CHIPS AND SPLINTERS.
—■'Of ail the ugly sights I ever saw, a
drunken Baptist is the ugliest.” This was
said by one that fears sometimes being too
much in love with the Baptist denomina
tion.
—A Christmas Tree at Oclawaba Bridge
church yielded a set of harness for pastor
Parker. We would like to hear of some
more such trees.
—Here are some “splinters” from Josh
Billings. Mind how you handle them, or
they will stick in your fingers:
“There are two kinds of fools in this world
—those who can't change their opinions and
those who won’t."
“A good doctor is a gentleman to whom
we pay three dollars a visit for advising us
to eat less and exercise more.”
•‘Out in the world men show us two sides
to their characters; by the fireside only
one.”
“The world is filling up with educated
fools—mankind read too much and learn too
little.”
“Every man has his follies, and oftentimes
they are the most interesting things he has
got.”
—A ladv in Florida —once a Presbyterian
now an Episcopalian— explaining why she
changed said, among other things, she
“could not stand the predestination of the
Presbyterians.” How little a great many
people know of the difference between sects,
or of their own sect. That lady did not know
there were any articles of religion in the
Episcopal Church, or she had not taken the
pains to learn what they were. No, no, she
might have to change again.
—We have received the Minuses of the
Santa Fee River and Wekiva Associations.
The former were printed at' Jasper, the latter
at the Franklin Steam Printing House and
Blank Book Manufactory, Atlanta, Georgia.
Both are well gotten up.
—The Committee on Publications of the
Wekiva Association presented, and the body
adopted, the following: “We commend to
the support and confidence of our brethren,
The Christian Inpex. It has been doing
good service for the faith once delivered to
the saints. Its 'Florida Department’ is a
necessity to every Baptist in our State. We
also recommend “Kind Words” to every
church and Sunday-school.” Now, a ques
tion arises. Are not the Committee who
reported, and the delegates who adopted,
that report acting inconsistently if they do
not take, and labor to get every Baptist to
take, The Index? “A necessity to every
Baptist in the State." Well, we will not
deny it, but we know a great many of them
get along somehow without it. Do not ask
us how, for we do not love to talk about
that. A Necessity!
Qrarnr.
Deab Brother: Please let me know
whether you recognize one as a regularly
ordained minister when ordained by two
ministers only ? We say three has always
been the old custom among Baptists. Let
us hear from you on the subject. J. P.
ANSWER.
1. We answer yes, we would recognize or
dination by two men, or ministers, as valid,
regular. We do not just now call to mind
any special instruction in the New Testa
ment, as to how many are necessary.
2. We would not recommend ordinations
though to be done, except in very special
cases, by less than a presbytery of three or
more. We are told to “lay hands sudden
ly on no man.” Too many men are or
dained te the ministry who cannot teach,
and others are ordained who have not the
traits, or character required. Too many are
ordained because they are so anxious to be
ordained, and their anxiety is sometimes
reason for not “laying hands" cn them. In
view of these facts, caution should be used,
and all saleguards placed around the work
of ordaining men to the ministry. Hence,
a presbytery should consist of three or more
ministers. Our brother is right in saying
the “old custom" has been three or more.
We do not now call to mind an instance
in which less than three ministers took part.
In our country there is no necessity for
haste, or having a man set apart by a small
presbytery, for ministers can be had to per
form any particular work that an ordained
minister is needed to do, and a goodly num
ber can usually, by a little delay, be gotten
together, to ordain a man if found worthy.

REV. JAMES PAGE.
Rev. James Page was born August 13th,
1807, in the city of Richmond, Va. In the
month of August, 1823, he was converted,
and in November following was immersed
by Rev. Mr. Keeling, pastor of the First
Baptist church, in what was called "the
basin.”
He left Richmond on the 27th of Novem
ber, 1827, with Col. John Parkhill, for Flor
ida, and leached Tallahassee, December
25tn. He was called to ordination by the
church in New Port, Florida, which took
place on the 3rd Sunday in May 1861, and
Robert Long and W. P. Cooper were a part
of the PresbyterV.
