torate of Paran church, and accepts. Our
good sister, Elma A. Rogers, is happy in her
new home, and invites The Index man to

JEFFERSON COUNTY NEWS.
—Dfar Brother Chaudoin : During the
past year the Ebenezer church resolved to
try to raise the means to erecta plain monu
ment to the memory of Rev. W. B. Cooper,
who was her pastor for about twenty-five
years, and appointed brethren G. T. Leitner,
W. W. Abbott and the writer to try to pro
cure funds for that purpose. The Florida
Association, in 1879, added to the Church
Committee brethren A. C. McCanls, I). M.
Walker and Janies H. Wentworth, (so I am
informed), the Clerk of the Association failed
to insert their names. The difficulty of
getting the committees together for co
operation, the stringency of the times, and
my indisfiosition have prevented mo from
reporting the amounts received by me soon
er, widen are as follows: G.T. Leitner, 50c.;
J. B. Law and mother, by Dr. Chaudoin,
$3.00 ; sister H. L. Averett, $1.00; 8. M.
Scruggs, SI.OO ; cash $5 00; collected last
Association, $5 50; total in cash, $lO 00; in
pledges, $0.75. Any amount the friends of
brother Cooper may feel disposed to cons
tribute to the above object will be promptly
acknowledged by either of the above named
committee, or the writer, and applied to said
object. Those who were acquainted with
brother C. and his labors and hardships,
• know it would be but a small tribute to his
memory. But for the extreme poverty of
the church, we would not submit to the hu
mility of begging.
Brother Chaudoin, a portion of your field
Ot labor is on ground occupied by him years
ago. Can't you beg a little for us? I will
write you again when 1 receive more funds.
Your brother in Christ,
W. H. Scßuoas.

MISSIONARY JTEMB.
—Little Lula Harris is a missionary. She
picked cotton and earned in that wav $2.70,
and only spent the 70 cents for herself.
—Little Hannah Hobson sent ten cents
and her “love to Uncle Shad.”
—Mamie Hughes gave us her contribution
at the Association.
—Little Lillian Proctor sent us $1.25, pro
ceeds of an Indian Missionary hen.
—Fifty-six churches of the Sandwich Is
lands, numbering 7,258 memberagave, last
year, $3,803 02 to Foreign Missions, or about
a half dollar per member.
—Baptist work was begun in Jamaica, one
of the West Indian islands, eighty years ago
by two negroes, who had been slaves in Vir
ginia. There was then no religion in the
island, but now there are one hundred and
twenty Baptist churches and eighteen thous
and members.
—Mibbionahy Zeal. —A poor blind girl
brought to a clergyman thirty shillings for
the missionary cause. He refused to take it,
saying:
"You are a poor blind girl, and cannot
afford to give so much.”
"I am indeed blind,” said she, ‘‘but can
afford to give this money better, perha]>s,
than you suppose.”
"How ao?"
“lam, sir, bv trade a basket-maker, and
can work as well in the dark as in the light.
Now, I am sure, in the last dark winter it
must have cost those girls who have eyes
more than thirty shillings for candles to
work by, which 1 have saved; and therefore
1 hope you will take it for the missionaries.”
FLORIDA BAPTIST STATE CON
VENTION.
This body held its annual session for this
year with the Baptist church in our town,
iximmencing on Friday, December 10th, and
continuing until the following Monday.
Quite a number of visitors were in attend
ance.
The Convention was organized on Friday
afternoon by the election of Rev. W. N. Chau
doin,Moderator, and Rev. Paul Willis, Secre
tary. The same afternoon all the commit
tees were appointed, when the Convention
adjourned. That night Rev. E. Z. F. Golden,
of Thomasville, preached a fine sermon to a
la-ge and attentive congregation.
Saturday morning tbe Convention met
when the committees began to report.
