W. M. CHAUDOIN. CorrMpcndiug Editor and Agent JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. WM. B. THORN TON, M.D In the death of Dr. Thornton, we are be reaved—keenly, sorely, greatly bereaved. To but Aw have we ever been so tenderly en deared. To but few have we felt under such obligations. As a human being we are be reaved. Few nobler types of humanity did the world hold, and none more so did we ever have the privilege of claiming as a friend. As a Christian we are more painful ly bereaved. The religion of Jesus never appeared more lovely, more attractive than in Dr. Thornton. All that made him noble as a man, was beautified by religion, which added its own new, divine nature. He excelled, as a man and as a Christian. As an invalid, a human sufferer, we are be reaved. For many y ears a sufferer from dis ease, and our cases similar apparently, hope was brightened, strengthened upon meeting him, and even now as we write of his de mise, we feel its iufluenoe. Then, too, his cheerful patience in suffering was conspicu ous, and we tried to imitate It. As a physi cian, too. he advised us as a father a son, and when his guest, cared for us tenderly, so much so we cannot write of it now. An All-wise God only knows to what ex tent He used the influence of Dr. Thornton in supporting the writer to the present time. As a minister we are bereaved. He was the friend of all, and especially of Christ's ministers—he was our friend. We were, we are yet. benefltted by him, "he being dead yet speaks" to us. Religion comforted him, and we will depend upon it more now to comfort us. It supported him in death, and we shall be less fearftil now of its sting. He is free from pain now, and we hope to be soon. We feel that Heaven is nearer, and our Savior dearer, than before. After all, our Joss is not so great, for we feel that we have pained as well as lost. Thank God that we knew brother Thornton. We felt like we ought to offer this feeble tribute to the memory of this deceased friend and man of God, and though he lived in another State, we need ask no apology of our Florida readers. W. N. Chaudoin REV. J. F. B* MAYS, D.D. We have desired to say a word or two about "our pastor" for some time, and be low is something said better than we could say it, and by one who is more “pas tored" by him than we are. and we extract it It is from the Daily Union, and we hear tily endorse it all. The notice contains news, too, that will rejoice many Baptists who read it: This gentleman has been a resident of this city and pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle church for the past twelve months. His high character and successful ministry entug ties him to more than a passing thepublic press.

Th? greater part of his ministerial life has been spent in Tennessee, where he has filled many responsible positions in the denomination to which he belongs, and in the educational and charitable institutions of the State. As a preacher he is sui generis, always in teresting and entertaining, and often rising to flights of tender pathos and genuine elo quence. No one will ever regret having gone to hear him, but only those who sit statedly under his ministry and enjoy his constant and warm-hearted pastoral care, can appreciate the tenderness and strength of his character. We trust he may be spared long to minister to his present flock. FROM MISSION AR Y HOGUE. Dkab Brother Chaudoin : I have delaved writing to you a little longer than 1 intended. Yours of date 12th of January, came to hand and was greeted with pleasure. A few days after its arrival I got a fall, in which I nanowly escaped being killed. It was dur ing the severe cold weather. One morning I got up as usual, a little before it was light, and forgetting that the ground was covered with ice, 1 stepped out at the door, and my foot slipped as quick as thought, and I fell backwards, my head striking the large flat rock that makes the bottom stile, and my back striking the end of a rock upon which the larger one rests. Both of my arms were hurt, and my right wrist severely sprained. Fortunately no bones were broken, but my head seemed almost bursted open. lam all right again except my wrist. Maybe it will be right after awhile, but will be easily hurt ao doubt at any time. As you may imagine, the winter here has been unusually severe, and it continues cold. We have had but little rain, but snow has fallen repeatedly. Your wish has already come to pass. The Bethel brethen have helped me to another contribution of $74.75, which came in the form of a check, last Tuesday. Ido thank God so much, and want to do more for His cause than 1 have ever done. It is surely mighty little that I can claim to have done. But the Lord knows all about. Truly and sincerely yours, R. J. Hooux. Boggy Depot, C. N., Feb. 19,1881. Bre. H. was supported several years by the Bethel Association in Georgia, which body sent him to the Choctaw Nation. He gets no salary now. only voluntary dona tions, but he will not leave the field. Will you send us a little sum for him ? REV. NAPOLEON A. BAILEY. The following is copied from Cathcart's Baptist Encyclopedia, for which Elder Sam uel Boykin is Georgia editor, and doubtless prepared the sketch. We insert it as a fur ther introduction to baother B. in Florida, noting the omission of a mention of his pastorate at Albany, Ga., which was remark ably successful: Rev. Napoleon A. Bailey was born in Law rence county, Alabama, September 5,1833. His mother was from Maryland, and his father was a native of Virginia. In July, 1850, he was baptised and united with the Liberty Baptist church in his native county. In 1853 he was licensed, and in September, 1854, he entered Union University, Tenn., where fox three years, he diligently pursued his studies, graduating in July 1857. He THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST! THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1881. was regularly set apart to the gospel minis ry bv ordination in November. 