Oorraaponiiag Editor and Agent- JACKSONVILLE!, FLORIDA. FLORIDA FACTS. FANCIES AND FIG UREB. —“Ood is so near to me, generally, that I can adopt the language of Mary: ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord.'” That is not fancy,' bnt a precious fact, felt by a sufferer. “I never think of reading anything after the mail comes, except my letters, till I have read the Florida Department from first to last. “The boat on Santa Fe Lake is in running order, and has been as far as the Balmoral hotel.” That is another step in our progress in State development. “We had a good meeting at Cedar Keys last appointment. One received for baptism. Please be with me there in May or June, embracing first Sunday. G. W. Hall." —“A good brother preacher asked me. not long since, to try to get you to quit calling preachers ‘doctor,’ for he did not like to have that title,” etc. There now; what shall we do about that 7 We want to please every body as nearly as we can. Some do not ob ject to Dr., and Dr. Tucker says it is a proper title, and we think he knows. Bishop, though, lea Bible term for pastor, and if that brother is a pastor, and will let us know his name, we will call him bishop, but if not a pastor we cannot. "Brother Wbo-are-you” write us a card and let us kijow your name, and we will try to please you, unless you wish us tossy “parson," or “reverend.” We cannot, conscientiously, use those titles. We are called "parson” sometimes. Ugh ! how it grates! If brother “Who-are-you" feels about doctor as we do about parson or "pas son,” we do not wonder at his wishing us to change it. Give us your name. —Bishop Porter, of Tallahassee, passed through Jacksonville April 11th, with the Columbus excursion, going np to Sanford. He wss cheerful, and reports having large congregations, good choir, and fair weekly collections. —Brother C. C. Hill has become bishop of the church at Centreville, Leon county, and will give them his whole time, and they are going to build, or are building, a house of worship. —Brother Epperson, of Williston, had his house burned, and lost nearly everything he had, January 24th. God bless you, dear brother, and help you to rejoice in your title to a “house not made with bands.” —Sister Bailey is having responses to her appeals for help, for Micanopy meeting house, from Kentucky and South Carolina. That is cheering. —Gaineaville comes forward with sll 00 for Home and Foreign Missions, and the pastor says they will do something for State Missions soon, and he will. Our first month ly report will be encouraging, although our appeal was late getting before our readers. Dr. Waugh came near having pneumo nia recently, and afterwards had pleurisy He is now convalescent, but says he cannot go to the Southern Convention. Oh, how he needs rest and relaxation I —And is it true, as is reported to have been said by Dr. Hillsman, that Tennessee has given the Home Mission Board only S2OO 00 the past Conventional year? Surely there is some mistake about it. —Dr.Barnas Sears baptized brother Oncken in 1834, at Hamburg, Germany, and he was then the only Baptist in Germany. New there are 16,000. —The first appeal we made for our State Board was at our own church, Jacksonville, and the response, up to this writing, is $lO,- 50 for State Missions, 50 cents for Foreign, 25 cents for Home, and SO cents for Indian Missions. A large number were absent, and a number of envelopes have not been re turned yet. Little Hilda Mays, Carrie Kel ler, Katie Douglass, and Willie and Eddie Cleavland, all wee ones, helped. It made us think of Little Daisy Clark and her sister, who always gave us money for missions be fore they were burned to death. God bless the children. —Envelopes, envelopes ! Yes, we have a lot of them, with some reading printed on them, and—never mind, we will just send or give you one, and it will explain itself. They are very handy. They make us feel good sometimes. One did last Sunday night. A sister in Jacksonville handed ns one, saying, “Here is something for the cause you men tioned to-day*'—State Missions—and it bad a “V” in it. • w os We knew ourappeal to thechildren would be responded to. Thank you, dear Georgie. Have yon given your heart to Jesus yet ? If not, do so at cnce, and let us hear that you have commenced to serve Him.—Uncle Shad. “Dear Mb. Chaudoin: I saw, in The Christian Inpex, that you wanted the little girls to write to you. ’As w’e have just or ganized a Children’s Missionary Society, I thought I would write to you and tell you about it. We have twenty-one members; each one pays five cents a month. We all have to work to make our money. We call our society “The Little Helpers.” We meet once a month. We enjoy it so much. I forgot to tell you that we have one little girl in our society just four years old. "Hoping you will be pleased at hearing about "The Little Helpers,' 1 I will close.. “Your little friend, "Georgik Billiard. “Micanopy, Fla.” Brother Chaudoin : It is with pleasure I communicate a few items of news from this place. For the pest two months a weekly prayer meeting has been held in our parlor; the attendance has been good. Thursday night preceding the first Sabbath in each month, will be, in the future, observed as a mission ary prayer-meeting. We believe that a deeper love for perishing souls will be kin dled by these meetings. A female prayer-meeting has been formed; one meeting has been held ; it was indeed a “sweet hour of prayer.” Wajjope that these meetings will tend to awaken more devout aspirations, and imbue our hearts with more of the spirit of Christ. B. Micanopy, Fla. Organs and Pianos—We advertise on another page Beatty’s Celebrated Organs, and to which we refer onr readers. Daniel F. Beatty began business only twelve years ago, and in that time it has swelled to im mense proportions. Perseverance, industry and energy, and the fact that Mr. Beatty’s instruments are just what he represents them to be, nothing more or lees, together with liberal advertising, have brought upon him the crown of success. Mr. Beatty was also toe first organ manufacturer to cut off the enormous profits of agents by selling direct to the purchaser.

