SCOTTSVILLE.
Dear Uecle Joab : lam so glad that you
wrote me aa you did. Tell Aunt Pattie that
I am so much obliged to her for praying so
frequently and earnestly for me. 1 know I
much need her prayers. The spirit that has
come over me must be in answer to her
prayers. I have always felt that I ought to
pray in public, but somehow I got into the
habit of shaking my head when called upon
to lead in prayer, and it seemed almost im
possible to break it. People who did not
know me might have justly concluded that
I had the palsy, my head would bob so. But.
by the help of the Lord, I have been enabled
to turn over a new leaf since I came here.
Bettie and I had a long talk over the matter,
and now we have family prayer every night,
and 1 tell you it seems that I can sleep so
much more sweetly. Ido not think I ever
told you why I did not respond when called
upon. I feel, however, that I must tell you
that you may see how foolish I was. You
can see my case to advantage, too, some of
these times when you are preaching on
Christian duty, as to public prayer. 1 know
you will laugh at me, but that does not
matter now, as I am away from you and you
can’t tease me.
Brother Jones called on me one night
while the "b'g meeting of’7s" was going on,
and I felt so happy, and so full of religion,
that 1 was sure that 1 could then pray in
public, 1 got down on my kneeS ; every
body else got down, too. 1 opened my
mduth to begin, but just then I became very
much choked up, and began to pant like a
"broken-winded horse.” I tried to begin,
but I could think of nothing but "And now
1 lay me” etc. 1 concluded that that would
not do ; so 1 seized upon the Lord's Prayer,
but all I could remember was, “Our Father
who art in heaven.” For my life I could
not think of what came next. Just then I
heard somebody say, "Ob Lord have mercy;"
I said that too, but when that was done I
had to clear my throat—drew a long breath
and repeated, but stopped when the "mercy"
got out I heard a worldly chap who sat
beside me sniggle. I thought it time to stop
—which I had already done several times;
but X had to give the signal for everybody
to know that 1 was sure enough stopped.
But, to eave me, I could not think of the
word. I did not know whether it was
"glory”, or hallelujah, or Jerusalem, or
amen. 1 said “glory.” and started to get up,
but nobody else did likewise. I settled down
again and said “hallelujah, Jerusalem and
amen,” and then got up. I never was so
warm in my life, and felt that I must have
some fresh air. Old brother Smith struck up
a hymn. 1 crept out at the window, thor
oughly ashamed of myself, and resolved
never to try to pray in public again. So,
every time thereafter when called on 1 shook
my head. From that day to this, I have not
ceased to think of Jonah under his gourd
vine, and Peter by the Are. As Jonah could
not keep cool, ana Peter could not get warm,
so 1 can’t be either cool or warm when I
think of the cowardly way I gave up duty.
Since I have taken up the cross, it does seem
really wonderful to me that professing Chris
tians should be so afraid to tell God their
wants loud enough to be heard by any one,
1 can now see what the Lord meant when
He said, “Out of the abundance of theheart
the mouth speaketh.” Want is a powerful
master.
Since I came to Scottsville, I have found
that "head-shaking” in church is quite a
disease among Christians. I have seen how
bad it looks, hence I am forced to "turn over
a new leaf. 1 was impressed by the loath
someness of this disease a few weeks ago,
and it was in this wise : A preacher came
here frcm Georgia to hold a meeting. He
started out in the good old Georgia style—
with a prayer and covenant meeting. There
was a good crowd out—as is always the case
when a new somebody comes along. He
sung "Come thou fount.” Bettie and I tried
to help, and two or three others "hummed”
the tune. Called on Deacon Brown to lead
in prayer. This brother shook bis head.
"Deacon Scott, will you lead,” said the
brother. He shook his head. Brother Jones
was out (for the first time since I came); he
asked him and several others, each of whom
followed suit. I knew my time would come
next. I trembled, and felt very queer; my
heart beat so loud that Bettie asked, “What
is the matter ?” I tell you, that was a time
or struggle; but, with the Lord’s help, 1 kept
my head from bobbing. We all knelt down
(I could hear Bettie’s heart beat then). I
prayed the Lord’s prayer, and for the church,
and for the meeting, and for sinners. 1 am
feeling better than I ever did before. I feel
that 1 have gained a decisive victory over
myself. The lord be praised! Now lam
resolved to stand up more manfully for my
Savior’s cause If I can’t pray a long pray
er, like Uncle Ned, 1 can pray a short pray
er, like myself, which will tell my Heavenly
Father what I want.