1857. t Cn the Ist of January, 1858, he took charge of Liberty church, into whoee fel lowship he was baptised, and soon after moved to Florida, on account of a severe cough, which he contracted while preaching in a revival meeting. His health being re stored by the balmy climate of Florida, he removed to Georgia, where for a number of years he preached to several churches, while acting as President of the Houston Female College. He served afterwards the churches of Milledgeville and Dalton, and then went to California, where be remained a year and a half. He then returned to bis State, and subsequently removed to Georgia, In which State he now resides, at Quitman. For six years Mr. Bailey has filled the posi tion of Assistant Secretary of the Georgia Baptist Convention. He is a faithful and zealous pastor, an able preacher, clinging tenaciously to the cardi nal principles of the denomination. His conscientious piety, and hearty co-operation in all the leading enterprises of the denomi nation, are universally recognized, and it has been said of him that hels one of those few, “to whom giving seems to be a real luxury." Candor, sincerity, and a firm adherence to bis convictions of right, are prominent traits in his character, while gentleness and self sacrifice are in him happily blended with fortitude and courage. ■ .n » A CKNO WLED GEMENTB. Editor Index : Since the publication in The Index of my appeal tor funds to aid the Baptist church of Micanopy, Forida, in completing their house of worship, I have received the following amounts, which you will plevse do the church the kindness to publish: Mrs. M.

Words of cheer accom panied these contributions. One of Middle Georgia’s noblest sons wrote, “I hope the brethren all over the State will help you. I pray God’s blessing upon your work.” "We should be thankful to our Heavenly Father for giving us the ability <o aid those who need our help,” were the words of that pious donor of New York. I have been requested to send, with the above acknowledgements, the following res olution passed by the church: Resolved, That the thanks of the Mican opy Baptist church be and are hereby ten dered to all those who have contributed to our church building, in response to the ap peals of Mrs. Bailey.

INTERESTING LETTER. Rev. W. H. Chauhoiii : Your kind and appreciated letter came to hand on the 18th of November, just two months after the date of it. I cannot understand the cause of de lay. It should and would have been answer ed sooner, but for my afflictions. I was sick when I received your letter, and had been tor weeks, and when I recovered enough to write, it took almost every moment of my time to attend to my poor little crying babe, a little boy who had never seen its father’s face, who will never know a father’s love or protection. He was born three months after his father’s death. With all the rest of my troubles, I have rheumatism in my right arm and shoulder. But with all my afflic tions, dear brother, I did not forget you, and I desire to return my grateful and heartfelt thanks for your kindness, sympathy and generous gift in sending me The Index. I o appreciate and love it so much. I think it is a blessing in any family. But, dear brother, the blessing is not all mine, for you know the Bible says, "it is more blessed to give than to receive." I pray that our heavenly Father who has promised to bless the cheerful giver, will bless you and your, efforts to do good in His name.' I hope you and yours are well. Your afflicted and sorrowful sister in Christ. 8. P, Coates. Remakes. We take the liberty of print ing the above letter, for good reasons. It will cheer those who have made contribu tions to our “Index fund,” out of which we sent sister Coates the paper. Bro. Harrison told us that she sbonld have the paper, but friends contributed so liberally that her pa per was paid for in that way. We are glad for them to know how one reader—a minis ter’s widow—appreciates the favor. To what holier, better purpose can ws contribute some money, than in giving a good paper to such persons as sister C ? Again, we trust that our readers all will think what a comfort The Index has been to that sister, in her bereavement and afflic tions—her bodily sufferings- How it has lifted or lightened her burden, as she has perused it, and her mind would be carried upward by its contents. Again, and lastly, we trust the reading of her Tetter, will bring us more funds for the purpose of sending The Index to her and others in like condition, and prompt some one to write something for the comfort of such Christian sufferers as sister Coates. Who will write and send an article to cheer and comfort the bereaved, the suffering ones of our Father’s children7 nlabbieh. On February 24th, 1881, by Rev. A. J.

