JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.
CHIPS AAD SPLINIHRS.
Besides a note so good from brother H.
that we oould not refrain from putting it
into the paper, ibe same mail brings us one
from brother Law, with three renewals, and
aome chips, too.
—“Religion seems to be at a low ebb
throughput onr country, but I hope and pray
before thia jear doses we may be blessed
with a time of refreshing from tbe presence
of tbe Lord.” We have bad very little
Baotist preaching at Brooksville for six or
«g>t months past Brother Bell has been
sick and absent a good deal. Be is now at
Tallabasst e, as a member of tbe Legislature.
—We have had tbe pleasure of two visits
trecer tly from our beloved brother, W. J.
Hughes. We are sorry he did not leave us
another appointment for tbe future, but we
hope that a kind Providence will direct him
to us again. J. B. Law.
—Here is a “chip from tbe old block,” tbe
Crompton block. A good block, found
either in South Carolina, Alabama or Fiori*
ds, it is. "It does roe good to have my
brethren in tbe ministry, come to see me.
Ob 1 I enjoyed brother Sam's stay with us so
much. He is a precious good brother. We
were sorry when he left. Then in a few days
here comes another one of those precious
brethren, and spent a night with me—Elder
W. J. Hughes. How cheering it was to me,—
(and it is cheering to hear you talk that way
about your brethren.—Ed.) Those brethren
did not know how much good it done me
and family to have them come to see us. ‘
—"My churches are getting on very well.
Some few additions in fellowship. I have
an appointment at Archer. Am trying to
build up a church there. lam laboring this
year principally to bring my people to the
point cf doing their whole duty as churches
and individuals. The Index is a great help
to me in this effort, I catch ideas, and from
U.ese can draw others. May God bless tbe
dear old Index, tbe editors and all concern
ed.—Z. A. Crumpton.
—"Take due notice and govern yourselves
accordingly," for if you become provoked,
and treat your pastor as Bishops King, Par
ker, Bailey end Wood have been treated,
you better not let us know it, for we will
report it sure.
—We have heard brother W. B. Hare
preach two or three times within a few
wetks. His voice seems stronger than last
winter, and we trust be may sb recover his
health so as to engage regularly in the minis
try. Brethren, pray for it. We need him.
He is a good roan, and a good preacher, and
the people like him.
Mrs. Whitlock, a daughter, we believe,
of Rev. Posey Maddox, and a sisterof broth
er "Charlie Maddox," of Atlanta, died Tues
day, March Ist, at City Point, on Indian
River, of dropsy, we are informed. We
preached a few liiike from her on Sunday
previous, but were unable, on account of tbe
weather, to get to tie her. Pier father died
not very long ago, in Georgia. We under
stand Mrs. W. was a Baptist. God bless the
bereaved ones.
—Another happy roan! Another happy
deacon! Deason Robert McClellan, at
Gainesville, Fla., was. married February
Ist. to Miss Crete Ellis, by Dr. Waugh. She
will make him a good wife and deaconess,
and the deacon will be more useful. God
bless the young couple. We love them very
much.
—And here is another one of those model
news notes, from that model man, Dr. H.
M. King, just such as our brethren wantand
appreciate, short, pointed, newsy, such as our
people love to read in "the Florida Depart
ment" first thing. Sending a new subscri
ber, he fays, "Eliam has decided to build
this summer, a new house of worship. Six
by letter at Pleasant Grove. Hawthorne, last
conference, and a new suit of clothes to pas
tor- Yours in love. H. M. Kino."
—Brother Robt. A. Reid, Live Oak, res
ponds by fending bis dollar to help the
brethren build at Bartow. That is right.
Who next? We do not want to send that
dollar alone. We hope at least nineteen
others will send as much.
—"The Executive Committee of our As
sociation (South Florida) has employed
brother Aiderman Wilton topreach in the
destitute sections of our Association, and he
will begin to work tbe first of March, and
devote all of his time to the mission work.”
