Please be prompt —Brother Kicklighter renews for Thk . Ikdxx, and invitee us to visit Lake Kingsley. We will try to come, biothor K. We hear that Capt. McGabagin and Dr. Vogbt, of Marion county, are dead. Will the brethren at Ocala tell us if it be true? We regret to learn that Dr. Mays has been indisposed for four weeks. He is much bet- . ter now, and thinks he would have died had he not been in Florida. In consequence of getting our trunk mis- ! placed, (we hope not lost) we are deprived of some news items we had prepared, and and some we bad clipped, which we regret. —A sister writes that she wants our breth ren who have houses of worship to build, to read Ist Chronicles, 20th chapter, and see bow much was spent in building the temple. —Here is a dollar for missions, from our sister Edge, and kind words, and a hope she may send more soon. Any one who loves the gospel like she does, will want others to have it too. It affords us much pleasure to say that brother C. C. Greene, of Louisville, Kv., is psstor of the Madison Baptist church. Flor ida, and we are sorry we did not see the fact stated in the Western Recorder, and even more so that none of the brethren at Madi son informed us of it. —Brother Joseph Thomas, of Peniel church, will please accept our sincere sym pathy in the severe bereavement he sustain ed in the death of bis wile. God has taken her and it is right, and he will bless the des olate husband and motherless little ones. Trust Him, brother T. —A note from our old friend, sister Vaughn, informs that she is at Ocala, for her health. She is anxious to be engaged with her bus | band in bis mission work, if the Lord wills. Bro. Vaughn is one of the missionaries of ! the State Board of Georgia, and traveled in Florida one winter, befoie he commenced to j preach regularly. —We are glad to be able to say that the | Foreign Mission Board has received from Florida, $104.00, or had, about the Ist. That is well. Now, brethren, while the Home Board is helping us, let us help the 1 heathen. We beg all who have funds, send , them to us, so we can report from time to I time the amount we have contributed. —Here is a note of good news from Palat ka. Brother Padgett writes recently : ‘-Rev. George Johnson, of lAkewood, Ocean coun ty, New Jersey, who is stopping in our city for a short time, for the health of his wife, is preaching in the Baptist church every Sunday, conducts a Bible class every Sun day afternoon, and has prayer meeting every Thursday evening. Brother J. is a preacher whom to know is to love. He is the same brother who supplied the Jacksonville church a few months, some five years ago.” i —A kind, brotherly note from Bishop ! Hardin —look towaid the top of your Per- I trait Gallery, and you will see his picture— i of LaGrange, Ga., tells us be is a native of I Florida, and the cold winter just past, has I made him want to be here. If you can't come to stay, come and "take a jaunt” with ' us, and tell our folks what a good school ; yours is at 1-aGrange—Southern Female i College. —"I am very much pleased with brother I Sams, the pastor of the Baptist church here. I He has been kind to me, which leads me to I believe that he is a kind pastor. His church j here seems to be doing well.” So writes an | invalid, a Baptist, visiting or stopping at Ocala, Fla. Kindness always makes us feel j good when we receive it, but more especially ■ when we are sick, and away from home, I We have felt it and know by sweet experi ence. Pastors, make a note of this. —With a mingling of sadness and delight, • we chronicle the death, which occurred last week, of our beloved young brother, Norris P. Feaster. He died at his mother’s resi dence, LaGrange, Fla., of consumption. We shall refer to him again. We are sad, we are glad. We have a friend less on earth, a friend more in heaven. W. N. C. • NOTES FROM THE FIELD. Having, by request, to serve our brother Willis in away that required our presence in the vicinity of Oclawaba Bridge church the first of February, we went a day or two in advance, and attended the “Oclawaha Union,” at Ijke Kerr church, Saturday be fore the sth Sunday in January. We have seldom bad a more severe or varied experi ence than we bad in getting to Lake Kerr. About 4’clock we were waked up to take our exit from the steamer Tuskawviila, at Duris soe’s landing. v How dark! The road led off in thick timber, and was muddy. By the light from the boat we could see now to start, and did to find brother D’s. house, some quarter of a mile away. We made hut little progress ere the darkness above and the mud beneath deterred us so much, that we con cluded to wait and see if the whistle of the steamer did not bring brother riuriso to our relief, and took a seat, lonely, solitary, on a palmetto