“FOR ALL FLESH IS GRASS."
In February last we married Rev. Paul
Willie to Miss Princess Duke, and the 3d of
September she was taken sick with typhoid
fever, and died on the evening of the 21st.
Writing us of her death, he remarks: "I
feel, my dear brother, that it was the Lord's
will that she should be removed, and His
will is always righteous. Mv greatest com
fort is the sweet and blissful hope that she
is now an angel of light in glory. I base
this hope upon her life, which was pure and
sweet. She was a growing Christian, but
little did I think she was so soon to ripen for
eternity. Short lives are not necessarily in
complete. I feel that her work was finished,
and she leaves a fragrant memory behind.
.... I shall not attempt to tell you all she
was to me. What a comfort, solace and joy
she was to me I So kind, thoughtful, sym
pathetic and affectionate. She entered into
my plans, and felt a deep interest in my
work for the Master,"
The above utterances are intensely true.
How we feel for our brother, whom we re
gard almost as a child! What a loss he has
sustained.' But he has gained, too—gained
in the test of bis faith, in the sweet exper
ience of sustaining grace, in his sweet
thoughts and hopes of heaven. How mys
terious that the gentle, pure, patient, loving
young ‘‘help-meet" should be taken, but it
is all right.
“Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for disgrace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.”
Ere we had become composed, or recovered
from the shock caused by the news of the
death of sister Willis, we received news from
brother Robinson of the death of Miss Ella
Abercrombie, of Lake Como. Her pastor
truthfully says : ‘ She was one of the purest
young Christian girls I ever knew. A most
self sacrificing, gentle, loving, Sunday-school
worker and Christian.”
When we attended the “ Recognition ser
vices" at lake Como church, in April last,
we were the guest of Miss Ella’s family, and
no one, upon so short acquaintance, ever
left so indelible an impression upon our
memory as sister Ella. So dignified, and
yet affable; such reverence for everything
religious, yet so cheerful. She was hand
some and in perfect health, and household
duties seemed almost more of recreation tban
labor, and in less than six months was dead.
She vas buried September 28th, and the
“whole community turned out to her funer
al, and three ministers were present and
took part in the services."
Miss Ella was born in New York, and had
lived in Florida some three years, and was
loved by all. God comfort the distant father
and all the family. Will they accept our
assurances of sympathy ? We feel bereaved.
And now we take up the Union and learn
from it that our brother, Rev. D. B. Barrel,
of Hamilton county, has lost his wife. May
he have “grace according to his day.”
Shall we not have our lamps trimmed and
burning ? _

J. M. Caldwell, pastor.
—Elder Robinson, missionary at Como,
Welaka, Georgetown, and Crescent City,
writes that there has been typhoid fever in
his family, and lost a grand child, but did
not miss any of his appointments, has been
well received and hopes that soon churches
may be constituted at two points.
Brother Proctor.missionary ofState Board,

While off laboring in June, his little daugh

just in time to follow her little corpse to the
grave. Brethren, offer a praver when you
read this, for brother Proctor in this bereave
ment, the first he has been called to experi
ence in his family.
Brother Hughes says, "Since I wrote
you last I baptized two in Hernando, and
one at Pine Level. Went into the Gull
Hammock, thence by Crystal River, but
did not preach at the latter place, as my
family were unwell, I felt it my duty to go
home Recently I passed through Leesburg
and found a Baptist house of worship con
siderably advanced—framing all up, but the
Association will be held at Lone Oak.
—Dear Brother Chaudoin: It is with
emotions of joy that I write you this morn

suffering from cold, but have been trying to
preach every day and night this week and
S irt of last, and the Lord has blessed my
bors. Oh I how I love the service of my
Master. How pleasant to work for Jesus,
knowing he is so faithful to them that serve
him, having the assurance that he will one
day bring us home to heaven.
Our last meeting at Fellowship church
we received five, three by baptism and two
by letter. At Stafford's Pond six, five by

CORRESPONDENCE.
Dear Brother Chaudoin: We are fortu
nate to live in the prettiest, most healthy
and pleasant part of Florida and not only of
this but of many other States, and good
intelligent people are finding it out. Not
only did the Superintendents of Public In
struction of four counties select this neigh
borhood, of all their territory, to establish
an institution of learning ot high order, but
Rev. B. M. Pack, our devoted and highly
esteemed young Sunday school missionary
made choice of this placeof all Florida, that
he has knowledge of to locate him a home
or headquarters, while he labors in his im
portant work. He will leave for the most of
the time his devoted young bride to enjoy
the beauty and magic sweetness of the Santa
Fe's delightful breezes, while the gentle
zephyrs are wafted from the neighboring
hills and lakes, filling this region with an
almost perp t isl pleasantness unknown in
other sections.
Please publish that the Santa Fe River
Association will meet at Eliam church, at
this place, Saturday the 19th of November,
instead of the 12th as published.
Yours in the love of Christ,
G. W. Hall.

