THE STATE CONVENTION.
The next session commences Thursday,
December Bth, 1881, at Ocala, Marion county.
The only railroad running to the place is
the Waldo branch, or Peninsula road, which
leaves the Transit road at Waldo at two or
three o'clock in the afternoon, and arrives
at Ocala about night. Delegates must get
there Wednesday evening, or they will miss
Thurday's session.
A boat leaves Leesburg Wednesday at four
o'clock, and connects with the railroad at
Silver Spring Thursday morning, by which
delegates coming that way can get to Ocala
in ample time.
We trust it will be the largest meeting ever
seen of the Convention. All the Associa
tions, so far as we have heard, appointed
delegates, and those yet to meet doubtless
will. Then we trust that a goodly number
of churches will send one or more members,
and individuals, too, will attend, we hope,
as members, as the amount required to seat
a delegate is only $3 00. The money is used
in meeting necessary expenses first, and the
balance in mission work.
We do entreat the brethren to come pre
pared to remain till morning at least. Try
not to come with a nervous fit on you to get
back. It is only once a year the Convention
meets, and you may never attend another.
You need not be afraid of taxing Ocala, or
'eating it out.” A more liberal, cordial
people you never saw. There is every pros-,
pect of having more visitors than ever be
fore. Already we are advised of brethren
from Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia. Do
not, bri Florida, let them come and
out-number us.
Matters of importance, more so than usual,
will engage our attention, especially the
work of State missions. The question of
start ing a Baptist paper is tai ked of by some,
and a free talk about the matter might or
will be useful, let results be what they may.
It is a matter we are all interested in—all
over the State. Begin now to get ready to
come to Ocala.

WHERE “WE" HAVE VEEN.
We left you, dear readers, at the Suwannee
Association, near Rixford, but just on our
arrival, and we did not tell that Elder M. A
Clouts was elected Moderator, and we hardly
remember now, how many for Clerk, till at
last brother Lee consented to serve. Well,
the machinery needed greasing evidently,
for things jerked and seemed out of fix.
Attendance on Thursday thin, so very
thin that nothing was gained much as to
time in meeting on that day. A good deal of
time lost on Friday, reading letters that did
not arrive on Thursday, and there was not
material enough to fix up committees.
Toward noon Friday a goodly audience had
assembled and the churches were pretty well
represented.
Brother M. H Frier, of Florida Associa
tion, preached Friday and “we” broke up
the meeting for him and then we ate dinner.
We bad the opportunity of making a state'
mein for the Slate Board, and received a
good voluntary contribution for State mis-,
sions. We represented The Index, “Kind
Words" and t'Child's Gem.” We are not
going to tell you how many subscribers we
got, and you need not ask, but we got the
money to continue The Index to sister
Ooates.
We have a pleasant recollection of our
visit to brother Bii .son, and the more pleas
ant because it brought to mind the sweet
associations with another branch of the
family in Georgia. We did think it looked
like “cold comfort” though, as we passed by
Thursday and he was at home, and so near
the church, and we have not quit thinking
so.
One of the oldest delegates to the meeting
(Peter Grubbs says we ought to say messen-
Sers, and that is right,) was brother T. R.
fercer, a son of Rev. Joshua, and a nephew
o’ Jesse Merctr, of Georgia. The old brother
is active for one of his age, and made an
earnest, vigorous speech in the Association.
We went to Live Oak and preached to a
“wee” audience at night, and enjoyed a visit
to sister Pashley and had a pleasant inter
view with her son, a zealous young minis
ter, and with brother Caldwell, of Jasper.
At the lonely, midnight hour, we took the
train for Jacksonville, en route to the St.
Johns River Association, and so we know
no more to tell about the Suwannee Associa
tion, and we would rather not undertake
to tell what we don’t know about it.
At Jacksonville we embarked on the
steamer Rosa, for Picolatta, as we thought,
but that turned out like a good deal of our
thinking—wrong. To get off atTocoi was the
best that could be done. Leave Jacksonville
at 1 o’clock p. m., we thought, but we left
after supper, end so were put off at Tocoi
about midnight. We felt lonely all over,
might have to take rooms at Sprawls’ but
got a place to rest and sleep, and much did
we need both. Sunday morning we did not
g-t up early,—rested and slept,—but event
u il'y got up, prepared for, and waited to be
called to breakfast by the "colored sister,”
who furnishes tramps a place to rest, but no
grub. The delusion was broken about 9
o’clock, and we started on foot, like our
Master generally traveled in Judea, to find
Osceola church, and after walking seven
miles we found it Yes, and dear reader, it
was an era in our history—one of our
grandest successes, for we never took one
wrong step or made a mistake. We believe
in the preservation of the saints, till they get
to glory, stronger now. The Lord led us or
directed our steps to Osceola, of course he
did, and he can lead us to heaven and we
are happy in the thought that he will do it.
