W. I. OHAUDOIN, Oorrszpondlng Editor and Agrut-
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA,
FANCIES, FACTS AND FIGURES,—IN
FLORIDA AND ELSEWHERE.
—A. Sabbath school has been organized at
Lake Kerr church, aa we iearn from brother
Williamson. Glad to hear it. We thought
you would do that. Tell ua about your
meeting-house, too.
—“I think preachers have a hard time, at
beat, and 1 deeply sympathize with them,
and try to make their visits pleasant."
Thank the Lord for such words, and these
words are from one who does more than say
words.
—“I, too, am unwilling for you to give up
your Department." We put m this as an
other vcte upon our request, some lime ago,
that if the brethren desired a change to say
so. Since making the request, the votes
have all been like the one above, unless some
are polling their votes at Atlanta.
—We learn that brother J. M. Caldwell is
Clerk of the County Court of Hamilton
county. We regret that there was any ne
cessity for hia accepting the appointment,
and we take it for granted that if his support
for preaching had been ample, he would have
given himself entirely to the work.
—The members of Paran church have put
a new roof on their house of worship, ss we
learn from brother S. E. Timmons, who also
informs us that bis father, Kev. E. B. Tim
mons, is in feeble health. Brother 8. E. Tim
mons is Tax Assessor of Putnam county.
—“You don’t know half how much I talk
for The Ihdkx.” No, but we do thank you
for every word. You talk for it, too, because
you love it. W'e have done favors for a good
many of our ministers, and we are afraid
some of them do not talk for us.
—Will our little State have any represen
tation in the Southern Baptist Convention ?
We mean to apply the word “little” to our
State only in a religious, or rather, Baptist
sense.
—We have bad extra copies printed of the
Minutes of our State Convention, containing
a likeness oi brother Tomkies and his suc
cessor in the pastorate at Gainesville. Any
one sending us fifteen cents in money or
stamps will get a copy. What we get over
the cost of printing these extra copies, will
be used in printing Minutes of the next ses
sion of the Convention.
—“Baptized two at Pine Level last meet
ing, and received one for baptism.”—W. J.
Hughes.
Brother H. says, “Pine church is in
Sumter county.” Thanks, dear brother;
you did right to tell us about it, and not go
croaking round and make someone in Sum
ter mad and, may be, quit taking The Index.
—To our brother Jackson, at Gainesville,
we extend all the sympathy we are able.
We have never lost a companion, and hence
know but little of the bitter trial. We call
to mind the promise we made sister J. to
visit her, but we shall see her next when we
get home. You have another tie binding
you, my brother, to the bright world above.
—"I inclose $ for The Index, which
has been a welcome visitor to my home for
some time. My time is out, and has been
for several weeks, but I have neglected writ
ing until now. Very respectfully,
“Josiah Seekingkb.”
We print the above as a model for you,
reader, if your time is out.
—There is to be a Ministers’ Institute in
May, beginning Friday before the fifth Sun
day, at Eliam church, near Melrose, near
Santa Fee Lake near Dr. McKae’s near Gen.
Earles', near Waldo—near several other
places “to tedious to mention.”
—Remember, the Georgia Convention
meets at Athens, Georgia, Thursday before
the fourth Sunday, and just two weeks later
the Southern Baptist Convention meets at
Columbus, Miss.
—“Conundrum : Why is an editor’s losing
his trunk like religion’ in the heart? Be
cause you cannot understand it till you ex
perience it.” Ihat is true, for this editor
knows both, as he thinks.
NOTES FROM THE FIELD.
—Rockledge, the name of a new post office
on Indian river, is about the centre of the
community known by’ the same name, and
which extends five or six miles along the
west bank, and is one of the most beautiful
sections we have seen on Indian river or
elsewhere. The bank is high, and the land
good.
There is no meeting-house in this commu
nity, nor eny school-house worthy of the
name. There are several Baptists at Rock
ledge, and across the river, on Merrett’s Is
land, and a little church might be gathered
there. We preached, on short notice, to a
small audience, but there were quite as
many as could be accommodated.
The M. E. Church, and the Southern
Methodists are represented on the river, and
their strength is divided abont equally. The
field oould better support one Baptist minis
ter than two Methodist ministers. The Lord
send the man I We were most kindly cared
for by onr brother, Capt. May, of Alabama,
originally.
—On a second visit to LaGrange we held a
meeting, and baptized, at the close, one
young lady, under circumstances calculated
to make the occasion one of peculiarly pleas
ant, yet painful interest to us. A year before
we baptized her brother, who was carrying
the mail, but was so desirous of obeying the
Savior. that he made arrangements to stop
off. The morning after his immersion, he
remarked to us that he would not undo what
he had done tor anything. He was feeble
somewhat at the time, and did not rally, but
declined, till at last he was confined to his
home. On Sunday night, at the close of our
meeting, at his request,the little church cele
brated the Lord’s Supper at his house—bis
mother’s residence—and a precious season it
was. He enjoyed it intensely though quiet
ly, and his cup was full when his sister ap
plied for baptism. Though she was im
mersed the next day near the house, he was
unable to go to see it, and in a few days
passed sweetly, quietly away, and brother
Hare conducted an interesting service at his
burial.