Bo writes brother T. H, Jan don. The breth
ren in South Florida seem to be real, not
nominal missionaries.,
—Dr. Tupper sends us bis receipt for
$10.60, received for Foreign Missions from
us, and we have a little more. Send on,
dear reader, something for this work, or
hand it to your pastor. Don’t you want tbe
Lord to love you? He loves a cheerful
fiver.”
—We want to bear from the children, the
little ones, the girls and boys, and young
people. Write to us. We want to bear from
some of you every week.
—Will some one tell us what has become
of brother W. M. Davis, who came to L.
City some time ago ? He owes us some work,
for—we guess he knows what.
—The Home Board has been making oth
er appropriations in Florida. Our State
certainly ought., and we think dots, feel
kindly to that Board. We have some more
news to give you about it soon.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S
TREATMENT
Dear Brother Chaudoin : Index just re
ceived, and about the first item to look me
right m the face is, "No report yet of any
other pastor being treated like brother King
was.” That item touches me in a tender
spot. Ido not care to ray too much about
our people at Key West, but I cannot forbear
after that. Well, I knew here we were treat
ed a good deal better than we deserved. We
bad turkeys, too, "mind, I say turkeys."
dead and alive both', chicken, (mind, I don’t
say chickens) but then it was so nicely
stuffed and roasted, and oh I so juicy, (I
found that out after preaching on Bunday)
then a nice roast of beef and some of pork,
nice rice pudding, basket of fruit, and so
many other things that I do not remember,
but one thing I do know, our people did not
atop at Christmas. New Year s morning we
were surprised to find that some one bad
entered our kitchen in the night or early in
the morning, and took nothing away, but
left a basket which, upon close investigation,
was found to contain a fine fat chicken, nice
roast of beef and pork. Some one of the
brethren stuck a five dollar bill in my little
boys hand, with the remark to "give it to
mamma, and she can buy New Year’s forthe
children,” and such carryings on have con
tinued at intervals ever since; for instance,
six or eight eggs, with the remark, "Freddy
likes eggs, let his mother cook them for
him." (just as though older folks didn’t like
eggs) or a bunch of bananas, and so many

things too tedious to mention. Well, such
things must be indigenous to tbe climate,
they grow here. Besides all this, our people
have an eye to business; tbev pay tbeir
pastor’s salary every month, and it is always
paid, but I should weary you to sav more.

"Our colored brethren in Kentucky are
putting forth ver > praise worthy efforts for
the education of tbeir children and their
ministers. Seeing that in order to the eleva
tion of their race, their ministers must be
educated, they have undertaken to build up
in this city a Normal and Theological school.
Two years ago they purchased the Zine
property at a cost of $13,800. On that they
have paid $2 000 and all tbe interest. They
have spent about $4,000 on repairs and
improvements. The school was opened
November 24. 1879. It is now under the
direction of Rev. W. J Simmons, a compe
tent man, and a corps of assistants. There
are now abouteigbty students in attendance,
ten or a dozen of them young preachers.
Twenty-six are in the boarding department.
The school lias outgrown its accommoda
tions, and they are compelled to enlarge tbe
building. In this good work thep need and
should have the sympathy and the material
aid of their white’ friends. They have been
very modest in theirdemandsupon the white
people, and now that they have their school
in successful operation, we trust their appsal
for help will meet with a hearty and gener
ous response. The managers and solicitors
are among our be*t citizens. Hear them for
their cause, and when you have heard, help
them.”
" 1 here are 75 students in attmdance at tbe
Atlanta Seminary (colored) —about 40 pre
paring for the ministry. Our Nor'hern
brethren have given $15,600 to the Institu
tion.”
We copy tbe above items from other
papers, as matter of information to all, and
lor the encouragement of our colored breth
in particular, in their efforts in the same
direction in this State. Bro. Fish tells us
about your work at Live Oak occasionally.