The Committee on Education made its re
port. During tbe consideration of this re
port, Rev. M. B. Wharton, Corresponding
Secretary of tbe Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, located at Louisville, Kentucky,
engaged the attention of tbe body with a
speech, soliciting aid for the college. After
his talk *1.050 were subscribed in aid of the
college. Dr. J. L. A. Fish, Principal of the
Florida Baptist Institute, (colored), located
at Live Oak, spoke in reference to his school.
In tbe report was embodied a resolution to
tbe effect that feeling the need of a school
where to educate our young ministers, that
a Board of Trustees be appointed, with full
power to decide and locate a school at a suit
able point. In the afternoon session the re
port was adopted.
At night Rev. W. M. Davis, of I*ke City,
preached an excellent sermon on worship.
After the sermon the Convention held a short
session, during which the report of tbe Com
mittee on Temperance was presented. This
report embodied a resolution in favor of the
local option law. Soul-stirring addresses
were delivered on the subject by Dra Whar
ton and Mays, and Revs. Golden, McCall,
Pack and Bailey. Tbe report was adopted.
On Bunday morning J. G. McCall, Esq , of
Quitman, delivered a tine address to the
Sunday-school. At eleven o’clock Dr. J. F.

At three o'clock a Sunday-school mass
meeting was held, which was largely attend
ed. Fine sddretsee were delivered by Revs.
Golden. Pack and Wharton.
Sunday night Dr. M. B. Wharton, of Ma
con, Georgia, delivered a grand sermon on
“Time."
After the sermon a short session of the
Convention was held, when the report of the
Committee on Missions was presented. This
report embodied a rt solution that a Board of
M iseions be appointed. Able addresses were
delivered on tne subject. The report was
adopted. To start with, several hundred
dollars were pledged by different churches.
Rev. W. N. Chaudoin was elected Corres
ponding Secretary.
Monday morning the Convention met
again. Reports from the Committees on De
ceased Ministers, Finance, and Religious
Literature, were presented and adopted.
The committee to take in band the college
and the Mission Board were appointed. It
was decided that the Mission Board decide
where the next Convention shall be held.
After passing the usual resolutions of
thanks the Convention adjourned sine die.
—Madison Recorder.
To the above account of our Convention
we add only a few words just now. Thelast
was surely the most interesting, and may
prove to be the most important, session that
has been held since we have been laboring
in the State. The preaching was good, even
some better, all in all, than usual at such
meetings. The addresses were excellent.
The 11 umber of visitors and their aid was a
marked feature of the session. Os them
brother Willis says: ‘‘Of the new ones I
would speak of brother McCall's thorough
ness and logic; of brother Davis’ warmth
and glow of heart; of Dr. Mays’ zeal and
enthusiasm ; brother Hare made a nice little
speech for The Index. Time fails me to
speak of others." And we add for him, of
Dr. Wharton’s addresses and sermons, who,
always ready and happy, did seem especially
so on that occasion. We have never seen,
we think, as much done with as good feeling,
as much ease, and as little audience, as he
did for our beloved Seminary at Madison.
In the words of brother W ill is, again we re
peat: "Madison hospitality was generous,
lavish, and will do to praise a long time. I
shall not forget the kindness of Capt Inglis
and family. We were royally entertained."
Yes, and every one felt that wav. One fact
which we enjoyed much was that tbe com
munity, the Church and citizens witnessed
so much of the proceedings, especially the
discussion of temperance and missions.
The most important move oraction of the
meeting as to itself and future prosperity.was
the formation of a State Board of Missions, as
we think, though the a tion in regard to a
school may turn out to be us important. Os
both these movements we will have more
to say in the future.
How we felt tbe power or strength of our
new members, as well as visitors, lire. Mays,
Davis and Bailey! And if King, Waugh,
Sams. Crumpton, Lawton and others could
have been present, bow glad we would have
been! Then, too, we missed West Florida,
that helped so much last year.
