Bethlehem No. 2, at where? November 17th. West Florida,at Marianna, November when? WHERE “WE” HAVE BEEN. We told you last we had been to Lake City and Bethlehem, where we attended the Beulah Association, but we did not tell you how foolishly we behaved, nor would it be necessary to hint it, to those who were there. We do feel ashamed yet, of our be havior. "Would some power the gift tie gie us, To see ourselves as others see us.” From Lake City to Live Oak, where we had a vexatious delay, but we tried to real ise it, and did not get vexed. Thence to DuPont, (or Lawton), No. 12., etc., where there is a nightly delay till noon at night usually—but this time it was till nearly day next morning—and then we were from about 4 o'clock a m. till near noon in the day, going from DuPont to Thomasville, our ob jective point. The engine had become "bel lowsed" or wind broken, and we had to stop, going up every hill and let the thing get breath, or rest. But we got there, be cause we had steam, but without it we would not, it we had bad the most perfect engine Rogers & Co., ever sent out. Yes, so your systems may be perfect, but without steam —love for Jesus and for souls—to run them, you will get no money. Think of that while yon are clamoring for and quacking about system. The most liberal church in Georgia, if not in the South, has the least, the simplest system. Some folks would say it had no system. Thomasville! We love the place, the people, and especially the ladies, and we love to go there, and stay with the young bishop who lets us do as we please at sister P’s. She seems like a child to us in part, and we do love our grandchildren. We can't mention all we love, but next letter we will mention some of the others. We were at Mercer Association, and we did enjoy it. W hat a noble set of men ! What missionaries! Have cultivated their grove or field fill it is nearly self supporting. They gave us money for church building in Florida. They preached us, and preached to us, and how it stirred our soul to hear our old pastor, and one of the best friends we ever had, preach one of the best sermons we ever heard him preach—and this is say ing a good deal —for Dr. Landrum never preaches a poor sermon to us. We loved Rushin before, but we will love him better, and keep on loving him, for the compli went he paid us,—a more pleasing work, we were never unexpectedly called on to do. What greetings we had .' What a hand shake Bei. nett gave us! What a model Moderator he is! Did he ever have the blues ? We met brother Smith for the first time. He preached the introductory ser mon, and it gave universal satisfaction. We saw many others, and notibly some fine looking men, McCants and Manning and Bond, front Florida. We stand up for Florida as well as Georgia. “Whoso hath a horn and bloweth it not, the horn of the same will not be blown”—well not much. We may be trespassing to say so much about the Mercer, and so we quit, and start back, Wednesday night, to Rixford, Suwan nee county. Florida, to attend the Suwannee Baptist Association. We got to Rixford a few minutes after twelve o’clock, Thursday, missing the intro ductory and al —m —o —s —t missed dinner. But we will tell you more of our visit to Antioch at another time. P, S. Everybody loves Teter Grubbs, as hard licks as he strikes. Peter is popular, Well, we left Orlando, Monday, October 3rd, and through the kindness of Elder Gove and the South Florida railroad, it cost us nothing to go to Sandford, where we found the steamer, George M. Bird, waiting the arrival of the train, and by her we (or one of the we’s) were safely landed in Jackson ville Tuesday morning, having had, polite attention, good eating, and sweet sleep, and were charged only half fare. The other we (Rider Pack) left us at Palatka, and we may meet again at Beulah Association at Bethle hem church, near Lake City. Yes, we went to Beulah Association, and did not meet brother Pack, but met quite a number of other friends, Lake City and at the Associa tion at Bethlehem. Rev. W, M. Davis was elected Moderator and Rev. B. R. Moseley, Clerk, after a little talk, by a little to a little crowd, on the importance of little things. A matter of difference between two churches that was referred to the Associa tion, but ought to have been settled some other way, consumed so much of the time of the meeting that the most important items for consideration were almost passed over without notice. Os course the body ad journed Saturday, for something would probably happen if the brethren did not start home Saturday evening or Sunday. Three new churdhes came into the body, making the number some eleven or twelve churches, and others will probably come next year. There were not many baptisms reported. The contributions for missions were rather short, but a good collection was taken on Sunday, and