ANOTHER {RESPONSE—NEV/B, ETC.
Dear Brother Chavdoin: You ask for
items of news from pastors and others; I
take pleasure in contributing some in re
sponse to votir request.
On last Monday evening a number of our
friends gave us a pleasa. t surprise by calling
and spending a few hours, and leaving many
of the substantiate and luxuries of life in
token of their kindly feelings for us. Os
court e we appreciated it highly, and I hasten
to report us as “the next." Just here I will
say, that if churches only knew how much
such expressions of love were prized by their
pastors, many of them would cause their
minister's home to be the scene of a similar
occasion to the one enjoyed by my family
on Monday evening.
Owing to the heavy rain, I failed to be at
Citra at my first appointment, but tbechurch
bad a precious season, being ministered to
on the occasion by Dr. Allen, of Ohio, father
of sister Stevens. Three were received that
morning by letter, and the Supper was ob
served by the church On the fourth Sun
day I was at nay appointment. At the busi
ness meeting on Saturday one was received
for baptism. The church resolved to regu
larly observe the concert of prayer for mis
sions on the fourth Sabbath night of each
month. I expect the Lord to bless this
church, there is so much of the missionary
spirit and zeal among its members.
I have just read your appeal in the last
Index ; 1 am not writing in response to that
particularly, but I do say, and “say quick."
hold on to y< ur place and travels, and write
for the Florida Department. I know of no
one in the Slate better qualified to fill the
position than yourself. Florida Baptists
need your labors and must have them.
I am trying to secure a list of subscribers
here for The Index.
Yours fraternally, N. A. Bailey.

Rev. W. N. Cbaiuoin : Agreeable to im
pulses and promises, I write a few things of
some interest. A Sunday-school organized
at Camp Branch, and books sent for. One
much talked of and, we hope, in embryo in
brother Beaty’s neighborhood, Melrose post
office; one in prospect we hope at Provi
dence. ’f any well posted Baptist minister
wants to be useful and build up a work, and
gather sheaves, let him enquire concerning
l ake Butler, Bradford county, Florida, of
which more anon.
Died, January Sth. near Providence Fla.,
A. J. Beilling, aged CO years, 10 months and
14 days.
He was born March Ist, 18£0. in Barnwell
district, South Carolina. He joined Provi
dence church Saturday before the second
Sunday in August, 1867. He was twice
married, and left three sons and three
daughters, besides an affectionate wife to
mourn his loss. Apparently in good health,
he was stricken with apoplexy, and survived
but a few days. He seemed to have no pain,
and talked freely about the interests of both
worlds as long as speech was granted him.
He bad no doubt of his future welfare,
trusting in the merits and kindness of bis
Redeemer. Two things are especially wor
thy of our example in his life; his remark
able punctuality to meetings in his church,
and his great and constant liberality.
Pastor.
Dear Brother Chavdoin : I send herewith
$5, which you will please have applied as
follows: * • * •
The Christian Index is a precious treas
ure to me, and now that it is out with such
a beautiful Baptistic (Bible) vignette, as if
to say, “this is the way, walk ye in it," I
do not think that any person ean be a con
stant reader of Tbe Index, without grow mg
better in every sense of the word.
I have applied for data to furnish asketch
of another one of the oldest churches in
South Florida; will send it up as soon as I
can. lam aware that I am an incompetent
writer, nor am I a man of leisure, but have
to plow, and do other farm work, so as to
make a living, and consequently cannot do
as much for tbe precious cause of Christ as
I wish to. The Lord bless you.

An only Daughter Cured of Consump
tion.
