FLORIDA FACTS, FARCIES AND
, FIGURES.
—Brother, please, please look at the figures
on your last paper. Do they say ’BO. or '81?
You know ’BO is past, and so your lime is out.
Send me some money to renew, end a little
(or big) donation for state Missions.
—Bishop Crosby, at Waldo, says whisky Is a
dangerous thing, lor lie was badly burl a few
days ago by an empty whisky barrel. He
was burning the bung-bole larger with a hot
Iron and It Luxated with considerable force
and report, and the heading struck him on
one ankle and leg, and gave him much pain
for several days.
—Fourteen preachers attended the Institute
at Melrose, besides a large number of deacons,
and brethreu and sisters "not a few.” Four
teen preachers together—old, young, big, lit
tle, educated, uneducated—country preachers
aud town preachers, old acquaintances and
strangers, all so loving auu easy and free
from Jealousy. Yes, fourteen of our own
ministers, aud brother Joshua Mat Uu, from
Decatur county, Georgia.
—Another addition to our "Indkx Fund,”
and yet there Is room, Ministers and their
widows, who are not able to take It, will have
to quit if their friends, and the friends of Je
sus, do not help them to pay lor It.
—A newly mat ried preacher at Melrose may
Ire glad that Peter Grubbs was not there, If
he was not. We never got acquainted with
Peter In Georgia, and would not have known
him. If ne was there—well, never mind now.
—The closing exercises of the colored Insti
tute, at Live oak, were attended by a large
number ot persons last Friday. Much praise
Is due Kev. J. L. A Fish, the principal, for
the manner in which be has conducted this
institution oi learning for the pastyear.
We clip the above from the Daily Union.
Had we not accidentally seen it there, we
would not have known notblug of It. Ah I
brother, you .ought not to do its that way.
We would gladly have published the tlifie of
your closing exercises. Write us next time
about your Commencement.
—"I am sorry to say to you that,l must or
der the blessed Iniikx to stop.” It Is painful
to read the word "stop" lu such connection,
but it relieves us much when they say,
"blessed Index."
Elder John O'Kelly, who received severe
Injury from a fall some time since, can now
again.
—Brother and bishop Malphurs filled an
appointment for bishop Crosby first Sunday
in June, in Duval county, and bad a good
meeting. Eider M. preaches to five churches
and plows, too.
—From Mt Arnou, bishop Hughes writes:
“I am detained Ijere In consequence of the
death of another one of Mt. Arnon’s members,
sister Mary Mayfield, She died yesterday,
June sth. Quite a number are sick with meas
les.” In the afternoon of the same day he
wrote: "Another oneof our members, young
brother Greg Shorter, has died." God com
fort the surviving friends, and sanctify these
dispensations to the good of the church and
community. "What 1 say unto you, I say
unto all, watch.'’
—"Two received at Micanopy by letter first
Sunday In June. Hughbs.”
—"Deacon J. L. Matthews expects to take
Thx Index as long as he Jives -Hughes.” We
have known for a good while that the deacon
could appreciate anything good.
—Miss Minnie Ellis, formerly of Georgia,
was married recently to W. P. Culbretu, of
Tampa. She is a sister of sister Hugbes.
Nearer and nearer are Georgia and Florida
becoming related,
—Ob I that some liberal soifl would have
flve-hundred extra copies of Tub Index, with
Peter Grubb’s experience about praying In
all over Florida.
—Our dear niece, Charlie J., of Georgia, In
a letter says: "Please pray lor brother and all
my Sunday-school class. 1 have twenty-four
precious little Immortals, of all ages, from
three years to eleven. Bless them, how I
love them!” Ah, yes; we will love what we
work lor. If a man works "seven years lor a
wife,” he will be apt to love her very much.
That is another Illustration of the principle
contained in what Miss C. says.
—Pastors, have you any members in your
churches who take palsy In their beads at
certain limes? Show them Peter Grubbs’s
experience, or tell It to them.
—We want money for Foreign, Home, In
dian and state Missions—forctiurch-building,
for Index and lor “Index Fund.” We do,
really. Out of so many good causes, can’t,
won't you help some ot them? We will send
you envelopes, on which you can write your
name, aud indicate the cause you will help,
If you will write to us for them. Don’t let us
ask you too often. We might get ashamed.