Bettie and I are going to try to be zealous
in the cause, and do all we can for its up
building.
Give our love to Aunt Pattie. The child
ren are all well, and are growing finely. But
1 must close, as my letter is already too long.
I have a good deal to write you about some
things relative to our polity, but must defer
for the present. Your nephew,
P. Gbubbs.
P. B.—l thank you for your kind letter,
and shall strive to act by your suggestions.
Oh, 1 do feel so thankful for such a dear
uncle I P. G.
TEtiOTASASSA CHURCH.
Tenotaaassa Baptist church, of the South
Florida Association, is located about fifteen
miles northeast of Tampa, in Hillsborough
county, and was constituted on the 18th of
August 1854, with the following named per
sons, to-wit: Wm. G. Miley, Selby Frank
lin, Naaman Stephens, George Franklin, Sr.,
Kmeline Miley, Sr., Elizabeth Franklin, Bu
san Stephens, Lavenia Franklin and Erne
line Miley, Jr., Elders; R. G. B. Wooley and
J. M. Hayman assisting and advising.
All the above named persons, except W.
G. Miley and his wife, Emetine, were bap
tized by Elder J. M. Hayman at different
times from the winter of 1851 up to the date
of the organization. This locality was then
(in 1851), a dark and destitute place, and the
writer, in his first humble attempts to preach
the gospel, met the people of this communi
ty in a small vacated house that was occu
pied by a Mr. Brace, and soon the little
bouse was not sufficient to seat the people,
and the neighbors built a meeting house in
a pleasant oak-grove near the beautiful lake,
Tenotasassa, from which the church derived
ts name.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1881.
There are now but three of the above
named members living, to wit: George
Franklin, Br., Emeline Miley and Emoline
Pollack (formerly Miley), and they reside
there still, and are members of that church.
From the organization of the church till
February 1806, J. M. Hayman served as
pastor, and,(at his request, was excused from
serving longer as such, and was superceded
by Elder 8. B. Todd, who served them till
November 1866, when Elder A. Wilson was
called, and served as their pastor till October
1867; then Elder 8. Walden was chosen, and
served them until October 1876, at which
time Elder T. H. Jaudon was called, and has
served them till now.
Brother Jaudon came out here a deacon
from the Bethel Baptist church (now Taber
nacle church), at Jacksonville, Florida, and
put his membership into this church, and.
in October 1877, was ordained to the gospel
ministry.
Brother Selby Franklin was liberated by
the church to preach a short time before his
death.
Elder J. R. Tatum, now of Georgia, was
liberated by this church to preach in 1876,
and has since been ordained.
Brother Selby Franklin was ordained a
deacon at the constitution of the church, and
served till his death in 1865.
Joseph Casey and G. W. Smith were made
deacons, and upon the death of the latter,
his place was filled by H. M. Wilder, who
was received as a deacon from Shiloh. He
died in 1873, and D. T. More was chosen his
successor, and served till his removal in 1877,
and was succeeded by J. C. Rogers, who,
with brother Casey, now serve the church.
Three other churches, Turkey Creek, Clay
Hill and Long Pond, have been organized
partly with members from Tenotasassa. The
largest membership, at any one time, has
been one hundred and ten, but at present
the membership is sixty-one. Brother J.
M. Duffie is the Clerk, and his address is
"Cork, Hillsborough county, Florida.”
The church secured titlee to forty acres ot
land, on which they have erected a good,
substantial and comfortable house of wor
ship, where they hold meetings on the sec
ond Sunday and Saturday before, this having
been their time of meeting from the consti
tution of the body.
Any brother traveling that way will be
kindly cared for. So many pleasant memo
ries of the past concerning that church, and
of the fifty-three persons who by my hands
were "buried with Christ” in the beautiful
Tenotasassa Lake. J. M. Hayman,
Former Pastor.
GANDY.-Died. April 16th, 1881, sister
Catharine Gandy, wife of John Gandy, of
Madison county. Florida.
Bister Gandy, the daughter of Daniel Ruth
van, of South Carolina, was born December
10th, 1818; united with Antioch Baptist church
August 13th, 1881, Rev. Wm. E. Klrven, pas
tor. She was married January 10th, 1836. In
1855 her husband moved to Florida, when she
became a member of Madison church. In 1858
she translerred her membership to Piney
Grove Baptist church, where she remained
until her death.