Elder Page will be 74 years old next Au
gust, and has been preaching nearly thirty
J ears since his ordination. As early as
anuary, 1857, the writer, while on a visit to
Tallahassee, visited the church of colored
Baptists at Bell Air, a little way from the
city, and preached for brother Page, who
was pastor of the church. He was highly
spoken of then, having the confidence of
Years passed away, and 1860 found the
writer pastor of the Baptist church in
Thomasville, Ga., some thirty-five miles
from Tallahassee. Elder Page meantime,
has pursued bis labors in and near Tallahas
see, and is still respected by white and cols
ored, and his influence extending farther
around. During our pastorate in T. he vis
ited there, and by invitation preached for
the white congregation at night, and by spe
cial request of brother 8. A. Smith, who
had been elected to the deaconship, Elder
Page assisted us in the ordination of brother
Smith.
A score of years have passed away, and
brother Page, now old, still lives and occu
pies his former field, with a large church of
his people, and is atill loved and respected.
They have built a large, comfortable house
of worship, plastered and well seated, and
in their worship use an organ, and have
good music.
Elder Page is at least six feet tall, with
robust frame, making him a fine speciman
of man physically, and has been stout and
is yet, for one of his yean, an active, strong
man. He has a fine face, and impresses one
at first sight, as a man of integrity and up
rightnees of purpose. He is affable and digs
nified in his demeanor, and commanding
in appearance.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1881.
Brother Page is a Baptist from principle,
and believes in standing by the old land
marks firmly, and his influence has donbt»
less done much to counteract the tendency
ti extremesand departures, among our col
ored brethren in many sections. He has
very correct and extensive knowledge of our
faith and polity, and his brethren have in
clined to give attention to bis advice.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.
The following, from the Union, Jackson
ville, will be read with interest, in and out
of the State of Florida:
Commissioner French gives in the new
edition of his pamphlet, some interesting
and valuable statistics of Florida, compiled
by 8. U. Hammond, from the United States
census returns. An inspection of the table
on page silty-sour will reveal a gdod many
facts unknown before: There were 863,515
acres of land tilled in tbe State last year;
Jackson county cultivated the greatest num
ber of acres, 128,407, and Monroe the fewest,
906. Tbe “farm values” of Orange county
exceed by over a million dollars those of
any other county, that county being credited
under this head with $2,381,410. Jefferson
comes next credited with $2 280,070. Mana
tee exceeds all others in the value of her
live stock, which reaches tbe handsome sum
of $912 000. Jackson leads in the value of
her farm productions, which were set down
at $1,908,481; Jefferson comes next with
$736,618; Madison follows with $681,695,
Leon with $603,190, Alachua with $539,433,
Gadsden with $459,710, and Columbia with
$317,825. Santa Rosa produces the most
rice, 265,140 pounds; Jackson the most
corn, 407,722 bushels, and the most cotton,
11,585 bales. Liberty leads in the yield of
syrup, being credited with 110,771 gallons:
• Bradford in tbe production of peaches. 10 -
400 bushels; Alachua in potatoes, 127,290
bushels ; and in garden products sold, value
s4l ,355 Holmes is the sweetest county, if
judged by her yield of honey, which is put
down at 30,400 gallons.
There was no provision made by the cen
sus bureau for taking the number of orange
groves, or the number of oranges produced,
which is greatly to be ngretted, but if it
bad been provided for, and the work had
proved as unreliable as the statistics con
cerning some other productions, it would
have been misleading. For instance, Co
lumbia county is credited with the produc
of only 129 bale- of cotton, which hardly
represents the number made by a single one
of her largest planters. Thousands of bales
are annually shipped from Lake City, the
greater part of which are produced in the
county. We notice other inaccuracies, but
pass them for the present. The table, as it
is, will give every one a fair idea of our re
sources as an agricultural State, which are
much greater than most people suppose.
PREACHING AND PRACTICING.