The Convention captured Madison, and
Madison came very near capturingtbe Con
vention for another year, but the body con
cluded not to accept their invitation to come
again next year just then, but may do so
yet. W. N.C.
A AW DEPARTURE.
Dear Bro. Chaudoin : Peniel church is
situated five miles west of I’alatkn, in a dense
ly settled, enterprising neighborhood. This
church has been in existence twenty-eight
years, and has now a membership of one
hundred, some of whom lire active, progres
sive, earnest Christians. Up to October 1879
this church, in common with all the other
country churches in Florida, had only
monthly preaching. Then, however, ar
rangements were made with the writer
whereby bis services were secured to the
church for all bis time.
We entered upon this new departure in
the light of an experiment, which so far
proved a success that, on the 26th of last Op
tober, we were re elected pastor for another
year, with increase of salary and other tokens
of appreciation. During the yearthe church
enjoyed a quiet, steady revival, and received
into its fellowship by baptism twenty-three,
and by letter four. Wednesday evening
prayer-meetings were kept up. A live Sun
day school was maintained, under the
thoughtful superintendency of brother J.
W. Weatherabee. A Young Men’s Prayer
meeting was organized, and is now bearing
precious fruit. We did not contribute for
educational and missionary purposes as
much as we desired, but hope to do so this
year. We contemplate organizing a Mission
ary Society in the near future.
This is not written in a boastful spirit.
Our desire has been simply to give facts and
state results; hoping thereby to induce other
churches to follow Peniefs example. In
the way of having weekly public worship
there are some difficulties, but they may be
overcome by a pastor's engaging to live on a
small salary, and the church’s exerting itself
to pay every cent of that.
Paul Willis.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
—Sister Hobkirk says: “We have had
serious sickness since you left,” but all were
“well again.” Glad to hear the latter part.
—Young brother Blitch—we love the
Blitches—writes from Archer again, telling
us he had enjoyed a visit to his home church
and hearing pastor Crumpton preach; sym
pathized with brother Plummer in the loss
of his daughter (or rather death of his
daughter, for we hope lie lias not lost her);
that Tux Index was welcome to him, and
hopes to send us some money soon. We
are glad to hear from you, brother W. Write
again.
—Brother Crosby, Waldo, write;: “I can't
renew at present, and must say stop my pa
per; though 1 feel like 1 was giving up the
next thing to the Bible." Now, will not his
brethren, at some one of bis churches, make
up a dollar,or two dollars, and send to us for
him, and let him know nothing about it?
He must have The Index.
—Brother Becks recently closed a good
meeting at Oceola church, east of the St,
John’s river, mid baptized three converts.
He is serving five churches the present year,
and fears he will break down physically;
but says, “with the great destitution there
is upon the St. John’s river, I can only say,
Lord, help me to do all that I can, and to
thy great name, be all the glory."
—From Tampa brother Jaudon sends a
letter, with one renewal* and three new
names.
—Florida Baptiste, read this, reflect, pray
and send us a missionary contribution: “I
met brother Collier yesterday, who has been
doing mission work for the Florida Confer
ence u; on this field, and he said to me,
‘Brother Becks, tbe people among whom I
have labored this year, are Baptista in senti
ments, and they are ripe for the Gospel. Do
send them a missionary.' ” He had beeu
laboring on the St. John's river.
—There are few in the State who help us,
or cheer us more than some sisters, and
among them, none more than sister Harris.
God bless them all.
—We will have something to say soon
about the Convention at Madison. Just
now, we will say, we regard it as the best or
most important meeting of that body y/e
have ever attended.
—We beg all our Florida readers, to read
carefully what Drs. Tucker and Henderson
have written about Christmas, New and Old
Year, etc. We simply say, “Happy New
Year,” it will be to all, if we set out to, and
by God’s grace, shall be more active Chris
tians than ever before, and may we all try
to do so.
—The following cheers us. We publish
it that our readers may see bow one pastor
and missionary appreciates The Index.