We beg each one of our readers to try for
orie new subscriber. Try to get one, for the
Elght-page or Four-page Index. Now, will
you try ? Please do.
—‘‘l wish to renew. Can’t do without It.
It Is one oi the Indlspensables In my family.
The editorials are worth more than the sub
scription price. They ought to be preserved
in book-form." So says one ol the most sen
sible men In Florida about The Index. You
may call It a Florida "fancy” if you will.
—"lt is ‘go preach' yonder, preach over
there; work, work; preach, preach; pray,
pray; sow beside rfll waters. The seeds of
truth are being sown, and some will fad ou
good ground. Thank the Lord If we are not
to reap the harvest we can sow seeds that will
soring up aud bear fruit when we are gone.
r "J. M. Hayman ”
—“Peter Grubbs” writes again Look out!

—Pastor Perry baptized one, and two were
restored at bis last meeting at Hickory
Spring, in Alachua Association.
—lt Is our deliberate opinion that we sel
dom, if ever, saw a more solemn ordination
than that of brother Pack, at Ellam.
—“Married, at the residence of the bride’s
mother,, near Wacalioota, Alachua county,
Florida by Rev. Z. A. Crumpion, Mr. T. J.
McKinney and Miss Budle B. Banknight.
“This world is of sorrows.
And you both may be perplexed;
But let your Bible be your guide,
And take the dear Index.”
Now, that is the kind of advice to give a
newly married couple, but ihe money did
not come for the paper. See about it, bi other
Crumpton.
—“One received for baptism first Sunday In
May, at Fellowship, and third Sunday, at
Wacaboota, three were received for baptism.”
So writes pastor Crumpton. Glad to hear of
the good work.
—We married elder B. M. Pack and Miss
Ella V. Edwards, at Cedar Keys, May 24tb,
and Sunday following assisted in bls ordina
tion to the ministry. The dear young brother
jell that he must have a help-meet ere he
could enter upon the full work ol the minis
try, and married before his ordination.
-The church at Apopka hope to dedicate
their new house of worship the second Bun
day in July.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1881.
LETTER FROM BARTOW—PRAYER FOR
THE SICK, ETC.
Miss Susan J. Handcock was taken tick in
April, 1877, and was confined to her bed
nearly, all tb« time, and was under medical
treatment till the Bummer of 1880. In the
earlv part of the year 1877, she was attended
by f)r. A. Gullatt, for the term of abont six
months, with do permanent relief, when
her case was made known to Dr. 8. F. Sal
ter, of Atlanta, Georgia, and she was then
treated by him, and took his medicines, and
continued to grow worse and. on the 24th of
April, 1880, she lost her speech, and remain
ed so till the fourth Sabbath in June, when
she was enabled tospeak again. About the
Bth of June she sent for elder A. Wilson to
come to her father's house and pray for her,
that she might recover. (Bhe could express
her wishes by writing or whispering). Elder
Wilson, in compliance with her request, met
with several brethren and sisters—members
of the same church where her membership
is—and engaged in singing and prayers, in
the sitting-room, while her mother and
some of the sisters were with the dear
afflicted girl in her room, praying for her,
and "anointing her with oil in the name of
the Lord.” And after the prayer-meeting
had ended, at the suggestion of elder Wil
son, she promised not to be treated any more
by physicians for this sickness.
She, at this time, was reduced to a mere
skeleton, and it seemed to all who saw her
that she would soon die. But she believed
the Lord would spare her life, in answer to
the many prayers that had been made for
her during all her sickness in the prayer
meetings at the church, and the prayers in
the congregations, as well as those made in
the family, her case was mentioned, and the
prayers of all were, that she might be res
tored to health, to the church, —that all
might see her fill her seat in the church
again.
Soon after the prayer meeting ather home,
she began to improve, and on the fourth
Sunday of that month (June), she could
speak audibly to those around. She con
tinued to improve aud, on the fourth Sun
day in March last (1881). if.l remember cor
rectly, she attended her church and heard a
sermon, having been absent nearly four
years. And now she is well, fully restored,
quite fleshy, cheeks rosy and, doubtless,
better than she ever was, and can say. "It
is good for me that I have been afflicted.”
