8 Florida Department. W. I- OHAUDOIH, Oorreaponding Editor and Agent- Office at Cleaveland A Bona’ Furniture Store, Weal Bay street. JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. FLORIDA FACTS, FANCIES AND FIGURES. -Pray for the Index editors. —Pray for your pastor, and pay him too. —Pray for your Sunday-school and help H. —Pray for the State, Homo, and Foreign Board of Minions. —Pray for your church, and try to do more for it, and so help to answer your prayers. —•'l like your paper ▼fry well, but I am not able to subscribe for it any longer." That is the answer to one "dun," as some call them. Here is another: "Brother C. 1 regret that I have got so poor that I can't take your good and interesting paper." Here is still another: “Dear brother—l am very sorry that I gave you cause to write to me concerning The Index, (that much loved paper). lam too poor in this world's goods to take any paper, but it is such a comfort we have made sacrifice for its sake and our own. lam very, very glad you were so kind as to remind me of my duty.” That sounds like the talk of an Edwards and a Christian. "Should like a month’s rest, but race horses.—not dray-horses,—get the rests." Now you want to know who said that. Well, we are not going to tell you, for you would then call him “(Day-horse" all the time. It was not Peter Grubbs, though. —"My motto, dear brother, as a stranger in a strange land is, ‘to know nothing but Christ and him crucified,’ among the people, native, and Northern, and foreign." So writes a minister recently from New York, who is doing a good work. —"What do you think of a member of a church who is absent at least two thirds of the time, and when asked by a n ember why he did not attend, replied, ‘because a certain brother asked him for money for some pur poses of the church every time he went?’’’ Our opinion is that that brother ought to be prayed for and instructed, and if he does not do better, open the door and let him out, that he may go to the anti missionaries. —We are glad to know that our selection of a chandelier and banging (pulpit) lamp, for the church at Micanopy, gave satisfac tion. We can recommend all who desire anything in that line, to F. W. Mumby & Co., of our place. We are ready to serve others In making selections for them of chandeliers or lamps for their churches. —The following we take from a letter we received from that old soldier, now almost done working, Elder K. Chambers, It touches—it moves us : “1 am feeble. I got overheated two days by plowing too late in the hot sun. ... I have no one to work only as I hire, and I have five in family be sides three little orphan grand-children. . . I want to go out into the vineyard of the Lord to work when my crop is over. I in tend, when I die, to be missed." —Sister Janie Borders sends usfivedollars for missions, and made the money thus: “Three years ago I planted some orange seed, and promised to give to the Lord the tenth part, like they did in old times. I cultivated them myself, and this spring sold the trees, and as soon as I received the money, I sent this to you.” An orphan child did that! A female, too 1 No one need tell us they can’t do anything for missions. —“ I hope to be able to send, at some fu ture time, something for your 'lndex Fund,’ for I love the paper, its editorsand contribu tors, and I want everybody to read it.” Thank you, young sister. —"Pine Mount church is in a prosperous condition, and intends to build a comforta ble house for worship soon. The cause of religion generally, in this section, is cold— so many drones in the church. “R. F. Rogers. “Little River, July 15th. —“Dear Brother C: Our dear brother Geiger, at Cedar Keys, lias left us for bis home in heaven. Oh I how snd our be reavement. Our devoted, much loved broth er has gone only a few days after our dear sister Edwards died. Our little church at Cedar Keys is almost paralyzed with sorrow and discouragement, for this brother and sister were pillars. G. W. Hall. “Melrose, July 13th, 1881,” But what an inheritance left to that little band in so short a time, in the lives of Ever ett, Geiger and sister Edwards ! How inspir ing and encouraging the memory of such ! Brethren, look up. and try to live and die as they did. Jesus has taken them, and He can raise up others in their places. “ Gath ering home, gathering home.” —“Bev. W. N. Chaudoin, of Jacksonville, President of the Baptist State Convention, and Corresponding Secretary of State Mis sionary Board, accompanied by Rev. J. F. Mays, also of Jacksonville, visited Apopka City Saturday last, remaining over until Monday afternoon. They both entertained our people with sermons, delivered in the new Baptist church, and notonly entertained them, but instructed and blessed them with the good things of the gospel. They suc ceeded in raising some money, we do not know how much.” The above kind notice, copied from the “Citizen,” of Apopka, is, with these few words, all perhaps we will have to say about our exceedingly enjoyable visit. Only the absence of their beloved pastor, on account of the illness of bis wife, detracted from the visit. The new church edifice will stand as monument to good judgment and taste of the brethren and architect or builder, be trust to be able to collect some funds to help them in their noble work that is taxing tbem severely. That accounts for our being so pressed for time. —Elder G. C. Powell, who was very ill at brother Driggers, Longwood, has recovered so far as to be able to go to Lake Harney. —We regret to learn that our beloved pastor, Dr. Mays, has bad another severe attack of asthma and congestion of the lungs accompanied it, but he is improving. The Lord spare the good man, and let our breth ren say amen 1 —Rev. H. B. McCallum, editor of this paper, came down town again yesterday. Mr. McCallum has been confined to his bouse for several months, but has so far re covered as to venture out occasionally.— Daily Union. Not a few whose eyes will fall on the above will spontaneously send up ahearty “thank God.” Would you like to see a little editor agent rather look happy 1 When we got a Key West letter the other day with $lO 00 for Th« Index, and two each with $2 00 for missions, we felt like a" big sun flower.” We did not look pretty, but better.

