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 therefore Resolved, Ist. That we humbly submit to our Heavenly Father’s will, believing that our loss is her eterual gain. Resolved, 2d. That, in the death of sister Hull, Shiloh church has lost one of her zeal ous and faithful members. Resolved, Bd. That we offer the bereaved family our tenderest sympathies and pray ers for sustaining grace. L Resolved, 4th. That these resolutions here corded on our church book, sacred to our sister's memory, and that a copy be sent to the Florida Uepartment of Tin Christian In dex for publication. T. H. JaunON, 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.” Pastor. 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 ? ■ ». We invite attention to the advertisement of Robert W. Kip, 62 Fulton street, New York City, manufacturer of Medals, Badges, etc., for schools, colleges and societies. Mr. Kip makes sterling articles of this class, executed with artistic taste and skill. His references areof the highest order, and promptness and fidelity have given him an excellent reputation among educators. Send to him for facsimile of his designs with prices. The closing of the year ior schools makes this the op portune time to send Mr. Kip orders for medals, etc. Jun 9 3m. CONSUMPTION CUBED.

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.’* MERCER UNIVERSITY.

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.