log. "Light in the darkness,” how cheering. Perhaps it was a fire- fly. Ithas disappear ed. No, there is the light again, and too large for an insect. It moves, it gets bright er, larger, some one is coming. Brother Du riso, always good-looking, never looked so well to us as that dark morning, as we sat waiting for him by the rher. Up Io his house, a short warm, and we lie down and sleep some, getup and take bieakfast, and with young brother Holly as escort, we leave for Lake Kerr. Our way led first through a stretch of fiat woods for some three miles, then across Deep Creek—what a multitude of deep creeks in Florida—when we enter the scrub, the Etoniah Scrub—what a multitude of scrubs in Florida—and it is surely the scrub of the State. On and on we travel, rise higher and higher, and when on a high point, what a view we would have of sand bills, covered with scrub, and here and there a clump of spruce pine that had not been killed by the fire. How we did wish to get into the pine woods, because we got so tired of jolting over the roots, be cause we knew it would not be very far then to the place of meeting. Several tiroes thought we saw through, but were mistaken, but at last we did, did get through, and as we come near Lake Kerr, the scene presented was grand. M e were elevated so much that the lake seemed away below, and we not only could see the entire length of the lake, three or four miles, but over the country several miles, and could easily see the smoke of the steamers on the Bt. Johns, about Norwalk. About noon we enter the little rude, pio neer house in which school is taught, and the audience had assembled, and pastor Par- THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1881. ker, the only minister present, was about to preach, but—well he did not. Tbe Union organized by making Dr. Par ker. Moderator, and Deacon Frier, Clerk, and in the main, we were talkist. We spent the night wit-, brother Dillard most pleasantly, but awoke in the morning with some fever. It was over work gave it to us. That county is healthy. Elder Parker preached a good sermon in tbe morning. Brother Frier read a good essay in tbe evening, and we talked at random some—scattered our sbot, receiv ed some money for missions, and made sev eral, we think, want Thk Index, and we shall be deceived if some of them do not take it when able. Spent Sunday night With brother Wil liamson, a reader of Thy Index, and had a pleasant visit. During the night Dr. Parker was taken very sick, might be from eating— not tbe country, of course—but in the morn ing he started home and we to brother Du riso's, and we have heard not a word from brother P. since. Ah me 1 An appointment was circulated for us to preach at Ocklawaba Bridge, Tuesday, but we were not able, and Dr. Willis, who had come there to get a wife, kindly consented to go and preach for us, and on the next day we kindly married bim, for there were other reasons besides his filling our appointment for us, why we tried to do a good job for him. We are glad we went to Lake Kerr; glad to know the brethren ; to see the work our brother Parker las done there, and to learn they are going to build a church house We are glad brother Willis is married—he is glad too—and got us to marry him. We were glad, too, Saturday night following, when we arrived safely at Orlando, the Court House of Orange county. Services had been held in tbe forenoon, and perhaps at night, but we arrived too late for either. Soon after we arrived at tbe hotel, Bishop Gove and Deacon Blitch came around and con ducted usto friend Hughey’s. A gentleman throughout, is he, and a noble wife has he, a Methodist. We love the Methodists, but we love some better than others. We seldom ever enjoy a trip more than to brother Hugh ey's. but he did not go bear us preach, and we love to preach to such clever, temperate, true men. Sunday we preached to a large and intel gent audience, and took part with tbe breth ren (by request, not by demand or right) in the observance of tbe Lord’s supper, "in re membrance of Jlim.” At night brother Hare, who had accompanied brother Gove, preached an excellent, close, impressive ser mon. Monday night we preached again, and tbe Holy Spirit seemed to move the peo ple, and several asked for prayer. The outlook for tbe Baptisis at Orlando is decidedly encouraging. Brother Gove re ceived quite a number into the church last year, and others are moving in. The great necessity there, first of all, is a house of wor ship. At present, monthly services are held in a school-house, a mere hull, and a poor one too, but tbe brethren prefer using that to the Court House. They have a good lot, and say they will have a bouse time enough for the Association—Wekiwa—to meet in, October next, and we earnestly