Resolutions of Shiloh Church.
Whereas, In the providence of God, sister
Nancy Jane Hull, wife ot James Hull, was
called away the 6th of March in her fifty
fifth year,—from the cares of this life, and
from the fellowship of Shiloh church. Be it

Pastor.
Bead and approved in conference April
16th,1881.
Truly may we say “a mother in Israel has
fallen.” Uniting with the church when only
thirteen years of age, for nearly fifty years
she has borne testimony to the love of Jesus.
As her pastor we visited her during her ill
ness, and she expressed herself as being ready
to go, and died with firm faith in that God
whom she had so long served.
To the bereaved family we extend our sym
pathy, and commend them to Him who hath
said, "1 am the resurrection and the life.”

Cabinet Organs.—There are numerous firms
throughout this country who advertise Cabinet or
Parlor Organs, claiming superiority from facilities
oi manufacture, when, in reality, they never were
manufacturers of any portion of an organ, and
are simply agents and middlemen for firms who
dare not, owing to the inferior quality of their in
struments, advertise them over their own names.
It is a well-known fact that the United States
leads the world in the manufacture of Organs in
quality of tone, excellence of mechanism, and
beauty of design, and no manufacturer stands
higher iu every respect than the Hon. Daniel F.
Beatty, of Washington, New Jersey, whose manu
factory is now the largest in the world that ships
direct. This enterprising gentleman was the first
to offer the music-loving populace an opportunity
to purchase direct of the manufacture!, thereby
saving the public the enormous profits of agents
and middlemen. He has made many liberal
offers, and has never failed to keep every jiromise:
and more, we have yet to receive the first com
plaint from any of our readers who have dealt
with him. Ills last and grandest offer outstrips
all others, and is au evidence of his unparalleled
success. The Beethoven Organ is the most bril
liant and powerful musical combination ever per
fected, and Its superiority over all other organs is
attained bv the valuable Patent Stop Action held
only by Nir. Beatly. The reader should bear in
miiid that the "Beethoven," which ia shipped on
one months’ trial, has 27 Stops, 10 full sets of Gob
den Tongue Needs, and ia, iu every respect and
detail, the finest instrument in the world. The
price at which the Beethoven is offered, S6O,
which includes etool, book and music must bring
it within the reach oi every one, It is important
that any one desiring one of the Matchless Organs
should order and remit at once by a Postoffice
Money Order, Bank Draft, Registered Letter or
Express prepaid. Nothing is saved by correspon
dence, as the orders for this particular style are
coming in so rapidly that the capacity of the Beat
ty Manufactory is being tested to its utmost, and
cash orders very naturally take preference on or
der books. The feature of this great offer, viz: to
refund money sent and pay all freight charges if
the instrument is not as represented. Is not this
sufficient guaranty of the fair dealing of Mayor
Beatty ?

A RICH EXPERIESCE.
WHAT A PROMINENT AND WILL-KNOWN
NEW YORK PHYSICIAN TOLD A
REPORTER.
HIS REVELATIONS UPON A SUBJECT OF
VITAL INTEREST TO ALL.
(DETROIT FREE PRESS.)
The experience of any one of education and
learning extending over a long period of time
must necessarily be valuable, and while no two
experiences in this world are alike, there is such
a similarity between them as to render one which
is rich in valuable facte of benefit to all. America's
greatest orator declared that he knew of no way
of judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experience is of the same nature as that
history which repeats itself.
A representative of this paper while lounging in
the lobby of a prominent New York hotel, met a
gentleman whom he had known years before la
the city of Detroit, but whom he had not seen be
fore for a number of years When the knight of
the quill had last seen this gentleman, he was giv
ing his entire time and attention to an extensive
medical practice, and was on the crest of the wave
ot popularity From Detroit he removed to New
York where he could find a more extensive field
for his talents and experience. Although several
years have passed, the doctor’sp iysic* condition
had evedlntly very much improved, for he was
looking much better than when the man of news
had last seen him. After some general talk, the
doctor fell Into an easy train of oonveaution and
uttered some truths so scientific and valuable aa
to justify their reproduction la print.