We got to the Association, and right here
we rest a while, for we need it nearly as
much as that day when we got to Osceola;
and you may read wbat a messenger and
newcomer to our State says about the St.
Johns Baptist Association in the Journal:
"The St. Johns Baptist Association met
with the Osceola Baptist church on the 15th
inst., and continued its meeting until Mon
day evening. 17th.
"Rev. B. W. Becks was elected Moderator
for the second time, and 8. E. Timmons was
made Clerk.
"There were present: Elders E. B. Tim
mons, Becks, Willis, Robinson, Glisson,
Bassford. Chaudoin, Thomas and Dias.
"Harmony, interest and great nlgious
fervor prevailed. The Association has been
organized about four years, and is increasing
in numbers, intellectual and moral stamina,
and is exerting an influence all over the
region it takes under its supervision.
"Most excellent discourses were delivered
by father Timmons, on "Mission;” Elder
Chaudoin, State Missionary Secretary, on
“Personal Religion and Benevolence;’ M.
Willis on the practical theme of "True Piety
and Doing Good;” Mr. Glisson, on “ L’be Sin
of Idle Words;” Dr. Robinson, on "The
Character of Christ, and the Power of His
Influence in the World."
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1881.
"The members of the Association acted as
if they were abreast with the progress of the
day in all the advancing Christian activities:
Sunday schools, the temperance question,
the subject of home and foreign missions, a
proper religious literature for the rising
generation and even the adult, were dis
cusied, and provisions made for their ad'
xancenent and dissemination.
“A moot successful Sabbath-school mass
meeting was held on the Sabbath, conducted
by the Moderator and Mr. W. D. Ashton,
Superintendent of the school. To this con'
summation Dr. Fisk, of Picolata, had greatly
contributed by bis previous labors in con
nection with the - Superintendent of the
school.
"Visiting brethren lent much interest to
the meeting, especially Rev. W. N. Chau
doin, of the Missionary State Board, who
resides in Jacksonville, and also a Mr. Star,
a layman, from Cortland county, N. Y.
"The Association embraces all the
churches in St. Johns, Putnam and Volusia
counties, and numbers about nineteen
churches in all, taking in a few churches in
Clay county. The Association employs two
missionaries, who visit, under an annually
appointed board, a large number of destitute
portions of the work. This board consists of
Elder Becks and brethren Bell, McCrider,
Fraser and Brooker.
“The Association dropped from their for
raer name the word ’North,’ and made it
the ‘St. Johns Association,’ as it now em
braces a larger territory than formerly.
“The Association adjourned Monday
afternoon, to meet with the Pasan church,
in Putnam county, next year, on Saturday
before the third Sabbath in October.
“A. H. Robinson.”
We call attention, to one slight error in
brother R.’s well-written account, viz: that
all the churches in Volusia county are in the
Association. Most of them are, but not all.
Nor need much be said in addition. We
would emphasize what brother R said of
that Sunday school exercise. It excelled
anything we have met in the way of Sunday
school teaching. A series of questions and
answers, involving our denominational
features and history, that was extensive, had
been arranged, and the answers, in the main
correct, were given by boys from 50 or 60
years old down to lads. In this work Dr.
Fisk and Miss Bell should be especially
mentioned.
Wbat a work for the Master and for hu
manity has been done there by our faithful
brother Becks! And by easnestness and
consistency of life, he has a bold on the love
and respect of the people beautiful to behold.
And bow it cheered us to hear the testimony
borne by Dr. Fisk to the usefulness of brother
B.'s labors ! How we love to meet a Chris
tian that recognizes denominational differ
ences, but yet does not allow it to affect
Christian fellowship 1 Such a Christian (and
minister, too,) is Rev. Stephen Fisk, M. D ,
of Picolata, a Presbyterian clergyman. His
assistance rendered, and courtesies shown,
during the meeting, were grand and princely,
and Mrs. F. was equally as cordial. The
Lord bless them. We were never at Ocala
before, but, the Lord willing, we will go
back.
The Index is increasing its list on the east
of the St. Johns river, and we beg the breth
ren to help run it up higher. “So mote it
be.”—Ed.
FACTS AND FI CUFFS.

good meeting, and received two for baptism.
The brethren have waked up on the subject
of missions, and have adopted the system of
monthly contributions for missions.”
Cheering facts from brother Proctor and
Hopeful church.
—We are pained by the announcement, in
the Union, of the death of Judge Bishop,
brother of our brother P. P Bishop. We
never saw him but once, but have never
forgotten him.
—Sister Hughes, of Webster, is convales'
cent, we learn. God spare her, we pray, to
help her husband.
—You wrote brother John Cordero your
name on a postal card? That was right.
Your name and his was better than a letter.
—Brother Scruggs, of Jacksonville, has
been quite sick, but is slowly improving,
and we hope will soon be strong again.
—Are you praying for the Convention to
be a blessing to the messengers, the church
at Ocala, and to the cause of Christ ?
