N Chaudoiri, Treasurer Florida State Board of Missions, (S2O 00) twenty dollars, for uieeting-bouse for Bap tist church at Apopka City. Florida. J D Dorsett, M. M. Simmons, Committee. Apopka City, Fla., August 12th, 1881. —Mr. Ingraham Fletcher, of Indianapolis, Indiana, saw a notice in a Florida paper that the ladies of Sanford were striving to raise funds to build a Methodist church, and sent them a check for $25. That is the kind of Christian fellowship we like. These good ladies are ready to hear from a few more of the liberal-hearted. —Union. We wish there were more Fletchers, and some of them Baptists. There are hundreds of good people, though, in Georgia bearing other names who are helping us to build at Apopka, Leesburg, Bartow and other places. —Sad —The many friends of Mr. Oscar J. Keep, of this city, will learn, with profound regret, of his death, which sad occurrence took place yesterday morning after a brief illness. Mr. Keep had long been a resident of this city, and was well known and held in high esteem by all. He was a brother of Mr. W. W. Keep, of Quincy, and brother in law of Mr. J C. Greeley, and had for some time previous to his death, been engaged in Mr. Greeley's bank. His funeral took place ; yesterday afternoon, and was largely atten- 1 ded. He leaves a wife and several small children, and a number of relatives in this State to mourn bis loss. To these we extend our sympathy.—Union. Quite a number of our readers remember W. W. Keep, an able Baptist minister, who labored in Florida at one time, the father of Mr. Oscar J. Keep, whose death we noticed some time back. None of his children in Florida, however, are Baptists. Is it not strange ? —The Apopka church organized a Sunday school the third Sunday in July, and it is doing well, we hear. —Here is a letter containing money for The Index f< r three years, and the writer says: " I feel that The Index is an indis pensible with myself and family.” His name is Jesse Mercer Willis, and is, of course, a Georgian—a worthy son, too. —"My health continues poor, indeed,” writes Dr. Mays, of Jacksonville, which we regret to bear. The doctor has recently bap tized an excellent young man. —The new meeting-house at Apopka will be dedicated the second Sunday in October, and the Wekiva Association will convene the Sunday before at O'lando. Elder Powell has improved some in health, but is still very feeble. —We hear that Elder Waugh has made another visit to Cedar Keys that was pleasant and encouraging, and we rejoice. —W’e have not received a new subscriber in some time—waiting on you. —We have received nothing for our “ In dex Fund” in some weeks now. —We have not received that $26 donation for our State Board yet. —W’e have not received anything for church-building in several weeks. —We have not heard from but one Sun day-school making a contribution to State missions— waiting to hear of others. —W’e have heard of a meeting at which twenty or more were baptized, but we got no new subscribers from there. We have hope that our annual meetings will be seasons of refreshing, spiritually, and of earnest work for the Master. —We have reason to think some of our ministers ought to do more for The Index than they are doing. Reader, ought you ? —We have preached thirty six times in the last forty-six days, and have been quite successful in raising funds for church houses. —“We have good congregations, and peo ple seem to enjoy the meetings, but the members do not seem to bear the fruit proper between meetings. We need a higher stand ard of morals.” A sad “fact” that is. —I hope we are prospering. W’e are about building a new Baptist church. Ours is the most prominent point in the country, near the coast, south 01 Tampa,” i e. Palmetto. This is u more cheering "fact.” —Brother J G- Taylor, of Wellborn. has had fever recently, but is improving. Glad. —“They accuse me of being a beggar, and lam glad’ lam a beggar. I love to beg the Lord to forgive my shortcomings. I love to beg Him to forgive sinners and strengthen Christians, and I love to beg the people for their money for missions.” Rather, say. “tell the people to pay the Lord their dues.” —“I love to read your Florida Department so much.” So writes a good brother at Sa vannah, and we are glad. —“Come away down here in Florida and perhaps you could cure some that have the palsy,—shake head Baptists,—for a good many down here have it.” We would ad vise you, sister, to send for brother Peter Grubbs, of Scottsville, Florida. —• Our little church in Bartow is not very flourishing, though we are alive and bouyant with hopes. Last Sunday when an oppor tunity was given persons to join the church, Mrs. Jasper Summerlin came (from the Methodists), and was duly received, and we regard her as a valuable accession to our church.” So writes pastor Hayman, and says others are looked for to join by letter. write again. I love to read his letters—think they are very appropriate.” He is no nephew, we say again, of ours. Our name is not Joab, nor is our wife named Pattie. Well, he did call us Uncle Shad, but only because others do so. —“Dear Bbotheb: The Index has stopped. I have not been able to pay for it, but I nave the pleasure of reading it yet, for a dear friend and church sister will let me read hers. I love to read letters from others and keep up with the times.” Ah, sister B , we love you, and want to shake your hana I —A goodly number of readers will remem ber that, during the past twelve months, we had occaadon irtquently to refer to J. B. Blitch, of Archer, or to publish some of his THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST :• THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1881. rich expressions The dear orphan boy, the ripe young Christian, passed a wav from earth's sorrows a few weeks ago. We shall misshim. We loved him. We are brothers yet. —A letter with money ! How cheering Reader, ought you not to cheer us ? Do you owe The Index? Write us, wont you? —Pray for your Association right now, provided you are going to send up any money. Then pray for your own delegates who go up. Pray for your pastor, and give him something, or pay him up. AN IMPOSTOR. On, or about the first of April, 1880, one Martin C. Dowling appeared among us, in Lafayette county claiming to have been raised in South Carolina. He also claimed to have been a member of the Missionary Baptist church. He was ad mitted to membership in our church nnder statement that