"Brother, thou art gone,
But we will not deplore thee.”
—By invitation we visited DeLand, a vil
lage with post-office, daily mail, three or
four stores, a drug store, two excellent board
ing houses, and a comfortable, well-finished
school-house, which is at present used as a
place of worship. The Rev. Dr. Hildreth, of
Pittsburg, whose family are stopping at De-
Land, organized the Baptists into a church
in the early winter, and Dr, J. D. Bohannan,
of Georgetown, Ky., has been preaching for
them twice a month.
We learn there is perhaps some necessity
that brother Hildreth should remove south,
and he may probably locate at DeLand,
which we mucn hope will be the case, for
he is a grand man and a grand preacher.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST! THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1881.
While at DeLand we stopped at the same
house with Drs. Leonard and Watson, of the
M. E. Church, and heard them preach.
Looking through blue or green glasses every
ibing looks blue or green. These were
“sanctified," or “holiness camp meeting
men,” and all their preaching runs that way.
They saw it in every text, whether it was
there or not—had on that kind of glasses.
We were convinced that sanctification was
not complete in one of them when we heard
how be abused, wrested, garbled, caricatured,
misconstrued and mangled, bruised and
perverted, one of the grandest, sweetest texts
in God's word. If the text had been full of
contagion, he would have been in no danger
—never got into it, or near it.
DeLaud is five miles from the landing cn
St. John's river, and there is a good road to
the town, and prospect of a railroad by next
season. We know of no prettier section of
country than around DeLand, and although
it has been some five years since the place
commenced to build up, as yet there has
been no cemetery made—no need of any.
We could, and may, say more of this de
lightful section and place, it we give no
offence. Why, we know not, but our dear
brother, DeLand, for whom the place is
named, and who it was our pleasure to meet,
has gone all round us in advertising the
place. There is no Southern paper in which
—religious we mean—an advertisement
would do that, or any other place in Florida,
more good than The Index, the old, reliable,
dignified, widely-circulated Christian In
dex.
From DeLand, wego to Jacksonvillenext,
where we find Dr. Mays convalescing from
a severe attack of cold and ssthma, and from
which be thinks he would never bavarecov
ered but for being in Florida. We seldom
hear a sermon of more practical power, and
better spirit, than be gave us on Zaccheus.
Illustrative is, after all, the most effective
preaching. Show people pictures—real, life
like—pictures of themselves. A few. very
few, can reason, but a child can seea picture.
Illustrate,illustrate.
REV. DANIEL EDWARDS.
Daniel Edwards was a native of Georgia,
where he has living a large number of rela
tives, as he also has in Florida. He was
born August 16th, 1804; united with the
church in 1831; was licenced to preach and
ordained to the ministry in 1839, and died at
his home at Crystal River, .Florida, August
3d, 1867, wanting only a few days of being
sixty-three years old.
“He was instrumental in constituting
many of the churches in East and South
Florida. His presence was always greeted
with delight in our religious convocations.
He had been for many years the Moderator
of the Alachua Association, where his voice,
in council with his brethren, was heard with
respect and veneration. His pulpit efforts
were marked with an energy and earnest
ness that carried the conviction to the minds
of his hearers that he fully believed what he
preached.”
As a husband, father and brother, he was
devoted, true, and few men die more lamen
ted by a large family connection than did
he. The writer has often been delighted to
hear Daniel Edwaids spoken of in the most
tender and endearing terms by friends as
well as relatives, after he bad been deceased
several years, and is prepared to Indorse an'-
other statement from the same source from
which we have already quoted: “Though
that familiar voice will be heard in council
and admonition no more on earth, his inHu
ence will speak in living tones to many, for
ages yet to come.” We nave seen his Influ
ence in children and grand-children, and
that it may continue with the many rela 1 -
tives, friends and children in the gospel, we
have written this sketch—feeling that to re
vive afresh the memory of such a life, and,
put it more permanently on the page of bis
tor , is not only due to the dead, but to the
living, I,'
He served, during his ministry in Florida,
the Fort Clark, Wacahoota, New Providence,
Fellowship, Long Swamp, Stafford's Pond,
and Sand Pond churches.
Rev. J. H. Breaker preached his funeral,
selecting, appropriately as a text. Rev. 22:
14: “Blessed man, in life, in influence, in
death, but how much more blessed nowI"
"Servant of God, well done;
Rest from thy loved employ.”

STATE BOARD MEETING. ANNOUNCE-
RENTS,-BEQUESTS,-PLEASE READ AND
ACT.
The State Board held its first meeting at
Madison, Monday, March 28th, 1881, and
perfected an organization by electingbrcther
Carlos W. Stevens, Recording Secretary, and
the Corresponding Secretary was elected
Treasurer. The members of the Board pres
ent seemed interested, and entered upon the
work entrusted to them by the Convention
with a proper sense of their responsibility.
