FROM THE CHURCHES—LAKE KERR.
DiabßrothkrChaudoiw: We had a good
time at Lake Keer church at our last ap
pointment. Six members received—three
by letter and two for baptism, and one
backslider reclaimed Thechurchisrevived,
the pastor comforted, and both rejoice to
Esther. The congregation met on Sunday,
aving previously, but privately, arranged
the programme for the day as follows: Sub
bath-school, then preaching, and an inter
mission for ref-eenmenta, and preaching
again, putting their pastor (as they termed
it) "upon double duty," but he did not
murmur nor complain, seeing the unusually
cheerful faces of the congregation which, in
thL case, seemed to foreshadow good things
“to come," which did come in the box not
being large enough to hold all. Fathers and
mothers were followed by tbeir sons and
daughters, even to the youngest, anddepoei
ted their contributions for the pastor.
But the box not being able to conttin all,
the good things were placed nearby, articles
of merchandise and of home-make, new and
beautiful, for the comfort of both the outer
and inner man.
Now, my brother, this put a feeling on me,
I must confess, that was—well, I somehow
liked it, and I do yet, and I believe there are
many other pastors who would not mind
having a little of the same kind of feeling
put upon them.
Now, if there is any church which thinks
her pastor would mind a little of this feel
ing put upon them, let her just try it and
see. Yours in Christ,
J. P Parker.
June 28th, 1881.
Note —There is not a church in Florida
but can do something for its pastor if it will
try. Lake Kerr is a small and weak church.
How many poor, hard worked, anxious pas
tors need to have some of brother Parker’s
feeling “put upon them.” Yes, they and
their families could bear quite a good bit of
it, and it would not be dangerous. Some of
them know so little of it they might faint,
but a little camphor or a gourd of water
would soon relieve them. —Ed.
The few members of what is known here
as the First Baptist church of Starke, Fiori'
da, have a lot 100x200 feet on which we
want to erect » house of worship 36x50 feet,
but have no means I have tried every
means to raise the money to build without
asking brethren at a distance for help. I
have spent the ministerial part of my life in
preaching to the poor, and raising and
organizing churches at points where they
appeared most needed and this is the first
time that I have ever asked help from others
outside of the community, and I think it
likely to be the last, as I am now sixty
seven years old. I have been preaching here
for five years without salary of any kind
Starke is on the Transit railroad, about mid
way between the Atlantic east and Gulf of
Mexico west, and is noted for healthfulness
It is one of the stopping places for invalids
coming to Florida to regain health. We
have been all the time compelled to worship
in a school-house. Those poor, suffering
ones have often said to me, ”Mr. Keith, if
you will only inform our people they will
send you help to build.” Therefore, will
you ask your Baptist exchanges North and
West to copy this, so that the Baptists in
every section may have a chance to help us
make tbeir sick, as well as all others, com
sortable during their stay with us? Every
dollar sent to Robert Keith, pastor of tbe
Fust Baptist churcb at Starke, Florida, will
be thankfully received and receipted for by
return card, and faithfully applied to the
building. Robert Keith.

FROM A YOUNG MISSIONARY.
Dear Uncle Shad; I am a little boy
just nine years old. I can’t write well, but
thought I would try to write a little, and
send you a small contribution. Papa and
sister Phenie are gone to Fellowship. I've
been pulling some fodder for papa since he
left, and mamma gave me this money to
send to you. Sister got a letter from Uncle
Hall, saying be was coming to see us. We
were glad to hear this. You must come,
too. We have no Sunday-school, but have
a weekly prayer-meeting. Mine and sister
Hattie’s love to Aunt Carrie and yourself.
Your little nephew,
Ernest Crumpton.
Williston, Fla.
Note. —We appreciate the above letter.
We are proud of our nephew. The Lord
make him a good Baptist preacher—a hard
worker, like his father. Write again.
Uncle Shad.
FROMSHADY GROVE.
