SAYINGS AND DOINGS.
—“I did so much enjoy his visit here,”
eave bro'her Willie ol brother Hare's visit.
Why should not every minister try to make
his visits enjoyable anu not disagreeable?
—“I enjoyed the Convention (at Madison)
so much.” Yes, and it you had not, it would
have been your own fault, Dr. Willis.
—' We were made happy recently by the
gathering in of our brethren, sisters and
friends, bringing nuny beautiful and valua
ble presents,” writes brother W. W. Roop, of
Carrollton, Georgia. Who will be the first.
pastor made happy that way in Florida?
—"Whoof us does not read the'Florida
Department' first of all ? We can’t do with
out it, and—.” That is a “crumb” sweet to
who? We did not say who.
—“Dr. Fish is doing a good work. I am
glad that he was warmly received at our
Convention.” We give you our hand on
that, Dr Willis.
—“1 have heard, this veer, fifty Baptist
sermons and lour Methodist, and can re
member nearly every text, by whom preach
ed, when and where.”—Mrs. 8. C. Harris.
—“Charity and patience are two grand
Christian graces I have earnestly tried to
obtain. The former is mine—the latter is
still to be won.”
—"I fear I love our denomination too
well.” 1 wish hundreds more of people were
like you in that.
—“I frequently remember you in mv feeble
prayers.” Thank the Lord for that. We
ask you, dear reader, to do so.
—“1 think It (Index) the best paper I ever
read."— T. W. Wilder.
—“Bbo. Chavdoin : Last second Sabbath
was preaching day at Providence church.
Elder Moseley, pastor elect for the ensuing
year, preached an in ten sting, edifying and
harmonising sermon. It was like balm from
Gilt ad. >iven by the skillful hand of Gilead's
Physician. The church seems delighted
with him, and proves itself pleast d by paying
him quarterly in advance. The future pros
pect is encouraging. Truly vours,
“G. W. S. Wabe,
“Mt. Tabor."
—“Drab Hbo. Chavdoin : Quite a flood
of sunlight came into the country pastor's
home (not parsonage) last Christmas. First,
a barrel of orangts, then turkeys, (mind, 1
say turkeys), and then a box of sundry com
fortables, which made wife and children all
happy. Yours in Christ.
“H. M. Kino.
"Gainesville, Dec. 30,1880.”
We received this after we had made the
inquiry above. Now, again we ask, who
next?
—Elder J. G. Taylor removes from Mt.
Tabor to near Welborn, where his corres
pondent* will address him in the future.
Glad are we that our brother did not leave
Florida.
•-"Can wait no longer, for fear my paper
will stop. With many thanks for not stop
ping my paper, 1 am, yours in love,
F. M. Wills.”
How much like a Christian our brother
writes. Header/ are you behind ? Look on
your last paper and see if (you have paid to
some time in 1881 ?
—"Unclk Shad: You must excuse my
short letter, tori have been helping Mamma,
and had to snatch time to write. I am going
to school now. Have got the promise of
four Sunday-school icholars since you were
here. I hope you will have a good time at
ihe Convention, Wish 1 could have gone to
it. You must come to see us soon, and bring
Aunt Carrie with you. 1 am your 1 viug
niece, Ida Hall.
“Melrose.”
Which one of our nieces will write us
next, and tell us what they are doing for
their Sunday-school?
ALACHUA ASSOCIA7ION.
Although late, we propose to carry our
readers through our Associational campaign
with us, but we will abbreviate more than
we desired. Getting from the North St.
John's to the A Incline was somewhat ro
mantic, a little vexatious, and not very
pleasant, except in small parts.
How we missed the stetrmer Marion at
Welaka. though in time to st e her smote;
remained line e lew hours pleasantly wait
ing lor a steamer to go to I'alatka. amt met
a pleiirant Tennessean fr< m lira'' our birth
place; how it rained in I'alatka etc , etc., we
will say no wore about Suffice it now to
say, we got to Fort McCoy in time to bear
the opening sermon by Dr. Sams, ami to we
attended all the sessions of the n.cetii g of
this banner Association of Ihe State, unless
it be theWestFlorida,which,in some particu
lars, excels it.
The attendance was good, nearly all the
churches represented and quite a nuu.her of
visitors, and consequently the number
present al all the meetings was enliven
ing. too.
The reports sent up were good, and sever
al new churches were nceived, but w. are
not able now to give statistics as we would
like, but will try to do so when we get the
Minutig. •
Missions occupied a large share of atte -
tion, as should always be the cash, for they
are missionary (Associations we mean) bod
?' spirit of missions in this body is
above what it is in some others. and'tLe
Sunday collections last year and this were
as large as the average of the very best A*so
ciatious in the older States. Elder Hughs
has agretd to devote half his time to mis
sionary work lor the body during 1881. A
handsome amount was given to both the
Boardeof the Southern Convention.
~ A u iNDKX boom wa- a marked feature of
Uiis meeting. By considerable, the Alachua

sufficient to give the paper to two old minis*

and we verily believe there are numbers of
good brethren who Want to lake the n*i er.
but are not able to doit.i.e., they are not able
to pay the subscription at any one time and
hence, are discouraged.
rw n . 'V? 1 J’ l ***’*'* ,0 u« was the meeting
of Miss Mamie Walton, a former frier d ol
ours, at Macon, Georgia. A true woman
and working Christian is she. "Wherever I
go, my church lettergora," she said to us.
Hence, she is known to be a Baptist,
wherever she goes, and does not wait to lie
bunted up and begged to come out. Miss
Mamie is teaching in Marion county, and is
teaching in Bundayscbool, too.
Our traveling companion, brother Pack,

in abundance. We have reason to remem

such good care of us. when we got off die
boat. Reader, you need not smile incredu
ou-)y, because we can t remember the broth

kindness are all photographed upon our
memory.
The next session was appointed to meet
at Leesburg. From the Association we were
conveyed to the comfortable borne of broth
er Hobkirk, one of nature’s noblemen, a na
tive Floridian, on Orange Lake, where we
spent a night and part of the following day
as pleasantly as we could ask. In the after

