Motto for Florida Baptists : "We must all work for our State Board—write it up, talk it up. pray it up.” FLORIDA FACTS, FANCIES AND FIGURES. —“At our last conference weexchtded one and preferred charges against two.” Good ! Turn out the other two drunkards and the wagon will run easier. —“I will talk, think and pray, and beg for our young board.” Thanks, dear sister, and the Lord make you successful. —Short Sermon. —Teat: Some of our S-eachers say the Southern Baptist Con ven on is a downright swindle. 1. Buch preachers make themselves appear very ridiculous. Illustrate: They resemble blind people criticising colors; or, a man declaring others have no money because he baa none. They are like people abusing Masonry when they know nothing about it. Thiy resemble little dogs barking at the moon. How ludicrous 1 2. Such preachers are very wicked in say ing such things ; because, (1), they are false accusers of their brethren ; (2) they are act ing with the wicked. See 3 Jahn 9. 10, 11, or the whole letter; (3) they are fighting against God, Christ, the Bible, missionary work, etc., etc- APPLICATION. 1. Let all large-hearted missionary Chris tians pray for such little, envious Christians. 2. Let all pray for the churches that are led hy such preachers. ‘ The leaders of the people do cause them to err.” —Not long since we published a short sketch of Rev. Daniel Edwards, deceased, and now we have news of the reeent death of his grandson, Daniel J. Edwards, at the house of bis father, in Marion county; aged eighteen years and some months. His death was trustful, calm, triumphant. He had not united with the church, but had made up his mind fully to do so just on the eve of being taken ill. He loved the Sunday school. and in it he received his first im pression, and died praying for his compan ions and school. He told bis mother that he felt that his sins were forgiven, and, being told that bis father had gone fora physician, said : “Jesus is my physician.” Before his death he called around him his little broth ers and sisters and exhorted them to be good children, and to be punctual at Sunday school. To his mother he said: “My pros pects for the future are bright. I will soon join my little sister and grand father in the glory-world.” Said to his father: “You know you have neglected your religious du ties, father,” and made bis last prayer for his father with his aims around his neck. What an encouragement to parents, to young people, to Sunday-school workers! God bless the glorious death to the good of all his friends and relatives. —The Florida Institute, located at Live Oak, will be opened for students of both sexes from fourteen years old upwards, on Mon day. October 3d, 1881. Tuition 25 cents per week, payable monthly in advance. Board in good families at $1.25 to $1.50 per week.

For further information address the principal, Rev. J. L. A. Fish, Live Oak, Florida. —We feel very pleasant. Who would not after opening letters such as we have. Here is one with $5 00 for missions; another with money to pay a brother's subscription for three years and a-half; another with money for three new names; one with a dollar for missions and a new subscriber; and still another from our precious little friend, Ear nest Crumpton. Thanks to you all. —The next Convention will be at Ocala. Begin at once to think, pray and work for it, and try to go. —Another contribution to our “Index Fund." We trust that others will help in this good work. —We rejoice to be able to inform the brethren—and we know they will be rejoiced —to learn that brother McCallum is in better health than he was some months ago, though he is quite feeble. He does a vast amount of work for a man in bis condition. —We hope some one who sees them after reading this, will tender our good wishes to our friend Hendry, at LaGrange, and his bride. They have both done well. —We shall be out of the State a few weeks, mainly to solicit some help in the work of building meeting-houses. Our mail will be promptly attended to, and we beg the breth ren to write us, as usual to Jacksonville. CORRESPONDENCE. Editor Index : Dear brother.—Rev. W. N. Chaudoin, our beloved editor of the Florida Department of your valuable and much esteemed paper, deserves some mention of the mcst valuable service he has rendered the cause of Christ and the intere-t of the Lord's Zion in our State. Ourdenomination in the State is increasing in efficiency through bis untiring and self sacrificing labors as he travels from town to town, and from county to county, and from church to church, en couraging our pastors and indoctrinating our church-members. A number of churches that could be mentioned, pay their pastors more and contribute more for missions since “Uncle Shad” paid them that visit and preached his soul stirring sermons on "Help ing the Truth ” and “Working for Jesus,” etc. Our preachers and pastors, for the most part, neglect to instruct the member ship of their churches in the duty of giving, ana heretofore many churches paid their pastors only a small pittance, and gave noth ing for missions, but thanks and praise to our Heavenly Father there is much im provement in this respect, mainly through tbe efforts of our dear brother Chaudoin. I know of no man anywhere in Florida who is doing the good be is doing. Eternity only, when every man’s work will be tried, and tbe good they have done for the Master made gloriously manifest, will show what he has done for Florida. May the Lord of the Har vest spare him long to labor among us. As a specimen of wnat brother Chaudoin is doing, I will relate the following: Last Fri day, the Ist inst., was appointed to begin a three days’ meeting at Spring Hill, near Ocala, in Marion county. The first day brother Chaudoin did not arrive; we knew that something bad absolutely prevented his THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1881. coming. Sure enough he came on the train that evening, so weak from sickness that be could scarcely walk, but after resting for the night, he preached the next day and assisted in the organization of a church. And on Bunday, the next day, he preached the ser mon and delivered charge to the candidate in therrdinationof brother J. W. Deveneau, recently of Cartersville, Ga., and part of the charge upon this occasion, if heeded, would very much benefit a good many preachers that could be mentioned. It was substanti ally as follows: “Beware of hobbies; don’t make a hobby of baptism or election, or such like subjects. There is one thing of which we can make a hobby and be safe, that is the Cross; it is the only thing. We may preach the same thing to our churches, giving them the same food every time, instead of ‘declar ing all the counsel of God,’ until their souls will be weak and sickly, like the inhabitants of a certain healthy, pure, salubrious section of one of our States where people look paie cadaverous and sickly, notwithstanding tße healthfulnees and purity of their atmos phere, because they eat corn-bread and fried bacon three times a day for three hundred and sixty five days of the year. How much better to have a variety of food for the body How much better to rightly divide the word of God, giving each their portion in due season,” G. W. Hall. P. B.—Brother Cbaudoin knows nothing of my writing theabove. PleasepubPsh the same in the Florida Department of The Index. G. W. H. Melrose, Fla., July 6, 1881. CHURCH NEWS. Deab Brother Chaudoin: Last Sunday we held our first service in our new house It is not finished,but sufficiently so to permit our holding service in it. Henceforth w< will have service two Sabbaths in each month. A gentleman living in the town had been intending to join our church at the first ser vice in our new building, and had been waiting for this for months. When the Sabbath arrived, be was in bed sick with measles, and could not be present at theser vice. Yesterday I buried him,—not in the baptismal waters,- but in our cemetery 1 Oh, how uncertain is life! Duties postponed are often duties never performed. This friend was the half brother of our Rev. G. W. Hall. He leaves a young widow whom he led to the bridal altar about five months ago. Fraternally, N. A. Bailey. Micanopy, Fla., July 6,1881. CANVASSING BOOKS.