SCOTTSVILLE.
Dear Uncle Joab Having heard that there
was a Baptist church some ten miles distant
in the country, and heard that last Sunday
was to be their preaching day, Bettie and X
concluded that we would go over and see how
the saints in the country do. So brigh' and
early on Sunday morning I hitched old bob
tall Bob to our little spring wagon; put Bet.
and the boys in, and off we went for New
Hope, for that is the name of the church. As
we rode along over our sandy roads I could
not help thinking of how we used to go
•twist" a month to dear old Cat Tall church,
up In Georgia; ofthegoodslnglngand preach
ing we used to have there : of the old fashion
prayer and protracted meetings and the
grand old times. Bet. and i talked of these
good old oays until we both cried; we won
dered if we might ever have such delightful
times In Florida ; If we might have a gnaud
day of It at New Hope. We longed for a re
ligious least. We talked and snng as we rode
along; having a little camp-meeting all to
ourselves, and the little boys were the mourn
ers. They cried bitterly because they saw us
cry. Ah—we arrived at New Hope some time
after eleven o’clock, fearing that we should
be too late. But to our Joy we found tliat we
were In time. We saw the men sitting be
neath the oaks smoking and talking. Bet.
and 1 got out and took out the boys, and they
waited until I had unhitched Bob and tied
him to a tree, when we all started for the
"church;” after walking all around the buil
ding we found the door. I stepped up upon
the steps and looking within saw some la
dles sitting, some talking, some smoking,
some nodding and some "Just a doin’ noth
in’.” The men were all without talking for
dear life. Some giving their experience at
orange budding, others discussing the pros
pects for a good crop of cane and corn, others
were much distressed about rust in thecottou.
Whom 1 took to be the preacher, was stand
ing leaning against a tree, with bls saddle
bags on ills arm and a book in his hand.
There being a lull in the conversation, he
said, "well, its time to go In.” They all got
up, and brushed off the sand from their pants,
spit out their tobacco, and falling into a reg
ular Indian tile, marched into the church.
Bringing up the rear I went in and took a
seat by Bettie ; I suppose all the other men
did not have wi ,’es or were bachelors, or wid
owers, or something else, as not a single one
of them sat by a lady. Everybody looked
around at us, and asked each other loud
enough for us to hear It, who the stranger
mlght be Wefelt uncomfortable. Thepreach
er read a hymn—after waiting for some time
for some one to start the tune. Bet and I
struck up Ortonville-everybody looked at
us but the harder. We sung two verses, but
no one coming to our assistance we stopped.
The preacher then read and prayed and an
nounced his text. A grand old text, "Then
they that feared the Lord spake often,” etc.
For one hour he preached away like a good
fellow, telling of practical religion and religi
ous intercourse and the notice that God takes
of pious life and thought: and urged the Im
portance of religious conversation.
The sermon being over, the church was
called together to appoint delegates to the As
sociation. First one brother and another was
appointed delegate to attend the Associa
tion, but each declined, giving as his reason
that It would be Inconvenient to attend. The
pastor asked with a sigh, “who will volunteer
>0 go ?” A young man arose and Indicated his
willingness to go, an old man, white for the
tomb, said he would go. They were appoin
ted. The cierk was directed to write the usu
al letter and a collection taken to send up by
the Messengers. How much was raised I did
not learn The pastor told the brethren that
he was needing something, but I could not
tell what, as the little one began to cry and
we had to take him out-
We enjoyed visit very much,and would have
derived more comfort, but for the abomlna
bledogs that kept trotting about the house,oc
casionally growling at each other, and the
crying of the babies, and the constant grunt
ing of the hogs, and bumping of thegoals un
der the house. Oh why can’t they stop up
the house all around, so the hogs and goats
can’t get under, and why don’t they keep
their dogs at home!! Just then Bet. looked
down on her nice white frock and saw myriads
of black specks thereon,and exclaimed, "Oh
Peter,Just do look.”
We got home late, tired, and thoroughly
wet from a little thunder storm, which over
took us. Soon old brother 8. came over as lie
does every Sunday afternoon to have ids chat
about everything in general and nothing in
particular. All send love.
Your nephew,
Peter Grubbs.

