8 Florida Department. W. I- OHAUDOIH, Oorrwpondlng Editor and Agent Office at Cleaveland 4 Sons' Furniture (Store, Went Bay street JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. 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. Starke, Fla., August 22d, 1881. 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.— Ed. We do not believe in medicine for chi • dren, but we do believe in Dr Bull’s Ba y Syrup, and assert that no family should ■ e without it. 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 ney and Liver Cure. 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 man—nature will throw off every impedi ment and each organ will be ready fordutv.
