It is a beautiful, valua hie book—a fine book of reference—ano every Clerk is given this book whose Minutes were printed there. How much we wish all our Florida Minutes were sent there; how convenient it would make the book ; how easy to preserve the Minutes. —Kind Words! Kind words? Yes, kind words.

It is a good, or they are good papers, cheap papers, Bap tist papers, our papers, for they belong to our Southern Baptist Convention. —Remember, brethren, as Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer of your State Board of Missions, you impose upon us the duty ol collecting funds for State, Home, Indian and Foreign missions, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. We request all per sons and chuiches to send all funds for these objects to us at Jacksonville, and net direct to the Boards. It will delay them but little, and make it much easier for me to keep my accounts, and be enabled from time to time to report just what lias been done by the whole State for any one of these objects Please do not forget this, and send by regis tered letter, money order, check on New- York, or by express, all money’ to me at Jacksonville. We have a right to request this—reasons for it—and believe you will do it. W. N. Chaudoin, Cor. Sec. and Treas. TOWN AND COUNTRY. A brother in South Florida writes us,“The Baptist influence is much the strongest in the country, but in the towns the Pedoes are strongest.” The same old story. All over Middle, West and Erst Florida, that is so, and in South Florida, new yet, and just set tling up. the same thing is being repeated. Why is this? Baptists claim to be Apostolic in practice, and talk very dogmatically about the New Testament especially, as the rule of their faith and “practice.” Well, if weare taken up, tried, and expelled for it, we are going to say, or write, that the “Pedoes” as our brother calls them, are more apostolic in one thing, in our opinion, than we are. Now bn ther, before you get mad, throw down the paper and say "Shad is unsound,” please do us one little favor, viz , tell where we can find in the New Testa ment, that the Apostles con t tutid, organ ized, or built up a church in the country We did not say it was wrong, nor are we go ing to say it is wrong, to preach, and build up churches in the country. But we are simple enough to think the Savior and his Apostles bad as much sense as we have and they went to the towns first. And in this our Pedobaptist brethren are more apostolic than we Baptists are. Our first efforts in missionary work should be in the towns, the centres, the places where we can reach the most people soonest. Begin at the heart, in the centre and work out, is the order of nature, is it not? But we have more to say about this, and we leave the subject now a- least for awhile, and wait for some one to help us find where the Apostles organized a country church. We are in favor of following them in doctrine and practice. Somehow we cannot help having some little fears that there is defec. in doctrine when the practice is detective Doctrine is like the tree, which if good is likely to have good fruit, or practice. Some wrong notions or beliefs are among us or we would not shun the towns. So it seems to us. CORRESPONDENCE. Dear Bbothub :—The Lord continues good to us here. I had the pleasure of baptizing one last Sunday afternoon, and soon to have one more to follow. Something else has transpired since vou were here, that has made the pastor glad, and proud of the lady njembers of his church. He has been the recipient of a suit of finest cassimere at their hands. And I will here take the opportunity of thanking them for theirtoken of appreciation and af fection. I feel real proud of the gift and the givers. May they be prospered tempo rally and spiritually tenfold of the Lord lam just getting up from a spell of bil- I ious lever, with which I was taken as I was | beginning a meeting with brother Harris at Piney Grove church. Yours in Christ. 0 C? MF* Madison, Fla-, Sept. 19th, 1881. Dear Brother Chavdoin :—The first Sunday in this month I preached the fun - , ral of sister Mary Latnb. wife of our dear brother, Elder John B. Lamb. Sie diedin j July 1881, in L vy county, Fla. She was one I of the most faithful mothers I ever had the pleasure of being acquainted with. She left five children. Her twin babes died,one be fore, and the other soon after the mother. She was severely afflicted for many months before her death and left abundant evidence that she has gone to the house, not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” G. W. Hall. Dear Brother Chavdoin : The Beulah Association will (D V.) meet at Bethlehem church, four miles east of Lake City, Friday before the second Sabbath in October. Come by all means ; wall be glad to see you. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1881. We have had several additions by baptism at Cypress Lake, Pbillippi and Edm. Our house of worship at Elim is nearly finished, and it is a real nice one, too;—have moved it from where It was and made several changes, etc. Did you ever see a preacher “strutting” in new boots and enjoying the thoughts that he had ham and lard in his pantry ? Well, that’s me, and they came from Phillippi—a present. Yours in Christian love, Geo T. Leitner Lake City, September 16, 1881. Dear Brother Chavdoin: I write at this time to give you a special invitation to be with us at our next Association. It meets with Friendship church, seven miles north west from Greenwood and embracAi the i bird Sabbath in October. You should come to the river at Chattahoochee so as to meet the boat coming upon Wednesday and come to'Neal's Landing and thence to Gre -nwood >y private conveyance. If you will agree to • ome I will meet you at Neal's Landing. 