SUGGESTIONS IN TIME.
WHAT A WOMAN OF PROMINENCE IN THE
MEDICAL WORLD HAS TO SAY
ABOUT HER SEX.
Synopsis of a Lecture Delivered by Mrs.
Doctor Kenton Before the Wo
man’s Society of New England.
From the Home Journal, New York.
lu all ages ofthe world,poets,scientists and
men of prominence have looked with en
thusiasm often akin to reverence upon wo
man ; but it is only within the last few years
that she has b to assume her right place,
not only in society, but with the world in
general. Why so desirable an end should
ave been so long delayed it is difficult to
understand; but that it has at last come is
certainly cause for gratitude. In her social
sphere, in her mental development and
especially in her physical improvement,
woman has shown wonderful advancement
and such as astonishes the world.
They who have made a careful investiga
tion tell us that the heathen women are
much more able to endure pain than are the
women of civilization, but civilized women
would resent the charge that they are weaker
because they are civilized. A distinguished
writer says; "If the women of civilization
are leasable to endure tbe taxation of their
physical resources than are heathen women,
it is a mere accidental circumstance and one
within their control.”
Let us consider for a moment the possibil
ities which present themselves to every
woman. When the body is healthy beauty
is certain to appear, even in features and
forms once plain : indeed, it is the only
known way to become beautiful, and all
other preparations, powders, stavs and laces
are contemptible delusions. With health
and beauty in all their attractiveness a new
life dawns,
enjoyment begins
and all the luxurious attendants of a healthy
body come forth. The maiden feels the
i glorious possibilities of life; the mother be
comes conscious ofthe grandeur of matern
ity and tbe joys of a family. Allthisisnot
only woman’s privilege, it is her duty, and
it embodies the highest definition of “wo
man s rights.”
After enumerating many of the blessings
I that follow perfect health the speaker con
tinued:
All these desirable things can be accom
- piished, but in one way only. The Creator
has given both woman and man perfect
I physical forms, and each is constitutionally
equal to all natural demands It is a mis
taken and pernicious notion that one is
strong and the other weak. No curse was
pronounced upon woman which oil not ap
ply with equal penalty against man. If
women believe the fatalism that disease is a
necessary condition of their existence it is
chiefly because the disciples of the schools
of medical practice have been utterly incapa
ble of competing with the multitude of ills
which, by personal carelessness or profes
sional incompetency, they have permitted to
fasten upon women.
A few weeks ago I received a call from a
charming lady, whose earnest face clearly
showed that she desired advice and assist
ance. Upon questioning her she stated that
she believed she was suffering from a para
lyzed liver and wished to know if I could in
any way aid her recovery. Now, imperfect
as her statement was in regard to the disease
which troubled her, there is no doubt that
THOUSANDS of women
are suffering to-day, from similar troubles,
who do not recognize their cause so nearly
as this lady did. Paralysis means death of
the member paralyzed and torpidity of the
liver is theifirst stage ofits dissolution. This
is one of the most serious questions that can
arise in the experience of any woman ; for a
torpid and diseased liver cannot be cured at
once, and it carries with it the elements of
disease to all the other parts of the system.
Withan imperfect liver, biliousness, lan
guor, a sense of bearing down, constipation,
displacements, uterine troubles and the
thousand ills which are coupled in their
train come thick and fast. Then follow im
pure blood and all the evils which an im
perfect circulation cause. A derangement
of the kidneys or liver causes disease in the
organs which adjoin them just as certainly
as a bail peach injures the other peaches in
the basket. Not.only this, but when these
organs are in a healthy state they restore
and keep in order any irregularity which
may occur in the lower portion of the body.
No woman was ever seriously sick for any
length of time when such was the case. No
serious inflammation can occur when the
blood is pure, and no blood can be impure
when the liver or kidneys are in perfect or
der.
I have seen very much of the troubles
and ills to which women have been sub
jected, and I have learned to sympathize
while I have sought to relieve. In endeav
oring to carry relief I have tried to be free
from prejudice and have in view but one
end, namely - to help those who are suffer
ing; and I feel it is my privilege to-day to
state that I believe there is a means whereby
those women who are suffering can obtain
complete relief and those who are in health
be continued in its enjoyment. A few years
ago a prominent and wealthy gentleman re
siding in Rochester, N. Y., was given up to
die of Bright’s disease of the kidneys. By
means of a simple and purely vegetable
remedy he was restored to perfect health,
and has since been the means of saying the
lives of many others. So efficient did
HIS DISCOVERY
prove in the case of many well-known men
that it began also to be used by ladies, and
to day,thousands of women,in all parts of the
land, owe their restored health and con ilin
ed happiness to the wonderful power of
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Mr.
Warner has the written testimony of hun
dreds of the best ladies in the land, enthusi
astically praising the remedy, and thank
fully expressing their gratitude fur health.
These letters are sacred, and cannot be given
to the public, but they overwhelmingly veri
fy all the facts above stated. Nature has
given woman a delicate, watchful, alert in
stinct and she has found this remedy to be
what her sex for years has needed, to restore
i and maintain the perfection of nature. She
resents the imputation that she is bound to
■ suffer all the ills that attack her. She recog
i nizes that suffering is but an incident of her
1 existence, and that this incident is wholly
within her control, if she can find the ne
cessarv helps which nature provides The
I changeable character of our climate, the
oft times exacting and enervating customs
of society, of fasiiion and of necessity, all
conspire to impair the vitality of women. Il
we add to these the exhausting duties of
motherhood, and the mental anxiety for the
success of her husband in all his laudable
ambitions, which play upon her energies, is
it surprising that thus burdened she should
break down under the physical strain ’ By
no means—on the contrary the wonder is
that she has maintained her physical
strength as she has.
I have not the time to elaborate this point.
You yourselves very well know what the
circumstances are which have rendered her
life a burden. You also know that the
PRIMARY CAUSE
of physical degeneration is impure blood.
The performance ot the natural functions of
womanhood and motherhood is not a dis
ease, nor should it be so treated. Disease is
the result of the transgressions of physical
laws by onr ancestors or by ourselves, and
the natural coursings of the blood should
not be so considered. If, however, the
blood be impure, it is certain to produce its
poisonous effects in the parts with which it
comes in contact, and thus cause in flam ma
tions and the innumerable ills that make