After due deliberation and interchange of
opinion, appropriations were made to two
mission points, Orange Lake and Fruitland
Peninsular, appropriating twenty-livedollars
per quarter to each mission, till the next
Convention.
Some other resolutions were passed, of
which we shall have something to say here
after. Now, please note the following re
quests :
1. The brethren who made pledges, at
Madison, for themselves or churches, are
earnestly requested to forward at least one
fourth of it as soon as possible.
2. We very earnestly beg the pastor of
every church to read this at their next meet
ing, and “pass around the hat” for this
young, new Board. You never took a col
lection for a State Board in Florida before.
We are desirous of being able to meet each
obligation at the end of each quarter. Now
don’t wait, nor neglect it because you may
get but little. Send a quarter, a half dollar,
—if no more, a nickel, even.
3. Please remit to me all funds for Home,
Indian, or Foreign Missions, or Theological
Seminary. The State Board is expected
through the Secretary—to collect for all ob
jects fostered by the Southern Baptist Con
vention, as well as State Missions, and we
shall, once a month, report in The Index,
all sums reported to us for all the above
objects, and for church building. Now, let
us see how good a report we can make the
first month of the first quarter. Address us
at Jacksonville, Florida.
Shall we report, the first time, some ten,
some five dollar offerings? Who will send
“two mitrs?” Pastors, brethren, sisters,
children, help ! and especially help our in
fant Board to grow till it can walk.

Cor. Sec. and Treas.
An Important Publication—The Geor
gia Gazetteer.
The reader will scarcely overlook the promi
nent advertisement of the (standard Directory
company, which appears in this morning’s Con
stitution. They announce that the work of pre
paration for the Georgia State Gazetteer and Di
rectory sci 1881 and 1882, is now being vigorously
prosecuted. We are gratified to state that the
gentlemen composing the firm mentioned, have
the enterprise in charge. Mr. C. W. Norwood,
compiler of the Georgia State Gazetteer and Di.
rectorv for 18'9, thoroughly understands the busi
ness oi compiling works of this character. Both
the Georgia and Tennessee state Gazetteers at
test the perfection of his handiwork and his
capacity asan artist in thia line. Messrs. Harrison
A Co., proprietors of the Franklin steam printing
bouse and publishers of the Georgia State Gazet
teer of 1872. are not excelled anywhere as book
publishers. With the abundant capital, untiring
energy and liberal enterprise at lheircommand.
we do not hesitate to predict that the forthcoming
Gazetteer and Directory will prove a moat thor
ough and reliable publication. /
The presa of Tennessee gave thestandard Direc
tory company most hearty indorsement and the
people extended them a generous patronage. Let
Georgiana do likewise.— Atlanta
FROM THE CHOCTAW NATION.
Mr Dear Nephxw: You want to know
something of my work, etc. Dear boy,
I oould not give you a correct idea
on a quire of paper. The truth is,
I am over-worked. It is now 6 o'clock in the
morning, and I have been up over an honr
at my desk.
I have the care or oversight of 26 churches
and a number of stations. Borne fifteen na
tive preachers constantly look to me for ad
vice, direction, help, etc. Four have been
here this week. They require time, patience,
and bread and meat.
I do not travel near so much as I did. but
I work much harder and trust I am useful
to my Master.
My postage costs me abont SSO a year. I
have no means of support except my little
salary of SBOO trom the Rehoboth Associa
tion of Georgia- It requires close economy
and good management to live and keep out
of debt. I am very poor—have nothing
more than when I first came out here. Have
never tried to make money. You must not
think that, because I am among the Indians,
my wants are few and simple. Society here
requires just what it does in Savannah.
Most of the Indians are poor and simple,
but some are better off; and we have
churches, schools and cultured society, just
as there. Good houses abound in this vil
lage ; fine furniture, pianos, organs,—fine
dinners, literary societies, etc. Were you to
be set down in our chapel some Lord's day
during service, and see your cousin playing
on the organ, and a choir of good singers
leading a large audience of handsomely
dressed, intelligent ladies and gentlemen,
singing “Jesus Lover of my Soul,” you
would scarcely suppose you were in an In
dian church, unless yon might detect it in
the large number of full-bloods present—in
their faces I mean—you could not detect it
in their dress. We’ are not savages here,
William I—get that idea in your head and
keep it there!
And so your father has eleven grand
children 1 Hurrah ! for him. Well, I have
made a start—Cogee has one baby— a great
big, fat, pretty, sweet, good and glorious
boy—named Joseph Murrow Mcßride. He
is eight months old, and can stand alone,
and has six teeth ! Ain’t he a thumper? 1
am very much troubled lest President Gar
field or Queen Victoria, or the new Czar of
Russia will hear about my darling grandson
and want to take him away from us. But I
would not give him for forty times all they
are worth I
Do remember me most affectionately to
my old chum, Mr. Tyson, and tell him the
boot is on the other leg—he owes me a letter.
God bless you, dear William, and your
wife and child, and Mary and hers, and all
of you. Pray for me my son
Yours in Christ,
J. 8. Murrow.