When death was hourly expected, all reme
dies having sassed, and Dr. H. James was ex
perimenting with the many herbs of Calcutta,
he accidentally made a preparation which
cured his only child of Consumption. His
child Is now In this country and enjoying the
best of health. He has proved to tbe world
that Con sumption can be positively and per
manently cured. The Doctor now gives this
Recipe free, only asking two green stamps to
pay expenses. This Herb also cures nleht
sweats, nausea at the stomach, and will break
a fresh cold up In twenty -four hours. Address

BY TAKING THOUGHT
WE MAY NOT ADD ANYTHING UNTO OUR
STATURE,
BUT WE CAN MATERIALLY LENGTHEN
OUT OUR DAYS.
[From the Constitution.]
The only really valuable utterance which the
famous Greek oracle at Dell hoe ever gave the
woild, wan the one which was blazoned over 1U
dooiwsy, “Know Thyself." Tho wise men who
framed the religious customs of the Greeks very
well knew that the kuowlcdi e of self was
tbe key to happiness and long Hit And the
Greeks illustrate I this in their living, tbeir physi
cal prowess, their sturdy virtue. When they for
got the adjurations of the oracle, and became
dissolute and unmindful of tbeir duty to tbeir
physical constitution, they became emasculat' d
and sank to the lowest national level. Tbe Holy
Word teachi sus nothing more clearly than that
our bodies are ibe temples of the soul, and that
our Maker holds us to a strict account for the
condition of the body, so that the spirit may fnl
fill the purpose of Its incarnation, which is the
eternal good of the individual, and the socie'yof
whicn he Is a member. Wo may not, by taking
thought, arid anything to our stature, but we
certainly may, bv understanding our Inherited
and acquired frailtits, and avoiding those things
which aggravate them, orolong our days in tbe
land. To this end, materia mcdica, physiological,
anatomical science, and an educated class of
ski Ned phvslclans are provided, and we use them
In the hope that remedy may meet disease, and
rout it from our members. And In this fearful
encounter it Is the strongest that will-triumph.
No man. no woman, no child, dies until disease
baffles skill and natural strength. Hence, we may
live as long as we are able to overcome, by nat
ural or artificial means, the disintegrating forces
within ua In this wiser and philosophic view,
the study of ourselves involves the study of our
ancestry, 'he construction of genealogical tables,
so wo may know what physical defects ate born
In us, orate likely to appear In us, and may select
from the thousands of means the ones neceaaary
to counteract our inherited and acquired physi
cal defects. In this struggle for existence, there
are no means too “regular,” none too •irregular"
for onr use. We seek what Is effective, not what
Is authorized by this oi that, or the other
p irilcular school. Success Is the only criterion
of effectiveness, and we need no other guaranty
for any remedial agent than its uniform success
In coping wiih and conquering disease.
As has been staled lu this column, the idea
prevails that kidney diseases are incurable Ills
a fact that the "regular physiclane” regard the
cure of a ‘hard case" by them as phenomenal,
and their statements have given currency to the
belief that all forms of chronic kidney diseases
ate beyond the reach of help. This may have
been true three years and more ago, but it is not
true to-day. There is one sure cure for all forms
of kldnev, liver and bladder difficulties, and that
Is the renowned “Warner's Safe Kidney and Liv
er Cure.” It is a specific for what it is designed.
It la not a "cureall.” ithasrobbed Brighl’-dis
ease of its terror; has rescued thousands from
imminent death, and is to day the best known,
most widely used, and only effective remedy in
all the wotld for all forms of kidney and liver dis
eases.
HAPPINESS AND LONG LIKE.
We propose now to show how happiness and
long life may be secured by those who have been
“sitting in the valley of the shadow of death”
wltn kidney and liver troubles, and who have
been n+tore'd to perfect health by the Rochester,
N. Y., Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
Professor Lattimore, the celebrated Chemist of
Rochester University, has analyzed, furnished
and purchased specimens, and he certifies that It
Is "entirely free from meicury, or from poison
ous or deleterious substances.” Rev. J E. Ran
kin, the well-known Congregational divine, nt
Washington, in a conversation, says be has known
many persons treated aud perman ntly cured of
kidney and urinary diseases by Warner’s Safe
Kidney and Liver (hire, and he is anxious that a
knowledge of the cure should bespread far and
wide. The Rev. Dr. C. A. Harvey, of the Howard
University, Washington, praises its unequalled
cursive properties, relates some of the wonder
ful cures wrought in the Capital, aim adds that
he is confident it is incomparable for Bright’s
disease.