A LETTER OF GREETING.
Ylu know that many of our readers will be
glad to ate the following beautiful letter
from a good man, who is only waiting in
the land of Beulah bis summons to come up
higher. The reading of the letter before the
Convention was an occasion of deep and
solemn interest and it was ordered to be
printed in tiie Minutes of the session :
"To the President of the Florida Baptist
Convention, convened at Madison. Florida:
“Drab Brother —I desire, through you,
to tender my acknowledgements to thebielli
ten for their kind and considerate remain
brance of me, by inviting me to attend your
present session on this, the Twenty-sixth
Anniversary since its foundation in the
county where you sre now convened, and of
which Convention I had the honor of being
a constituting member, ami. consequently,
one of the two or three survivors.
"The infirmities of age, engagements here,
and present illness, by the providence of
God, prevent my responding in p-rson, allow
me to say that I hope aud believe 1 am with
you in spirit, and my prayer is that God may
be with you. guidiug in ail your delibera
tions now about closing, aud that His peace
may be unto you.
"Brethren, I am well aware that this world
is not my home ; that I belong to the past
generation, having already, by the grace of
God. bad five years of life added to the Scrip
t lira I number of years allotted man—and the
truthfulness of that Scripture is exemplified
and evidenced in me by that following, that
the strength of those years are buttrouble
and sorrow.
"The world, brethren, during the existence
of your body, has passed through many
phases of government in Church aud State—
our own country not excepted—and while
the tendency is, and has been, to revolution,
infidelity aud rationalism, it is a source of
gratification to know, hitherto you have
he d fast to the injunctions of Paul, to hold
fast to the doctrines of our Savior, and may
you continue in the faith of the supernatur
al religion ot the New Teetameut, despite
the wisdom of the Greek.
"Again, brethren, I beseech God's bles-ing
upon you, that lie will guide you in council,
go with you as you journey, and restore you
to the bosom of your families, to find rest at
the termination of your journey, and may
life's journey also terminate with peace and
rest in the bosom of your God ; and. finally,
to rest on the thrones of truth which you
have inherited.
"Yours in Christ,
“8. Alex. Smith.

The Peninsula railroad has been com
pleted. Tbi< will complete the railway
communication of Orange Lake with the
world, and leaveyOcala only eighteen
miles off. What fias been attained by
the company to Orange Lake may con
fidently be expected for Ocala within the
next two months. Marion is one of the
best agricultural and orange-growing
counties in the State, and with railroad
connection it will advance rapidly in
every material interest.
—The Fernandina Mirror says that "in
addition to the large number of persona
coming into Florida by every train and
steamer, we learn that large numbers are
coming in by private conveyance. A re
sident of Starke informs us that at least one
hundred conveyances of per-ona moving
imo the country have passed through
Starke within the last two weeks. We note
these signa of an increase of our popula
tion and means of husbandry with gnat
satisfaction.”
—Says the Fernandina Erpren: “By a
decree of the Uniied States Court, Judge
Settle presiding, the Atlantic, Gulf and
West. India Transit Railroad w ill be sold
on February 7, 1881. The sale is made,
we understand, says the Unien, by vir
tue of a harmonious arrangement bet
ween all the bondholders, and will in no
way affect the existing obligations of the
company; on the contrary, it will, weaie
assured, provide nsuni of money to put
the road in first-class order by the pur
chase of iron, rolling stock, etc. The
bonds are nearly all held by the estate
of Marshall O. Roberts."
The present cold spell it is thought
will not materially injure the Floiida
orange trees, though in Some cases the
fruit was frozen. A disnatch to the Nun
and I’renf from Sanford states that there
is no a| preciable injury fr.-m frost there,
or in Banford Giant. Oranges, lemons,
pine apples, guavas, all right, but tomat
oes and some tender legetables were cut
down. Col. Hart, of Palatka, thinks that
the fruit on bis grove opposite that city
on the east side of the river, is not in
jured. He had large fires built near the
grove the night after the freeze, and the
up-river boats report seeing such tires all
along the river that night.

acknowledge the benefit* derived. The fifth day

I call*: it required the aid of two persona, even
then occasioning excruciating pain. I tried an
invalid chair, air cushions an uriuala, and in
deed everything that was recommended, and all
l proved a failure. But the llrat few days after
: using your Bed I realized a decided change for
j the better. My husband is lu hia seventy-sixth
year; a* intimated above, he has entirely lost
the use of his limbs, and Is consequently con
i stoutly recumbent. He haa been relieved ol
■ bed-sore, aud uowenjoys perfect comfort. The
I be<l linen remains dry, which was not the case
I before, and a great deal of lab--r has been saved
in lifting and washing the bed-linen, un<l scarce
i ly any aitentlon is required. Your Bed is perfect;
and knowing it to be entirely safe. I would not
risk changing it for any consideration I would
advise all who contemplate getting an Invalid
i Bed to buy yours. I know the result wilt be sat
