CH AUDOI N. Corresponding Editor and Agent 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. W. N. C. 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 THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1881. 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. Yours, William L Wood. P. 8. Missionary meeting still at work. Have organized a Children's Monthly Mis sionary Society, five cents per month. One of the boys (Geo. Thompson) has a mission ary ben, products lor January, 75 cents, for February, 50 cents; good for tbe hen. Bap tized two, (busband and wife) this month. Will send renewals for The Index soon. W. L. W. "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. W. N. C. 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. Micanopy. 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. j. M. Hatman. Bartow, Fla. Brother £l. must excuse us for letting all Index workers tee the above extract. It en courages others, and especially those of us who try to make the paper useful. The new heading makes the paper worth 50 per cent, more. W. N. C. 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 CRADDOC-K A CO., 1082 Race Street, Philadel phia, naming this paper, mrlO 61 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.” Among the doctors in the various cities of the United states who have certified to the scientific statements concerning the cause of rheumat'sm above mentioned, are a large numb' r of St. Louis physicians, among them being: _ Dr. Adolph Chlemyer, 1411 Salisbury street; Dr. William Webb, 3523 Olive street; Dr. John M.

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.
