JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.
CHIPS AND APLIN2ERS.
—From sister H. L. Averitt, of Miccosukie,
a contribution of $2.00 for Foreign Missions,
and in her note says: “Nothing of interest
to communicate from our church. I hope
and pray that the Lord may yet send us a
blessing.”
—A sister sending a contribution for mis
sions, says: “1 asked others to join me in
sending a contribution, but they gave noth
ing-”
Would that this “splinter” might stick
some one in like condition till ti.ey would
send us something for our Mission Boards.
—Miss Mary A. H. Gay is in Florida en
gaged in selling her book. We take much
pleasure In commending sister Gay to our
people generally. She has done much for
the cause of Christ to our own knowledge,
and in distributing her book, is seeking to
make an honest living, and to do good by
lifting up our race.
—Bishops King, Parker, and now Bailey,
have reported kind treatment. Bead what
Dr. Bailey says. What a pleasant thing to
be treated thus when moving into a new
field. “A new broom sweeps clean,” but
some brooms don’t get old. Do you under
stand that?
—Read extract of a letter from Indian Ter
ritory, and thank God for bis providence in
directing you to a climate so mild—if you
are thankful, that is. Brother Hogue we
know personally, intimately, and no purer
man lives; and contributions for him would
help a worthy, needy, but useful missions
ry, to the Choctaw Indians.
—Brother Bailey baptized one recently at
Citra, and brother Wood two at Key West.
Glad to hear it. We do hope they were all
converted. If they were not, then there is
trouble and not joy ahead.
—Taking up a stick of wood to place on
the fire as we were writing a moment ago, a
very small splinter stuck m our fii ger—very
small, but large enough to arouse our sensi
bility and keep us thinking of its “little
self” for quite a spell. Then, thought we,
if we could only stick some with editorial
splinters that would not hurt the brethren
much, but set them to thinking, we would
be glad, so glad I
—Brother Pack writes us from Leesburg,
and sends a new name for The Index there,
and writes, too, that he had just preached
the funeral of the son of the sister whose
name he sent.
John Knott was nineteen years old ; son
of James R. and Mary L. W. Knott, and was
born in Douglas county, Georgia, some fif
teen miles from Atlanta. The family were
much attached to him. They think of mak
ing Florida their home. The Lord bless the
parents thus bereaved. We trust the breth
ren around Leesburg will not forget to try
and "do as they would be done by” in simi
lar circumstances, and encourage these new
comers, in their bereavement among stran
gers, by making them feel that they are
among friends if they are strangers.
—Brother Pack desires the brethren to
post him as to the Sunday-school work, and
where they need books, or bis services, write
him at Jacksonville, Florida.
—Thanks to the brethren and sisters for
aid in our work. Write to us, short and
often. We are going to try and avoid getting
behind any more in keeping something
ready for our corner.
—We are informed that there have been
one thousand cases of measles recently in
Gainesville. The exercises of the Seminary
were almost suspended.
—We love to meet such company as Mrs.
Heed, of North Carolina, and her daughter
and niece, whom we met on the Ocklawaha
river recently. Mrs. R. is a sister of Judge
Settle, whom she is visiting, and is an agree
able, intelligent lady, and a Baptist.
Will our sister Livingston, of Madison,
accept of our sympathy and prayers in her
bereavement. It was our privilege to sym
pathize with her in her conviction of sin
and point her to the cross for comiort. We
can do no more now. Go to the Savior,
sister.
—Dr. 8. H. Ford, of St. Louis, Mo., the
editor of the Christian Repository, is in
Florida for his health, and also to increase
the circulation of his magazine. We hope
he will be benefited in both respects. We
heartily commend him to the brethren.
—We met, worshiped with, and had the
pleasure of preaching to, brother David Moss
teller, of Adairsville, Georgia, when at Or
lando. A precious Christian man he is.
The Lord spare him many years yet. He
came here for his health, and wisely bought
property here.
-'Orman Robinson, formerly of
Louisville,, Ky., is living, permanently, as
he now thinks, at Orlando, Orange county.
He is delighted with the climate and coun
try, and says he feels as if he had “renewed
ms youth, like the eagle’s.” We have known
him for a long time, through the Western
Recorder, but never met him till we went to
Orlando recently.