July 14 Ina. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1881. SCOTTSVILLE. Dear Uncle Joab : I promised to tell you about our pastor-to give you a sketch of his life and character. From him 1 learn the particulars to which I shall now give expres sion. RufUs Corban Is the oldest child of Susan and John Corban, who are descendants of an old Scotch family, who, years ago. when the West was all pioneer country, migrated to Kentucky, where Rnfus was born, reared and educated. Much to the surprise and chagrin ot bls oarents, Rufus, after having received his education, which specially looked to the ministry, for they, from thebeginning, had consecrated him to the Lord to be one who should go In and out before the people to pro claim the tenets of the Presbyterian faith, re nounced the faith of his parentsand became a Baptist. Feeling called of God to the work of the ministry, the young man, after much earnest struggle, laid hlmselfandall upon the altar. It would do you good to bear the dear old man tell of the great struggle through which be passed on the night when faith triumphed and he was enabled to say, “Here am I,send me." Knowing well the 'horoughneas of their son’s character, bls good parents, after re monstrating, submitted to his wish, and, all together kneeling, gave the young man up freely to the work to which he felt himself called. He Is unflinching in bls adhesion to duty. “When duly calls or danger threatens" then he Is never wanting. He esteems not even bls life dear lor Christ Jesus his Lord who loved him so. He entered the ministry In Kentucky, where he labored with zeal and success until bis de cline In health forced bls removal to Florida. He has been serving the weak churches, and untiringly laboring tor the Master ever since he came here. Being a pioneer preacher, he Is thoroughly acquainted with pioneer life and its discouraging and encouraging feat ures. He la, In his general make-up, very much like cousin Joe Stokes, and in his face and manners, like Uncle Sam Kipps. He posses ses all the qualifications of a good preacher and pastor. Deeply pious, eminently practi cal In hl« preaching, logical In thought and learned la the Bible and theology. But It makes me sad every time 1 hear him; his voice is so weak, and such an effort for him to preach. But at times he overcomes that weakness and soars to heights of eloquence rarely excelled. Nature and grace have made him a man, but disease has sorely circum scribed him. If Judged according to that law by which some people judge greatness, he would be very email, for some people think be cause a preacher has a “big voice” he Is a big man, and If bls voice is poor, be Is no man al all. Buch ought to studv Paul. When he turns his attention to. and Axes bls thought upon, a theme, one may rest assured that what lie has to say Is worthy of attention. He la so modest and retiring : does not often go from home: seldom attends great gathering!. What a pity 1 He is sueb a good man. As pastor he tries very hard to please us all. He has a long dis tance to ride to get to us, but just as surely as Friday morning comes, just so sure Is the coming of our pastor. He Is nearly always on time, and comes at Just the same gait— riding the same black mule: goes to deacon Scotts and puts up bls mule, gets his big cup of coffee aud a little something to eat, and then off he goes to see everybody in the town. The people here do not half way appreciate him ; If they do they have such a poor way .of manifesting it. I will relate an incident to show what 1 mean: Last Saturday afternoon J was sitting on my front porch enjoying the delightful fragrance of the flowers and the songs of the mocking birds that are hatching In our shade-trees, and awaiting the coming of our pastor, when 1 heard a shrill cry which came from a neighbor’s house some hundred yards distant >t was the cry of a woman, who said : “It Is a good thing you came here to-day, for If you had not 1 was going to get really mad with you I You hardly ever come to see me; you go to see everybody else but me; yon always put me off till last, aud when you do do come you don’t stay but five minutes; but you can go to Mr. Jones’s and stay two hours 1 I know why it Is; you thluk they are rich and I am poor. I watch you; you need not think I don’t I You can stay all night at Scotts, but you never stay with us!" She had agooddeal moretosay. Ah, thought 1, “Wnat silly mortals some men be I” How injudiciously some people use their tongues I Really, my curiosity got the betterof me, and I had to Jump up to see whom she was abus ing at such rates. Just then 1 saw the man of God ascend the porch steps and extend bls cruel hostess his hand. She ought to have known that she was telling a falsehood. 1 have repeatedly noticed that he almost Inva riably stays there thirty minutes, Just about the same length of time he stays everywhere else. I could not understand this speech, sol made it my busluess to ask him, when he came, what she meant. “Ab,” said he, at the same time heaving a sigh, “I do not know what to do with the dear soul. She quarrels with me every time I go there, and every time I leave. She is ever talking about how the Baptists slight her because sue is poor—she Is sick and none ever go—she Is troubled and none ever come;—this one hasdoneso-and-so and so-on. It is disagreeable to me to go there. It hurts me, yet I cannot stop going.” Now, Uncle Joab, If I did not know the wo man I would believe her to be a regular vix en. It Is only away she has. This I told my pastor, and much more which encouraged and cheered him. I told him she did not mean It—that she adored him almost—that she resents with zeal every effort from an other which underrates her pastor; she says what she feels like to him,but she allows none to talk about him to her,—lf she hears aught against him she does all In her power to silence the talk. Don’t you think this a bad way for one to do? I have made up my mind to talk with her on this way of doing, and to do my best to Influence her to stop It. I know she will -when she hears that It Isa source of grief to him. If I were a pastor, I certainly would not call often to see peopleof this class. Next Sunday we will hold our first Sunday prayer-meeting. This is the outgrowth of some of my efforts. The brethren all say I must always lead, and they glvemethe privi lege of reading them a sermon, or making a talk. Don’t you think this a good Idea? Much better to go to our own church and try to worship God than to stay at home and do nothing. All promise to attend. I have It In mind to write a sermon or lecture on "The duty of church-members to their pastor” to read to them at one ot our gatherings. Do you think It would be a good Idea? It will probably have more effect coming from me, a layman. After 1 have written it I will send it to you for your approbation and criticism. But I must close. Give our love to Aunt Bat tle.
