CH AUDOIN, Corresponding Editor and Agent 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.” W. N. 0. 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. “FOOL OR PHYSICIAN." THAT IS WHAT EVERY MAN IS SAID TO RE AT THIRTY. From the Constitution. The fatalistic theory that a man will not die until bls time comes, and that when that time comes be will die despite anything that can be done for him, has already wrought too much misery and suffering, and Is responsi ble lor nearly all the neglect of physical health of which we are guilty and the wit nesses. it Is a fatal dogma, and the sooner the world Is rid of it the better it will be Given a perfect body, without taint of Im paired ancestry, and a knowledge ot all the laws of hexlth and conformity to them, and .disease would lose dominion over us and death would come only at extreme old age The average duration of human life, vital statistics tell us, has been lengthening in the past fifty years. And In proportion, as we know the laws of health and observe them, shall we LENGTHEN OUT OUB DAVS and multiply the amount of human happi ness. In this view of the matter disease wll -1 ully contracted, or neglected, If born in us, represents In itself the effect of a sin against the physique and, peradventure, the neglect of inherited or acquired disease, may be the mysterious “unpardonable sin.” The Maker has given us these bodies lor a purpose, and If we emaciate our bodies by sowing “wild oats” and by the violation of physical laws, we shall be held to account for such deeds done In the body as shall Impair It In the ac complishment of the purpose of our crea tion. 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 sire to urinate and inability to do so. Having found this great truth, I saw clearly THE CAUSE o( my recovery. The simple vegetable leal I had us d was a food and restorer to my well-nigh ex hausted k> neys and liv-r.

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.” February 28,1881. F. C. M. 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.