How we rejoice in her recovery I What
encouragement to pray, and "have faith in
God!” It is not vain to serve God, for all
who serve Him, He will honor.
J. M. Hayman.

THE INSTITUTE AT MELROSE.
Dkab Brother Chaudoin : lam glad to
have enjoyed the privilege of attending the
first Ministers' Institute ever held in Florida.
Wherever the Lord’s ministers meet for
consultation, exchange of ideas, mutual im
provement and encouragement, there I find
it pleasant and profilable to be. What is
there that can be more helpful to a plodding
servant of the Lord in bis work than such a
meeting as the one named above, since it
leads him to seek higher attainments iu
Biblical knowledge, more efficiency in pas
toral work and a closer walk with God?
The information gained, the mutual sym
pathy, and fresh courage inspired—these are
results of our meeting that may not be un
worthy of mention.
This new enterprise of ours, which has
met with such signal success in the outset,
marks a new epoch in our denominational
work ; and if it be perpetuated, and rightly
fostered, there can be no doubt but that it
will result iu untold benefits to the cause of
Christ at large in our State.
I would like to speak of the excellent
essays,lectures and sermons listened to, the
impressive ordination of brother Pack to the
full work of the gospel ministry, and the
princely hospitality of the Eliam people,
also of the large collection for State Missions
on Sunday, but I must forbear.
Yours in Christian love,
P. Willis,
Palatka, Fla.
P. B.—The Putnam Union meets with
Peniel church in July. Come.
AN APPRECIATED LETTER.
Dear Uncle Shad : You have been send
ing me word to write to you, but I hated to
write and not send any money. I gave my
money to our Sunday school. Hope I will
have some for you soon.
Brother Pack came to see us and organized
a Sunday school, and we made up money
to get some books. I love to learn my les -
eon and go to Sunday-school. I love the
sweet songs, too.
Brother Pack gave me a pretty book,
"Happy Children” is the name of it. The
children were happy because they were good
and tried to make others happy.
Now, I want to tell you that I have two
aunties in Florida. Aunt Thesia has been
to see us, and we were so glad to see her.
Aunt Minnie married Mr. Culbreath, and
we are looking for them to come to see ns
from Tampa. I close, sending my love to
you and Auut Carrie. Mamik Hughes.
The above is a good letter, from a little
girl qnite young, aed yet how much interest
she takes in Missions and Sunday school
work. We hope other nieces and nephews
will write us. Uscle Shah.
—The Ministers' Institute was, In everyway,
a grand suooess, especially in numburs, pleas
ure and instruction. The people gave us
numbers; toEil.tm church aud commuuUy
we were largely Indebted for pleasure, and
bishops Waugh, King and Mays for Instruc
tion Hut, as tull oi it as we are, we are too
sick to write more about it, and will get others
to do so. It was one Cf the best meetlugs we
ever attended. •
lilE TRUE lEST.
The Merit of Religion, Government, Persons and
Things Must Reel upon a Basis of Worth.
SOME TRUTHS ILLUSTRATING THIS. AND TESTIMONY
OF VALUE TO ALL lIEADKKb.
(Christian at H’ort)
Thu true test of any religion is the effect ft pro
duces upon 1 he lives of those who profess It. And,
Indeed, the test of real merit every where must be
the power It possesses of accomplishing desirable
results. In this age of the world men are not
judged by what tijdy claim to be able to do, but
by vthat.they can do: not by what they are refut
ed <0 be, but by what they are. Here Is where
the religion of our own country rises superior to
the faith of Mohammedan or Hindoo lands; for
while there Is much hypocrisy in the church, and
Ur too much worldllness, there is yet an absence
of those sensual and brutal eleuienU which char
acterises the religious of Arabia and the Ganges.
The principle is equally true In all other de
partments 01 life. >he same rule which applies
to persons is equally applicable to tilings. Un
questioned merit must eharacteriz them all, or'
tney cannot be acceptable, much lets popular.
