CORRESPONDENCE,
Diab Broth kb : To avoid another threat
ened scolding, I will, in a few words, let you
know what is going on at Madison. Since
last I was heard from, 1 have had the (fleas
ure of burying my first candidate in baptism,
—this was the second Sunday in June. It
was the graud-glaughter of our dear brother
Moeeley, who. on the 17th of May, went to
his reward. I trust this may be the means
of many of his large family laying np their
treasures in the treasure-house of God. Some
interest is manifested on the subject of relig
ion.
It has also been my privilege to unite two
couplee during the last month in the bonds
of wedlock. We are here reminded of your
advice to "Bishop Moeeley."
I would like to say, for the benefit of the
brethren throughout the State, that we were
greatly encouraged at the last meeting of the
State Board of Missions, and solicit the hear
ty co-operation of all. Fraternally,
C. C. Grkkn.
Madison, Fla., July 2, 1881.
Dkab Bbothkk: I preach at Pine Hill,
where brother L. J. Simmons labored many
years ago. He moved away, and the cause
went down. We have now over twenty
membersbaptised one there last Sunday,
and feel hopeful of a good work there. Will
protract from fourth Sabbath in July.
I notice, in the Florida Department of The
Index, some of onr Baptist bishops are being
treated to new suits, and lots of “ goodies,”
but this preacher, during twenty years’ labor,
never had a new hat, pair of boots or suit of
clothee given him by any member or mem
bers of bis congregations, but he did have a
nice set of flower vanes, for bis pulpit at Cen->
terville, given by one that was not a mem
ber of the church, but she has since followed
the Savior in baptism. I appreciate the gjft
because bf the love that prompted it.

Rbv. W. N. Chaudoin— Dear Brother; I
have thought for more than a year that I
would write you of pur "doings” in this part
of the moral vineyard but have neglected it
for two reasons, anything of interest has
rarely occurred, or when there did, I was so
pressed for time that I could not write. For
the futnre I will try to write up something
for onr Florida Department in the dear old
Index, for, indeed, from he appearance of
it sometimes, it seems as though Florida did
not appreciate your noble efforts to give us
a medium of communication in the Florida
Department, which I myself prize highly, as
it is the first thing I look for on receiving the
paper.
On the fifth Sunday in May we had a very
interesting Union Meeting at Harmony
church, Madison county. The subjects of
Missions, Sunday-schools and Ministerial
Education were discussed fully. Brother D
M. Walkler, who is a member of the Educa
tional Board of the State Convention, was
present, and made us an able and interesting
speech on education ?nd missions. Also
brother W. W. Campbell, a worthy young
brother, read an essay on missions, which
was an able paper, as it discussed the duty of
churches and individuals, in regard to the
all-important subject of spreading the "Glad
News.’ Rev. Mr. Bryant was with us, and
preached acceptably twice. I preached the
Missionary sermon on Sunday morning to a
large and attentive audience, from Matt. 18:
16, 19 and 20 verses, in which I tried to show
the wants of the world and the weakness of
the churches, and the reasons therefor. A
collection was taken, and the doors of the
church opened, and one joined by experi
ence; and on last Sunday 1 baptized the sis
ter, with two others, who joined subsequent
ly. The next Union will be held here at
Shady Grove.
Dear Brother, I cannot close without say- _
ing a word for our infant board. The or-'
ganization of that board has been the earnest
desire of my life, and I have prayed for it,
and I intend to work for it, and you shall
hear from me again, with something sub
stantial for it.
If agreeable, more soon from
J. II Wentworth.
Shady Grove, June 22, 1881.
BOARD MEETING
The Board of Missions held its second
meeting at Madison, in the office of C. W.
Stephens, Recording Secretary, on Monday
after the fourth Sunday i n June. The report
of the Corresponding Secretary and two mis
sionaries was received, and gave satisfaction
to the board. The receipts for the quarter
were sufficient to pay off the missionaries
and the Corresponding Secretary's traveling
and other expenses aid leave a few cents in
the treasury.
The brethren who made promises to raise,
or try to raise, certain sums for the board at
the Convention, are again urged to send us
a part of it, if possible, this quarter. Some
paid up all last quarter; others have made
no response. This quarter will be the trying
one. Do not, brethren, let the quarter close
and find us unable to pay our men. Let us
continue, as we have commenced, to be
prompt. We cannot pay much, but we do
much desire to be able to pay regularly and
promptly the little we do pay.
We made two more appointments upon
the faith that the respective Associations of
those brethren would send us funds to help
us pay the amounts.
Brethren, have you adopted the motto of (
our board? Read it: "We must all work -,
for onr State Board—write it up, talk it up, 1
pray it up."
Brother pastor, have you made a talk ye'
for the board? Do you pray for it in your
public devotions? i’iease have a special ;
prayer for us now and then. The board l
needs, and we really think they desire, your
prayers. Let us hear from you this quarter.
Send us something. After this we shall be
unable to appeal to you much, in person or
through the paper. We will be absent
awhile, soliciting help for church building,
as we have been requested to do, and as the
board approves of our doing.
“What are you going to do, brother?
Say, what are you going to do?"
God bless you, and put it into your heart
to say, "I must help some.” That will do
the work—that little word "must" is a pow
er when sanctified in the Christian's heart.
Our Master felt its power when doing what
He came to do for us. Let us catch it from
Him and say, "I must work the works of
Him that sent me."
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1881.
Again we say, God bless, oomfort and give
vou strength to do, to bear, to suffer, and
then take you “to reign with Christ.”

