FLORIDA FACTS, FANCIES AND
FIGURES.
—The Peniel Sunday-school has improved
since spring opened, and the Missionary So
ciety is increasing in interest.
—"Our poverty will not allow us to do
much in raising mission funds.” Then you
ought not, but it is just as much your duty
to do what you can as if you could do much.
—"Go on with the Florida Department,
and the Lord bless you in your work, as He
has done." Thank you, brethren.
—Speaking of Lake Butler, brother A. J.
Cone says: "I find Lake Butler to be a
pleasant place to live; the people are public
spirited, wide awake and intelligent, as
manifested by the interest in a good school;
having a large academy in all its appoint
ments complete.” Numerically, only a few
of "the sect everywhere spoken against,
nevertheless strong " He further says: “A
splendid Sunday-school, in charge of that
veteran superintendent, K. D. Edge, with a
zealous corps of sisters to aid him.”
—“Good crops, good seasons, good health,
encouraging railroad prospects, make the
hearts of the citizens of Polk county glad.
Thank the Lord for His tender mercies.
“J. M. Hayman.”
—"lf these lines should meet the eye of
any minister in Georgia who meditates a
removal to a more genial and balmy atmos
phere, I would be glad to correspond with
him. A- J- Conb.
“Lake Butler, Fla.”
—lt is a fact that Florida gave more money
to the Home Mission Board the past year
than Tennessee did.
—lt is a fact that Florida had two repre
sentatives in the late Southern Baptist Con
vention at Columbus. Good I
— T t is a fact that Florida contributed over
one hundred dollars to Foreign Missions last
year. Let us carry it to two hundred dollars
this Conventional year.
—lt is a fact that PeterGrubbsstrikessome
hard licks for as small a thing as a Grubb.
Lookout, he may hit you next time.
—lt is a fact that we have never jeined the
Young Mens’ Christian Association, because
we have no tinle or money to give it. Our
church and denomination needs it all.
—lt is a fact that we lost, when we lost
our trunk recently, every note, skeleton and
brief of sermons that we had, and hence, we
do not know when we can prepare that ser
mon for publication that the Sewannee As
sociation requested. Brethren, we have not
possibly had time yet, and please excuse us.
—“Where is Scottsville, Florida?” You
must write to Peter Grubbs to tell you.
—We are anxious to hear of the church
every member of which will give our State
Board something for State Missions.
—Will brethren notify us, by postal card,
when they send on money direct for any
object? We want to keep, monthly, before
our people wnat is done by the State. Will
you do thia ? Please do, or send it to us.
CORRESP OEDENCE.
Dear Uncle Shad : I have been wanting
to write to you a long time, but being busy
making preparations for going to school, I
thought I would wait until I started to
school, and then I would write a long letter.
I have a very pleasant boarding place. It
is near Ochwilla.
We have Sunday school every Sunday, and
preaching once a month. The folks at home
go to prayer-meeting and two Sunday
schools every Sunday. We have an evening
Sunday-school since you were there, at the
Ashley’s Bend school-house. It is very in
teresting. We all enjoy going so much. We
also have a Temperance Society at Eliana,
which meets every two weeks. The last
time we met we had recitations from the
boys and girls, and we had also a speech
by the Secretary. His subject was, "Will
Temperance Pay Financially, Physically,
Morally and Religiously ?” We all enjoyed
and, I hope, were profited by it.
Miss Jessie Barrington and I are going to
try to get a temperance society here—at
Ochwilla—and hope we will succeed.
We hope to see you at the Ministers’ In
stitute. You must be sure to bring Aunt
Carrie; we want to see her.
Your loving niece,
M. Ida Hall.
Melrose, Fla.
Dear Grandpa : We are always glad to
hear from you, but you are very saving of
your dear self of late. We have thirty-five
cents apiece for you (for Indian Missions).
I find it quite hard to ask, but Jessie asks
whenever he thinks of it, and nearly always
gets something. Mother says he asks as ifhe
felt all he says. I am too shame faced. I
am out of money, except five cents, but am
going to work to get some little papers. I
do want them so badly.
Are you coming to see us this summer ? I
hope you will, for I can’t remember seeing
you. Father keeps talking of going South
this fall. I would like to make one trip.
This country is so cold.
I must not forget to tell you that I am a
field-hand now.
We haven’t any Sunday-school near us.
Wish we did have, for I delight in going.
Your affectionate grandsons,
Bayliss V. and Jesse E. Baker.
Rome, Ga.
Remarks.—ln the summer of 1860, we as
sisted Dr. Rambaut in a meeting at Cassville,
in Cass county, Georgia, as it was then
called. An orphan (in the fullest sense)
young lady was converted one day during
that meeting, while we were preaching from
these words: “For He hath made Him to
sin for us who knew no sin, that we might
be made the righteousness of God in Him,”
Three or four years afterwards we received a
letter beginning, “Dear Father.” We stop
ped in astonishment and looked at the sig
nature, and for a moment did not recognize
it. Then looked at the address, thinking,
through mistake, some one elee's letter had
been put in our box, but it was our name.
Reading the letter soon made all plain.