hope they may. They need help, but if they do not get it, the I-ord move them to go on like the brethren did in Jacksonville about paying their debt, if they can’t get help, do it them selves. They did get some help in Jackson ville, and we' think the biethren in Orlando will get some, if they will ask for it, but not much unless they do. We take the liberty as State Missionary and Secretary of the State Board, in tbe name of our common Savior, to ask each I one who reads this, if you cannot and will | not send me something to aid the poor breth ren—thev are literally poor—at Onando and Bartow, to build them houses? These are both county towns, in rising, thriving, growing sections, and good houses now, would put the cause beyond contingency, and make the churches self-sustaining. We I can think of more than one hundred breth- I ren and sisters in Georgia and Alabama, who, if we could go and ask them, would ■ readily give us from one to ten dollars. ! Will you send us something? We cannot go to see you all. Will you ? Will you ? Leaving Orlando, we stopped at Long wood, twelve miles from Orlando, and about the same from Sanford, and a mile from the station lives brother Gove, with whom, and his family, we spent the time pleasantly till we left for Apopka. Concord church, of which Elder Hayman is pastor, near Long wood, needs a house of worship, and has de cided to build nearer the depot, and a most beautiful location they have selected. The country around Longwood, and to the west j ward in the direction ot Altamonte, is a I good orange section, and quite a good farm ' ing section, too, and dotted over with lakes . We were pleased to meet here Mr. Trawick, an old Georgian, and his wife is a member • of Dr. Warren’s church in Macon, and he 1 loves The Index so well he had an extra ; copy sent to him at Longwood. He is put , ting out a large orange grove. I Apopka. Well, the post office name is ! Apopka City. It, like Orlando, is in a beau tiful section, but unlike Orlando, you can't I buy anything there to get drunk on. Sever ' al preachers liveat Apopka, and one of them is Willis M. Russell, and it made us leel like Iwe were in Georgia to see him. He was I raised in Macon, or near there, and bis fath . er was a deacon in the Baptist church, and ■ his son preaches and practices sprinkling, I calling it baptism I Alas! ala-! He is a I Christian man, and we love him. Georgia is roucbly represented at Apopka I Citv —Lovell, Davis, the Vicks, Simmons, and perhajis others. No house of worship jin Apopka! All sects worship in a hall, up stairs, privateproperty. The Methodists and Baptists have secured lots, and the lumber was being delivered at the place, to build a Methodist house. The Baptists have a good ! start, oed we hope to chronicle the fact that they are worshiping in their own house be i fore the year is out. They will succeied. They are sensible and enterprising, of whfch we mention as proof, that they gave us near ly $8 00 for missions, and a good list of new subscribers, and they don’t allow pastor Gove to work for them for nothing, and they ought not, for he has done a good work for them and the Master. We must not indulge our inclinatious, for we could say much more about Apopka. We have not visited many places with more pleasure than we did that. Without calling names, will the dear brethren and sisters who so kindly cared for us, be assured that we kindly, tenderly remember them, and we speak fi r our brother Hare too—though he was so lame he could not hop around as bares generally do—the girls out at “Lake Shad” call him rabbit. Lake Shad is a beautiful lake. Bet bleb cm, not Harmony, not Ebenezer, the piece where tbe Savior was born. We will try to remember it now. Our next visit was to Bethlehem church, Volusia comity, near Saulsville, where we have been eo fre quently, and always love to go. We preach ed twice here. They gave us a good contri bution for missions, and always do, and bad one of those basket dinners on Sunday, and two services. How we always enjoy them ! If other churches would try it sometimes, they would be glad of it. It has a good effect. It cultivates the social feeling, draws people closer together, and they get better acquainted with each other. Rev. R. W. Lawton has agreed to become, at their re quest, their pastor. We always enjoy the singing there, and we know of no other church as well sup plied with hymn books as that, (note that) and they are so well taken care of, and so politely circulated at services. The young ladies i enerally lead the singing. Note that, young ladies! We noted improvement on their house of worship since we bad been there last. There are few readers of Thk Index who get more out of It, and remember it better than brother Carpenter—a life