(Veil, on our return from Georgia, we went to Wilderness church, some two miles west of Newnansville, in the western part of Alachua county. Why the church was named “Wilderness’’ we did not learn, but it is not a wilderness country. It is one of the most beautiful and fertile sections of the State we have seen. The church has no house yet, but hold their services in the day under—not much arbor—but under the trees at the place where they propose to build a house, on a beautiful lot given them. A church was organized last year, under the labors of J. K Sheffield, as missionary, ahd he still preaches there. We hoped to meet him there, but did not, though his father, Rev S. Sheffield, was with us, and we conducted services till Tuesday night, and four were received for baptism. We were suffering from toothache during our visit, still we enjoyed it, and would like to go again. We love to see anything eat that is hungry. We love to preach to hun gry people. To brother Ray and family we are specially under obligations for favors shown us. We got no subscribers, nor did we take any collections, but we expect to hear from there yet, and if we don’t, we think they will hear from us. How we passed through Gainesville, and were superbly treated by Captain Ellis’s daughter—he hurt us himself, but we love him—and it was repeated on our return, (the kind treatment, not the hurting), and how we saw the track of the Florida South ern'railroad finished through the city nearly, and the cars running within a few feet ot the Varnum House and the Arlington—we can’t tell all about that. We have been to Greenville, in Madison county, and enjoyed our visit as well as last year. Hoe could we help it, treated as we were, by Hammerly and Harby and their families, and by sister Tabb, whom we left quite sick. We got some money, too, for State Missions, and every subscriber renewed, and some others will subscribe for The In pex Greenville to Madison, where we met the Board of Missions, made our report and that of our four missionaries, and bad money to pay them and a little over, and the brethren felt good, and we were happy, and so we adjourned to meet next time at Ocala, dur ing th* meeting of our Convention. Madison to Jacksonville, en route to We kiva Association at Orlando, Orange county. Now, dear readers, hold up a little and con dense, boil down, pack together your words for a couple of months, that we and others can “spout” about our Associations. We are going to try to be brief, too, but you cannot imagine how hard it will be. This was the most important meeting of this young Association. Three new’churches had been organized in the Association, and were received into the body, and the Midway Association, in the western part of the coun ty, bad dissolved, and three or four churches came to the Wekiva. The money sent up and collected at the meeting was $136.39. Os this amount $74 42 was forState Missions, and was turned over to the State Board, and about as much pledged, to be paid by Christ mas. The missionary collection Sunday amounted to S2B 35, but not a word was said about missions in the sermon. Chaudoin, B. M. Pack and Dr. Mays were the visiting ministers. The spiritual feeling of the meet ing was a marked feature. Dr. Mays, on Sunday night, preached one of the best ser mons we ever heard. Elder Pack also “crammed” in some good work in talks and sermons. The new officers (both of the former ones absent) did well for the first time—Elder 8. F. Gove, Moderator, and young brother Cul pepper, Clerk. The absence of Elder G C. Powell was felt, and the memory of him tender and beautiful. The court house could not hold the people Sunday and Sunday night. Elder Tindall preached the Introductory sermon, and praised The Index, and quoted from it. Good, but he needs to "put the brakes on.” Elder Hayman was slow, rather, but sure Brother Watson followed him earnest and sensible, but followed too long. Elder Wil son we did not hear, but heard of his sermon —a good report. Brethren Savage, Lawton and Kendrick were not put forward, nor did they put themselves forward like some of us. Our home was with brother Paul B. Jau don, recently from Texas, and we want no better one. God bless him and his dear family. We got a goodly number of new subscri bers and renewals for The Index. Well, it was a right good Index boom. The next meeting will be at Apopka City. We have but one regret tomention; that we do not as a growler, but for the cause, and to make a request, as we will not have time to write to each pastor. There was not one cent reported or collected for Foreign Mis sions. We do beg the pastors to ask for a few dimes or nickels at each church the next meeting after you see this. Try to raise a dollar, at least, from each church for the poor heathen. If we want to be blest at home, we must work some away from home. Don’t forget, brother pastors. Brethren, don’t let your pastor forget this request. W. N. C. VaiOU MEETING. Brother Gibson, Clerk, sent ns proceedings 01 the Fifth District Union of Florida Asso ciation, held at Hopelul church, July sth, Bunday, and two days preceding. Elder D. M. Walker, from the Perry Uns ion, was present, and represented the Board of Ministerial Education. Committee on Order of Business presented the following queries, which were discusser! a >d answered: 1. Is it the duty of the Church to assist in the education of young ministers? Yes; (and old ones, too, by helping them to get papers and books necessary.