about twenty dollars pledged for the State Boe rd. The drouth has been disastrous over most of the territory of the Association, and there is not much money, but we hope the brethren will let the abundance of their deep poverty abound to the riches of their liberality." Me heard but two sermons, preached by brethren Leitner and Clonts, both of whom did well. Nothing was sent us either for Home or Foreign Boards. We trust it will not be so again. Even at the present meet ing a warm,.large-hearted brother put in our hands $5,00 and we gave each board a part *s it WaS left t 0 US tO PUt R where we tho «gbt . Y1? u P d ® r , s P ecial obligations to brethren Davis, Chalker, Hutchingson and Ellis for favors, and to the family of Judge Crim, an old friend from Dawson, Georgia who has moved to Lake City, or near it We failed to see the Judge, but spent a pleasant night with his family. We were sorry to learn they were not taking The Index'. We did tolerably well for The Index at the Beulah Association. Os the 14,000 Chinese in the Hawaiian islands, 248 have embraced Christianity under the ministry of a Chinese pastor. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1881. NEWS LETTERS. Diab Bbotheb Chaudoin. I want the readers of The Index, who love to hear of good meetings, that as far as I am capable of Judging, we have had a good meeting at Evergreen, Clay county. It commenced on Saturday before the fourth Sunday in Sep tember and closed the second of October. Elder E. B. Timmons was the only minister in attendance. Brother J. Brooker was with us two days and brother I. T. Weston all the time. Brother Timmons labored bard. Prayer was made by the church, in which brother Weston took great inter est. The meeting seemed to be a time of clearing up the forest and prepairing the soil for a great harvest to be gathered in days to come. There was much interest manifested; one was received by letter and two baptized, and one other awaiting the ordinance. The attendance, on account of the rain, was not so good the last two days— the country is very low. Brother Timmons held out well to the close. One of those baptized was a daughter of mine, 18 vears old. May the good work go on. Your brother in the Lord. E. W. Geioeb. Deab Brother Chaudoin : I am just up from a spell of intermittent fever; wife and babies all well. News: Though the churches with which we labor have had no spasmodic revivals, they are going steadily on. I have recently baptized three—one at Elizabeth and two at New Hope. Our meetings at Frankland have been almost a failure the last two months on account of sickness. Our large hearted and heroic sister, Weeks, suffered much by her oldest son being stricken down with a dangerous fever; but thanks to the good Master, after much suffering he has recovered. The next meeting of the Wacasasea Union will be held with the Elizabeth church, which is situated six miles north of Pine Grove. The brethren desire and invite you to come, also brethren Bailey, Davis, or any other ministers who can come. There will be vehicles at Bronson to take them out to the church on Thursday (27th inst.) before the fifth Sabbath in October. Please come, Uncle Shad, if you can. We think Peter Grubbs must have lived here; surely the very people, or characters, are here. Maybe they removed from Scotts ville here, or else human nature is strangely the same everywhere. I hope to writemore soon. Your brother in Christ, W. J. Martin. Fort Fannin, Fla., October 4th, 1881. THE REHOBOTH ASSOCIATION. The Rehoboth Association held its forty fourth session with the church at Hayneville, Houston county. Dr. J. 8. Lawton, was elected Moderator, A. J. Cheves, Clerk, and E. M. Amos, Treasurer. The number of dele gates was smaller than usual, but an earnest spirit, was manifested by those who were present, and the business dispatched with promptness and yet without undue haste The Moderator presided with his accustomed dignity and urbanity. He has a strong bold upon the affections of his brethren ami V is pleasure for them to bestow honors upon one who wears them so worthily and gracefully as Dr. Lawton. I suppose that brethren Cheves and Amos will be re-elected to their respective offices so long as they will consent to serve. Few brethren are more beloved than they. While there were no protracted discussions upon any subject, there were several anima ted and Interesting speeches made. Dr. Law ton made a short but pointed and telling speech In behalf of The Index and the Bio graphical Compendium. The mission report was discussed by brethren Ross, Tharpe and Boykin. Tiie body was not bored with a single long speech. The preaching was spoken of by those who heard It as very good. Brother A. L. Moncrief preached two sermons of great power, beauty and eloquence. His superior as a gospel preacher will be hard to find. Thesermon