—lt saddened our heart to read, in the
Union, of the demise of brother A. M. Mc-
Iver. He was an intelligent, earnest Chris
tian and lover of Tint Index. God bless the
family of our brother. He moved from Lib
erty county, Ga., to Jacksonville, not very
long ago, where his wife has relatives.
—We have just remitted ten dollars to the
foreign Mission Board. What pastor will
next lift a collection tor the Board ?
—We began to feel almost as if we were in
Atlanta when we met Dr. Connelly, Col.
Markham and young Mr. Brown in Banford.
We legrstled not being able to call on Mrs.
Senator Brown, who was also in Sanford
accompanying a son who is not well.
—Another addition to cur ‘Tndkx Fund,”
but not from Florida. Shall we have oae
now from Florida?
—I know it. Yes, I just know that if I
could visit you at your home or church and
ask you, I would get some money for Home
Missions. But to come to see you all is im
possible. Will you not send me some
amount? Brother pastors, will you not ask
your congregations for something ? Please
take a collection.
—The unusually damp and cool weather
has interfered with our work The churches
have failed frequently to hold their regular
services. There is prospect now of better
weather, we think.
—Bethlehem church has called Dr. R. W.
Lawton as pastor, and would iike to have
services semi-monthly. We wish they
could Let others try also.
—We shall omit any notice now of the
Haimonv and Florida Aseocisions, till we
receive the Minutes. W ill the Clerks send
two copies?
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1881.
FROM THE FIELD-
Our first work of the new year (and last of
the old) was on Indian river, and with the
Indian River church. The little interest
there lives, but pastorless, and almost dor
mant. The weather was so disagreeable we
could not bold a meeting with them as we
have done every winter before. We trust
the Lord will direct some minister to that
field.
The Florida Conference (Southern) has
sent a man to that field, but the people are
Baptists or Baptist sympathizers to a greater
degree than anything else. Some young
man in feeble health could go to Indian riv
er, and if prudent and economical, and de
voted to his work might get a support on
the field, or nearly so, do good for the cause
as a missionary, and regain bis health. Such
a man could get some aid as a missionary,
or if it became necessary, to make tent’s,
could always get a job.
Orange Grove church, in the Wekiwa As
sociation, is a short, distance from Lake Jet
up. and in a well to-do vicinity. The church
has some excellent members, but is in a low
state. There is no Sunday-school and no
prayer-meeting at pre-ent. We preached on
Sunday, again Monday and Tuesday nights,
but very few were present except on Sunday.
We got no subscribers for The Index, ami
but one renewal, and a half dollar for mis
sions. The church is small, (large enough
at present), comfortable and well situated,
as we would suppose. The church needs a
pastor, and at least one active working man
to lead. Our first visit, however, to this
church has bright and sweet memories, for
we cannot forget the arrangements brother
Lawton made tor us, and our very pleasant
visit to him and family.
We reached the steamboat landing al one
o'clock at night, and Elder Lawton was at
home sick, and his wife also He had ar
ranged, though, with Mrs. Parker to take
care of us at her pleasant boarding house
near the lake, and soou Sunday morning a
conveyance arrived to take us to his home
and to the meeting house. Seldom will a
missionary have the good luck to get to a
better place to rest awhile than with brother
Lawton and his kind and pious wife.
Lake Harney church is not exactly on,
but near, the lake of that name, and there
the Union Meeting was appointed to be held
on the fourth Sunday in January, but was a
failure on account of bad weather and much
water. Brother Lawton is pastor of the
church, and through our columns quite re
cently, made an appeal, which weseconded.
for some aid to build a house of worship
and in response to that call we received a
liberal contribution from two Index men iu
Atlanta. Drs. Lawton and Tucker will be
kindly remembered by the little baud there,
and there is another reason why the breth
ren in tne State should support The Index,
besides getting a good paper.
We saw but few of the brethren or people,
and got but one subscriber, and did not ask
for any mission money. We want to visit
them again.
Our visit to brother Isaiah Hart and broth
er Culpepper, from Middle Georgia recently,
was quite pleasant. But hoping to have
good news from there again, we desist from
saying more now.
