Dear brother Chandoin .- If I may not only in ti nd bnt do for God's glory in writing. I trust I should he glad to do so. We had a good meet ing at providence through the Lord, during the second we-k in July I think the most notable feature of it was the earnest working of the brethren. During that excessively warm weath er brethren worked in their fields until nine or ten then came to meeting, then worked again from three or four uni 1 night and came to meet ing again. This for ten days and then night meeting for two nights. Two of these brethren thus laboring physically, mentally, and spirit ually were over seventy-two years old. One sister cooked for a very large family, kept her house In order and came twice a day wal .ed a mile and back. Another sister walked nearly four miles and back several times, and she was a grandmother and gray-headed. The Lord bles sed the church; nine were baptized and two Joined by letter. Let us be sad amid rejoicing. Bro S P Koon Is no more. He was ordained. 1879, and seemed to be always anxious to do all he could He was one of those who brought the best for sacrifice, the best affections of his heart. He could answer, if any of us could, the inquiry, “ Is thy heart right with my heart,” by saying, We had an interesting union meeting at How ard Grove Ist Query.

Rich ardson a Primitive brother, at Providence Note' —We aresorry. We ate sorry "two times.” g, >rry the above good letter was so long appearing. Weave "more sorrier" that "Bro. Ben," has joined the Antis, (if he has), and become a Modem. The missionaries are the Primitives, and what need to tell us, a Primitive helped you. brother'.’ Ah! we understand you, but call things and people by their right names You fal sify history if you call Antis, Primitives SIIAD. QUERY. A brother asks us a question that seems to be a sort of compound one, but we answer on general principles. He asks “what the custom or practice of Baptist churches is in reference to a member who receives a letter of dismis sion, conditioned when he joins some other church of the same faith and or der?” We are very sorry to say that, as a rule, with few exceptions, the custom is to treat those members as if they were excluded when they are just as much members as before. The letter says on the face of it, dismissed from us when joined—not before—not till joined to another church of the same faith, etc. Not dismissed from us till they join an other, and not then, unless they join the right sort. No, no; a letter never was designed to be anything but a means of transferring membership from one to another church in fellowship with it. A member holding a letter should be looked after, required to attend meet-, ings, make contributions, and be dealt with for immorality or heresy, just as if a letter had not been granted, until that letter is used, or has been offered and received by a sister church. The name should stand on the roll till the church is notified by some sister church that they have received that member on his or her letter. Hence, when a letter is returned, no action is necessary, or vote, —nothing only that the clerk record the fact that the letter is returned. Hence, the proper plan is that pursued by our beet regulated churches, to give persons who are going away, and know not where, a Tetter of commendation as a member of such a church, and when they locate and want to change their membership, let them write back to Hebron for a letter of dismission to Bethany, and when Bethany receives the letter let her notify Hebron, and then she erases the name of that member. That is decency and order. But alas, our practice, as a rule, gives the lie to the letters we write. We say they are with us and of us till they j 'in another, and yet we just let them run wild, kick up their heels at us like a horse that won’t be caught in the pas ture, and even let them go to the dogs, or somewhere worse, right before us. Shame, shame! Members get miffed, imagine some brother has trampled on their “feelings,” which are so important that they think they have a right to spread them out all around and require others to go all the way round them, and they take a letter and imagine their membership is in their pocket; and the churches act as if their delusion was a reality. Oh that such looseness might end! Ed. CORRESPONDENCE. Dear Uncle Shad :—ls chiding a brother through the public press no sin ? Some mention about brother Peter in The Index of June 23d gave rise to the thought. If the question is answered in the affirmative, we—not being a newspaper man—will say no more at present, though, if otherwise, why should it be done ? Nobody can hurt Baptists but Baptists. Your nephew, Israel Grubb;. U Scottsville, Fla,, Remarks—We do not understand the above, or we are not sure we do. If we have mentioned Peter chidingly, we are not con - scions of it, and know that we did not in tend anything said as a chiding. We, with all our readers, as far as we know, like Pe ter’s letters very much, and cannot but love the brother. If Israel Grubbs is striking at us for let ting Peter write as he does, all we have to say is it is a Grubbs quarrel, and they are both at Scottsville, and can see each other, and have an understanding. As long as Peter wiites as he has done, he can have room, occasionally, at least. Brother Israel calls us "uncle,” but we have no relatives of that name, and we sup p se he just called us Uncle Shad, because others do. ... We have not categorically answered the questions of Israel Grubbs, nor do we know THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1881. how exactly. The truth is, Peter has mani fested no dissatisfaction, and we have no idea that he is striking al us behind hisrela tive. What relation are you to Peter,broth er ’srael I— Ed. Dear Brother Ciiaudoin :— Being looked upon as a literary man, as a general thing it is a minor matter for me to write a letter, but in my present condition, with the lever preying on my system, my nerves shattered, and my mind in a perfect state of perturba tion, I must confess that it is with the most heartfelt reluctance that I am necessitated to become the writer and dictator of a letter which is so averse to my feelings as this one must be. But J can only say, "Fiat justiua, ruat ciKlum." My subscription has expired and I have been so courteously solicited to renew, but circumstances over which I have no control, together with sickness, ren ders it beyond my power to comply with the gentle request. I would have written before to ask tor my paper to be stopped, but being unable to pay up to the time, and thinking by and by I would have it, has been one cause of my procrastination in the matter. I could write "Stop that paper," if it was only a political journal engendering strife, but when 1 am compelled to