The Pine Flat church, in the ChahabaAs
sociation, have recently received an an
nouncement, that a stranger who bears two
titles is about to make them a visit, for the
purpose of serving them as a preacher, and
making a little something as a healer and
horse-tamer. “Eld." L. A. Jennings pro
poses to preach on the night of the sth of
“February,” on the subject of the church
and its ordinances, showing the near ap
proach of the Millennium. “Professor”
Jennings will send recipes for curing can
cers, asthma, “Dispepsia," diabetes, etc-,
and teach how to tame and cure horses.
But the Pine Flat brethren know too little of
the “Professor’s” gifts of healing, to justify
them in entrusting their own lives or that of
their stock to bis charge. And they are so
well satisfied with Bro. Drew s preaching,
that they have no need of instructions from
the "Elder.” They have accordingly re
solved that “on the sth of February” their
church edifice shall not be opened. And so
they will be deprived of the privilege of
hearing tbe cancer doctor preach about the
Millennium, and of seeing the Elder tame a
horse. Professor Jennings claims to be an
evangelist from Enon Baptist church, Su
wannee county, Fla.
We copy the above editorial from the Ala
bama Baptist, for the purpose of saying that
said Jennings and bis Enon church have no
connection with the denomination in this
State. The “Professor,” or "Elder" came to
Florida some eight years ago, from Illinois,
and settled near Live Oak, and connected
himself with one of the churches near by.
He held some peculiar views about com
munion which he began to urge so tena
ciously that in a year or two he and his
church were invited out of the Sewannee
Association, and are yet out. The last we
saw or heard of tbe Elder, he was traveling
and exhibiting an afflicted or deformed
young man, called the “Alligator Boy”
around Live Oak. We desire only to say
further, we do not claim Prof. Jennings as a
Florida Baptist—not as a sample one at
least. W. N. C.
CHRISTIAN SHIRKS:
We frequently attend church at different
places, and regularly at our own, unless
providentially hindered. We frequently see
churche- slimly attended, and begin to in
quire why the absent members were not
present. What trivial excuses serve to keep
so-called Christians from attending the pub
lic worship of God’s house 1 “Forsake not
the assembling of yourselves together as the
manner of some is,” said the inspired apos
tle of the Gentiles. And yet see them and
hearthem. “Are you going to church to
day?” “No.” “Why?” “It is too hot, too
cold, too rainy, too busy, or too” —this or
that—anything but the right thing.
We have known conference meeting to
have to be omitted because the Clerk failed
to attend, or came too late, or he forgot the
book. (Sometimes he will slip in in time to
read the Minutes). But let a circus come
along with its somersaulters and vulgar
clowns, and, rain or shine, dust, mud, heat,
hail or thunder, all these delicate Christians
will be there “to let their children see the
animals.” No trifling inconvenience keeps
them from attending to their business or
their pleasure. Chopping, hauling, buying,
selling, picknicking, party-going, they never
fail to put in an appearance at them all.
But when Sunday dawns each mole-hill, on
the road to church becomes a mountain, and
each mole a lion! Why is it thus? Is Sun
day heat any hotter, Sunday cold any colder,
Sundav rain any wetter, than that of any
other day? What amount of church-going
exposure would prove fatal to an able-bodied
Christian upon whom all the rage of week
day elements is spent in vain? Turnout!
turnout, ye worship-dodging, duty skulking
servants of the living God ! Away with
your flimsy pretexts and apologies for indif
ference 1 When your preacher comes many
miles through beat and cold, rain and shine,
to proclaim “the glad tidings of great joy,”
will you stay at home and starve your im
mortal soul? Death will hardly postpone
his call on any account. He will not listen
to a long catalogue of excuses. You may
have to take your last ride to the cemetery
in an hour of storm. You cannot go to
heaven under an umbrella. Christians
(church-members would be the proper term
here. Ed.) who only attend church when
they have “new clothes” to show, or when
it suits their fancy, will be apt to land —
where? oh, where! Mixed.