1 want you to come prepared to preach with me a week at Greenwood after the Associa don. I am still engaged in my work ns evangelist for our Association ami am deci • ledly impressed with the idea that it has not been in vain. Our churches seem much encourged and the congregations have been very large and remarkably attentive. My pan has been to hold a meeting of three ■ lays with each church (instead ofthe circuit riding plan of one day) and thereby get up .< general interest in the meeting and get all th. ch irches and people in the surrounding neighborhoods to join in t e meeting. This plan works well. It secures large congrega lions and vasily more interest in the meet ings than the old plan And besides that it gives every church a Sabbath in connection with the two days. I have hi d regular bu-h aibor camp-meet mgs atsome places, with congregations from -ix to eight hundred people. I have preached irom tbne to five sermons at these meetings all of a doctrinal character. Some on church organization and discipline, ordinances, doctrines of grace, etc., etc Our brethren all express themselves as well pleased, be lievingthat our cause will advance more rapidly than heretofore. I am satisfied that our Pedobaptist friends have found out a ew things about Baptists that they did not Know before, and that they are not as well satisfied with their own doctrines as they thought they were. Some of the churches within the bounds of our Association have been much revived and many 1 a e added to their membership while others have not, but our Association, us a whole, is no doubt, in much better con dition than formerly. lam sorry to say t hat the financial condition of our Assrcia tion, I fear, will be bad this fall on account of the great failure of crops this season The crops in Jacks-on, Washington and Calhoufr counties, with a few small exceptions, are very poor. Many will not make enough corn to last them until Christmas. The prospect for another year is gloomy indeed. But the Lord is able to cause their poverty io abound to the riches of their liberality. We still hope for tbebest. I hope to finish my work by the time of our Association meets, and be able to make a final report Hoping to see you at our Association, I am fraternally, T. E. Langley.

I Spivey, of Hernando county, a licensed minister of Oak Grove church, writes at length of his trip to Coffee county, his former home. We can only find room for some items of general interest.—Ed Brother chaudoin :—Leaving home in South Florida, to visit relatives in South Georgia, the first day we reached Sumter county, and visited a protracted meeting ot the Methodist church which seemed to be interesting. Went home with brother O. Collins, a Methodist brother, who showed my wife and self great hospitality and showed me over an abundant crop and one of tne finest orange groves in South Flori da. Taking leave of brother Collins and bis excellent wife, night found us at Hon. Mr. Bevels, representative of Sumpter county, where we spent the night, and next morn ing, after paying our fare, continued our 1 journey, and reached Whitesville, Marion county, Saturday night, where we lay over till Monday morning, with our esteeme I friends, Robert Marshall and wife, at whose hands we were treated most hospitably. Thence we journeyed noticing all along, very fine crops, and large and beautiful orange and banana groves. Nearin' Ocala, we came in view of some three hundred hands at work on the railroad leading to South Florida. Entering the town, we were impressed with its fine concrete build ings rapidly going up, the activity of trade, and the healthy appearance of its citizens Leaving Ocala, we still noticed fine crop and the country in a healthy and prosper ous condition. Tuesday night we were kindly cared for by sister McKinney, and Wednesday night found us at brother Char ley Rays, where we remained till next Mon day, and preached at his house Thursday and Friday nights, and at Wilderness church, near by, Saturday and Sunday, to large attentive audiences. Two were re ceived for baptism. We next stopped at brother Cone’s, in Columbia, and ibu.id ! m to be a Baptist of the true stamp ana a great light in bis church. Here again, we wt r highly entertained by brother Cone at d family as we were on the following night by that hospitable citizen of Clinch county, Ga., Mr. R Dickerson. From Mr. I) 's we reached the house of our brother-in law, Thomas P Oneal, for dinner, where we re mained till next day and ac ornpanied brother Oneal to one vs bis appointments. Rev. T. P Oneal is young in the ministry lately ordained, and is already useful in the Master's cause. He is very zealous and alwajs on the alert, though he has a family of eight girls and one son, and has never received one cent for his labor, and never mentions it. He is in the highest spirits, although poor and rents land, and reads The Index, and pays for it, too. Note—There is hope that brother Oneal will see his error, as he reads The Index. He will not always be willing to pay as much as be does now, for the privilege of preaching to people who are willing to nave iris labor for nothing. Mark this prophecy. —Ed. "The Boston Traveler ' says: It is a com plete lesson in the higher possibilities of modern furnishing to walk through the chambers of “Piumer's” New American Ho tel, opposite Independence Hall, at Philadel phia, and see the walnut suites, executed from chaste de-igns of the Queen Anne pe riod. The parlor is a superb apartment, elaborately finished with fine fresco work and the richest upholstery. The billiard room, with its sixteen tables, massive mir rors, is probably the finest hall devoted to the g’eat French game that exists anywhere i, the .-. o Id. Married. HILLYER—RIVER.—Rev. J. L. D. Hillyer, of Warren county. Miss., was married on the 26th of ■ieptember. 1881, to Miss Anna C , daughter of Mr Jan. A. River, of Petetsburg, Va. The cere mony was performed by Rev.
