AMONG THE ASSOCIATIONS
YET.
Yes, and among the churches come too.
Miking my way from the Alachua Associa
tion to the place where a new one was to be
organised, I had the privilege of making a
second visit to Stafford’s Pond church, alias
Buttonwood, alias Button Bush, but the first
name is the real one, but as it is not ou
Stafford’s Pond now, it should be called by
another name.
E der Crumpton is the pastor, and lives
near the church, and aided by Elder Paul
Willis, held a most gracious meeting there
this year. Georgia is well represented by
two of the deacons of this church, Jesse
Mercer Willis and Newton A. Blitcb. Dea
con Willis has a son named Jesse Mercer.
“By it, he being dead, yet speaketh,” is
beautifully, grandly true of that man of
Gori, Jesse Mercer,
After a pleasant service, but not largely
attended on account of its being the first
good day almost in a month for work, the
pastor had us to go to dine at brother James
Mixon’s, where we bad a real South Carolina
welcome and dinner, anti saw a family of
sprightly, healthy children. A few days
after we were there, his little son stepped on
a rake, and stuck two of the teeth deep in
his foot, and lock jaw was somewhat feared.
I hope though it was not so serious. The
Index visits this interesting family, but
when the obituary of brother Mixon’s father
was not published, he almost promised to
quit taking it. I am inclined to think the
notice was lost.
But I must hasten onto the
HARMONY ASSOCIATION,
that is to be, but the way leads, or one way,
the way Bishop Crumpton carried us, by
Levyviile, the former site of Levy county,
and there we were, for the first time, the
happy guest of plain “Jim Turner,” whom
we had known and loved so long. A noble
son of Georgia is he, ami of noble parents,
too, and though raised a poor wire-grass boy,
be has turned and yet turns many a pinny.
A "Turner” properly may he be called. He
is a turner, and turns others.
Friday, October 31st, at 11 o'clock, my
Jehu, Crumpton, basus safely a' PincGrove
church, and brother Crumpton gave us an
appropriate sermon, after which delegates
representing churehes dismissed from Santa
Fee Association, and churches recently or
ganized, seven in all, represented by dele
gates, called on us to moderate them, which
we did till roll of churches and messengers
was completed. Constitution, Rules and
Articles, were all adopted, when a permanent
organization was effected by the election of
Elder J. K. Sheffield, Moderator, and broth
er Ira J. Carter. C.erk. Then the body
went to work, and thus commenced the iiint
session of Harmony Association, which was
closed by a missionary, Gospel, Baptist,
doctrinal, experimental sermon,as the writer
thinks, on Sunday, followed by a good cash
collection, from a large, polite assembly.
On Saturday, a subscription of well nigh
a hundred dollars was taken for miss onarv
work in the Association, and really good
revival meetings were had on Missions,
Sunday-schools, and The Index, and the
body appointed a working committee to
make up a club of ten new subscribers, and
they did it. The brethren got warmed up,
and “talked in meeting,” and told how they
liked The Index, how it helped them, ho v
their children loved if, anil how it helped in
the Sunday-school, till all took it who were
able, and those who did not have the money,
wished they did.
But I must say no more, or I may be
charged with exaggerating, besides brother
Willis has something to tell us about the
north st. John's river association.
Brother Chacdoin: The North St.
John’s River Association held its second
annual meeting with Shiloh church, Clay
county, Fla., commencing on Saturday be
fore-theMfcarth Munday in Wctober of the
present year.
This lasly is composed of fourteen church
es, and embraces territory amply sufficient to
inspire the ho|>e that very soon this numlier
will be considerably enlargtd.
According to previous appointmen', Elder
B. W. Becks preached the introductory
sermon, and Elder E. B. Timmons, the
missionary sermon. Said brethren acquitted
themselves like faithful soldiers of the cross.
Officers were re-elected ns follows: Brother
E. B. Timmons, Moderator; James M.
Fraser, Clerk ; J. W. Weatherebee, Treasu
rer.