The Jacksonville Union says: “The
sale of the Atlantic, Gulf and West
India Transit Railroad, made at Fer
nandina to Edward N. Dickenson and
Charles D. Willard, was confirmed in
open ctfurt by His Honor Judge Settle.
The consideration paid for the property
was $4,138,000. The purchasers take
possession immediately, and the prop
erty is to be put in good order at once.
The road runs through a rich portion
of the State and by a branch railroad
from Waldo (the Peninsula Railroad),
which is in operation nearly to Ocala,
it reaches a section that is rapidly in
creasing in population and wealth. We
understand it is contemplated to extend
this branch road to Ocala. Fernand
ina has one of the best harbors on the
coast. The sale of this road and the
parties interested in it is an indication
that we shall soon see one entire rail
way system in harmony as one origin
ally contemplated by the originators of
the internal improvement system. The
speedy extension of the road westward
from Chattahoochee by the Dutch
bondholders and those interested with
them, and the completion of the Pen
insula Railroad to Tampa, will be a
realization of a hope long deferred
which will be a blessing to the State,
and is near at hand as we think.”

THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO DETENTIONS.
[From the Philadelphia Press.]
There has been an animated discussion by
some of our contemporaries of the circum
stances connected with the alleged failure or
neglect of the Pennslyvania Railroad Company
to promptly move passenger trains belong
ing to tbe Baltimore and Ohio through the
Pennsylvania railroad yard in West Phila
delphia. Some of the points connected with
this controversy are of considerable local in
terest, and they have also a bearing upon
the general transportation movements of the
country. The exact nature of the occur
rences complained of as obstructions to
trains are undergoing an elaborate legal
Investigation before an Examiner appoint
ed by the United States Circuit Court; and
the general character of the testimony
adduced may be briefly summed up in
tbe statement that on the one side it is
alleged that trains have been unnecessarily
detained for periods ranging from less than
half an hour to more than an hour, while on
the part of the Pennsylvania Railroad Coin-
Sany It is claimed that In no instance have the
etentlons been greater than was necessary
to Insure the safety of the passengers carried,
and at the same time to continue the appro
priate application of the yard through which
these trains must pass to the accommoda
tion of the enormous freight business con
ducted there. On the one hand representa
tives of the Baltimore and Ohio, Philadel
&bla and Reading and Central Railroad of
ew Jersey assert that there have been un
due and unnecessa>y detentions of passen
ger trains belonging to the new through
route between New York and Washington,
while representatives of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company reply that they have
given ail the orders requisite for a faithful
obedience to the decree Issued by Judge Mc-
Kennan commanding that these trains
should be transported over the line of the
Pennsylvania railroad with properdlligenoe,
and that these orders have been obeyed as
faithfully as was consistent with due regard
lor tbe business with which the passenger
train movements conflict.
The pivot d point of dispute Is whether the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company shall sub
ject a vast volume of freight traffic, manipu
lated in its own yards, and Intended for the
supply of the pressing necessities In Phila
delphia and many other points, to great de
lays, derangements and disadvantages, for
the purpose of giving special accommoda
tions, for which It receives no adequate
compensation, to a rival line. To do exactly
what Is desired by the Baltimore and Ohio
and Bound-Brook lines the Pennsylvania
railroad would be compelled to abandon, to
a great extent, the advantageous use of many
facilities It hss established ata great expense
for the accommodation of Its passenger and
freight business, and even after such self-

abnegation was carried to extreme lengths,
It would still be obliged to make very
material changes in tbe mechanical con
struction of tne portions of ite line where
mostot the Imputed delays have occurred, be
fore the expectations ol the Baltimore and
Ohio Bound-Brook lines could be fully re
all zud
There Is probably no place on this conti
nent where more numerous and inevitable
obstructions to tbe rapid passage of an ex
press passenger train are more certain to oc
cur than on tbe portion of the line of tbe
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Immedi
ately north of its system of tracks leading by
the Connecting railway to New York, which
has suddenly been pressed Into use under
the late decision as a part of the new I
through route from New York to Washing-1
ton. There are few sections of railway in
tbe world where the surroundings and ad
juncts are so Illy fitted for tbe prompt and
proper movement of passenger trains, where
bo many dangers threaten the sale passage of
such trains, and where their passage would
cause so much inconvenience to an Im
mense number of freight trains, shifting en
gines, passenger and freight locomotives and
freight cars devoted to all classes of traffic,
Including live stock, coal trains, petroleum
tanks, grain cars, manure cars and care car
rying merchandise of all kinds. Through
express trains conducted over this line are
necessarily required to run a gaunlet similar
to that which a new through passenger route
leading northward from northwestern sec
tions of Philadelphia would encounter If it
ran through or over the piers and docks,
yard and landing places of the Reading Rail
road Company at Port Richmond.