“Rev. W. N. Chaudoin, Jacksonville. Fla:
‘•Dear Sir and Brother: Inclosed please
find one dollar, for which you will please
send the dear old Index to Henry C. Parker
for the length of time it will pay for. I
think he will be sure to renew bis subscrip
tion; as he is quite able and has promised to
do so should he like The Index—and who
that reads it, can help liking it? I regret
that I cannot do more at this time. I hot-e
to do better soon; also, to send you another
scribble for publication.
“Wishing you health, happiness and
prosperity, I remain, etc.,
"Yours till Glory,
“Wm. F. Malphues.
“Starke, Bradford county, Fla., Dec. 20th,
1880.”
—W r e expect to spend tbe second Sunday
in January, 1881, with Dr. 8. F. Gove, in Or
ange county—perhaps at Harmony church,
—the third Sunday at the church near Lake
Jessup, and be at the Union meeting at Lake
Haney church the fourth Sunday. Will tbe
brethren please give notice of these appoint
ments as much as possible? Brother Gove
will either hold a protracted meeting from
the second to third Sunday or else arrange
for otherappoiutmeuts.
—The notice in The Index, of December
23d, that more space would be allowed to
Florida, was welcome news to many. We
know how our brethren feel about it. The
Index has published all sentin from Florida,
but sometimes it was getting stale. Now,
brethren, show your appreciation of a berth
on this grand old ship, by trying to get
other passengers The berth may not be as
large yet as you desire, but the vessel is safe.
Write us now, often, short, and send us
some new names. Tell everybody to not
forget to write to W. N. Chaudoin, at Jack
sonville, Fia.
NORTH ST. JOHNS RIVER A SSO-
CI AT ION.
En route from the Suwannee to the above
Association, we parted with you, gentle
reader, at Jacksonville, the “Gate City” of
the State, it may be called.
There was but little space between our ar
rival there, and our departure, so you must
not expect us “to do the city,” for we have
too much else to do in such a short time.
Well, it is done, and we are ready to depart
on the comfortable mail boat, Palestine, at 10
o’clock. There is much beauty, propriety,
and significance in names sometimes. We
had never thought specially about the name
of this steamer, on which wo had traveled
before, till we found ourself—our whole self
—thinking what a pleasant pastime this is,
compared to some traveling we do. The
day is bright and balmy. The saloon is
largo and well furnished with chairs, loung
es, etc. Awhile we—not the corresponding
we, but tbe traveling we, Chaudoin and
Pack—rest from our running around in the
city. Then we stand out and admire some
thing where the vessel stops to leave a mail.
Now we are gazing at the beautiful orange
groves, tbe neat residences and high bluff at
Madarin, the place made notable parti) as
the residence, in the winter, of Harriet
Beecher Stowe, the authoress of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin." We point out to brother
Pack the very bouse, under the spreading
live oaks, but he did not know about "Uncle
Tom's Cabin,” and was not impressed much
by being so near the one who wrote the
book. Well, we went into the yard once,
and walked through her grove, but we did
not see her, and if we gathered any inspi-a
tion from our proximity, it was so much
like “insensible perspiration,” we were not
conscious of it.
Now, we both write some; then we read,
and then sleep some, converse awhile, and
amid all, not by any means was dinner the
least interesting part of that pleasant ride.
My young traveling Companion wouldapeak
of it for days afterwards, with a good deal of
zest.
We safely reached Palatka at dark, and
now begins the dark side of our day's expe
rience. The mail steamer from Palatka to
Enterprise, to leave on our arrival, is our
only chance for getting to our Association,
ami that boat is only about 25 feet long, and
is crowded already with people who have
attended the political speaking. Possibly we
can get a seat on top, so we have our bag
gage put on, and after three row boats, to
carry forty-one men, are arranged for tow
ing, a..d are tied to the steamer, we leave to
go yet twenty-five miles or more up the riv
er.
