has remained unoccupied for so long a time,

Lake Como. The meetings have been held
for over a week. Several persons have ex

•'Baptist Union.—Editor Journal: The
Putnam County Baptist Union held an
interesting meeting on the 28th and 29:h of
October, with the Paran Baptist church.
Elder B W. Becks was re elected Moderator
and Mr. 8 E Timmons, Clerk. There were
present Elders E. 8 Timmons, Strickland,
Peck, Gleason and Robinson, ami a consid
erable number of lay delegates, among them
deacons Seigler, of Paran church, Geiger, of
Evergreens, Dr. Mcßea, of Eiiam, and Mrs
George and John Becks, of Peniel, aud others
whose names have escaped our memory.
“ Large and interesting congregat ions were
in attendance. Elder Gleason preached the
opening sermon, and preached a second dis
course on Saturday night. Dr. Robinson
also preached twice. One of the largest mis
sionary collections was taken up, and much
interest felt in the com matid of the Saviour,
who said, “Go ye into all the world and
preach the gospel.” Elders Timmons and
Strickland contributed much to the interest
of the meeting by their spirited remarks in
the disemsion of various topics, and the
Moderator, by his urbanity, sound ruling
and common sense, made the business glide
along pleasantly and efficiently. An inter
esting Sunday school service was held Sab
bath night, which interested the children,
young people and the older persons as well
A numuer of | ersonsseemed to be concerned
about their first steps in religious matters
Altogether the meeting was considered a
success, the ministerial and lay delegates
being well satisfied with the result and the
kind hospitality of the Paran church ladies
Orange groves in that region look well aud
promise a good yield of the popular and
favorite fruit of Florida. We noticed the
grove of Elder Timmons as in good condi
tion. Also Mr. Seigler's, and many others;
aud not only the older groves, but the young
ones were flourishing. The people in the
Paran district do not mean to be behindhand

now famous Citrus family of fruits in Fiori

effect. Results of the meeting as follows:

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1881.
MORE ABOUT TUB CONVENTION.
We have been furnished with Minutes of
the organization and first session of the
Florida Baptist Convention. We append
here Art. 10: * The following are the »i>ecific
of this body, viz: 1 To unite the influence
and pious intelligence of the Baptists within
its bounds, and thereby facilitaietheir union
and co-operation. 2 To fvrn and encourage
plans for the revival of experimental aud
practical religion in the State ami elsewhere.
3 To aid in giving effect to useful plans of
the several Associations. 4. To afford an
opportunity to those who may couscien
tiouslv think it to be their duty to form a
fund for the education of pious young men
who may be called by the Spirit and their
churches to the Christian ministry. 5 And
to promote pious and useful education in the
Baptist denomination.”
Brethren, the above will do to study on
till the meeting at Ocala. Especially do we
invite you to reflect upon the first object, the
second—yes, all the five.
At the second meeting some changes were
made it the fourth Art., so that each Asso
ciation was entitled to ten delegates each
auxiliary society, one delegate for every
twenty dollars contributed to the funds of
the Convention, and each individual con
tributing five dollars is a member. 8o far as
is known to any one to the contrary, these
are now the terms of membership. This
entitles the Associations to more delegates
than any of them appointed. There are
some societies that can send up a delegate
by raising a few dollars more than they have
raised, and several individuals, as Col. Law
ton and brethren Seigler, of Paran church,
aud J. E. Borders, of Leesburg, are now en
titled to seats. Will not the societies at
Madison and Peniel each make a little more
effort and send up a messenger?
Let it be borne in mind that funds con
tributed to Foreign, Home, Indian or State
Missions, or church building, if it has passed
through our bauds as Treasurer, or is sent
up to the Convention, can all be counted as
entitling a society or individual to mem
bership.
We hope to meet at Ocala brethren Gor
don, of Indiana, Barrelle and Woodbury,
fr >m Massachusetts, and Bohaoan, of Ken
tucky. We have frequently had occasion to
note how the brethren of the Masonic fra
ternity go to Jacksonville from all over the
State to the Grand Lodge. Now. they are
helped ; they go not altogether “at their own
charges.” Now, if our churches were as
considerate and zealous as the lodges, and
would even help some, many a brother
would go that otherwise cannot. Just as the
lodges are benefited by representation, so
would the churches be. Who will start the
Work of getting up some funds to help the
pastor pay his way to Ocala, or get him a
new coat or hat? Will the hint be taken ?
“So mote it be ”
Let us see a number of lay brethren at
Ocala; they have as much power and tight
in our Convention as preachers -right to
vote and talk, too- Come and help, for we
preachers do too much of the talking. Will
we not see Chambers. Johnson, Timmons
and other veterans at Ocala, to meet brother
Stanaiand once more? At Alachua Associa
tion were more young men than we have
seen at any Association We hope to see
still more at Ocala. Come up, young breth
ren, and learn. Os course you will not for
get or neglect to write to brother Cordero,
remember his name is John Cordero, —
that you want “ your name in the pot.”