Yes, ”said the doctor, " I have improved In
health since you last saw me and I hope in many
other ways. One thing however, I have succeed
ed lu doing, and it is one of the hardest things
for any one, and especially a doctor, to do, and
that Is I have overcome my prejudices. You
know there are some people who prefer to remain
in the wrong rather than acknowledge the mani
fest right. Such prejudice leads to bigotry of
the worst order, and of precisely the same nature
as characterized the sixteenth century when
people were burned at the stake. Now I am a
physician and of the 'old schoof’ order, too; but
I have, after years of experience and observation,
come to the conclusion that truth is the highest
of all things, and that if prcjudic • or bigotry
stand in the way of truth, so much thojroree for
them—they are certain to be crushed sooner or
later. Why, when I knew you in Detroit, I
would no sooner hafo thought of violating the
code of ethics laid down by the profession, or
of prescribing anything out of the regular order,
than I would of amputating my hand. Now,
however, 1 prescribe those things which I be
lieve to be adapted to cure, and which my expe
rience has proved to be such.
“ This is rather an unusual way for aphyslcian
to talk, is it not doctor?”
" Certainly it is. It is way outside of our code
of ethics, but I have grown far beyond the code.
I have all I can attend to, and am determined to
be honest with my patients and mankind, wheth
er my brother physicians are with me or not.
Why. I prescribe n-ediclnes every day, some of
them socalled patent medicines, which would
render me liable to expulsion from the medical
fraternity, but I am supremely indifferent to
their laws - " , ,
“ Are the medical fraternity oi the country
combined against proprietary medicines, doctor?”
‘•lnvariably, and it is sufficient ground for ex
pulsion iorm any medical society in the land to
prescribe any patent medicine whatever, no mat
ter if it be made from an exact formula. such as
physicians are using every day Yotrjseo the
code is established and sustained by ol<TT>*ysi
clans like myself, who make the rules and’ Insist
upon their enforcement in order to keep the
younger doctors from obtaining a foothold and
encroaching upon the already established prac
tice of the older ones. This is largely the reason
why young physicians have such a hard time of
it; they are lettered by the code, and have only
their personal influence to depend upon Insecnr
ing practice. ”
"How did you come to get such heretical idea 11
as these, doctor?” , , .
“Oh they are the result of my experience and
obseivation I obtained my first ideas upon the
subject, however, from having been cured afterall
my care and the skill of my professional brethren
had failed to relieve me. Why, I was so badly off
with a complication of troubles, Including dys
pepsia, and consequently imperfect kidneys and
liver, that I feared 1 should have to give up my
practice. For more than a month I could not sit
down or get up without the most intense agony,
and I was suffering all the while. Borne one ad
vised me to go out of the regular channels and
try a remedy that was becoming quite famousfor
the remarkable cures it was effecting; but my
prejudice was altogether too strong for thiiL
ever, 1 did quietly begin trying the remedy, but I
promise you I said nothing to my brother physi
cians, or’even to my family about it. Well, sir,
it was a revelation to me; ior in all my medical
experience I never saw anything operate so rapid
ly or so effectually as that did. I owe my health
tq-day, and for all I know, my life also, to the
remedy known as Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. That was the starting point with me, and
my prejudices faded very rapidly after that, I can
assure von. I went to reading extensively and
analyzing more extensively, and I suppose I anal
yzed all the leading proprietary medicines that
are made. Many of them I found perfectly use
less, being compounded simply of water with a
little flavoring. A vast majority of them all, how
ever, I found made up of prescriptions used by
physicians in their every day practice; but out of
the entire number 1 found only two that con
tained absolutely harmful ingredients, and these
in very slight quantities. Indeed we are prescrib
ing things constantly that have more deleterious
matter in them than they had. After discovering
this, 1 said to myself: "Why should the medical fra
ternity be prejudiced against those prescriptions
which they are writing every day. simply because
they are put up by wholesale and are sold with a
government stamp on the wrapper.” 1 saw its
manifest absurdity and resolved that I would be
bound by it no longer. Since that time, I have
prescribed proprietary remedies every day, in my
Sractice, and 1 have no reason to regret having
one so. Why, only a few days ago 1 advised a
lady who was suffering from a serious female
difficulty and displacement to use this same Safe
Kldnev and Liver Cure which cured me. I saw
her this morning and she is nearly well: the pain
and inflammation are all gone and she is around
as usual. We have no right in the medical fra
ternity to sit back and declare there is no such
thing as improvement or advancement, or that
we have a monopoly of the remedies which na
ture has given to mankind. There are great
changes going on in every department of life and
there are great developments in medicines as
well. Thousands of people die every year from
supposed typhoid fever, rheumatism or other
complaints,’when in reality it is from trichina,
and the result of eating poorly cooked and
diseased pork. A vast majority of all diseases
arise from imperfect kidneys or liver. The liver
becomes clogged, and ite work is thrown upon
the kidneys; they become overworked and break
down, and so the poison gets in the blood instead
of being thrown from the system. No one with
perfect kidneys or liver is ever troubled with
malaria ; and it is the poisonous particles which
these diseased organs allow to get into the blood
that clog the capillaries of the lungs and cause
tubercles and consumption. Thousands of chil
dren are dying every year from dropsy as the se
quel to scarletina, when in reality it is diseased
kidneys which have become weakened by the
fever they have j ust had. Here is another strange
thing: not one in ten people who have diseased
kidneys notice any pain in the vicinity oi the
kidneys, for these organs lose their nervous sen
sibility when they become diseased, and the
symptoms are shown in hundreds of other ways.