. LETTER FROM LITTLE RIVER.
My Deab Brother Chaudoin: The long
promised ■•squib’! for the Florida Department
of The Index Is now being penned to you.
The old Columbia Baptist Union held its last
session with Cypress Lake church on the fifth
Sabbath and Saturday before. Bethlehem,
Lake City, Mount Pleasant, Providence and
Pine Mount chuiches were represented, and
a good deal of interest was manifested in the
afternoon of Saturday In the discussion of old
Father Chambers' query, viz: “Did thedead
that Christ raised die any more ?” The dis
cussion was participated In by Bros, cham
bers, Rich. Richerson and the writer. Dlvlue
services were conducted by on Saturday a m.
by the writer, from the text, “In the day of
adversity consider.” Saturday night by
Father Chambers from the text, ‘ Come hither
and I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's
wife." On Sabbath, 11 a. m , by Bro. W. M.
Davis, of Lake City, from the (little and alm
ole as it may seem) text, “Grow.” Bls re
marks were directed to the little, dwarfish,
sickly and lazy Christians, and 1 assure you,
for the space of one hour they were fed on the
“sincere milk of the word" and zealously ad
monished to “grow In graceand In the knowl
edge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The writer
had the pleasure of concluding the services,
when he gave an invitation for prayer, and
many came forward that had been fed, that
seemed to be full to the brim. A missionary
collection was then taken up, amounting to
some lew dollars. The meeting was then dis
missed until Friday before the fifth Sabbath
In October. As there Is to be a Union Meet
ing of the ministers of Suwannee and Beulah
Associations held with Live Oak church on
the fifth Friday and Saturday befoie in July,
the Columbia Union passed over one stated
time for her ministers to attend the Live Oak
meeting We very much desire you to attend
this Live Oak meeting, and let us pray fer
vently that the love of God may reign su
premely in the heart of every minister that
may attend that they may successfully strike
hands across the little chasm that was made
last year by a little difference of opinion on
communion. From that cause I am persuaded
the Lord has partially removed his candle
stick from several churches of these two Asso
clatlons. "Return, oh Lord, how long? and
let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
Make us glad according to the days wherein
thou hast afflicted us, and let the beauty of
the Lord our God be upon us.” Such a prayer
Is my soul’s desire.
Bethlehem church, oneof those which I am
trying to serve as pastor, appeals to be in a
healthy condition—good attendance, with
congregation Increasing monthly. We pray
for a large Ingathering of souls there this
summer. Pine Mount church, another that
I serving as pastor and have been serving
since my ordination, (three years ago last
Babbath), Is In a prosperous condition. Re
ceived two members last Saturday and ex
pelled one. The church has set out now with
an earnest determination to build a good,
commodious house of worship, and we solicit
aid from every source, as we are all finan
cially poor.
I would be pleased to read more letters from
the brethren from the middle and western
portion of this State. I presume the churches
are lukewarm and the ministering brethren
Indifferent. To such I would say,
"Let Zion’s watchmen all awake
And take th' alarm they give/’
Let us Impress you, dear brethren, that our
solemn duty Is
"To watch for souls, for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego,
For souls which must forever live
In rapture orjn woe.”
Your brother in love to a dear Savior,
Root. F. Rogers'

Obituary,
KENNEDY—Mrs. C. Julia Kennedy, wife of J.
A. Kennedy, of Rockdale county, Ga., departed
this life the 29th day of June last, aged 35 years.
Sister Kennedy ioined the Baptist church very
young, at about 13 years of age. She was fond of
her meetings, and delighted to render friendly
acts to her pastor. Previous to her death she had
been a great sufferer for several months. But
those who constantly waited by her bedside, de
clare that they never saw one more patient and
resigned. She expressed herself as being ready
for death, and her only regret was, to leave be
hind her sorrowing husband and children. To
these she gave lingering embraces and a loving
farewell. She leL three children on this side of
the river, two had already preceded her. But
she has left us. Weeping husband and mother
less children, let the sweet assurance that God
"doeth all things well" afford you consolation
That you may all meet In one unbroken circle
around God’s throne lithe earnest prayer of your
sympathizing friend. J. M. B.