THE HARMONY CHURCH COUNCIL
Dear Brother Chaudoin : I have waited
for rny paper nearly three months and have
not seen a copy. What is the matter? It
has been the custom for editors to dun sub
scribers, but in this case it is changed.
We are indebted to a brother for a copy,
dated Nov. 11, 1880, in which we find the
report of the council called at the instance
of Harmony church. They met and deci
ded that Harmony was a legal Baptist
church. It occurs to our mind, Bro. C-, lhat
this was out of the order of business, for we
learn that the church had been in the Asso
ciation, and in full fellowship for some two
or three years. (1.) We think it would ha\ e
been better for them to have called a legal
presbytery at the time they were organized,
and then they could have referred to the
record and have decided this question. (2.)
But we gather from the report another de
cision, and that is, that a church is an inde
pendent body, and the only body that can
receive and dismiss its members. Now,
Bro. 0., that is a question no man living
that knows anything about Baptist churches
ever denied. (3.) Now, Bro. C.. if that coun
cil had just stopped when they got through
the work for which they were called togeth
er, we would not have dipped our pen in the
ink, but as they have used our name with
other names, we felt it a duty to defend our
character. (4.) Now, 8r0.C., in opposition to
what they said about the independence of
the churches, they set off to hunt up busi
ness in another church that is independent,
and arraign, try and condemn Lake Bryant
church, with her jiresbytery, for dissolving.
(5.) Now, Bro. C. where did’that council get
the authority from to interfere with the in
ternal rights of Lake Bryant church? (6.)
What right had you to advertise us, (7,) in
the papers, and appoint us our position with
hypocrites and unbelievers? But you say
lhat the cause was, that Lake Bryant recei
ved two members of Harmony church, and
one of them under censure. Well, what had
the committee, (8,) to do with that? If they
had violated the discipline of the Harmony,
it was the business of Harmony church and
not the committee, for this was not a com -
mittce of Harmony church. (9.) . . . One
tiling more and I am done with this matter.
That committee (council) said we must go
and make acknowledgement to Harmony
church. (10.) Now, brethren of the council,
I have never interfered in any manner with
Harmony, or any of its members, and shall
not make an acknowledgement. I do not
know what brethren Standland and Hull
will do. Please this a place in your
columns, and oblige yours in love.
L. J. Simmons.
We have given brother Simmons' letter a
place, making such changes as were required
to make it proper, and leaving out some per
sonal matters. We omitted none of his ar
gument. Now, as we commented some on
the report of the council, and expressed
some opinions different from what is ex
pressed above, we are going to have another
little “say,” as a brother, not as aparty man
(1) So she had, but two ol the ministers of
her Association ignore her existence, or re
proach her order by signing letters, to two of
her members, in the name of anotherchureh
2, That is just what the council, after inves
tigation, decided was done. 3. Sometimes
it is denied indirectly, as when a church
gives letters of dismission to members ot
another church, 4. The council did not in
sinnate upon any one’s character. It ex
pressed the opinion that brethren in their
official acts bad infringed upon the rights of
a church, aocoreiing to Bapiist usage. 5. No,
no, brother S., not for dissolving, but dis
missing or lettering her sister's members in
dissolving. G. When that council met, there
was no Lake Bryant church to interfere
with. But If there had been, a council
could express an opinion about its acts in
any given case. 7. Why, brother Simmons,
any council or church has the right to ex
press its opir ion about our acts, and a coun
cil has the right to publish their opinion,
aud that does not “assign us our
portion with hypocrites, &c.,” (8.) It
was a council called to express an opin
ion, notacburch committtee, and (9.) had no
right or authority to bring in chargee, and
did not. 10. 'lhe council, believing as it
did, could not have done lees than say that
the preebytery was due Harmony an ac
knowledgement, when two out of tiiree o<
the preebytery eus ained the relation
aid to i>«r If Harmony is a clmicli of
Cbriat, a-<i tit led to respect as each, »i e
*i» uertamly iidieted upi n by the prreby
tery which ignored her. Now, that is the
whole affair in a nut-shell as to that coun
cil's work. The council had or basils opin
ion, concurred in by the Alachu Association.