Index Publishing Company, A Successful Entebfbise.—The celebra ted Piano House of Messrs, Marcbal <fc Smith have recently started an enterprise in Pianos which is proving a great success. A beauti ful piano with everything that goes to make a complete and elegant outfit tor the parlor and the player, is put in the home of every one who wishes to buy. Purchasers are re lieved of all vexations and troubles, expen ses and risk by having an instrument placed in their own home for trial where it is to remain, and where its merits alone can in fluence the purchaser. Messrs. Marchal &. Smith deserve the remarkable success that this liberal scheme has brought. It adds another to the many obligations that lovers of the Piano are under to this enterpriseing firm which during the past twenty years has been foremost in every liberal enterprise. Those who think of purchasing, should get their catalogues, it gives information which protects the purchaser and makes deceit im possible. it Thanks.—We deeply appreciate the in terest which the brethren throughout the State have taken in The Christian Index, and thank them for the zeal with which they have practically signalized their love for it, by sending in numerous new subecris bers. The Index is accomplishing a vast amount of good in the households and in the churches, and the efforts of frieftds have, therefore, a very potent influence in the same direction by increasing the circulation and the beneficial influence of the paper. If all others, who have equal opportunity, will assist us, The Index will be found in every Baptist household in Georgia. We have no complaint, however, to urge against those who have failed to lend The Index a helping band, but, on the contrary, enter tain the cheering hope, that the time is ap proaching when all our brethren will be ear nest and active co-workers in its behalf. BIOGRAPHY OF MINISTERS. The Index “Book of Ministers and His tory of Georgia Baptists.” is now in the hands of the printer, and before long will be ready for delivery. It will be an invalu able historical and statistical work for every Baptist. The publishers deeply regret that a num ber of our most worthy ministers failed to send in their photographs, and the facts up on which the compiler could base a sketch of the lives of these brethren, despite the earnest and long continued efforts of the publishers to induce these esteemed brethren to furnish the pictures and the biographical notes. It was the intention to include all, even if the work would have extended to two volumes. Many of these brethren are veterans in the Lords service, and the rec ord of their lives would have been read by every Christian withjdeep interest, and in permanent book form would have exerted a lasting, beneficial influence upon the hearts of Christian readers in coming generations. It is to be hoped that the brethren who have failed to respond to the request of the pub lishers and compilers of the book, will con sider the matter, and allow the publishers to firint sketches of their lives ana ministerial abors in the columns of The Index. The book in its now completed form will hjjfke a large and handsome volume of be- nine hundred pages., It will toe most notable and valuable |||||||||9giß of the religious and denoini tu l *‘ e age ' All who a copy should do ‘ hojse <>f recovery TALE - B. F. Larruliee, of the New Disputeli and Express Company, W|lson, the Globe of that efty. His case Precertainly the modern miracle of beating: ’ “A little over a year ago I was taken sick, but I allowed the illness to run along until, on the 28th day of October, 1879, I fell prostrate while walking along Tremont street. I was carried home and did not go out of my house until the middle of December. I then went down town and at tempted to attend to my business until the 13th of last January, when 1 was taken with a very severe relapse. My symptoms were terrible. I was fearfully bloated ; I suffered severe pains in all parts of the body, and it was almost impossible to get my breath. For six days 1 never slept. I was constantly attended by my regular physician, Dr. Jobnson, and Dr. Bowditch also came to see me nearly every day. There was no doubt that I was suffering from Bright’s disease of the kidneys in its worst form and last stages, accompanied by other troubles of the liver and heart. In spite, however, of the physicians, I kept growing worse, and finally they tapped my side in the vicinity of the heart, taking away forty-six ounces of water. This relieved me for the time, but I soon became as bad as before. Then the doctors gave me up entirely ; declared I could not live more than twenty-four hours, and my daughter, who was residing in Paris, was telegraphed for. Still I lingered along for several weeks, far more dead than alive, but never giving up hope. One night —it was on the 20th of April, I very well remem ber—my attendant, who was reading the paper to me, began an article which described my dis eases and sufferings exactly. It told how some severe cases of Bright r Disease had been cured, and so clearly and sensibly did it state the case that I determined to try the means es cure which it described. So I sent my man tithe drugstore, procured a bottle of the medicine, unknown to my physicians and friends, and took the first dose at ten o’clock. At that time 1 was suffering in tensely. I could not sleep; I bad the short breaths, and could scarcely get any air Into my lungs. 