Dear Brother Chaudoin :—I told you in
my last that we were to have our next
Union at Shady Grove, and that I would
write yon again. Now, in fulfilment of that
promise, I drop you tbe news from our meet
ing, which came off the fifth Sunday and
Saturday before in July. The Lord blessed
us by permitting a larger representation of
the churches than usual, as nine churches
were represented. We organized the union
by the re-election of brother W. B. Tedder
as Moderator, and brother W. W. Campbell
as clerk. I never was in a better union
meeting, for all the brethren seemed to be
awake, and desirous of advancing the cause
of the Master. We discussed the usual ques
tions of missions, Sunday-schools, and min
isterial education. Rev. J. W. Faulkner was
with ns and be preached the missionary
sermon on Sunday to a very large and at
tentive audience. It was an excellent dis
course. At the close of our union there ap
peared to be so much warmth and feeling
among the brethren, that I, as pastor of the
church, proposed to protract the meeting,
which we did, and as a result, we had a
gracious outpouring of the Spirit, and ten
additions to the church. So, you see, my
dear brother, that at each of our union meet
ings we are met by the Lord, and our souls
revived and sinners aroused to action in tbe
interest of theirsoula’ welfare- I would be
glad in this connection, to give a brief his
tory of Shady Grove church, which, although
young in years, has a big history, but space
forbids it, au i I reserve it for a future com
munication. From Shady Grove Union 1
went to Pleasant Grove church to fill my
regular appointment, and there my soul
was made again to rejoice in the Lord, for
we had quite a revival, and seven were added
to the church. Such (as I trust) will be
saved.
There is an interest being awaked in our
infant Board, and it will e tangible before
long. Our people are poor, and al) farmers,
and hence don’t have any money .only when
King Cotton makes his appearance, and our
next Association is to be held at Perry, Tav
lor county, and I think then our Board will
be remembered liberally, as I ha\e several
pledges to be redeemed then. In the mean
time I talk Board, preach Board and pray
Board, which I know will bring forth fruit.
And I can’t refrain right here from saying a
word for brother D. M. Walker, who is a
member of the Board, and I know is the
right man in the right place, for he is zeal
ous, but discreet, and I know it would do
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1881.
your heart good to see him and hear him
talk for the cause of our infant Board. He
has alwavs prided himself on being a pri
vate in the rear rank, but he cannot boast
of that any longer, for his church at its last
meeting unanimously elected him to the
deacon's office, to which he will be ordained
on next third Sunday, and I don't think it
will be long before he will be asked to go
up higher. Would to God we had many
more like him.
Now, my dear brother, I can t close with
out saying a word for you, Your labor on
The Index is appreciated, and you seem
likeoteofus and I can find no one but
that loves Uncle Shad. They that know
you, love you, and they that don't know
you, want to know you And, ray brother,
you don’t know the prayers that.go up daily
for the physically feeble Florida editor.
May the good Lord spare you long to us
that we, by your precepts and example,may
have a spirit ot emulation stirred up in us to
go and do likewise, is the earnest prayer of
your brother in Christ.
James H. Westworth
Shady Grove. Fla., Aug 9th, 1881.
SCOTTSVILLE.
Dear Uncle Joab: Since you asked it I’ll
tell you about the leading members of our
church, Really I hardly know with whom
or how to begin. But with a son of Erin, 111
say “Wadeinlemonslfyoudogetsqueezed.”
1 am almost ashamed to write their charac
ters fully, but since they are like men in
most communities I’ll write anyhow and
then you can see what sort of material is
found here. We have, leaving out Peter,
only ten male members: so I II tell of each.
There Is Brother Jones—he Is a hard work
ing man, really aslave to his family. If any
other man had gone through what he has
had to endure he would have died of the ef
fects long ago But still he Ilves. It is gener
ally conceeded that he has not too much re
ligion but has quantities of sectui lanlsm,
enough for several. He never comes to
church unless he hears that somebody is go
ing to be -baptized,’’ or the preacher Is going
to preach a doctrinal sermon, (by doctrinal
sermon be means a sermon on baptism) then
he is sure to be there In all “bls glory.' He
Is noted as being a -walking encyclopedia of
excuses.” He has an excuse for every Sun
day in the year, and one for every meeting
day to Justify hlsabsence. Astocliurch meet
ings, he says he could do nothing It he were
logo. Others can do all that. Heis very fond
ot talking about the "Babtis” church, and
thinks Heaven is made for Baptists. He
never was at Sunday-school but once and
that was when one of the pupils died. Heis
a great believer In Sunday schools, and talks
largely of what he “used iodo ’ before he had
the "new mony" and had to come to Florida.
He says lie would go now, If he could sing,
but he has not been able to sing since lie had
the "new-mony.” ...
