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.

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.

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.

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.

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. SMITH—Miss George K. Smith departed this life in tiersixteenth year, at Stone Moun tain, on the 26th of May. 138 f. 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 walk was radiant with a heavenly spirit; her 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.
