IL Moseley is boarding near White Spring. Ixing Branch church ismak an effort to finish theirhouse of worship. Two deaths and a marriage recently in the vieinity of Long Branch —and she lias ob tained three new subscribers for Thk Index in her church, and was happy over her suc cees, after having “talked and talked for The Index with such poor success.” PUTNAM COUNTY NEWS. —Elder Becks has been called to the pas torate of Paran church, and accepts. Our good sister, Elma A. Rogers, is happy in her new home, and invites The Index man to come to see her and husband. The Execu tive Committee of N. St. John’s Association held a meeting—divided their territory into three districts, and asked the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention to help them to supply the destitution in their midst. 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. Williamsburg, Fla. —Rev. A. O. McCants has moved to Mon ticello, Jefferson county, where he lias been preaching two Sundays in each month for some time. 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. B. Mays, of Jacksonville, delivered a very THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1881. fine sermon to a crowded house, on the com munion. 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. W. N. C. 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. B. R. Swoope, Lake Maitland, Orange county, Florida, for particulars. 15 Stop Organs SSB.