He has one redeeming feature however, he
always stays at home and lets his wife and
children go to church and school, he then
minds the babies and keeps house- Is It not
sad to think, dear Uncle, how great a burden
the dear little ones have to bear ? It is a won
der that many of the dear little creatures
don’t die ol their great burdens.
Then there is Brother Stubbs. He Is recog
nized by the community, and all who know
him,as the very- best of men—"the very salt,
—lie is ever In his place. Always ready to
do any and everything be can to help the
cause. Is poor and has to work very hard
forallving. Has a noble and stirring w’lfe, a
devoted and godly family,nearly all of whom
are professors ol religion. Brother 8. Is one
of those clear headed, far seeing, prudent
men—one upon whom you can rely. Are
any suffering be helps, sick,he visits them as
far as possible, needy, he relieves as far as he
can. He is liberal, gives to the Lord s cause
until he feels it. To him his church Is dear and
the religion of Christ precious. He Is a pil
lar. In the business meetings be Is practical
—says little, but when he speaks it is right
to the point. He Is now growing old and not
so helpful and active in the meetings as
when younger. How sad it Is! men will
grow old. , ,
Brother Morgan Is a young man—full of
life and fun, has a good time with the young
people, but his Christian character is un
spotted. He Is zealous and active In the
ciiurcb’s work. His zeal often causes him io
be misunderstood. The captious find fault
with him. Ever willing and ready to do
what he can. He has however one great
blemish, he puts off some matters too much ;
Is fearfully lacking In promptness and lets
his zeal lead him into error But he is an In
dispensable part of the church.
Next comes Brother .Mcgs— Quiet, steady-, say
little, do little man, came Into the church in
middle age. Timid as a hare—retiring as
a mole. Not a worker, and only a sort of
helper. He belongs to thatclass which seems
to be fitted for nothing in particular but to
adorn the doctrine "by a meek and quiet life.”
If he had a better wife he might be a better
man. She is no helper. He needs much en
couragement. He Is like a bean vine, does
very well when be has a poleVir prop. Can’t
some remedy be invented for this bean vine
set 1 .
Brother Miller Is the necessary appendage
to every church- He is a refined, polished
Christian gentleman—com tly In Ills manners.
Makes no fuss about his religion. He Is en
dowed with a peculiar tact tor drawing men
out ■ takes the negatlvesldeof mo-tquestlons
and thus makes nis opponent look at all
sides of a question Heis faithful to all the
enterprises ol the church, stands by his pas
tor, gives, talks, works—a business man, a
man ot ways and means, an organizer.
Brother Stevens Is noted for more things than
his religion. His morals are not good—his
tongue Is corrupt—his breath often impure
and his steps unsteady. He promises, but
does not perform. He does not adorn the
doctrine and should be dealt with.
There are several others who are not at all
prominent, then I will not write about them
as they art Just like a great number who bear
the name of Christ but not his cross nor char
acter. They love the world and Its vanities
You must excuse me for saying nothing
about the female portion. There are here
some noble women who work lor the Lord;
there are some who use their tongues too
much ; some have light feet, light heads,
light hearts, light crosses, light Ideas— veiled in
light.
I suppose you saw the comet ? We all saw
It and Bet says every time she looks at It, it
makes her think of people who talk too much.
If you thick you can see the reason
We are all well except that I have a sore
foot, Johnnie has sore eyes and Bettie has the
tootache. Your Nephew,
Petek Grubbs.
REVIVAL MEETINGS, ETC.
Dear Brother Chaudoin :—Our last meet
ing at Fort McCoy was one of great interest
After four happy brethren were buried with
Christ in baptism, at ten o'clock, a m. Sun
day 21st, I tried to preach on the design and
symbolism of baptism, which seemed to in
terest the members of the church very
much. Some of them had never heard a
sermon on the subject before, others said
that they never understood the meaning or
design of baptism before.
One encouraging incident to the pastor
occurred at thie meeting A brother came
up and paid his subscription, and as much
more, paying twice as much as he subscribed
for pastoral service, and he did this volunta
rily—the first instance of this kind I ever
knew.
Paran church, Putnam county, has recent
ly had a season of spiritual refreshing, in a
series of meetings, closing last Su day, in
which the pastor brother B. W Becks, was
assisted by brother Willis, of Peniel, and
the writer. The church was greatly revived
and five were baptized, and one was res*
tored.