EXTRACTS From the Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Anni versary of the Florida Baptist state Conven tion, held with the church at Madison. Correspondents to Southern Baptist Convention—Revs. J. F. B. Mays, W. N. Chaudoin and N. A. Bailey. —Ths Christian Index: Resolved, That we consider The Christian Index a moat excellent paper, a sound, safe, ably edited journal, and, in every way, a suitable organ for Florida Baptists ... we heartily recommend The Christian Index to the patronage of all the brethren of our denomination in this State. —Florida is requested to raise $5,000 of the endowment fund of the South ern Baptist Theological Seminary. The sum of $1,400 in bonds was raised dur ing this session of the Convention. —By appointment, Dr. J. F. B. Mays is to preach the introductory sermon before this body at its next meeting, on Thursday before the second Sunday in December, 1881. —One hundred and seventy-five dol lars in pledges were raised for State Mission work. —Report of Committee on Temper ance, Rev. G.W. Hall, chairman : “Your Committee are rejoiced to report that there is a great movement in behalf of temperance in many parts of our State, and we hope this good work will con tinue with increasing interest, until all the churches are aroused, and their pastors more fully awakened to the great evils resulting from intemperance, not only in the world around us, but among church-members themselves. And as moderate drinking leads to drunkenness,we would earnestly recom mend to our brethren total abstinence from all fermented or alcoholic bever ages, as the only safe-guards from drunkenness. “As many of our Associations, and other organizations of Christians in Florida, have passed resolutions, peti tioning the next Legislature of the State to pass the Local Option Law in reference to the sale of intoxicating drinks in the State, we would respect fully recommend to this Convention the importance of taking similar action. We would also recommend that this Convention appoint brother H. M. Friar to bear said petition to the Legislature of Florida, and present the same in due form.” —Report of Committee on Educa tion, Rev. J. F. B. Mays, chairman: “1. We have no Baptist school under our watch-care in the State. 2. The most important factor in our denomi national work is the education of our preachers. 3. In view of the fact that we have no school in the State, it is all-important that this Convention, at this time and place, appoint a Board of Trustees, with full power to start a school in this State in reference to the education of our young ministers, and the children of our brethren in the State. 4. That we most heartily recom mend our young ministers to attend upon the sessions of the Southern Bap tist Theological Seminary, at Louisville, Ky., as the very best school in the world for Baptist ministers not fully prepared for their work. 5. Your Com mittee feel gratified at the great work of educating the colored people of Florida, for the work of preaching and teaching that is in progress, under the supervision of our esteemed brother Fish, at Live Oak, Fla., under the aus pices of the American Baptist Home Mission Society. —Report of Committee on Missions, Rev. W. M. Davis, chairman: Your Committee, in place of a formal report, submit a few facts for the thoughtful: 1. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a mis sionary—one sent on the highest er rand of mercy to this far-off ruined world. 2. The apostles and their successors were commissioned as missionaries. While the Master was still with them in the flesh, they were ordered to do home work —to confine their labors to the Jews; but the final instruction was to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, and to the remotest ages. If we be successors of the apostles, our work, the same with theirs, is to carry or to send the gospel to all nations. 3. In the apostolic age, foreign work was begun before the Jews at home had all accepted Christ, and had it been otherwise, then the heathen had been left to this day, no doubt, in their darkness. Here is our precedent for sending the divine message of mercy abroad, before all the people at home have accepted it. It may also be added that as God blessed the gospel to the salvation of the distant Gentiles, while the Jews at home—most of them—were left in blindness, so He has in this age saved many heathen through the same agency, while great numbers in Chris tian countries have died in their sins. 4. To oppose missions, whether as individuals or churches, produces blight and spiritual decay. It were as well to speak of a thrifty tree which is not allowed to send out any branches, as to look for a spiritually prosperous church or individual in the absence of the missionary spirit. Where there is no desire to send the gospel abroad there must be little appreciation of it at home. We have only to look around us for the verification of this view. 5. American Baptists had the work of Foreign Missions unexpectedly thrust upon them. Those who took hold of it have prospered, while oppos ers have weakened, and in many cases disappeared. 6. What are Southern Baptists doing for missions? It is estimated that we have one and half millions of church members, one half million of whom are colored. Two thousand colored Karens, recent converts from heathenism, pay annually more than one dollar per mem ber for the support of missions, and be it remembered these Karens are ex tremely poor people. The 20,000 pro fessed converts to Christianity among the Burmese pay $40,000 annually. And they, too, do this of their poverty. These Burmese are estimated to pay for the support of the mission cause twenty times as much per member as do the white Baptists of our Southern States. In view of these facts, your Commit tee would suggest the importance of having every pastor in the State to preach at least one missionary sermon a year, in each of bis churches, and to take a quarterly collection for missions, to be used wherever the donors may see fit to direct. They would further suggest that a Board of Missions be ap pointed for the State, whose business it shall be to furnish the preached word to every destitute section in our terri tory.