—En ) 2 Is there any Scriptural authority for missions? Ans. Yes. 3 Is the religious training of our children obligatory upon us as parents and churches? Ana. Yes. , Elders Harns and Frier preached during the meeting. Sunday a collection of $4 25 was taken for ministerial education, and forwarded to D. N. Walker. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1881. Next meeting at Ocklawllla, Friday before the fifth Sunday in October. I The above is a condensed account. It came late, and we only publish the most Important items. —En. BANANA LETTER.-QUERY. DearßbothebChaudoin: As it has been about a year since you heard from me last, I thought I would write agaiu, and ask you why you rejoice more over preachers and deacons marrying than other people? .... Hoping to see you at our Association iu No vember, I am, as ever, your niece, Sue B. Glad to hear from you, dear niece. We are glad when anybody marries, if they do well, but especially so when preachers or deacons marry, because they need a help meet more than others, and we have a “fel low feeling” (which “makes us wondrous' kind”) for those two classes.—Shad. Ashland, Pa., June 3d, 1880. —A case of spavin that came under my observation was entirely cured by one bottle ofyour Kendall’s Spavin Cure, and the horse sold afterwards for two hundred dollars. Yours truly, C. H. B ABN ABD. A Query.—“ Should churches recognize a minister who has been excluded from the church of his membership, and deposed from the ministry, and still continuee to preach ?’’ Querist. 0f course not; and such churches are act ing disorderly, for they are casting reproach upon a sister church who excluded him, and by “bidding him good speed,” are guilty of the crime or wrong he has been guilty of. And if he has been guilty of no crime or wrong before, but has been badly treated, he gets into wrong badly by preaching after being excluded. There is a better or a right way for such a man to pursue, and a man fit to preach will generally pursue a different course —Ed. From eminent Dr. C. C. Clark, Oswego : “ .... I have made sufficient experiment of Colden’s Liebig’s L ! quid Extract of Beef and Tonic Invigorator to enable me to say it is by far the best of all the preparations of the kind (food and tonic) that I have ever used. To the sufferer from chronic diseases, or the convalescent, it is invaluable, being both nourishing and strengthening. (Re member the name, Colden’s—take no other.) Os druggists. ILLUSTRATION. The following illustration we take from a recent letter in the Western Recorder of late date it is rich in thought,—forcible, timely. “The last exhortation to the colonist is, be sure of victory. “In nothing terrified by your adversaries.” says Paul. He uses a very vivid, and some people might think, a very vulgar metaphor here. The word rendered terrified properly refers to a horse shying or plunging at some object. It is generally things half seen and mistaken for something more dreadful than themselves that make horses shy ; and it is usually a half look at adversaries, and a mistaken istimateof their s rrngth, that makes Christians airaid of them. Go up to your fears and speak to them, and as ghosts are said to do, they will generally fadeaway. So we may go into the battle, as the rash French minister said he did into the Franco- German war, with a light heart,” and that for good reasons. We have no reason to fear for ourselves. We have no reason to fear for theark of God. We have no reason to fear for the growth of Christianity in the world. Many good men in this time seem to getting ball'ashamed of the gospel; and some preachers are preaching it in words which seem an apology rather than a creed. Do not let us allow the enemy to overpower our imaginations in that fashion. Do not let us fight as if we expected to be beaten, always casting our eyes over our shoulders, even while we are advancing, to make sure of our retreat, but let us trust our gospel, and trust our king, and let us take to heart the old admonition: “Lift up thy voice with strength ; lift it up, be not afraid.” Such courage is based upon a sure hope. Drunkenness.— Those who have taken Simmons Liver Regulator declare that it sets the liver in action and invigorates the system in such away as to destroy the craving for strong drinks. —Dr. Mays has resigned the care of Taber nacle church, Jacksonville, and removed to Apopka City, where he will teach and preach. We do hope his health will im prove, which was his principal reason for the change. He accomplished much here Andrews' Bazar for September.