8 The Christian Index. A RELIGIOUS AND FAMILY JOURNAL. Per Annum, In Advance l2 60 If not paid Blrictly in advance. .. Joo Thilwdkx and Portrait Gallery 8 60 Florida Department. 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.” ——— l . 1 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. W. N. Chaudoin, 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. Atoka, C. N., March 24, 1881. S 11X.