The business meetings were well attended,
and questions of importance were discussed
with some enthusiasm. Associations! mis
sions and Sunday-school work received
tqiecial attention. Au effort will be made
w.VW *° organize a Sunday-school Conven
tion.
The preaching services were abo well
attended, and many accepted the invitation
for prayer during the meeting. Visiting
ministers from New River and Alachua
Associations, assisted in these services.
The next annual meeting of this body will
be held with Beula church, i’utuam county,
on Saturday before the thin! Sunday in
October, 188(1. Paul Willis.
LTfO.lf FORT MYERS.
Dear Brother Ciiavdoin: In The
Index ot September 25th, in rho report of
the proceedings of the tkilumbia Baptist
Union, held with the church at Cypress
Lake, August 27th, 1 find the following
quiry and answer:
“Why are Baptists more air less, (at least
the lay im tubers,) ttian any other denomi
nation "Answer: Because they are so
sure that their policy is right, that they fail
to sustain their ministers,” etc.
1 must dissr nt from both the query and
the answer. Ido not believe that Baptists
are more neglige t ot duty than any other
detiomillalioo. To believe it would shake
my faith in the Baptist church. But this
query and answer not n ly accuses them of
being more remiss than any ethers. but at
tributes their remissr.iss to their strong faith
in the Baptist ihnr. n. Surely the brethren
do not mean what they say. iam surprised
that it found pl co in The Index. I have
been taught that obedience and good woiks
ure the fruits of tai th ; 1 am sine the beliel
of the tmlh never usiilted in anything
wring. Awuy, thin, with any system the
bid el id which lends to the neglect of Christ
linn duty This is rot true of the Baptist
church ; her ductrims uic divine, and to be
lieve them always results in consecration to
the scivice of God. it lucmlieis fail to do
their duty, it is foi the want ot faith, because
they do not beiieve what they profess, orese
they bale not been taught their duty.
Strange idea, that udilieis will not tight as
The Christian Index and South-western Baptist: Thursday, November 27, 1879.
well for a cause that they are sure is right.
Ministers are not supported because the
people believe whst they preach I What
then do thev-preach ? Perhaps here is the
trouble. Many of our ministers are pract -
cally anti-missionaries; they say and do
nothing for missions, or the support of the
Gospel. Very few of them depend upon I
the churches for a support; many of them I
give more time and attention to secular '
business than to the ministry. Ido not be I
lieve that a minis'er, celled of God and |
qualified, giving his whole time and talent '
to the work, doing his duty faithfully, and
teaching the people to do theirs, ever failed
to get a support.
In conclusion, I would ask the brethren
seriously : What good results from the dis
cussion of such questions as are usually con- |
sidered at these union meetings? Does it
promote jieace and harmony, and a higher
state of piety among the churches ? On the I
contrary,dors it not engender strife, and foster
a spirit of controversy, detrimental to growth
in grace and true spirituality of mind ? I
am opposed to religious debating societies.
We have enough differences without hunting
for and discussing these useless questions.
Instead, let our unions be unions indeed.
Let us meet and talk about Jesus, about his :
love, and what he has done for us, about our '
duties, about missions and Sunday-schools, (
about the salvation of sinners, and the worth
of immortal souls Stir up each other to I
love and good woiks. Do this, and we will I
have good meetings, Christians will be re- I
vived, sinners converted, and we will go j
home strengthened, and better prepared for ■
the work befois us. S.

A DARK CLOUD WITH A SILVER
LINING.
One of the saddest things connected with i
the late war is the fact that so many noble 1
men lost a limb, or limbs; and, saddest of all,
the most of them, from loss of time and
property, and other terrible results of the
war, {were seemingly destined to move on
through the dark shadows of adversity with
an empty sleeve, or upon crutches, dragging
their maimed bodies through the rough '
journey of life.