sub scriber. We found a home again at brother Sauls'. A post office established last year, is an improvement to that section, and it is well kept, too. by our sister S. P. We hope brother Sauls’ health has improved. We left nim right feeble W. ,N. C. THE END OF THE WORLD. PROCTOR PREDICTS A FATAL COMETARY COLLISION FOR J UL Y. BUT THERE IS MORE PLEASURE IN CON TEMPLATING THE NEW LIFE ON THE EARTH [From the Constitution.] Proctor Is of the opinion that the comet of 1891 will destroy the world In July next. But we fancy our people gbe themselves a deal of un necessary concern about the five of tbe world and not half enough about their own imminence to discomfort and untimely death. The wise man Is he who.foreseeth the evil and guards himself against It. During th,- past week articles have been pub lished in The Conttitution showing what a fearful mortality has been recorded the variedi forms of kidney and liver diseases: extracts have been given Showing how of late a uew and wonderful ly simple remedy has won remarkable success In curing hitherto sunposed Incurable diseases and to-day The CouMuHon, impressed with these things, makes room for a reporter's researches in to tbe results wrought In Atlanta and vicinity by Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. The re cord is a proud oue, and it is one the names In which are familiar to all. Read the results of re portorial research. 8. Chamberlain, the well known grocer, corner Walton and Foundry street, was Interviewed, and to a scries of ques tions, he said: "For a long time I have sufl'ered everything from a painful and aggravated kidney trouble. I have taken almost everything, but all to no pur pose. 1 had no appetite, and could not sleep and had to have assistance to get up. I coul I not attend to my business, and thought I should nev er be any better. I was recommended to try Warner s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, which I did. 1 had taken only a part of a bottle when I began to Improve. The effect was marvellous. 1 regained my appetite, and after using the reme dy liberally am better than 11 have been in years. 1 have always been opposed to patent medicines but whatever other proprlc ary medicine s may be, I have implicit faith to Wai tier’s Sate Kidney and Liver Cure, asl know it will do all that is claimed tor it ” Captain Chamberlain is inex presslbly happy over his escape from the thrall dom ol a dreadful disease, and well be may be. Hearingthat Judge F. M Brooks, of Columbus, had been using Warner's Safe tfidoey and Liver Cure, the reporter visited Columbus and fouud him nt his chambers in the coutt house. Intro ducing himself as one of the newspaper fraterni ty, who had come to see him in regard to his re ported recovery from a very dangerous and pain ful disease, he was received most cordially, and the J udge stating that he did not obj ret to being interviewed, he was asked to give a statement of his case "Well, sir, 1 am getting along in jears, and I know I am as well as most men of my sge, but I have not been so until recently. Up to within a lew months, and for many years, I have been a great sufferer with kidney dlseaso, and within the last two years it seems to have extended to the liver and urinary organs. Why, sir, I have been so sick that I have many times teen confined to my bed, and have been to distressed fir want of breath that I could not go up stairs! "I have been, until recently, constantly under the cure of our leading pnyslci tns, and have tak en all tl e medicine that they prescribed for me. I have expended hundreds of dollars for medical attendance and medicine, hoping to get the de sired relief, but it did seem as though I never would be any be any better. “It is needloss forme to tell you of all the many disagreeable things that I have passed through Those suffering from kidney disease know all about it, and know bow painful and almost loathsome many of Its features are. "I became so disgusted and discouraged with medicine that I made up my mind never to take any more. ’■Well, sir, about ayearago my wife (blees her) read of some remarkable cures that had been made by the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, made bv H. 11. Warner & Co ,of Rochester, New York. Now she says: ‘J udge, I want you to get some of that medicine.’ 1 told her it was nonsense. 1 did not believe in proprietary medicine, and 1 would not take it or any thing else, but she was so persistent that I did get a bottle, and took It according to direction, bur it did me no good and I told my wife that it did not amount to anything. But she,'woman-like, insisted on my getting another bottle, and 1 did so. Well, I soon began to feel better, and I began to think that there was something in It besides advert!