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 ? _ Young, middle aged, or old men, suffering from nervous debility and kindred weak nesses, should send two stamps for large treatise, giving successful treatment.

FJiOM THE CHUHCHES. “There were sixteen accessions to our church dring the progress of our meeting minister’s and deacon's meeting at Jasper eight by baptism and eight by letter.” 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, in' Lafayette, has five regular appointments. While off laboring in June, his little daugh ter, Judson, died, and be arrived at home 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 ing. We are all well except myself. lam 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 - -baptism and one by letter. At Archer two by baptism. Since the meeting began here W« have received one for baptism and the meeting is still going on. Will let you THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1881. know the result. Some manifest a deep interest- May the Lord bless them. I .was so disappointed when you did not meet me here. I would have met you at Newnanville and brought you down but had to preach in Ocala, and was there. Why don’t you visit mein my work? We all want to see you. We are preparing for the Association. Maybe I will get up with you there. I have received - a call from the Ocala Baptist church, and ; expect to serve them next year.

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.

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.

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 AUTOMATIC SHADING FEN, Produces a beautifully shaded - Mark W ' th 3 S ' n g ,e StrOke Sample Set, 3 Size.,- by Mali, sl.

A. 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.