1 was terribly bloated from head to foot, and the motion of my heart was irregular and painful. I continued to take the medicine, and to-day. sir, I am as well as ever I was in my life, and wholly owing to the wonderful, almost mi raculous, 'power of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. It saved my life when I was given up by the doctors, and had really been dead for weeks; and it has kept me in perfect health ever since, and hascured many of my friends to whom I have recommended it.” When the Globe interviewed one of the promt nent physicians of the "Hub," Dr. D. A. John son, tn this case, he said: “He was his family physician, and expected his death every hour for a number of weeks, and never called to see him during that time, but he was prepared for it. The doctor said the rccevery was due to Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and ii he had friends—male or female—troubled with any kid ney troubles he should certainly advise them to use this remedy. Another one. Dr. M. E. Webb, said : "I know of Mr. Larrabee’s ease from having thoroughly Investigated it as medical director ola life insur ance company, and it is one of the most remarka ble cases I have ever met. When all his medical advisers bad long given him up he began using Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I subjec ted him to the most thorough examination pos sible, after his recovery, and his kidneys, liver, lungs and heart are perfectly well and sound. I can only add that, from what I have seen, I should unhesitatingly recommend th:s remedy." CHICAGO'S TALE. The Chicago Tribune, struck by the remarkable cures Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure were accomplishing in that city, and under direction oithe regular physicians, sent out a reporter, and from its column of interviews with prominent people we extract the following: A call was made at the extensive store of C. Jevne, Nos. 110 and 112 Madison street. Mr. Jevne introduced the investigator to Mr. Frank A. Cle land, a gentleman in his employ, whose father, Mr. Samuel Cleland, was known to have been very low with kidney disease. Mr. Cleland said: “My father was treated by a host of doctors, and tried any quantity of medicines, but he got so bad that not only he, but al! his friends, had giv- en up hone of his recovery. He »u finally rec ommended to try Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liv er Cure, and all I can say is, that he is to-day as well a man as there is In Chicago. We do not, any of us, know anything about the remedy, but it did a wonderful thing In curing my father, and it he was in the city now he would tell you so much better than I can, for be is an old journal ist and knows how to talk to newspaper men." At the first window in the West Division post office, corner of Halsted and Washington streets, Mr. A. Q. Brown, the head of that division, was found. Upon being questioned, Mr. Brown said: "Well, sir, my wile was in a terrible condition for more than five yean. She seemed to have a complication of diseases, culminating in Bright's Disease and she had been doctored all the way from San Francisco to Chicago. I have frequent ly seen her fall upon the floor insensible, and I never expected she would get up again. Indeed, I never went home but 1 was prepared to find her laid out dead. She tried everything we could think of, and the doctors were all very kind. At last she began taking Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and the effect was very marked at once. She regained her strength and sp.rlta, has been able to attend to all her duties, and the ter rible sinking spells she formerly had have never returned I consider it a most marvelous cure, and I cannot speak of the remedy too highly. Upon my recommendation my father-in-law, Mr. Lathrop, who was terribly afflicted with kidney trouble, began using the same remedy, and was not only entirely cured, but also relieved of a most painful stricture ” Dr. T. T. Oliver, who was conversant with Mrs. Brown's case, said that she had been in a most precarious condition. Her heart and lungs were badly affected, owing to the diseased condition of her kidneys and liver, and the liability to sud den death had been imminent "You consider then, doctor, that Warner's Safe kidney and Liver Cure was the efficient element in effecting hi r cure, do you 7" “Most decidedly," answered the doctor, and her cure seems to be as perma nent as it is gratifying." BT. LOUIS'S TALE. The Interviews and information herein given are from the Globe-Democrat's own reporter’s ac count : Mrs. H. M. Alvord, upon being questioned, frankly said: “For the past five yeans I have suffered greatly, and previous to last August, part of the time intensely, from a disease pro nounced by Dr. Papin abceas of the bladder, and by another physician catarrh of the bladder. I grew steadl’y and rar idly worse until all ihe in ner coating of the bladder was gone, and I have used an injection of water and morphine as o ten as twenty-seven times in one night Finally, at a consuliatlon physicians said I must die, as they could do nothing for me. It was at this time I began the use of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and after the second dose my relief was so great that I could dispense with the morphine injections. I would sooner be without food than to be deprived of this remedy, and I have advised many of my friends to use it also." At the office of W. B, Cottrill, city bill poster, 415 Walnut street, the reporter found Mr. Benja min Letson. Mr. Letson stated that for two years he had been on the threshold of death's door from dropsy in its worst form. This was un doubtedly the result of diseased kidneys, as large black spots had appeared on his side and back In the vicinity of the kidneys. He was treated by the medical talent of this city and also at the east, but grew steadily worse. His ankles be came swollen until they measured 22 inches in circumference. Finally the doctors declared he must die, and that, too, very spiedily, and he had nimself given up all hopes of recovery. Within three days after beginning the use of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, however, the bloating began to decrease, his appetite re turned, and to-day he is a well man. Dr. R. L. Metcalfe stated that Mr. Letson had been in a terrible condition, but had been cured wholly as the result of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure he had taken. Mrs. Caroline- F. Fleming, whose art studio is in the Lindell hotel, said: “I have been troubled with kidney disease since my childhood, and it finally culminated in chronic catarrh of the bladder. It would be impossible for me to de scribe bow much I have suffered, and I had aban doned all hope of ever being cured. I was rec ommended to try Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liv er Cure, and it has done me more good than the combined skill of all the physicians I have ever tried_during my entire life.” ThMßyyvßsion produced upon the mind of the JHisMAeariiest and sincere manner of Mrs. Boys’ Clothing MADE TO ORDER.
