8 Florida Department. W.B. CHAUDOIN Correiponding Editor and Agent JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. WEEKL Y CORRESPONDENCE. I fake much pleasure in laying the fol lowing h her be fore my Florida readers, and thereby introduce to them a new writer: Dear Unci k Shad : I have heen want ing arid intending to write to you for a long lime, in fact ever since rei ing y< trr request in the good old Index for cotrea nondence, but have continm d to pvt < ff tor to morrow things that should be done to-day, until thia late- eleventh hour. But now, Uncle Shad, you must accept me as a ‘ niece” for the sake of papa and “auld lang syne,” for if I mistake not, yon at d be were young men together and started in life, or your calling, about the same time. I have seen you. butwas so small then I do not remember now bow y<.u look, but we have jour picture and <v< rybody says it is just’like ■> ou. I always lo< k in The Index the first thing for Kmething firm you or your corn s| undents. 1 enjoy the letters.’and wish more of the people would write to you. But I expect Olliers th nk as I do, so I have decided to “come to the front” with a letter. 1 want to write especially to t< II you about the go< d meetings we had in the summer, at this church and at Campbellton. At the latter j lace papa baptized eh ven, and four others were received by letter and r< storation. Here only two were I aptized and one was re stored, myself making one of the num ber that was baptized. Fapa says he never attended a bett ß r meeting than the oner at 0. mpellt< n; it was a revival in the true sei se of the word. The meeting here at Greenwood was n good one too. I cannr t tell you how happy and glad 1 am that I have sought and f< und the Savior early. I only know that 1 love Him “best,” and thank Him every hour of my life for making me, sinful and unworthy as J am, one of His “lambs.” And I shall try, with Hi- help, not to bring reproach on His cause, but do all I can for His glory. Uncle Fhad, 1 am very smry to sav that this will have to be only a “love letter,” but this is not the last time 1 shall wri’e, and the next will In- more sub stantial. 1 luq e you will come to see us sometime before long. Yon have no idea how glad everybody would be, and < s peciidly papa, to see you. I guess I had better dose tnis letter, as I don’t ex| ect you have lime to rend many such, and you might get tired of this. \ ery trulls, your niece, Kate Langley. Greenwood, Fla.

You must try to come over to Talla hassee, in January, and shake hands ] with Middle, bast and South Florida,and bring along that precious brother 1 met in T. last winti r, and bring Kate, too. An Inconsistency. -The different I’e dobaptist sects are inconsistent to main tain their separate organizations, when they commune together. We would live in fellowship with any denomination with which we could commune at the i Lord’s table, or in the Lord’s Supper. | There are differences between them, we { know, but they being judges, their differ- j enees arc. of miner importance They so | far overlook all differences as to meet at ! a common table, ami thus acknowledge I each other to be churches. Then we in- i sist, they owe it to themselves, to the world, and to Christ, to waive all minor diflereneva, and combine in one vast or ganization. They are all akin, near oi kin, and would have no compromises to make, worth naming. It is sometimes intimated, that but for our “restricted communion.” a union of all Christians might be effected. But there seemsto be no tendency in “open," or "free,” or inter-communion, to unite those who practice it. They are all as far from union as when they commenced ) to live. Methodists are no nearer being , I‘rer-byierians, or i’resbvterians being , Methodists. Not even have theditferent kinds of the same order united. They i are all inconsistent. If they can live | together at the Supper, they should all I the time. W. N. 0. Gold Refined.-- A Christian woman thus writes to us, aft era severe affliction : ! “Thus you see God taught us in aflliciions 1 much that we had failed to learn by His 1 mercies. The sincerity of brotherly love i was exhibited much more plainly than in prosperity. God’s speedy answer to the i prayers of His people, and how dear we j were to each other, and how dear our I children were to us! With how much endurance He bore with us, who were I bearing so little fruit! 1 thank God for sweet affliction. I would not take heaps of sordid gold for the lessons learned, , and sweet promises found under the rod of affliction.” A Family Incident.- A pious man, a ! friend and acquaintance of ttie writer, | but a retiring, self-distrustful man, in ; some respects did not have family pray-; er. Thus he lived till his oldest child j was eight years old. Two or three mouths I ago, tiiat father had a severe spell of sickness, and was brought near to death, I but recovered. A few days after that | father got up, little Virgil got the Bible , and lamp, one evening, and asked his father earnestly to pray for him, and that father prayed,' and has done so every night since. "A little child shall lead them.” Will some girl or boy who reads tins, ask their father to pray tor tin m ’ The Christian Index and South-western Baptist: Thursday, December 18, 1879. BRIEF NOTES. “It takes grace, grit and greenbacks to run a Sunday school,” is the way a brother in Florida puts it, and it’s about ro. It is no flattery, but it is a fact, with enconragrment to'others to say, that. Elder G. T. Gneham is mimed in the Alachua Association. The young brother did a lasting woik in his two years’ stay in Florida. Tell us about the Corvention, brother Gwynne aid brother Mcodie. Do you want a crow d? Thia will do to think about, for young and old: ‘ 'Howe'er it be. It seems to me, ’Tin noble only to be od; Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith, then Norn an blood 1” Now, r< ader, be kind hearted, ard send me a mistionary “love Utter,” and some money to ft nd The Index to wme poor person. That would be “noble” indeed. Christmas is coming; a merry t’n e it is generally. Now begin to prepare pres cuts for your jaslorend family, for mis tiors, and for the poor. -I want to get one hundred live letters with a Christ mas gift for mifs : ons, and 1 hope ene dozen snbscrij tions will be receivt d. making The Index a Christmas or New Year’s present to some one not able to pay for it. I km w such parlies, if you t’onot; so send me the money, and it shall be properly used. Remember, yon can send The Index a year for $1 .GO as a present. We were passing the house of a Meth odist minister recently, and the j arty we v ere in < < mpeny with stopped ar d to< k one of his cbi'dren to raise. The good man’s wife had died but a little m bile he fore, and he was left destitute and the children small. One bright lit le girl bad already found a gm d home with a good I Baptist man, and he bad found a good 1 family to take another. The God of heaven will smile upon such persons. I et us be kind to the motherleas. Our campaign of the Associations was just a little too severe for our strength. We were thrown into fever from being overtaxed. At present, we are nearly ready for the field again. Fray for us, readers Brethren, help its work for The Index. Every subscriber sent ns helps the work of missions 1 very where, and in Florida it does so in two wavs Send on names. W. N. C. A Racefd Event.- I wish to make a brief reference to one of the most sacred, solemn, vet precious events, I was ever permitted to lie a party to It was im posed nn me. or niv services were a«ked, as the bearer of gratuitous fur ds, a spon taneous < fi’irinv of Chrhtian heart", to a •widow, the w idow of a deceased minister. Ob ! how we enjoyed that occasion! What wph raid, what was witnessed, what was dot e, was too sacred to print. At one time I thought it would be salu tary Io n ake mention of one or two things, but niv feeling" forbid, and the feeling® of another foh'd i'. Did God’s people know or have just concet ti< n of the go d feeling they cause, or might produce hv the exorcise of a 1 large benevolence, there would be more | of it. Prayfr Mkftinor. Brother N. T.