—This num ber of this sterling journal surpasses anything in the line of fashion papers ever attempted In this country. In addition to its regular contents, with this number is presented a su erb lithographic plate, representing Mrs. Garfield, the Empress of Austria, the Queen of Spain, the Ptincess of Wales, tht Queen of Italy and the Prince s Louise attired in the latest Parisian Fall costumes. This costly feature Is an earnest of the expressed pur pose of the publishers to so perfect Andrews’ Ba zar as to make it emphatically the best paper of its class extant. We would advise our readers to examine the handsome premium offers alsomade in this number. 1 übllshed by the Queen Pub lishing Company, W. R. Andrews, Manager, New York, to whom 10 cents can be sent lor sample copy The Boston Traveler says: “The oil American Hotel, on Chestnutstreet, opposite Independence Hall, Philadelphia, remodeled throughout, has become, under Mr. Plumer's directions, a hostelery of which Philadel phians are justly proud. We know of no hotel on the continet which surpasses “Plu mer’s,” and few that equal it, in the almost extravagant elegance of its appointments.’’ We beg to call the reader’s attention to the advertisement of Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic, which will be found in another column. This medicine is a preparation of Iron and Calisaya bark, in combination with the phosphates, and is indorsed by the medical profession, and recommended by them for Dyspepsia General Debility, Female Com plaints, Want of Vitality, etc. It is manu factured by the Dr. Harter Medicine Compa ny, No. 213 North Main Street, St. Louis, Mo.

Y. j WHA T SHE SHO ULD DO. A FEW SUGGESTIONS OF IMPORTANCE ON A SUBJECT OF INTEREST TO THE LADIES. And certain Facta Which should be Known by all Women. From the Home Journal,-New York. A short time since an article appeared in this paper, being a synopsis of a lecture delivered by a prominent woman before a well-known New England society. This article dealt so directly with the needs of women, and contained so many hints which were valuable, that it naturally attracted no littleattention, and has, we learn, been a subject of comment in social circles in nearly every part of the land. Realizing that no subject can be of more vital import ance, as well as interest to all readers, than - the condition of the women of America, we have collected and prepared with consider able care, additional facts bearing upon the same subject. The ladies of this country have been more observed and talked aboat than those of any other land, and Europeans always notice their characteristics—usually with admira tion. Sara Bernhardt declared she could not see how sny one could resist falling in love with "those pretty Amerioan ladies.” She might have added, that even her far famed French nation would find it difficult to equal, much less excel, American women in quickness of perception and brilliancy of intellect. The minds and manners of Ameri can women are all that can be desired; but it is a lamentable fact that their physical frames are far inferior in comparison with their social and mental characteristics. The wom< n of England are noted for their florid health ; those of Germany for their strong constitutions, and the ladies of France for their exuberance of spirits; but American women possess no one of these qualities in any prominence, and all of them only in a slight degree. The reason for this must be plaiu to every careful observer. Sedentary ways, devotion to fashion—but above all and more th’an all, carelessness and in difference to daily habits and duties, have rendered the women of this land far less strong and healthy than it Is either their duty or privilege to be. This irregular and indiffeieut manner of living brings about the most serious results and is both directly and indirectly of untold injury to the race. The cause, therefore, being manifistly under the control of the women themselves, the power to remove it must naturally be under their control also. American women can possess just as charmed lives as though they lived in Europe or any foreign land, if they only desire and determine to do so. The primary cause of suffering from dis ease is impure blood. The performance of the natural functions of womanhood and motherhood is not a disease, nor should it be treated as such, and to maintain ones health the organs which make and purify the blood must be preserved in, or restor d to, their normal condition. These organs are the kidneys and liver. It is the office of the kidneys to take from the blood the poisonous matter which has been collected from all parts of the body and pass it off from the system. If they are impaired in their action they cannot do this work, the poison accumulates, ail the organs in the body which aresustained by the blood are weakened and give way, and tidally the kidneys and Jcontigious organs become the source of great pain, and without prompt relief death is certain. It is the office of the liver to extract other impurities from the blood aud utilize a por tion of them for digestion. If the liver is disordered all forms of dyspepsia