the congiegation
were white. Lately there has been a school
house built, and 1 am informed it ran be bad
for preaching if desired. This 1 think an im
portant point.
But 1 am writing more than I expected
when I began, and perhaps, alieady too much.
If you think this or any pait ot it worthy a
place in the Floiida column of The Index,
you are at liberty to use it. Your brother in
Christ. Dennis Spencer.

BEATIFICATION—ACKMIWLI DCHHEM.
Dear Im>f.x—l have desired ere now to say a
word to my brethren In Florida at out the change
in our Florida Baptist. lam delighted with the
arrangement, ar.d now, kicthrin in Fbrida, do
make an tflort to keep Tnr. Index going to all
who were taking the Baptist, and to increase its
circulation. Tnr. Index itriainly points as mar
ly the right way as any japir in the laud—
sound. but not lalid, acting upon the aimiment
ol the Apostle l’aul, “speaking (writiig, advo
cating,) the truth in love." It will coat you inly
a little mere, tut you will git a vast amount of
reading.

Tribute of Respect.
While blessing our Sunday-school by showers
of gracious mercy, our Heavenly Fat tier has
seen fit to afllict us by taking to himself our
dearly beloved and faithful brother. Dr. A.
M. Walker. In token of our grief at our loss, we
unanimously resolve :
1. That in the death of Dr Wa'ker. this
school has lost a vety faithful and efficient
teacher, and also a useful and active member ;
and the church has lost from its membership
a pious and devoted Christian brother.
2 Wo deeply lament our loss, though sincerely
believing that be lias but guiio to the bosom of
bis Saviour, Jesus.
8. That this tribute bo placed on the records
of our school, and be published in The Chris
tian Index, and that a copy of them be sent to
Mh a Minted family, as a token of onr respect and
sympathy, S. P. Sanford,
L. W. Hunt,
li. L. WtI.LINOHAM,
.Tune 9,1878* Committee.
Note Tlio allusion in the foregoing, is to
the blessing God lias seen fit to bestow upon
the Macon church, iu graciously reviving it, by
which about thirty members of tiro school were
converted and became church members.
OBITUARIES.
SINQIIEFIELD Mrs. Liitney Si mine field,
the daughter of Feter and Theney Ivobb, was
horn in Jackson county, Ga., Jan. 8, 1807. Fell
asleep in Jesus, and passed from earth’s pains to
the glories of Immanuel’s land, May 18,1878, at
Union Point, Ga. She was married to AsaSinque
tield, in 1880 ; they removed to Eufaula. Ala, in
1849,and reared theirclnldren there, hi gingbelov
ed and it spected in tlieir adopted home. In 18'4
her husband died. Since the war, sire lias been
spending her summers with relatives in Georgia,
While she considered Eufaula her home, her
earthly ties and affections drew her strongly to
Georgia, and she was a constant reader of The
Index. She had five children, two of whom are
dead, the other three daughters are married and
mothers. She lived to see sixteen grand-child
ren, throe of whom ate dead and two are mar
ried. She was baptized in 1820, in Jones comity,
Georgia, and was at the time of her death a
consistent and beloved member of the First
Baptist Church of Eufaula. Her health had
been ijuito feeble for some time past, but she
bore her Bufferings with great patience and
sweet Christian fortitude. About ten days be
fore her death she went to Union Point, Geor
gia, on a visit to her daughter there. She was
taken suddenly worse oil lliursday, 16th, ami on
tiro uight of Saturday, 18th May, she quietly
breathed her last. She had been nimble to
speak after this last attack, hut thoso who
loved and watched knew that the matter of tier
soul's salvation had been settled long ago ; and
they wept (or the dead, but through their tears
came tlio sunlight of tlio Saviour's promises
turning their tears into a lainbow of hope. Slie
was the last of her immediate family—tlio bro
ken chain is now complete in the upper king
dom.
It was my privilege, as her pastor, to know
sister Sinqiiefield well, ami I loved to call on her,
and hear her sweet voice as she spoke of tlio in
terests of Zion. The last words I ever heard from
her lips were uttered just tlie day before she
left Eufaula. I was prevented by an accident
from going to bid her farewell. She came out
to onr lion e. and in bidding us good-by said.
“God bless yon. my dear pastor, and make yon
veiv uteful in this world." Her voice trembled,
and the tears gathered in her eyes.
Truly a mother in luael has bet n taken away.
May God comfort the heart of the bereaved
ones. 0. F. GrttuoßY.
Eufaula, Ala., May 8,1878.
Another Loved One Gone.—Died at Powder
Springs, Cobb county, Georgia, Juue let, 1878, of
typhoid fever, motor Martha C. Stovall, daugh
ter of I-aac and Sarah J. Dillard, and wife of
Bro. Wm. Y’. Stovall.
The deceased was born November, 1834, in
Oglethorpe county ; was married in December,
1849; ioiutxl tho Baptist Church at Millstone,
Oglethorpe county, G., in tlie summer of 1850,
was baptized by Rev. Isliain H Goss, and lived a
pious, humble and devoti and Christian life up to
lie day of her death. Much devoted lo her
kind husband and aged parents; and if any Chris
tian ever airivtd at the state of peifectiou that
they could love their neighbor as tliemiclves, we
think she bad. If the had an enemy on earlh
the writer is not aware of it, and wo "have been
intimately acquainted with abler Stovall for the
last eight or ten years, and never heard her
speak evil of anyone. I-lie loved tho church and
the cause of Christ above all tliirgß else. She
was kind to the poor, libeial in the support of
the Gospel, and a teacher in the Sabbath-school.
The writer, (as her pastor.) feeb that lie lias
lost one that ever prajed for him and liis family.
Luring her illi ess which lasted twenty-five
day s. it was our privilege to sie tier aln ost every
day ; found her always cheerful and submissive.
She would often ask why wo wept; would say she
thought we ought to lejoice, for she was going
to ter Fa'hire house ; would ie|eat the lan
guage of David and say. “I less the Lord, oh
my ion), and all tLat ia within me blets Hi* holy
name." On a beautiful Sabbath mom, she asked
us to sing for her that beautiful hymn “Pass
me not, oh gentle Baviour, hear my humble cry. ”
While singing it she was made happy and prais
ed the Lord. Would often speak to her aged
father and mother, (who were present,) of the
many loved ones that had long since died and
gone before, and told how beautiful they ap
peared to her. Hbe asked her friends who sur
rounded her bedside, (and they weie many,) to
tell her good-by Just like they expected to meet
her again, so strong was her faith in Christ,
and her belief in a resurrection of the dead ; and
when the last moment came she passed throngh
the iron gate of deatli without a struggle. \Ve
can all say, farewell sister :
Thou wast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When it floats among the tre:s.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled.
Then in Heaven, with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
B. Babeb.