An appropriation has been made by the
four counties that corner at Melrose, viz:
Putnam, Alachua, Bradford and Clay, to
establish a school of high grade. This is a
step in the right direction; for a more
healthy, pleasant and beautiful location
could not be found easily in the State, and I
do not think the day is far distant when »e
will have a college here.
Tell brother Peter Grubbs that we enj >y
reading bis letters very much, and hope he
will write frequently. Affectionately yours,
G. W. Hall.
REMARKS.
There should be more sermons preached
than are, on the design and symbolism of
baptism. Not in a fighting spirit, but just
as we would explain any scripture, or preach
on any u scon trover! ed subject. Our people
need it. Many Baptists do not know w‘ at
immersion means or teaches. The sermon
of Dr. Tucker ought to be read by every
pastor till he becomes familiar with it, and
then read on Bunday morning to every one
of his churches. We mean that sermon on
“The true position of Baptism in the Cbri<-
tian System " It has no equal, as all adm”
There is nothing like it. Peter Grubbs will
be beard from oltener hereafter, we hope.—

ORANGE CREEK UNION.
From Citra, Marion county, Florid-,
brother James A. Carlton writes that t e
union met with Fort McCoy church, ai d
he was elected Clerk and Elder W. T. Car -
ton, who preached the opening sermon, wrs
re elected Moderator. Three churches on y
were represented. Brethren Durisoe ai d
McDonald were correspondents Irom O.:ln
wahachurch.and Springhill church, through
its delegate, Rev. J. W. Deveneau. was, on
application, received into the Union. A
missionary collection of eight dollars ano
four cents was taken on Sunday, and I wis
handed ten dollars for Citra church, both
sums for Associations! missions. Cit™
church was received into the Union t' r 1 g
brother Hobkirk. A committee appointed
for the purpose offered the following pre
amble and resolutions, for the organizsiimi
of an annual mee.itg of the Northeastern
District of Alachua Association.
Whereas, the formation of the Northeast
ern District into one union is im practice be
by reason of the geography of thecountr ,
and the remote situation of the churches .
the district, therefore.
Resolved 1, That we, the Orange Creek |
Union, and delegates of Ocklawaba Bridge :
church, do much agree that the two Usio .s 1
of said district remain as now. •
Resolved 2, That all the churches of th.
district meet annually by delegation in toe
Unions alternately on Saturday before fiisi |
&th Sunday in each year of our Lord, Am'
further, that the meeting in 1882 be with th
Fort McCoy Baptist church-
Resolved 3, That it shall be the purpos. .
of these annual meetings to decide whicii :
church in their bounds shall accommodate :
the Association, and discuss sudh further
topics as the body from lime to time may
elect.
Resolved 4, That each church belonging
in the district be requested to send up a con
tribution for the support of Missions in the
Associational bounds at each of these meei-
KesolveJ 5, That each church in the dis
trict shall be allowed two delegates in san.
meetings.
The Union then adjourned to meet with
the Orange Creek church Friday before the
fifth Sunday in October, 1882.
Ucl. John C. Whitner, of Atlanta. Georgia,
says he owes his life to Warner’s Safe Kid

What ails you? Is it a disordered liver
giving you a yellow skin or costive bowels ;
which nave resulted in distressing piles, or
do your kidneys refuse to perform their
functions? If so, your system will soon be
clogged with poisons. Take a few doses of
Kidney Wort and you'll feel like a new

HOWARD METHOD
FOR THE VOICE.
LESSONS SENT BY MAIL.
The Howarrl Met hod, as set forih In writ
ten lessons, has its powerful effect in im
proving the voice beesuse It gives actiml
bodily control or the. muscular efforts of
respiration and ot the throat. Tbe control
Is given to an infinitely greater extent than has
heretofore been deemed possible. By easy and
exactly described steps the pupil is trained to
make movements and efforts of the pharynx, the
palate, throat, and evea of the v .cal chords them
selves. x ,
He thus learns to exert a physical and exact
force to break up each fault of vocal action In
stead of relying upon the feeble and too hid, flune
advice of other methods.
The voice is generally extended in com
pass from three to six notes, Its power
doubledam its quality vastly Impioved.
The wonderful power ot these corresponding les
sons is evinced by 4 bulletins of testimonials and