•‘Well, doctor, you have got some new truths
here, certainly, but thejr sound very reasonable
tome.” . T
“Well, whether they are reasonable are not, I
have demonstrated to my own satisfaction that
they are true, and I propose to stand bv them, no
matter how much opposition 1 may raise by doing
so. Any man, be he politician, preacher or phy
sician, who is so considerate of his pocket book
or his own personal ends as to stultify himself by
suppressihg the manifest truth, is unworthy the
name of man, and unworthy the confidence ot
the public whom he serves.’*

DeLand to the Atlantic coast is chartered and
work commenced ; also, material on hand for a
Telephone to our landing. Our boarding houses
afford good fare at reasonable prices.
For the information of invalids, we will add that
several good physicians are settled in our midst,
cultivating oranges as a business, but affording
excellent medical aid when required. They re
port the following
Remarkable Health Record:
"During the years 1878,1879 and 1880, within a
circuit of six miles diameter, DeLand being the
center, with a population averaging over 250,
many of whom came here invalids, there have
been but four deaths. Two were infants under
six months, and two were men who came here
aick."
A Chain of Lakes

perfect that the extreme cold of December 29th,
1880, did not injure our orange trees or fruit.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
MUSICAL HOMES ARE
HAPPY HOMES.
"What has earth dearer in palace or grove.
Than music at nightfall irom Ups 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 Plano 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 is a perplexing question, too. The papers
are now flooded with flaming advertisements
offering wonderful bargains of 11000 Pianos for
$297, 17-Stop Organs for *BS. One friend advises
this,’and another that, and soon, 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
flcation, rather than of enjoyment.
WHERE TO BUY. HOW TO BUY.
THE QUESTION SOLVED.
Onrs to answer. Ours to point the place
to buy good, honest instruments at honest
prices. Ours to save buyers from Imposi
tion and overcharging. The mission of
Ludden & Bates’ Sonthern Music House,
The great Piano and Organ House oi the South,
to furnish Southern buyers with Pianos and Or
gans from standard makers, at lowest factory
wholesale prices. Established in 1870, and now
an immense Music House, Magnificent Double
Store, sixty feet front, three stories above base
ment. Two hundred Pianos and Organs in stock.
Thousands of instruments sold yearly. Our field,
the South. Our customers, legion. Our capital
ample. Musicians ourselves. An army of em
ployes. Branch Houses in seven cities. Our
travelers everywhere. Exclusive control of the
best instrumen ts in the world. Direct connection
with manufacturers. Always pioneers in low
prices. Able and willing to compete with the
world. Pledged and sworn to do it.
and now mark us well.
Don’t waste time answering absurd and deceptive
advertisements. If you want cheap instruments,
we have them, and at less than the lowest. We com
pete with Beatty, or Marchall & Smith, or any
other man, no matter where he lives, or how much
he blows. 265 different Styles and prices to select
Irom, and such makers as Chicxeeing, Mathu
sheck, ARION, Southern Gem, Mason A Hamun,
Peloubet & Co., grid Sterling. Sent on test trial.
Low ireight guaranteed. Stools, Covers, Music
and Musical Journal given free. A little cash
now, and balance In the fall is all we want. Spe
cial terms for midsummer trade. 100 second