of Kev. G. B. McCall was also highly com mended. Tire Introductory sermon by broth er Cheves was especially unique and original, that of brother Ross, as usual, full of earnest gospel truth, forcibly delivered. The effort of Sunday afternoon by tire writer was most unsatisfactory to him. A most delightful religious service was held at the house of brother John Rutherford on Sunday night. We have rarely seen more tenderness and religious fervor manifested The hospitality ot the Hayneville brethren and friends was super-abundant There is certainly no more hospitable neighborhood In Georgia. Tbe church Ims been recently repainted and refitted and Isfoue of the most comfortable to find anywhere. Every dele gate was loud In the praise of the Hayneville community. It will be especially gratifying to the Mur row mission to know that It has nearly leached a cash basis. It is probable that there never was a meeting of this Asso ciation, since it began this work, when less was necessary to be said If any man earns thesalary paid him, It Is doubt.ess J. S Mur row. Let us all pray for him and bls work. But let us also remember other fields and contribute to their necessities. It is refreshing to see tire enthusiasm of Thorpe and Ross In behalf of the Indian mission work. It will hardly fall while two such men lead the hosts. b. •—♦ —• ■ > TO CLERKS OF ASSOCIATIONS. Dear Brother We shall be pleased to print the Minutes of your Association this season, and in soliciting the work, we pros raise you that your order will be well and promptly executed. Our appointments now are such as will enable us to prevent delays. Last year, in consequence of necessary re-- pairsand improvements, in the midst of the business season, we were occasionally tardy in filling orders. Now. all is in per fect trim, with ample and improved appli ances. Our book, which contains the Mins utes of every Association printed by us, and making a handsome Baptist work of nearly 1,000 pages—a book whose worth is great, and which Baptists cannot afford to dis pense with—is ready for distribution to brethren Clerks. We prepare a volume of this Baptist History—a record not other wise obtainable—each year, and every Clerk favoring The Index office with his printing, gets a book. We are Baptists, wedded to the cause; our earnings and energies are largely expended in the promotion of our denominational in terests, and we submit that, all else being equal, we should be preferred to outsiders, by our brethren, when printing is to be awarded. With all modem appliances at our com mand, backed by our experience in Baptist printing extending over many years, we do not hesitate to say to you, that we can exe cute such orders more satisfactorily to Bap tists than any other publishing house in our section. Send your Minutes to us. brethren. Fraternally, The Index Publishing Company, From the Catholic Mirror, recognized or gan of the Diocese of Baltimore: “A Revolution in House Painting.—The advertisement of the New Jersey Enamel Pliint Company has been for some time in our columns, and it may seem strange that it is only to-day we call special attention to it. Our reason for this is that we do not like to recommend a new thing unless we know it is good. We were pleased to find that the agent, Mr. C. P. Knight, was of our way of thinking, and wished above all, that the paint should be tested, so that the editor could give his conscientious opinion of its merits. Having had this test made in our household, we have no hesitancy in saying that the Enamel Paint comes up fully to all that is claimed for it. In the country, espe cially, where it is difficult to procure the necessary ingredients for mixing paint, and skillful workmen to apply it, the Enamel I aint will prove invaluable, as it is already prepared, and can be applied by any one possessing ordinary judgment. 'For plain work in private dwellings, churches and schoolhouses, it will prove very economical as well as beautiful. One gallon of this paint will cover twenty square yards, giving two coats. Our friends may safely give it a ) trial without fear of disappointment." REHOBOTH ASSOCIATION. The forty-fourth annual session of this venerable body met at Hayneville, Houston county, on Friday, October 14th, and was called to order by brother Bryan Brown. After reading letters from the churches, the Association was organized by electing Dr. J. 8. Lawton, Moderator, and Rev. A. J. Cheves, Clerk. It is well known to our brethren through out the State, that this Association has been —for a quarter of a century—supporting a missionary among the Indians of the far West. This missionary is our devoted brother, Rev. J. L. Murrow. God has abun dantly blessed his work, and given him many stars in his crown of rejoicing. Scores and hundreds of these red men have “crossed the river” and are