In the “small hours of the morning” we
arrive at Fruitland, our destination. How
fortunate for us that we had a pleasant day
to prepare us for sitting up all night, and
such a pleasant night too, to sit up; warm,
almost balmy. And for us—editorially now
—it was so fortunate that brother Wingate,
living near the landing, bearing we were to
be up that night, had arranged for us to go
no further than his house.
Sunday morning we repaired early to the
meeting bouse ot Beulah church, passing on
the way, just a little short of it, the Metho
dist meeting house, and in which it had
been arranged to have preaching. As the
audience could all get in the Methodist
house—being larger than the BSptist house
—it was decided to meet there only.
Elder Paul Willis preached the Missionary
sermon from the Commission, as given by
Matthew. It was a brief, clear, systematic,
good sermon. He made three points. 1.
Making disciples. 2. Baptizing disciple. 3.
Training disciples.
A traveling, visiting minister was request
ed to take a collection, which he did, and
from a good-humored audience, received a
fair cash collection for Associational mis
sions.
A good and profitable meeting was held
in the afternoon, after partaking of a boun-.
teous repast, conducted by brother 11. M.
Pack.
Monday was passed about as usual in As
sociations. giving time enough to get
through thebusineas, and listen to a sermon,
but more time was really needed. The prin
ci pal interest on Monday was Associational
mission work.
There is a great deal of destitution in tbe
territory covered by this body, stretching for
miles on the east side ot the St. John's riv
er, and a considerable section iu the north
ern part of the Association, west ot the river.
There are quite a number of the churches
that are not able to support the Gospel with
out help, and many places where there are
no churches, and there are very few church
es able to do much—so few that the efforts
made are not effective as might be. because
not continued or kept up. But the brethren
“have a mind to work, and do what they
can, and seemed at the present session to be
determined to do more. Brother T. Hind,
a large-hearted brother at Georgetown (and
a minister) agreed to pay SSO (if we remem
ber properly) fur missionary work on the
Fruitland Peninsula-
Three new churches—as we remember it—
were admitted, and one of them was Har
mony church, in Volusia county, and it sent
a large and res|>ectable representation con
sisting of brethren Brooks and Osteen and
Misses Clara and Charlotte Sauls.
Elder B. W. Becks was Moderator, and
brother John Becks, clerk —goon officers.
The'brethren took good care of us all, and
The Index man has special cause to remem
ber kindly his hosts, brethren Wingate, San
ders and Elder C. A. Koger. We do have the
best luck in getting among clever Metho
dists, like brother Sanders. We love them
sure, and hope some one will tell brother
Sanders so, for us. Brethren Hind and Ko
ger, we had not met before, and we are glad
to know them, and want to know them bet
ter.
We have a Httle regret about our visit to
Beulah, and that is that we got no more
subscribers. On the east side of St. John's,
they don’t take papers, a; other sections do,
and they suffer from it. Will each one on
that side, who reads this article, try to get
one more subscriber for us? Please try.
Readers, we are not to blame for this account
of this Association being so late, but never
mind; better late than never—may be.

FLORIDA’S GARDEN SPOT.
“No county in the State,” says Hon.
Seth French, the State Commissioner
of Immigration, “has increased in pop
ulation and improvement so rapidly
during the last ten years as Orange
county, and large accessions from the
Northern and Western States, of re
fined, cultivated and wealthy citizens
are constantly being made. The in
dustry, energy and progressive spirit
manifested in this county is of the
character manifested in the North and
Northwest, and cannot fail of ultimate
success.”
This is the official testimony of a
high State officer and can, therefore,
be fully relied upon as accurate. A
new narrow gauge railroad now runs
from Sanford, on Lake Monroe, to Or
lando, passing Lake Maitland and Vir
ginia Lake, where young orange groves
and lake-side villa lots can be had on
favorable terms. No better society is
to be found in Florida. Address Capt.