*-, in.'. I continued its use and Improved daily. I took six bottles of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liv er Cure, and am to-day perfectly well and vigor ous. It has done what all the debtors and their medicine could not do, and I only r. gret that I am unable to give belter expression to my grati tude. "It Is certainly a wonderful medicine, and, I believe, Hie best ever known. Itseems to have given me new fife, and although I have been en tirely cured, I take it about once a day, for I be lieve it a great tonic, and if Senator Matt Carpen ter, Fernondo Wood and other prominent men who have recently died from Bright’s disease had taken Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, I believe that they would now be alive and well.” •’Judge,” said the reporter, “have you any ob jections to tbe use of this Interview for the bene fit of tho e suffering from kidney disease?” "Not In the least, sir, but don’t forget tosay that ii i- jnst as good in oases ot liver difficulty, and all the organa connected with the kidneys and liver. I wish every oue could know of it and could be induced to use it. And lam only too glad to have an opportunity to let the people know through the medium of the press that there has at last been discovered a medicine that will cure kidney disease. I have already given H H. Warner & Co. a testimonial and they are nt liberty to publish it far and near, for I know that I ain indebted to the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure for my fife.” The man of news left tho Judge in a happy frame of mind, and next called on Dr. J. N. Gil bert, an old practitioner and druggist of Colum bus and asked him if he knew any thing about the recovery of J udge Brooks. “Why, yes; he had Bright’s disease and had been treated by all the physicians, but they nev er did him any good. I said to him, ‘Now, look here, Judge, you have had done for you all that can be done by the doctors Now you try War ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I know that Mr. Warner would not have any thing to do with a thing that did not have merit.’ Well, the Judge took six bottles, and it has cured 'him. It heals all the medicine for kidney and kidney and liver diseas«) I ever heard of I ree commend it with the greatest freedom, believing that it will do all that it claims to do. At all events It has cuied a genuine case of Bright's dis ease here in Columbus aud that is enough for me. It Is the talk of the town." The reporter conversed with a number of the Judge’s friend’s in Columbus, and he has thous ands of th-nt, end those who were aware of his happy release, declared that "that Sale Cure is the most wonderful medicine they ever beard of." In pursuing investigations in Atlanta, onr re yorter called upon Maj. J. C. Whitner, the well known and universally popular insurance mana ger, of whose singularly wonderful cure he had heard from adozen different people. Unfortu nately the Major was out of town, but from his gentlemanly son, Mr. J. A. Whitner, a very clear and interesting statement of his father’s case was secured. He said that during the war the Major was prostrated in Richmond fora long time with an acute attack of kidney disease. His physician who was a very dear friend, exhausted every ex pedient known to materia medica nt the time, urged both by personal interest and professional pride; but the most he could do was to keep him from the grave. His naturally strong constitu tion rallied somewhat, and he was able to return home but his kidneys were never restored to their normal action. "Why, ever since I can re member I nave heard father complain of the trouble ills kidneys caused him ! The attacks would not be long, but they were frequent, and lie suffered most excruciating agonies. Ido not think he ever felt himself out oi the reach of the disease. A little while ago he learned of War ner's Safe Kidney aud l iver Cure, and what it iiad done for persons affiicted as he was. and the first I knew he was taking it regularly and from thaiday to this he has been a new man. He has no more Calculi in the bladder to render his life a burden no more back ache, depression of spir it; he is as lively and chipper as I am. He is the mosteuthusiastic advocate of Warner’s Safe Kid ney and Liver Cure you ever saw. He keeps it in the house constantly,carries It with him when he travels, persuades liis friends to uve it, and baa had the satisfaction of so. iug many of them who, like himself, were liojieless victims of Bright's and other kidney diseases and bladder difficulties, restored to perfect health and happi ness. It’s a wonderlul remedy and a blessing to the world." ... Judge Logan Bleckley, known all through Georgia, ana popular wherever known, was call ed upon,but