Years passed away, and we were called to
Adairsville, Georgia, to marry our "daugh
ter” to brother Baker. She has taught her
little boys to call us grandpa. Some over
fastidious ones may criticise this personal
matter, but hundreds will read and and en
ter into the feelings that animate us as we
write these lines.
Thank God for Christian sentiment;—for
the hope of having done some goodfor so
many nieces, nephews, and even grand
children !—Ed.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1881.
Dear Brother Chaudoin : Minutes (at
Convention) received, and some of them for
warded.
Brother Becks is feeble Brother Thomas
seems pretty well. Another burial yester
day,—Mr. John Thigpen, died of consump
tion.
Brother Becks tells me that Missionary
Ellsson has constituted one church on his
field this year.
We will (D. V.) do what we promised for
the State Board of Missions, but I don’t know
how soon. lam with you in desires for the
prosperity of our “infant Board.” In fact,
all missionary work is dear to my heart.
The spirit of Christianity is missionary, and
without this spirit it would be as dead as a
body without a soul. Would to God all our
churches might desire and work for the
spread of the gospel. Then would there be
more religious development every way.
The dear people here (Baptists and Metho
dists) are kind to us. Turnips, cabbages,
milk and butter, syrup and honey, e gs and
chickens, (“mind, I say chickens —not dead,
roasted, juicy chickens," but live, scratch
ing, cackling chickens), have been coming
in. How provoking is such treatment!
Yours in gospel bonds,
Paul Willis.
Palatka, Fla.
My Dear Brother: Knowing your in
terest in our church, I send you a sermon
(anniversary) preached by our pastor (Rev.
R. B. Headden), December 26th, 1881. A
few months before brother Headden took
charge of our church, you and brother Lof
ton held a meeting with us—that was ten
years ago—and you will recollect that, at
that time, we were having preaching once a
month only. It is different now, and I am
proud enough of the church to want you to
know what she has done and is doing, and
hence I send you this sermon, which, as it
purports, is a brief summary of ten years’
work, or during the pastorate of brother H.
We are all fond of him—our young pastor.
Very truly yours,
Andrew Baxter.
Cartersville, Ga.
Thank you, dear brother 8., for your lov
ing memory of us, and our work there. We
are "interested in your church.” How could
we help being. That meeting ten years ago
with brother Lofton, is a bright spot in our
memory. God bless you and your church
and paetor. W. N. C.
Dear Brother Chaudoin: On Monday
last they went to won on the church build
ing at Apopka City (contracted for the work),
so y«u see you will soon be called upon to
redeem the pledge,—to come when dedica
ted.
Antioch commences (a new church near
Logwood) with good prospects. Several
came forward for prayer. Sunday-school
over forty. They called me to preach for
them, and I told them they must pay, which
they agreed to do, and I give it to help build
a house. I have called a meeting to select a
missionary, and I propose to take up n>is
sionaiy collections regularly wherever I go.
and I can do so now. Your letter is the first
offer of assistance in our work. It came like
rain on the thirsty land. Our population is
increasing so fast, so much is being done by
other denominations, and the laborers are
so few, with so little inducement for others
to come, that I was ready to give up almost.
Don’t stop the Department, enlarge it.
Brother Powell (Elder G. C.) is very feeble.
Brother Tyndall had a hemorrhage on his
way home from his last appointment.
I still think I shall protract the next meet
ing at Orlando. Fraternally yours,
8. F. Gove.
Longwood, Fla.
Dear Brother Chaudoin : I will try to
write what I know.
A Sunday-school resolved on at Provi
dence. One begun at Camp Branch. One
hoped for at Beatty school-house. Church
at Lake Butler is increasing some—three by
letter. Church at Lake City said to be im
proving—one addition lately by experience,
and the brethren are increasing in holy bold
ness, (ain’t that good)? They have begun
missionary work, and hold a small fund.
The church at Camp Branch is deploring her
coldness. (Ain’t that hopeful)? The church
at Pine Grove is faithful. (Good). The
church at Howard Grove is hoping, and has
much to hope for.
Yes, dear brother, your remarks are just
about like some Florida ministers, and your
appeals are well-timed for self sacrificing
men. To any, especially single men who
want to know the chances, let me say to
them, “forget their needs, and love God’s
work, and they will not lack. I have been
preaching six years here, and have not made
five dollars outside of ministerial labors, and
have lacked no good thing. I feel that there
is good ahead. B. R. Moseley.
White Springs, Fla.
The above was all one postal card. Now,
stop and count the items of news. No less
than seven churches heard from on one
card, and a word of commendation to us,
and advice to ministers wanting to know
about Florida, and some experience. Ten
items on one postal. Wish we could see
you, “brother Ben,” right now, that we
might hug you, or wash your feet. As we
cannot do either, accept our thanks for your
news, and especially for your advice to
preachers about coming to Florida. Good
Just like your sermons, “short and sweet,”
and “to the point.”—Ed.
The Leesburg church are going to build a
new house of worship—thirty by fifty feet
—and within a few hundred yards of the
court-house. They are going to build a
house worth $1,500, and we say they are
sensible in location and style of building.