The Rev. D. W. Bnrtine, M. D..D. D., a well
known Methodist of Jersey City. New Jersey, re
late* his “experience” in true Methoi.ist fashion
—shows how utterly broken down he was with
Bright’s disease, how ineffective the “regular”
remedies were, and how, in two weeks, a liberal
use of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
made him sswell as when he never knew a physi
cal infirmity.
The venerable Bible scholar, Rev. Dr. A. C.
Kendrick, of Rochester University, one of the
Bible revisers, aud a widely-knowu Baptist,
writes that he has been remarknbly benefited by
it, and cordially recommends it to others.
Rev. Dr. Bernheim of Wilmington, N.C., can
not say enough in praise of a remedy that snatch
ed one of liis dear ones from the grave which the
doctors said must at ouce claim its victim. These
are the testimonies of eminent men, whose
words are not impeachable, and they are indis
putable proofs that kidney diseases have atlength
met a foeman stronger than their steel. And the
same testimony comes from doctors, lawyers,
school-teachers, merchants, planters, jurists—
men and women from all ranks, all exhausting
the vocabulary of gratitude for this Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. The people are beginning to
realize that, lu the struggle for existence, life Is
dearer than fashion, and that any remedy that is
pure and will cure diseases, it Is both lawful aud
their solemn duty to use.
WHAT impairs happiness.
The world is full of the halt, th- lame,
and the blind, and nine-tei ths of all
lamci ess is paused by iheumatism, and
rheumatism acute and Imflaimnatory im
pairs huinan happiness almost more than auy
other one ailment, and this is especially true of
o'd people. But what causes rheumatism ? The
St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells us that certain au
thorities at Washington have taken tlie trouble
to get the views of the physicians of the land
upon the cause of rheumatism, and the almost
uniform opinion is that Uric Acid—which tbe
kidneys should but fail to remove from tbe
blood, is the prolific cause of misery to millions.
The Uric Acid gets into the blood because the
kidneys are weak and cannot draw it cut and
pass it off. “No one whose kidneys” we quote,
“are in i erfect condition was ever troubled with
rheumatism; aud no rheumatic sufferer has
sound kidneys.” The Globe Democrat says:
•‘There is only one certain aud absolute remedy
for diseased kidneys uow known, and that is
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. It is pre
pared from a simple Tropical l<eaf of rare value,
and ftirni-hes just those elements which tlie kid
neys require, the same as food does to tbe stom
ach. These are no Idle statements, but absolute
facts, and thousands of people in all parts of the
land have proven their truth and been made hap
py thereby.”

DECORATED PEARB SECEXiUS.
e These beautiful imported Pearl Shells are found on the ooeat of Japan,
washed up from the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Tho liner surface of
each shell is decorated with a handsome oil painting, painted by hand
in tho most artistic manner, and representing Oriental flowers, vines,
shrubbery, otc. The ornamentation alone, If done la this country,
would cost much more than we ask for the shells. They range in siM
from ||to 13 Inches in circumference. When held to the light their
polished surfaces will reflect all the colors of tho rainbow, besides,
being highly ornamental, they will be found very useful as card receiv
ers or as receptacles for the thousand and one little nick-nacks whlefi
accumulate upon the centre-table or mantel-piece. Wo have purchased
an entire consignment of these rare Awabian shells, at less than one
half their real value, and now offer them at the following unheard of
prices: one shell, | 5 cento—two for 25 cento—one docea different abet
and d< signs, $ | .25. b P«ched in a strong box and sent by
nail, postpaid* Clean postage stamps of any denomination accepted the same as cash. Address all orders to