had left the city for a fortnight. His friends informed the reporter that he had used the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure with the most gratifying results. Our reporter visited many citizens who had been, as tlicy said, marvelously cured by this remedy, but they were delicate about having themselves reported by name, as they did not wish their former ailments to be tbe talk of the town. These things are records of fact, and no surer attestation of the universal use and apprecia tion of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure could be desired. It Is the rerhedy for which mate la medica has long wished, and the beat of physicians in all parts of the land recognize Its super-excellence by prescribing it for their pa tients It Is the touchstone which turns all kid ney and liver diseases tothe gold of robust health and happiness. A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY IN ELEC TRICITY. This being the age in which discoveries more or less astounding in the world of electricity are being constantly made, it does not awaken any great wonder when anew Invention for the utili zation of that wonderful agent is announced. Yet. the one we are about to mention—a discov ery of application—we consider worthy to be classed as one of the greatest, and destined to be the most beneficial, in the line of electric won ders. A young man—an Ohio man, of course—a na tive of Cincinnati. J W. Weakley, Jr., Esq , had bis attention called, last year to Electro-Thera peutics, and gave some time and study to the matter. The wonderful cures effected by that agenev was to him a matter of astonishment; but the difficulty in Its use ever becoming popular was airparent in the cost of the batteries, and dis Acuity of application of the current. Here Is where his Inventive faculty came to his aid. He devised a Faradie battery, complete with coil, C 11, and adjuster, placed upon the back of a brush of metal bristle—hair bristle not conducting the electrical current On the handle of the brush is a metallic plate connecte I by wiies with the bat tery, as are also the bristles. Taking the brush by the handle, the battery being set In motion, and applying the bristles to any part ot the body, a current is at once formed—soothing or power ful, as the patient pleases to withdraw or replace the adjuster. That the curative value of elec trl. ity is well attested, it Is only necessary to refer to writers on that subject, such as Drs. Beard, Rockwell and Hamilton, of N Y. City ; Ethridge, of Chicago ; Garrutt, of Boston ; Birch and Tlb btts, ot London. England ; and Duchenne and Cyon. of Paris, France. These eminent practition ers all cite, as among many others, as cured by electricity, the following diseases: rheumatism, paralysis, all spinal complaints., sciatica, neural gia, epilepsy, tetanus, chorea, asthma, diseases of women, diseases of the eye and ear (deafness and loss of sight) and tumors. We have no space to mention others. We can well close this notice with an extract from an article by Dr. Charles W. Duller,ln Lippincott's Magazine for March,on the “Physical Uses of Pain." He says:''More than this, pain can comne’ a person. In a state of otherwbe fatal stupor, to acts which shall save his life. Tnis is best illus'rated in poisoning with opium. The effect of an overdose of this drug is to deaden the sensibility, slowing the respiration and circula lion until the body dies, as an engine would stop if the engineer went to sleep and let his fire go out, and his boiler get empty. The only thing which, tn such cases, can save life is to dispel the Increasing lethargy and stimulate the heart and lungs to artilieial activity, until there is time for the poison to be removed from the system. For this purpose persons are usually kept walking about and stirred up by a species of whipping, or by dashing cold water upou them But a plan much better than these, which add exhaustion to stupor, is to trust to the power of exciting pain, acute enough to cause deep Inspiration and set the heart to beating fast. This can be best done with a good electric battery. When the two poles are applied to the skin, and a strong current sent among the nerves there distributed, pain will make itself heard in the chambers of the dulled brain, thence will come out an involunta ry impulse to vague efforts at crying, whlchdraws the air deep into the lungs and sends the blood coursing swiftly through the veins.” The cures which this remedy will effect are le gion, and an electrical instrument is an almost complete panacea. We would advise all iuter estei to correspond with J. W. Weakley, Jr., & Co., of Cincinnati, 0., In whose hands have been placed the manufacture and sale of the brush above described. mchSl-lt.