—Brother Spivey, of Stewart county, Ga.,
has a sister in Florida, and talks of bringing
his pastor, brother Fackler, with him to our
Convention, and visit his sister. Will not
others do so?
—Where will the Convention meet in 1882?
Who will ask for it?
—All the members of the State Board, and
all our missionaries are requested, if possi
ble, to attend the Convention. Please note
this, members of the Board, for we will not
have time to write you. Let there be a full
meeting at Ocala.
FLORIDA ASSOCIATION.
Dear Brother Chaudoin : Owing to press
of business, I have been unable before this
to write you about our doings at the Florida
Baptist Association; but the old adage,
"better late than never,” I presume, will
hold good in this case, especially as I have
something good to communicate.
Our Association, according to appoint'
ment, assembled with the Perry church, in
Taylor county, (which, by the way, is a
thriving little town, the county site of Tay
lor county). We met a whole-souled set of
citizens and brethren, who vied with each
other to make our stay pleasant.
The Association was permanently organ
ized on the election, by acclamation, of
myself as Mo lerator, and brother H. B. Gib
son, of Madison, as Clerk. We had the most
harmonious session it has ever been my
pleasure to witness, and I trust much good
was done by the body.
Brother Proctor talked Index for us, and
well did he represent it to the people.
I gave a talk for our infant Board, and
proposed a collection to be taken up right
then for its aid for State Missions. I was
followed by an able speech from that old war
horse, D. M- Walker, when impulsive Mc-
Cants jumped up and planked down a dollar
on the table, accompanied by a stirring
speech, and the collection commenced, which
resulted in the sum of nine dollars and
twenty'flve cents. It was handed to me to
forward to you, and, it all being silver, is too
heavy to send by mail, so I added 75 cents
more to it myself, and enclose you in this
$lO for our State Mission Board, and may
the blessing of God attend it.
We were sorely disappointed in not meet
ing you, and I heard the query on many
lips, "Where is Uncle Shad: we want to see
him?’’ But alas, you didn’t come. We
hope for better luck next time.
We had double service on Sunday, brother
Manning preaching at the court house, and
brother McCants at the church. I remained
at the church to hear brother McCants; my
wife went to the court house to hear brother
Manning, and she was completely carried
away by his sermon, and said if she hid
had a hundred dollars, and had wanted a
" love of a bonnet ” ever so bad, she would
have put it all in the hat when it was passed
around for the collection.
Thinking that possibly my letter may get
too long, I will close by saying hurrah for
us and success to you, The Index, and the
State Board.
Respectfully and fraternally yours,
James H Wentworth.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
By the President of the United Stales of America :
A PROCLAMATION.
It has long been the pious custom of our
people, with the closing of the year, to look
back upon the blessings brought to them in
ibe changing course of the seasons, and to
retu-n thanks to the all-giving source from
whom they flow. And although at this pe
nod, when the falling leaf admonishes us
that the time of uui sacred duty is at hand,
our Nation still lies in the shadow of a great
bereavement, and the mourning which has
tilled our hearts still finds its sorrowful ex
pression toward the God before whom we
but lately bowed in grief and supplication)
yet the countless benefits which have been
showered upon us during the past twelve
months call for our fervent gratitude, and
make it fitting that we should rejoice with
tuanqtulnessthat the Lord in His infinite
mercy has most signally favored our country
and our people Peace without and pros
lierity within has been vouchsafed to us ; no
pestilence has visited our shores; the abun
dant privileges of freedom which our fathers
left us in their wisdom, are still our in
creasing heritage and if, in parts of our vast
domain some affliction has visited our
brethren in their forest homes, yet even this
calamity has been tempered and in a man -
ner sanctified by the generous compassion
lor the sufferers which has been called forth
throughout our land. For all these things
it is meet that the voice of the Nation should
go up to God in devout homage. Where
fore I. Chester A. Arthur. President of the
United States, do recommend that all the
people observe Thursday, the 24th day of
November instant, as a day of National
ttiai.ksgiving and prayer, by ceasing, so far
as they may, from their secular labors and
meeting in their several places for worship,
there to join in ascribing honor and praises
to Almighty God, whose goodness has been
so manifest in our history and in our lives,
and offering earnest prayer that His bounties
may continue to us and to our children.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the City of
Washington, this fourth day of November,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-one, and of the Inde
pendence of the United States the one
hundredth and sixth.
Chisteb A. Arthub.

For the last eighteen months I have used exclu
sively the “Georgia Red” MbtaucPaint, manu
factured by the GEORGIA PAINT COMPANY,
for painting the freight cars of this Railroad; and,
after a full and severe test of its merits, have
found It fully equal in durability, and superior
in color and covering quality to any similar Paint
I have seen used. 1 shall continue to use it in
preference to all others, and have no hesitation
in recommending it to all who need a permanent
Paint for roofs or any outside work.