use a personal pronoun, in the possessive case, and the paper to which I am about to say stop, is one of the leading religious journals of the world, (I allude to The Inpex) it makes the word stop, almost impossible to write it So you can imagine my feelings when I have to write, "stop my paper.” Truly the name it bears also vindicates, pointing out to the true believer how he may be established ; to the backslider how he may be reclaimed ; to the mourner how he may be comforted ; to aliens and stran gers how they may be allied to the com monwealth of Israel. One thing that perhaps makes The Index dearer to me than it may be to others, is, I was born in Hancock county, Ga., removed to Columbus in 1856, where I spun three years. So by nativity lam a Georgian. I then went to Alabama, and except the four years of the war, that was my home till January, 1877, when I immigrated to the Land of Flowers. So, when I get The Index 1 tind a Georgia, Alabama and Florida De partment, how much like a home paper that makes it feel to me. The word stop is truly hard to write in thiscase, but hard as it is, it must be done, and I am to bear hardship as a good soldier. Pray for me and mine, that we may see for tunesmill on us and have The Index again restored to us. Yours in Christian bonds, Perry, Fla., A Brother. The above is from a minister, who was at home sick, and without the comforts of life. He must have The Index —Ed. A good nurse is a blessing to every family, and all sensible nurses recommend that in nocent but effectual remedy for all the pains and ills that befall a baby,—Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup. Price 25 cents. A Self-Made Man.— About ten years ago there was ploughing upon the hillside in Huntendon county, New Jersey, a poor barefooted boy. lie was one of a large family and stood but a small show for a share of this world’s joys. He was forced to leave the paternal root and seek his own support. He had the true American pluck and strove manfully to make his mark in the world. How well he has succeeded will be un derstood when we state that he has become to day one of the largest and most influential man ufacturers in this country. Alone he mapped out a career which already shines conspicuously among the many examples of the self-made men of our times. His name Is the Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, Mayor of Washington, New Jersey, and it has become a household word throughout the length and breadth of this land. His unaided enterprise has been prodigious—his success phe nomenal. He manufactures and sells direct to the people from bls mammoth factory at Wash ington, New Jersey, upwards of one thousand cabinet organs every month His establishment exceeds in size any similar fictory upon the globe, and he is rapidly becoming one of the great benefactors of the race, for he has abolish ed middlemen's and all extortionate profits and by reason of a vast trade he produces instruments very economically, and sells them at a small mar gin above actual cost. The Beethoven Grand Organ shown in an advertisement in this issue is one of his newest styles, and is meeting with a wonderful sale. The combination Is new and Mr. Beatty has secured it for his exclusive use by caveats filed at the Patent Office. The organ was produced in May and Is pronounced by all disinterested judges to be one of the finest ever placed upon the market. It should be ordered at once if desired for a Holiday present as Mayor Beatty has an immense trade, and has to crowd his factory to fill orders. Readers should remem ber that Mr. Beatty is thoroughly responsible and guarantees everything exactly as represent ed. He has been three times elected Mayor of his own city which is proof positive that he is honored and respected at home. It “I don’t want a plaster," said a sick man to a druggist. “Cant you give me something to cure me?” His symptoms were a lame back and disordered urine, and were a sure indication of kidney disease. The druggist told him to use Kidney- Wort, and in a short time it eflected a complete cure. Have you these symptoms? Then get a box or bottle to-day—before you become incurable. It is the cure ; safe and sure.—Knoxville Repub lican. - “The Boston Traveler” says:—The Pal mer House at Chicago is larger, and more showy, and possibly the new Windtor at Mantreal is a close competitor, but we claim that neither of them are mo r e abundantly provided with everything that ministers in a refined way to the comfort of the better class of travelers, than “Plumer's” New American Hotel, at Philadelphia, opposite Independence Hall. The proprietors of Kendall’s Spavin Cure challenge the whole world to produce its equal as a cure for rheumatism or any other deep-seated pain. It stands without a rival. As one pound of Dobbins’ Electric Soap, (made by Cragin & Co., Phila.) will do the work of five pounds of any other, it is really the cheapest, though it cost a little more per pound. Try it. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. It is worth remembering that nobody en joys the nicest surroundings if in bad health. There are miserable people about to day with one foot in the grave, when a bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonic would do them more good than all the doctors and medicines they have ever tried. See advertisement. sepß Im. We invite attention to the advertisement of Robert W. Kip, 62 Fulton street, New York City, manufacturer of Medala, Badges, etc., for schools, colleges and societies. Mr. Kip makes sterling articles of this class, executed with artistic taste and ski!'. His references arc of the highest order, and promptness and fidelity have given him an excellent reputation among educators. Send to him for sac simile of his designs with prices. The closing ol the year for schools makes this the op portune time to send Mr. Kip orders for medals, etc. iun9 3m. —The Michigan Christian Advocate says that it is the duty of the preacher in charge to organize baptized children into “classes, at the age of ten years or younger, and ap point suitable leaders to meet them weekly and instruct them in the nature, design and obligations of baptism, and other religious truth. Teachers of these classes should be no novices, but rather of the best and most experienced talent in the society.” Exactly so. Nothing short of that “talent” could be trusted with "the nature, design and ob ligations of baptism ' when infants are made .objects of the ordinance; for in that case the need is to explain away and set aside what the Scriptures teach with regard to this “nature and design" and these “obligations,” and to substitute something else in place of their teaching—something against the truth and yet looking like it. No task for “novi ces” certainly 1 CONSUMPTION OURED.