Others may have a different opinion. Then
let the matter rest there.* It is not a matter
to affect fellowship, “Let us have peace.”

The Mason & Hamlin Organ Company
have achieved what is practically, perhaps,
their greatest triumph iu the production of
a small organ, which is really a fine instru
ment, and of sufficient capacity for ordinary
practical purposes, and yet is sold for only
$22. It retains that fine quality of tone for
which these organs are distinguished, with
considerable power. Aptly it is termed the
‘ Baby Organ,” being their latest and small
est organ.
They now manufacture over one hundred
styles of organs, which are largely exported
to all civilized countries.

Perhaps there is no disease that is becom-
Ing known as a distinctive national d.sease
so much as disease of the kidneys. Every
week nearly the telegrapn reports that some
public man has been taken away with
Bright’s disease. The increase of this disease
In the past twenty years has been
ALARMING.
Study the history ol Bright’s disease, in its
prominent victims, and you will be surprised
to see how Intimately the American mode of
rush life and excitement, and dissipation Is
related to it. The mortality from Bright s
disease and kindred diseases ot the kidneys,
in Philadelphia alone
INCREASED 250 PERCENT.
from 1869 to 1878, and the same proportion will
hold good for the entire country. lsthls,tben,
not an alarming fact? Dr. Edwards, of Phila
delphia, an authority on this subject, says
neglect of hygienic rules Is the chief cause of
this disease. This Is true; but the disease Is so
insidious aud so long disarms suspicion that,
we awake to a realization of Its present
with deep concern, for It Is a rare thing that
any ol the regular schools of practice succeed
in mastering this monster destj6yer.
Is there no hope? There Is.’The materia
niedlca of the regular - schools provides no
certain cure, but
IN A LBCTUBE
recently delivered before the Metropolitan
Scientific Association, Dr Charles Craig, of
Rochester, N. Y., gave this welcome bit of
personal experience :
“In the year 18701 found myself losing both
in strength and health. 1 could assign no
cause for the decline, but it continued, until
finally I called to my aid two prominent phy
sicians. After treatingmefor sometime they
declared I was suffering from Bright’s disease
of the kidneys, and that they could do noth
ing more for me. At this time 1 was so weak
I could not raise my head from the pillow,
and I fainted repeatedly. My heart beat so
rapidly, it was with difficulty I could sleep.
My lungs were also badly involved ; 1 could
retain nothing upon my stomach, while the
most intense pains In my back and bowels
caused me to long lor death as a relief, It
was
AT THIS CRITICAL JUNCTURE
that a physical longing which I felt (and which |
I most firmly believe was an inspiration) caused I
me to send for the leaves of a plant I had once I
known in medical practice. After great diffi-j
culty I at last secured them and began their use I
in the form of tea. I noticed a lessening of the 1
pain at once; I began to mend rapidly; in five
weeks I was able to be about, Mid in two months
I becainj perfectly well and have so continued
to this day. It was only natural that such a re
sult should have caused me to 1 nvestigate most
thoroughly. I carefully examined fields In med
icine never before exj lored. I sought the cause
of physical order and disorder, happiness and
pain, and I found the kidneys and liver to be the
governors, whose motions regulate the entire
system. It Is now conceded by the ablest physi
cians iu every land, and by eminent scientists
the world over, that “Bright’s Disease” la the re
sult of blood poisoning. Thispoisoninglsbrought
about by wasted and unhealthy kidneys lhat
permit the poison to get Into the blood, instead of
throwing it from the system. But it is equally
evident to all who have studied into the effects
and have become conversant with the facts, that
n disordered state of the kidneys and liver pro
duces most of the common complaints and pains
which afflict the human race, and they can be
traced to this source just as certainly as can
Bright's Disease. To purify a stream we’ must go
to its souice, and to cure a disease we must re
move the cause. It being true, there ore, that
NINE-TENTHS OF ALL HUMAN AILMENTS
are caused by diseased kidneys or liver, the only
certain way to cure these troubles Is by treating
the organs which cause them. How intimately
the kidueysare associated with the entire svstcih
may be understood from the fact tnat over 1,000
ounces of blood pass through them every hour
or neatly one ton In the course of J 4 hours. This
vast mass of living fluid is sent by a most per
fect system of distribution to every part of the
body, «ud If the kidneys are diseased the impu
rities that are iu the blood are npt removed, and
hence pass through the veins, carrying disease in
some one o', its many terrible forms. 3he hor
rors which accompany most of the diseases eausrd
by disordered kidneys and liver cannot be des
cribed in nrhit, while tbe dangers surrounding
them ate even greater than the agony. And yet
a person may be troubled
FOR MANY MONTHS
■without knowing what the diseases are that have
attacked him. If any ot the following things are
noticed about the urine, it shows that these or
gans are ou of order: A red <l. posit, a scum upon
the surface, au unusual thickness or thiuuess, a
very dark or a very light color, a burning sensa
tion in passing, a irequent desire a urinate, an
unusual odor, a retention of the urine, or a de

| In Memoriam.
