Theological Seminary. Motto for Florida Baptista; f, We must all work for our State Board—write it up, talk it up, pray it up.” 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. A. M. Mannino. June 30. 1881. 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.” W. N. Chaudoin, * Cor. Sec’y and Treasurer. PROCEEDINGS OF SOUTH FLORIDA UNION. The Union met with Turkey Creek church on Friday before the'fifth Sunday in May, 1881.

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' Suwannee County, Fla. 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. Covington, Ga., July 12, 1881. 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.