Eating is a Torture,
And sleep often a mere travesty of repose, to
the dyspeptic. Appetite is correspondingly im
paired by this most prevalent of maladies, and
headaches, billiousness, constipation, poveity
of the blood, loss of flesh and of vitality, and a
thousand annoving&nd indescribable sensations,
are its concomitants. It is moreover the pro
genitor of numerous and formidable bodily dis
orders. Obstinate as it is, however, its complete
eradication may be effected by the persistent
use of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, a medicine
which communicates both vigor and regularity
to the organs of digestion and secretion, relaxes
the bowels gently but thoroughly enriches and
purifies the blood, promotes appetite, and gives
tranquility to the nervous system. Persons of
weakly constitution and feeble physique who
use this superb tonic infallibly derive from it
the stamina of which they stand so much in need,
and it is invariably successful in remedying and
preventing malarial diseases.
Sparkling, Cooling and Invigorating, that
most benign and popular preparation.

“Du ing my stay at the Buffalo Lithia Springs, as a resident physician, for the season just
closed, I bad ample opportunities for observing the action of the waters of the several Springs on
different constitutions and the two sexes. I have no hesitation in expressing the opinion that, in
the large majority of Cliroidc FEMALE DISEASES, and especially those connected with the Uro-
Genital Organs, they hare no espial as a medicinal agent in the whole range of Therapeutic applica
tion In Loiichorrlnea, Amenorrhma, Dvsmenorrhoia and Cystorrhoea their action may be regarded
as almost specific.”

“ Theee waters unquestionably possess wonderful powers as acurative agent in nunv forms of
chronic disease. It is. however, their ai.moht specific power in the PECULIAR DISEASES OF
WOMEN that gives to them their great scpeiuohity over all of the more noted mineral waters,
both of this country and Europe.
“Some of the most distressing and unimaginable cases of UTERINE dilfibulty which have
ever come under my observation have been entirelv relieved by tte persistent use of these waters,
with but little, and in some instances without any, aid from medicine. To make mention of a single
case: Mrs. , of this iity, severely afflicted, was for four months under the treatment of
some of the most eminent of the medical faculty of Philadelphia, deriving no material benefit from
treatment. She returned to this city and was put upon the LITHIA WATERS, the use of which
for three months resulted in her entire restoration to health.
“ I have found them equally potent in Dysmenonhu)* and Menorrhagia.”
Theee Springs are now open for guests. Waters in cases of six gallons. 95 per case, at the
Springs. It. THOMAS F. OOJDE, Proprietor.