standing at the gate wait ing to bid him enter into the Celestial City. Oh, how many, many stars will they add to this good brother's glittering crown ! Brethren of the Rehoboth, don’t forget brother Murrow in your prayers and your contributions. He is in deep affliction on account of his wife. She is now a confirmed invalid. But whilst his heart is full of sor row. he is still doing a grand and glorious work. In his visit to the Association, the writer was met at Perry by our good brother, Rev. Dr. Tharpe, and we spent Thursday nifjht under his hospitable roof, in company with brother Amos, of Forsyth, who is the effi cient Treasurer of the Association. We accompanied Dr. Tharpe, with his kind lady and two daughters, to the prayer meeting of the Perry church. The Doctor is pastor of the church, and is beloved by all his members. We were not a little surprised at seeing so good an attendance at prayer meeting in a town the size of Perry. The church edifice is small, but a beautiful structure, and does great credit to the mem bership. During the session of the Association, we enjoyed greatly the religious exercises. Brother A. J. Cheves preached the Introdue tory sermon Friday night to the satisfaction of all who heard him. Dr. Ross, of Fort Valley; brother Moncrief) of Barnesville; brother George McCall, of Hawkinsville; and brotherT. C. Boykin, ourSunday-scbooi Evangelist, all preached during the session of the Association. Many hearts were made glad during the preaching of these earnest, devoted men of God. One of the most inter esting and soul-stirring occasions was an experience meeting, held at the residence of our brother, John Rutherford, Sunday night. The meeting was opened by brother Tom Boykin in a most earnest and pathetic appeal to Christians. After several prayers and experiences related by the brethren present, and sweet music from the young sisters, we closed, feeling that we were better men and women than when we entered the house ot ; our good brother and sister, Rutherford. The Association was most bountifully and ' elegantly entertained by the people of Hayneville. God bless them; aud may their hearts be as full of the love of God as their homes are of hospitality. J. 8. L. A KNIGHTLY SERVICE. - THE REUNION AT GALVESTON. Baptists who have been cognizant of church matters at Galveston, Texas, forsome years past, will admit that the reunion of i wo noble bodies, separated by a most singuv lar feud, and one, at times, cruel in its inten- I sity, is a work of no small moment. e As a member of the Broadway church, of ' Galveston, the writer can testify to the ex cellencies of both the First and Broadway churches. Some of the most loyal of Christ’s followers have held up the banner of each church, and now that the two standards are intertwined, and float from one stall, we look for future annals which shall record only loyal deeds and loving service for the Master. Dr. Spalding, in accepting the call to Gal veston, takes charge of one of the finest and richest fields in the Southwest. The united churches own the choicest church properties and parsonage in Galveston, and a stately edifice is among the near certainties. Let us all hope, in the removal of our distinguished brother to the Lone Star State, that “stepping Westward” shall be to him “a kind of heav enly destiny,” and that rich clusters may be gathered as he enters this untried vineyard of the coming Lord. DR. S. A. HAYDEN. Our notice of this reunion would be unfair did it’ not record the unselfish labor of the beloved pastor of the Broadway church, and whose tender heart and excellent judgment told him of the beautiful results which should flow from uniting these severedsheep. By preparing and urging this reunion, Dr. Hayden relinquished the pastorship of a church which loved him with unspeakable tenderness. All personal considerations were by him utterly ignored in the advanc ing of Baptist power in Galveston. With a knightly courtesy, having guided the scheme of reunion to complete success, Dr. Hayden stepped modestly aside and bade the rejoic ing ones of the two churches to call another, who would lead them on to future gleanings. And by this act an incomparable pastor, a most winning preacher, a genial and high toned gentleman, bids final farewell to the sweet city which loved him so well. It was well that Galveston struck high when attempting to fill his place. Texas is mellow soil for Christian labor. Mexico cannot long resist the stream of Christianity which shall one day pour down from this State of imperial domain. x J. R. K. Washington, D. C., October 15, 1881. “Big Giant Feed Mills.”—We call the attention of our farming friends to the advertisement of Messrs. J. A. Field & Co., St. Louis, Mo., the manu facturers of these mills, and dealers in all kinds of agricultural implements, St. Louis.