The clear and well arranged lecture delivered by
Dr. Chas. < ralg before the Melropolital Scientific
As-ocixtion appeared in thecoluumsof this paper
a short time since. In this lecture many truths
Were brought to light bearing diieclly upon, ano
affecting the Interests of, the entire community.
These lacts, as stated by Ute docorln his leetu e,
have b-.eu discussed in the columns of the re’l
gious press to a consid rab e extent iu the past,
and that, too. by very prominent personages.
A few years ago the Kev. J. E. Rankin, D D , of
Washington, whois prominently known among
the Cougn gatlonai denomination oi the country,
published an article upon the same subject w hich
drew forth most bitter replies l orn prominent
physicians, and In response to th se articles Dr.
Rankin publi-hed long comtnuuicitlons in the
New York Independent. the Boston Congregation
aist and tbe Chicago Advance reiterating his for
mer statements ami strongly emphasizing them,
lu this articles Dr. Rankin frankly stated he was
as strongly convinced of the efficacy of the means
used as he was that the Genesee nver emptied In
to Lake Ontario. He further said: "I have
known, too, of its use in similar cases by physi
cians ol the highest character and standing, and
I want, In the interest of human! y, to recommend
Warner’s Sate Kidney aud Liver Un re."
Now, while very few people are afflicted as sev
erely as was Dr. Craig, or the rases Dr. Rankin re
fers to, still it is a lamentable fact that the great
majority of people, in all parts of the land, arc
sulleiing to a greater or lessextent from ill health
glut that this luck of health arises from either dis
ordered kidneys or liver. Some additional facts
from the highest soums of special interest, upon
II subject ol such importance to the community,
have therefore been collected by this paper and
are hefewith given:
Rev. D. W. Birtine, M. D., D. D., is known in all
parts ol the land as a prominent and efficient
leader in the Methodist denomination. In speak
ing up-n this same subject as shojvu in his own
experience he said: "some few mouths since I
found myself suffering from a kidney difficulty
which 1 knew to be the first stages of Bright's dis
ease. By the use of a reliable lest I found that
my system-was giving off albumen, and i 1 some
instancet in a coagulated stale. I also suffered
severely from dropsy, particularly about the an
kles, together with slight pains qbout the kid
neys, derangement of digestion and great dryness
of the skin. I had at all times much thirst and oi
course this was followed by a gradual failing of
stiength. This was about the state of thing, wucn
I commenced using the prep .ration known us
Warner’s Safe Kidney Mud Liver Cure. I took
about six tablrapoouiuls everyday for a week,
aud found all my symptoms decbiedly improv
ing. I continued taking the remedy until I en
tirely recovered." •
In a commu fleation made by Rev. Rev. Dr. C.
A. Harvey, the Well known financial apdeducp
tioual secretary of Howard University, Washing
ton, D. C. the doctor says:
"1 have for the past few years been acquainted
with the remedy known as W arner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure and with its remarkable curative
efficacy In obstinate and so-called incurable cases
01 Bright’s disease which ocoured In this city,
lu some of tin se cases, which seemed to be iu the
1 ststages and had beep given up by pructit oners
ol both rehools, the speedy cures which were
wrought by this remedy seemed to be little less
than misteulous. I am convinced that for Bright’s
disease in all its stager, including those fir-t
simptoms of kidney troubles which are so easily
overlooked, but are soTraught with danger, uo
remedy heretofore discovered can be held for one
moment in comparison with this, and I houq that
Warner's Safe Kidney ami Liver Cure may become
as widely known as is the existence of the malad
ies which it will cure.”
Rev. A. C Kendn. k, D D„ LL. D., who is pro
fessor of Hebrew and Greek Iknguages in tbe Uni
versity ol R (Chester, N. Y., and who is one pf the
American revisors of the New Testament, in
Speaking of the effect which Warner's Safe Kid
ney utid Liver Cure bad upon himself, stated
most emphatically that he had received marked
benefit from it, and he cordially recommended
it 10 the use of others.