Few classes of modern railway improve
ments are more Important than those which
aim at establishing a distinct line of de
marcation between the tracks used for
freight and passenger trains at points adja
cent to large cities, and the difficulties that
have arisen In West Philadelphia are main
ly due to a step in the opposite direction,
consisting of the enforced application to the
use of passenger trains of tracks specially
constructed for freight movements and envi
roned with all the concomitants of an enor
mous accumulation of miscellaneous freight
triflic. Grade crossings, at which one set of
steam railway tracks cross another set of
tracks, or where there are numerous switch
es, are, under any circumstances, prolific
sources of danger unless great care Is exer
cised, and where the number of engines, cars
and trains to be moved dally over such
tracks Is excessively large constant, vigilance
and the frequent subjection of the trains to
be moved to considerable delay are abso
lutely necessary to Insure a reasonable de
gree of safety. The prompt movement of
passenger trains, under all circumstances,
can only be reasonably anticipated when
the tracks are so arranged at the points
where large amounts of miscellaneous traffic
center, that that passenger business has the
exclusive use of necessary facilities, and the
Pennsylvania railroad has no such tracks In
Its ownership or possession that it can devote
to the new through route between New York
and Washington. Under these circumstan
ces It Is not surprising that there have been
some delays at West Philadelphia, and It Is
not fair to assume that their occurrence af
fords Indisputable evidence of wanton or
wilful neglect or contempt of a judicial order
by any officers or employees of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company.

Tarrant’s pure aperient

Healthful as the fluid sent
Flashing, from the breast of Earth.

BER NOW ON FILE:
Mr. Price—Dear Sir: I bought one of your In
valid Beds nearly four years ago, which has been
constantly used ever since. I feel it a duty to
acknowledge the benefits derived. The fifth day
r of February, 1876, my husband accidently fell,
dislocating his hip-joint and fracturing thelimb.
He became helpless, and prior to using your bed,
suffered untold misery In attending nature’s
calls: it required the aid of two persons, even
then occasioning excruciating pain. 1 tried an
invalid chair, air cushions ami urinals, and in
deed everything that was recommended, and all
proved a failure. But the first few days after
using your Bed I realized a decided change for
the better. My husband fa in his seventy-sixth
vear; as intimated above, he has entirely lost
the use of his limbs, and is consequently con
stantly recumbent. He has been relieved of
bed-sore, and now enjoys perfect comfort. The
bed-linen remains dry, which was not the case
before, and a great deal of labor has been saved
in lifting and washing the bed-linen, and scarce
ly any attention 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
Bed to buy yours. I know the result will be sat
isfactory. Mrs. Charlotte Bullock,
82 Eighth St., Louisville, Ky.,
Wife of H. O. Bullock, formerly Importer and
Dealer in Cigars and Tobacco.
As the attending physician for many years to
Mr. Bullock, I have become familiar with the
merits of Mr. Price’s Invalid Bed, and have no
hesitation in recommending its general use.
Jno. Thrubton, M. D.,
267 West Broadway, Louisville, Ky.
As the visiting minister to Mr. Bullock, I would
say that Mr. Price’s Invalid Bed needs only to be
known to be appreciated. I cheerfully recom
mend it to all needing anything of the kind.