Richmond Female Institute, Richmond, Va
I —ln another column may be seen the adverq
tlsement or this well known mstlution. At
no time, tn its history, has it done grander
work than it Is now doing. Its largely in
creased patronage, year by year, show the es
timation in which It'is held by the people of
the South. From "Woman's Word.,’’ publish
ed at pbliadelpl.l* we copy.a sketch of this
school and Its accomplished principal: The
South has been specially fortunate, we think,
in regard to ita teachers, although their num
ber could be largely Increased with manifest
leuefit. Among these we deem especially
noteworthy'ls the Principal ol the Richmond
Female Institute, Richmond, Virginia, Miss
Bailey B. Hamner.
Miss Hamner was born near Lynchburg.
Va,and was lhere educated by her father;
Rev John 0. Hamner,one o' thenrost scholar
ly men of his day. The eduction of bls
daughter was the one great, alm or his life,
and w»s begun in her fourth year. During
the entire training cf her mind not a lesson
was learned or recited except under his per
sonal supervision ; and her naturally gifted
mind gradually developed under his watch
ful care
He believed the mind of woman capable of
grasping the profoundest truths, and of com
prehending any subject; hence be Instructed
bis daughter, not only in the ancient and
modern languages, but in philosophy, logic
and mathematics, making her the equal of
almost any scholar in the land.
While her mind, however, was being stored
with this solid foundation, the fine arts were
not neglected, in art, in music, and as a clear
and vigorous writer she excelled ; but it is not
given, in the limitation which must necessa
rily attend all human effort, to be great in all
things;' hence it is perhaps as an educator
and Instructor ot the youthful minds of her
sex that she is best known.
A few years after the close of the war, find
ing the great need of educators who were
thoroughly fitted tor their work, she at once
took her place among those of the South, who
have done so much for the education ant
elevation of the women of their section.
She will be remember, d In the South and
West as being one of the most faithful and
zealous who have dignified the profession.
A direct descendant of Roger Williams, like
him she clings tenaciously to her principles;
and her life is one grand picture of “ faith
and works.” As principal ofthe leading ed
ucational institution in that beautiful city ot
her native State, surrounded by a large circle
of Irlends ; sbe is bending every energy of her
nature 'o uphold the grand old school and fit
young girls io meet the conflicts of life. And
well may not only Virginia but the South be
proud to claim her, and as she is yet com
paratively young, they may look for wand to
even greater things at her bands.
A Richmond correspondent says, “Her ex
ecutive ability is almost wonderful. She re
minds me of a Nepoeon in the ease with
which she dispatches business; and though
this would suggest some masculine traits, I
And her intensely womanly, charitable, ieu
derand sympathetic. In acts of benevolence,
she is first; if sickness is in our midst, do
hand is more ready to relieve ; and so are
blended the traits that make up the most
symmetrical character I have ever known.”
The institution, over which .Mss Hamner
presides, enjoys that liberal share of patronage
that only the very best school can attain.
Located, as it is in a city of rare heal thfumess
and beauty, among a people noted for their
refinement and hospitality, it presents advan
tages for the ed ucatlon of young lad les deserv
ing of the highest commendation. Miss
Hamner makes the health of her pupils her
special care, and it is a remarkable fact that
during the many years in the history of the
institute, there has never occurred a death or
a case of serious Illness in the establishment,
even when there have been at times two
hundred and fifty pupils on the rolls
It
We have the pleasure of calling the atten
tion of our readers to the well-known distin
guished "Hellmuth Ladies’ College,” located
in London, Canada, ot which H. R H. Prin
cess Louise is patroness. This is a guarantee
of the intrinsic merits of the coll ge, and an
assurance to the public that their daughters
will be uuder the supervision ot the very
highest possible influences; moral!y, socially,
intellectually and physically. The sanitary
surroundings are unsurpassed on this conti
nent. The prominent feature ot this college
is the building up of a beautiful symmetrical
womanhood, by a thorough discipline aud
culture of ad iter faculties: subordinating the
merely ornamental to the practical, useful
and, substantial; fitting her for that promi
nent and influential position In society God
and Nature intended she should occupy.
Great attention la paid to practical Domestic
Economy, so essential to domestic happiness.
By all means send for circular for detailed
information of a college that has no superior.

THB CALVARY SELECTION.
“I have examined every hymn-book published
within ten years for use in Baptist churches. In
hymns, music, and adaptation, for my taste, Cal
vary Selection leads the host—leads a good way
ai'ead.”— Rev. T. Edwin Brown, D,D., Rochester,
New York. “My impression is that those churches
which fail to Introduce It will make a great mis
take.”— Rev. J. C. Nobles, Chester, Ct. "I have ex
amlned it carefully, and am more than pleased:
was particularly struck with the perfect adapta
tion of music with the sentiment of the words."
—J. A. Yancey, Richmond, Ya., Slay 12,1881.