he had failed to keep his letter by being transient. During the time of his sojourn among us he gave evidence of strict morality, while his piety was, to all appearance, unquestionable—praying and exhorting in public. When he had remained six months, he married a lady identified with the Missionary Baptist church. On the 14th of June, 1881 - havingpretty well squandered the means of his wife, who was a widow with three children, prior to their marrage—he borrowed my mule, cart and complete outfit under pretence of going to Madisonville. When the time had elapsed for his re turn, I followed him, but he bad got too far off for me to overtake him. The last I heard of him he was about two miles northeast of Quitman, Ga. I will here append a description which will warn others against this arch impostor, should he attempt to impose on some other com munity. Said Martin C. Dowling is about five feet six or eight inches high, of rather dark complexion, with black hair, black heavy beard and eye-urows—beard rather sunburnt—high forehead, talks ! gross, rather disposed to be forward, claims to be able to teach vocal music and to be a brick-mason by trade, wears about a No. 6 shoe, weighs about 135 pounds and is about thirty or thirty five years of age, - is industriously disposed, ; has a scar on left thumb-nail, by being split, causing a portion of the nail to grow to one side, a scar on back of neck, near edge of hair, size of a shot, caused from a rising, also a scar, I think, on left leg from a ball. N. H. Frier. Lafayette county, Fla., Sept. 15, 1881. | CORRESPONDENCE. Deab Brother Chavdoin : I wrote you concerning the death of a friend who inten ded uniting with us the first Sunday we occupied our own house of worship. I now have to report the removal of one of our members from service below to the rest above. Miss Jane K. Powell died August 29th, of congestive chill. She had been complaining for several days, and bad some fever, but nothing serious was apprehended by herself or friends until the afternoon of the date of her death, whi n her aged father, now 78, discovered her condition to be alarming. A physician was immediately obtained, and all was done that could be to revive her, but in vain. She died at 10 o'clock p. m. Miss Powell was born January Ist, 1826 in Richmond county, North Carolina. Her father moved to South Carolina in 1831, in which State she resided until 1870, when her parents and herself moved to this place. She was baptized by Rev. G W. Hall during the summer of 1876. and when this church was re organized, in September following, she was one of the number, and was an earnest, faithful member from that time up to the time of her death. Her exemplary walk and conversation were a constant tes timonial of the genuineness of her piety. We are bereaved, but we “mourn not as those who have no hope,’’ for we feel assured that she has realized the truth that “to die is gain.” From these words I preached her funeral discourse. She ‘ will be missed, for her seat will be vacantbut it is no longer vacant in the “upper sanctuary.” The Sunday before she was taken sick, we observed the ordinance of the Lord's supper. This was her first and last communion sea son. The weather is warm and dry. We have had no rain scarcely thissummer—have had none for more than a week, and vegetation is beginning to die. T l we do not have rain in a lew days the potato crop will be cut off a great deal. The vines are dying now fer tile want of rain. I have nothing of special interest to report from my field, excepting our church is approaching completion, and we hope to dedicate it this fall or winter. Our Association meets at Eliam church- I hope to meet you there. Fraternally, N. A. B. Micanopy. Fla., 'September sth, 1881. MINISTERS AND DEACONS MEETINS.

HskkelL, Moderator. J. M.Csldwell, Secretary. BEA UTIFUL ILL USTRA TION. In answering the question “Why faith is selected as the channel of Salvation," Spur geon says: “It becomes us to be modest in answering such a question, for God's ways are not always to be understood ; but as far as we can tell, faith has been selected as the channel of grace because there is a natural adaptation in faith to be used as the receiver. Do let me put this very plainly: Faith which receives Christ is as simple an act as when your child receives an apple from you, because you hold it out and promise to give it the apple if it comes for it. The belief and the receiving relate only to an apple, but they make up precisely the same act as the faith which deals with eternal salvation, and what the child's hand is to the apple, that your faith is to the perfect salvation of Christ. “The child’s band does not make the apple, nor alter the apple; it only takes it; and faith is chosen by God to be the receiver of salvation, because it does not pretend to make salvation, nor to help in it, but it re ceives it.” What a beautiful, simple illustration for a minister or Suaday school teacher—yes, for any Christian. We desire to give one such every week, or as often as we can, after we catch tip some. Illustration is by far the most effectual way to interest the masses of the people. The Savior taught that way, the Spirit wrote that way through the apostles. —Ed. Why Are You Bilious? Because you have allowed your bowels to become costive, and liver torpid. Use Kidney-Wort to pro duce a free state of the bowels, and it will stimulate the liver to proper action, cleanse the skin of its yellowness, cere bilious bead ache, and cause new lite in fltie blood Drug* gists have it, both D y and Liquid- —Zion’s Herald.

The Howard Met hod, as set forth in writ t<*n legMOiia, has its powerful «flfect in im proving the voice because it gives actual bodily control of the muscular efforts of r< spiral ion nnd of the throat. The control is given to an infinitely greater extent than ha* heretofore been deemed possible. By easy and exactly described steps the pupil is trained to make movements ami efforts of the pharynx, the palate, throat, and even of the v. cal chords them selves. 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 indt finite advice of other methods. The voice i« generally extended in coin* pass from three to six notes, its power doubled am it- quality vastly improved. The wonderful power of the-e corresponding les sons is evinced by 4 bulletins of testimonials and and many special circulars. "The improvement in my voice is wonderful." Chas. N.