occur, the bowels cannot expel the waste matter and the most distressing inconveniences follow. This is especially true in the case of women. And if the bowels are thus inactiveand over loaded the neighboring organs, which are particularly dependent for their right action upon the state of the liver, bowels and kid - neys, become displaced, and the consequeces which ensue are too well known ti require restatement in a suggestive article of this kind. The secret, however, of preventing these manifold disorders is to keep the kid neys and liver in perfect working condition. This is reason, this is science, and it appeals with force to the suffering women of America. When the body is in a healthy condition then come beauty’ of complexion, elasticity of step, hopefulness of disposition and com fort and happiness in the duties and respon sibilities of a family. There is, therefore, every incentive to secure and preserve buoy ant health. Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy described in the lecture to which reference has been made, is receiving, as it certainly merits, the most careful attention and the trial of the women of the land. It is a pure and simple vegetable remedy which is now doing more to bring health and strength to the American women than any one thing which has ever been discovered. It acts directly upon the liver, kidneys and adjacent organs, soothes any inflammation, allays all pain and places those organs in a condition to bring health to the body and happiness to the life. The manufacturers of this great remedy, as we learn from the lec ture, have the written thanks of thousands of women—many of them of great promin ence—but these letters are very properly 1 regarded as too sacred for publication. No true woman is pleased to have her physical troubles flaunted in the eyes of the world. The unquestionable value of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is all the more manifest from the fact that heretofore no adequate remedy for the ills of women I has ever been discovered; nor have the med ical profession ever been able to assist wo men in her troubles as she deserves. This is, pterbaps, largely due to the presence of so much bigotry and intolerance in that pro fession. The history of medicine is a his tory which illustrates to the fullest the blighting tffect of bigotry and intolerance. Harvey, who discovered the circulation of i the blood, was driven out of England. Jen ner, the fatherof vaccinnation, was oppress ed aud scoffed at. Thompson, the founder of the Thompsonian theory, was the victim i of a hateful conspiracy. Morton, in Massa chusetts, who introduced the use of ether in ■ surgical operations, was charged with witch craft, yet the discoveries of these men are to-day recognized as ofinfinitelbenefit to the race. It is the solemn duty of every physi cian in the land to take advantage of every opportunity which is within his reach; not to promote the interest of this or that school, but to heal the people of their infirmities. All have witnessed death-bed scenes and felt that if skill were tqual to disease death might have been postponed many years ago —that science (if use were made of all the agencies she has revealed) was equal to a cure. How many a time in the experience of all has this been illustrated ! A cold ie oontrac ted, it refuses to yield to a fixed form of treatment, the physician may not be candid enough to call in the aid of other sccbools or of independent agencies, and the dear one dies because the doctor will dot exhaust every expedient known to the world for res lief! If he have the courage of his convic tions and employs outside agencies he is visited with expulsion from the society of his fellows, and, forsooth, becomes what they choose to call a’ quack”. When they have exhausted all the agencies approved by their schools they “shirk the responsibility” of the death of their patient by advising a trip to Colorado or Florida or a voyage to Europe I Such treatment may be in accord ance with the “code of ethics,” but in view of the unprejudiced public it is downright cruelty, if it may not be evtn more strnogly characterized.

STOAKES Milan, Ohio, U. S. A. There is no reason, however, why the women in this land should not possess the best of health and spirits The oharacter of the country,the activity of her surroundings and the opportunities afforded for recover-, ing lost health and retailing the same are greater than those of any other land on the face of the globe By a careful observance ot the plain and simple laws of health; by a watchful care over daily habits and dutits. and by a regulation of the life with the remedy above named, which has become so prominent and valuable, there is no reason why all the desirable things we have men tioned may not be secured in their highest degree. It is therefore a matter of import ance that all women give this subject the attention which it deserves, and the care which they ar.e able to bestow, conscious that their efforts are certain to bring them perfect health and long and happy lives.