Oh! how inexpressibly sad is the fact that
Emms Wynne is dead ; that her bright eye, once
, i beaming with light reflected from the flames of
noble affections and generous nnpuls s. Is closed
1 on earth forever; her voice once so glad and
f cheery, so musical, is hushed and silent now;
her ear once so sensitive to tones of love even to
' her own darling infant daughter’s waif, is deaf
i and heedless now. Her little hands, ever busy
I in preparing comforts for others, are folded upon
her pulseless breast ferever—forever done with
affection’s caresses. Her lovely white forehead Is
so white and cold, aud her heart will never beat
again on earth iu unison with those she loved- for
Emma Wynne Evans is dead. The places that
' ; know her, will know her no more, she is gone
j from amongst us.
j “Gone like the broken lily drifted down
' The strange, dark tide of time—
Gone like tha white dove from her builded nest
To some far fairer clime.”
V To know her was but to love her. Every one
with whom she became acquainted, felt the In
fluence of her genial smile, and her lively and
affectionate disposition. She seemed to me like
a bright ray of sunshine, enlivening and brighten
ing every thing around and about her. She was
always ready and willing to assist In any good
work. She was a devoted Christian—a member
of the Second Baptist church in Atlanta. She
possessed a character pecullar'y fltted to fill her
station, adoin the Church and bless the world.
It was astonishing how many persons she knew.
Many times while walking lhe streets with her, it
seemed as if every other person would speak to
her, and she always had a happy word for each
one, rich or p ior. Emma Wynne treate I all with
the Mme courtesy characteristic of her. She
swayed the sceptre of a general favorite.
A few short months ago she was a joyous bride.
There was so much for her to live for—a devoted
husband, parents, sisters, brothers and friends.
Oh ! why could she not have been spared a little
longer ? Why not some one else who would not
have been missed as much as she ? A voice from
above whispers, “The ways of Providence are
past finding out" We know that He doeth all
things well. Her family and friends mourn not
for her as some do. without hope, for, a few days
before her death, she said to b* husband: “lam
fully prepared for whatever may be in store for
me, even if it be death. My trust Is in Jesus."
She died in the beauty of a Christian character,
mourned and loved by all who knew her, being
I twenty four years and four days old.
May our heavenly Father temper this sore afflic
tion to her husband, infant daughter, father,
j mother, brothers, sisters and friends. Dear
I friends, be com sorted with the thought that Emm t
has passed earth's dark and stormy shores.
“Passed the scene of human woes.
Passed the life where hearts are broken,
Passed the words In anger spoken,
Passed temptation’s treacherous shoals,
Passed Death’s river that swiftly rolls,
Gained the Glory tinted shore,
Won thee.own forevermore.”

VOORHIES—Died, in Augusta, Ga., February
-28, 1881, Mrs. Maria C. Voorhles, aged seventy-six
years and three months. “Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord."
A true Christian, a faithful Baptist from child
hfiod, this aged mother in Ireal has passed to her
eternal reward To the relatives and friends we
offer sympathy for their earthly bereavement, a
sorrow that Is mellowed by lhe knowledge that a
gloiy which fades not shall zucceed the passing
shadow of the hour.