the physical 1 ife of woman so hard to en
dure. ,
An enumeration of the troubles of which
woman is subjected, and the adaptability of
the remedy above named for their cure was
then made by the speaker, who continued:
I am aware a prejudice exists against pro
prietary medicines, and that such prejudice
is too often well founded, but we should dis
criminate in our judgments and. not con
demn all because some are inefficient. The
merits of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure have been proven beyond a doubt, be
cause they deal directly with the causes of all
female troubles; they effect aud control the
body of the tree rather than its branchi s.
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has
indeed been a blessing for the rich ; a boon
to the poor. It has lilted men from a bed of
death aud restored them to vigor and health.
But greater aud better than all this, it has
come to woman, has raised her, restored her
and kept her in constant hopefulness and
health. It has kept back disease by fitting
the system to resist its attacks; it has regula
ted the life, purified the sources of life, and
brought innumerable blessings out of num
berless woes.
The women of America, both young and
old, have greater opportunities to-day than
those of any land in any age. Their rights
are more fully recognized, their privileges
greater and their possibilities unlimited.
They are permitted to enjoy life to its
fullest extent, and to do this their bodies
must be unimpaired- I congratulate the
women of this free land that the keenness ot
their perceptions has led them to discover
their necessities and; what will satisfy them.
I congratulate them that they, who hate
reaped the greatest benefits from tbe scien
tific reseatches ofindependentinvestigation,
are to day the most enthusiastic proclaimed
of the merits of this great remedy of whie ,
I have spoken. The spirit oi intolerance, I
may say in conclusion, so rampant in this
age of free investigation when all things are
judged by what they are and not by what
they seem, must eventually give way to the
better, wiser, nobler liberality in which
alone can be found true security, true peace,
true health and true happiness.