But thanks to the liberality of an appie- i
ciative people, and the wonderful ingenuity
of man, the halt and the maimed may take ,
courage, and looking up and beyond the dark
cloud of adversity, msy catch the silver
lining of hope, with the assurance that the j
empty sleeve may be filled with an arm that ■
can be used; and the awkward, tiresome j
crutches give place to limbs, both useful and ,
ornamental. Linder these considerations all
manufacturers of artificial limits, who are
skilled in their profession and satisfied with
reasonable compensation, should be consid
ered public benefactors.
The writer, who is a Georgian, justly
proud of his native Stale, fully appreciating
the justice and generosity of the late Leg is ■
lature in making an appropriation to furnish
limbs for those who lost them in the late i
war, and in full sympathy with all these un- |
fortunate sons of ‘the South, while spend
ing some time in the cities of New York
and Philadelphia, has taken special pains to
investigate the standing cf the various man- I
ufacturers of artificial limbs. While there ■
are many of whom our country may feel
justly proud, as skilled artisans, the writer
feels constrained to mention specially the
name of Mr. A. A. Marks, who is, anil has
been for many years, located at No. 575
Broadway, New York City. This special
reference is made after a cl< se and critical
investigation into bis present and past record,
covering an experience of over a quarter of
a century, during which time he has been
largely connected with Government con
tracts.. He can show many flattering testi
: monials from official sources, as well as from ,
private individuals, together with numerous -
I diplomas and first premiums.
Mr. Marks is a practical mechanic, thor
oughly acquainted with every detail of his
business. He is not only able to give to it
I his own personal attention, but has two sons
I who, by their close training have also ac i
| quired an experimental knowledge of the
business, and are fully competent to take
, charge of the different departments.
Mr. Marks has the rm st skilled mechani s
in bis manufactory, turning out frequently a
dozen or more limbs a week. It is interest
ing to sec bis patrons leave their crutches in
bis office, and walk iff apparent y who e;
men too, who had lost both legs and who
were brought in by attendants. Mr. Marks
also publishes a large illustrated pamphlet ol
over one hundred neatly printed pages, giv
ing full description of limbs, with a glint
tn ny testimonials of the superiority of his
work from those who use bis m ike, together
with much valuable information. On appli
cation lie will furnish the pamphlet free to
all who may be in need of limbs.
From the above considerations, together
with his long and succissful experience with
the public, and the fact that he has muile
some wonderful improvements, nnd having
some very d<sizable features peculiar to
his makeof limbs, and controlhd by bim
alone, the writer would unhesitatingly ad
vise and recommend all interested to confer
with Mr. Marks, No. 575 Broadway, New
York City, before making other engage
ments. Respectfully.
J. F. Reeves.

First Edition, 103,000*
So rapidly are orders increasing for the
December Scribner that it is thought the
the first edition of 103,000 will not supply
the demand. One cause of the recent in
creasein circulation, bv which 100,000 Nov.
NUMBERS WERESO’LD in TWO WEEKS,
is undoubtedly due to the growing interest
in the two serials, Henry James.Jr.'s, "Con
fidence,’’ and George W. Cable’s
NOVEL OF NEW ORLEANS LIFE,
i "The Gramlissimes.’’ This latter, begun in
November, promises to be among the
strongest works of fiction that have vet ap
pearwl in American literature. The Decern ,
ber number also includes
20 POEMS BY AMERICAN WOMEN,
comprising verse by many ot our most prom
inent women writers; “Two Visits to Victor
Hugo,” by H. H. Boyesen, with a large por
tr it engraved by Cole; an illustrated de
scription of the Johns Hopkins University;
a paper by Burroughs on “Nature and the
Poets?
"THE NEW CAPITOL AT ALBANY,”
it is thought, the first c mipletely illust.ated
description yet published—in eighteen pages
and with twentv-tbree drawings :
"SUCCESS WITH SMALL FRUITS,”
the second of E. P. Roe's valuable papers,
profusely illustrated, and an article on Cof
fee Culture in Brazil- an industry of world
wide interest, described from persona ob
servation .
"THE REIGN OF PETER THE GREAT, ,
by Eugene Schuyler, will begin in the Feb.
ruary nu Aber. The il lust ratio ns for the