Among others (five in all) that it was my
privilege to baptize last second Sunday, was
Mrs. Beville. I felt almost like a son lead
ing the mother down into the water, as she
lias been so motherly to me since I came to
Sumpter. She had been a member of the
Methodist church for years, but still she felt
that she had never been baptized.
W. J. Hughes.
Yes, and she felt right, before you dipped
her, in feeling she had not been baptized.
Now she feels she has been baptized, and
feels right again. "Buried with Christ.”
Mr. and Mrs. Mayo, of Hernando county,
have been quite sick, but are improving.
I understand the post-master, Mr. Warren,
of Flemington, Marion county, died a few
days ago. Hughes.
Brother (Chaudoin : Not remembering to
have let the brethren at large know anything
of the work, as it is in Madison, since my
arrival here, I drop these few lines.
I arrived in Florida February 24th, and on
the 27th preached my first sermon to the
church at this place. The first Sunday was
a rainy one. I went to the church, but there
had been no Bunday school, nor had the
Bexton even come to open the house. I re
turned home with a heavy heart. At night
I went to church again. It had stopped
raining, and I guess there were about twenty
persons present. This was a strange Sabbath
to me. Quite a contrast with what I had
been accustomed to. But lam gratified to
be able to tell a different tale now. I began
immediately to visit the members of the
church, ana other Baptista living here, also
not slighting brethren of other faiths. The
result was, congregations began to grow, and
have continued to do so ever since, and now
we have the largest congregation in town.
We have also re organized the Sunday
school, and it is more promising. Have also
established a praver-meeting.
When I first spoke of this the brethren
said I would have all the praying to do my
self. But lam gratified to state that they
were mistaken, for we have some young men
in the church who are not afraid to let their
voices be heard at a throne of grace _
As 1 take a survey of the past ten weeks, I
am impressed that there is reason to be grate
ful and take courage.
Yours fraternally,
C. C. Green.
Madison, Fla.
We want our brethren all to pray for
Madison church and pastor. Our State
Board is located there. There is talent there
only needing to be developed and sanctified
more and more. We trust brother Green
will be able to develop the church. We beg
our brethren to pray for our Board.

Fearless Threshing Machine.
We call the attention of farmers and thresher
men to the advertisement of the celebrated Fearless
Threshing Machine, elsewhere in Uris paper.
Unparalleled honors have been bestowed upon this
machine, at fairs and exhibitions. State, National
and International; and, if universal victory at trials
is evidence of superiority, then most assuredly was
an cx-Prcsident of the New York State Agricultural
Society correct, in saying of the Harder Machines,
“they are the best ever made." And, as equally
good and reliable testimony has been borne times
without number, persona designing to purchase
will do well to consult the manufacturer of the
Fearless, Minard Harder, Cobleskill, N.Y,
Frink's Reflectors—The time has long
gone by wht-n halls and public buildings had
to be insufficiently lighted with afewscatter
ed gas burners or lamps, and the powerful
reflectors that bow throw their light upon
audiences that are gathered in our large
buildings tell luminously ol the progress of
the age, and the inventive genius of Mr. 1. P.
l-'riuk, by whom they are chiefly made.
The forms ol tills reflector are so familliar that
it is not necessary to describe them, as there
is hardly a hail or church in the country, of
any pretensions, where they may not be
found, and we presume it is safe to sty there
is not one where they have not answered
perfectly all that is claimed for them. The
heat of the lamps or gas draws up the foul air
which passes through an opening lu the re
flector, thus keeping the atmosphere tree
from noxious odors and substances, whilst
the reflection obtained from it is superior to
any other form of lamp or burner in use. It
is staled by those who use it that the econo
my of the arrangement is remarkable. Mr.
Frink is also the patentee of the Day Light
Reflector which is needed to throw light into
dark offices and counting rooms, without the
use of gas or other artificial light.

MUSICAL HOMES ARE
HAPPY HOMES.
"What has earth dearer in palace or grove,
Than music at nightfall irom lips that we love?"
Ah yes 1 Music, Sweet Music, does make Home,
Sweet Home, happier and dearer,and the head of a
family, that in these days of culture and progress,
does not place a Piano or an Organ in his home,
deprives himself and dear ones of a vast amount
of pure and refining enjoyment. Our Sunny
Southland has, in the past ten years, taken a won
derful step forward in Musical development, and
the grand question now being agitated in her
millions of Homes is not “Shall we buy an instru
ment,” but “How and where shall we buy it "
And It 1B a perplexing question, too. The papers
are now flooded with flaming advertisements
offering wonderful bargains of SIOOO Pianos for
$297, 17-Btop Organs for SBS. One friend advises
this, and another that, and so on, until the wor
ried buyer becomes actually afraid to buy at all,
lest he be cheated, and so delays until some un
scrupulous traveling agent comes along and
“scoops him in” with a cheap, "snide” instru
ment, which, in the end, proves a source of morti
fication, rather than of enjoyment.
WHERE TO BUY. HOW TO BUY.
THE QUESTION SOLVED.

to buy good, honest instruments at honest
prices. Ours to save buyers from Imposi