Kev. A. Bramley, pastor of the Arsenal street
M E. church, Watertown, N. Y., testified iu a
recent interview that the first few boules of War
ner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure had entirely re
moved the distinctive features of a severe kidney
difficulty, aud that while he had not been aule to
lie upon his back without great pain for more
than five years, he was now not only able to do
so, but slept soundly, ate heartily and calls him
self a well man
Rev. a. P. Hill, of Shoeheel, N. C., having been
troubled with a severe kidnev aud liver disease
for a number of years, said: “I have been pray
for relief for four years, and I believe I got it in
answer to prayer. May God bless the firm who
manufacture Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure. Many of my friends have also used it with
marked benefit, and 1 hope my testimony in its
behali may save the lives and relieve many who
are now severely suffering from kidney or liver
troubles in some pf their many ana dangerous
forms.”
Kev. P. F. Marklee, in writing from Montgom
ery, Ala , said: "I have paid at least one thous
and dollars for doctors and medicine, and never
received any relief until I commenced taking
Warner's Sale Kidney aud Liver Cure. 1 am too
lhauki'ul to express iu worosthe benefit this med
lelue has done my family and myself. 1 have been
to tbe Hot Springs, sulphur springs and several
other places noted for the curative properties of
the w, ters, but this great remedy did for me what
everything else failed to do—it cured me. I hope
the Good Father may crown tbe efforts of those
who are manufacturing it for the noble work they
are doing,"
There are no more reliable endorsements to be
found in this land than those above given, and
comi g from divines of such prominence they
prove beyeud a doubt thevalue of the great te
rn, dy ot which they speak It should also be re
membered that Mr. If. H. Warner, the proprietor
and manufacturer of this remedy, was himself
cured by lbs use after having been given up to
die by several physicians. So grateful was he
for his remarkable cure that he determined the
world should know of this remedy, and he there
fore began iis manufacture. Mr. Wsrucr is also
a prominent patron of other public enterprises
aud tbe sciences and by endowing the Warner
Astronomical Observatory at Rochester, as well
as by hi, many other public benefactions, hits be
come known to, and respected by the whole la>-d.
His standing alone is an ample guaranty of the
purity aud wortli ot the remedy he mskes, but
the thousands of testimonials from all parts of
America gratefully telling of the relief it has
given, prove it beyond a question. As a result it
Is attracting gieat ami universal attentiou
throughout the entire country. No one fact has
been more apparent in the past few years than
that kidney aud liver troubles are alarmingly in
creasing, When, therefore, a remedy has been
found which not only cures the worst as well as
all minor troubles of this nature, but also regul
ates, controls and ke ps iu perfect order these
most important organs at all limes, tt Is certainly
cause for gratitude. This is just what has been
done iu thousands of cases, in addition to those
above mentioned, and it is wbat will be done in
tens of thousands of other cases In the very neat
future.
When the excellence of Rice as a diet is
fully understood, its use will be more fre
quent and of daily occurrence in every
household. At this season of the year espe
cially, it may properly be classed as superior
to any of the cereals which are in such gen
eral use for the morning and midday meals.
No other food is so easy of digestion, qnd at
its present cost it is cheaper than potatoes,
oat-meal or graitngrits of any kind.
OBITUABY.

She was a young lady of rare Christian
charaeter, and her life was holy* aud useful.
Seldom do we see one .30young endowed with
so many excellences: one so ripe In piety,
'SO rich in failh aud good works. Her dally

conversation fragrant with godliness
The writer of this baptized her in her four
teenth year, and gratefully testifies to her
pure and fervent love tor Jesus, snd her
abounding diligence and zeal In the Master’s
cause. Iler earnest endeavors to lead others
to her Savior, have sown undying seed in
many hearts.
As she was about taking her heavenward
flight, she exclaimed, "Mother, two angels
have come!” Yes, those bright messenger*
have conveyed our dear one to her eternal,
celestial home, but she Is still our precious
treasure, a beauteousstar shinlug down upon
us from above Mysterious, Indeed, is the
Provldeuce that removed such a sweet young
Christian In her blooming prime; but we
know that the life that opened so beautifully
here, is going on to perfection In a purer
world on high, where love’s golden light
shines forever upon the soul, and Joys spring
eternally In the heart. V. C. N.