As announced In last week’s issue of The
Indkx. the daughter of Rev. A. T. and Mrs.
Spalding, Hallie Weller Spalding, on the
morning of November 15th, yielded berspbit.
to God, aud entered upon the eternal life of
Heaven. She was ill of typhoid fever about
lour weeks, bearing her sufferings with the
meekness and gentleness which were such
conspicuous traits of her lovely character.
Her passing away was serene and tender;
she laded as the twilight of the dawn lades
Into the full glory of Hie risen sun. To her
inspired soul it was but a step from the dark
ness of sickness and death to the meridian
splendor of the open heavens. Folded in her
Savior’s arms she did not reel the momentary
translation until her spirit's eyes opened
upon the blazing glories of the ' ity of God,
and her cherub lips had been touched by holy
tire from ofl the altar oi lire Celestial Sanc
tuary.
Touching expressions of sorrow and sym
pathy were manifested throughoutourentlre
community This tender feeling was particu
larly emplias zed by the large number ol peo
ple present at the residence of Dr. Spalding
and during the funeral exercises at the
church, and at the grave.
AT THE KESIDBSCK.
The beautiful casket, through the glass lid
of which Hie precious remains of ‘.he darling
child could be seen in full, was adorned with
sweet and emblematic flowers. The broken
illy of the household lay amid a garniture of
rare aud lovely flowers, fairer than all, with
the light of Heaven upon her face, and its
blessed peace in her pulseless heart.
Many a tearful eye looked upon thebeautl
lul sceue with solemn and unutterable
thoughts
Wednesday morning the sad concourse of
friends gathered again. The casket was
closed, and the long procession of mourners
slowly moved,, from Hie residence to the
Second Baptist church in the 10l low I ng order.

ters, Rev Drs Tucker and a win. Deacons:

Hearse The family, t-'enaior Brown and
family. Friends aud acquaintances. The
casket was carried to the place prepared for it
in the Sunday-school room, in the basement
of the church, a place sacred to her memory,
which her feet bad so often sought to gain
knowledge of her Re teenier, and to imbibe
from her teacher's lips the spirit of divine
wisdom and love.
AT THE CHURCH.
Here, only a few days before, Dr. Spalding
ha : been surrounded by his people, receiving
their congratulations, their kind words and
friendly remembrances. Here be stood again,
a mourner, surrounded by his sympathizing
people, to bear his part in the solemn and
impressive funeral rit- s over the dust of his
betoved child. The building was still adorned
with the garlands used on the previous social
occasion, ilie lading adornments deepening
the Impressiveness of the funereal scene.
Drs Tucker aud Gwin conducted the servi
ces There were also present Revs. Hornady
and Norcross, and Dr. Evans, pastor ot the
First M K church, and other prominent
members of our city church as A large num
ber of Sunday-school scholars were also
present.
The services were opened by the singing of
byinn 915, ‘‘.Spiritual songs,” by the choir.
We subjoin briefly someol Hie leading ideas
ot Dr. Tucker's touching and tender remarks.
He said : Our dear brother, who has so often
talked to us and consoled us, now comes to
us for sympathy and words ol consolation.
This Is a sad scene, but there is a bright side
to this cloud of darkness. In the lite of the
dear cuild that has passed away are many
Incidents calculated to comfort aud bless us;
but let us look into this sacred volume for
comfort and gladness in this hour of affliction.
Dr Tucker then read portions of Hie .Scrip
tures, beginning with the experience of Da
vid : “I was brought low aud tie helped me;”
‘‘The Lord has ctiasb ned me, but lie has not
given me over to death ; ” “ Before 1 was
afflicted I went astray, but now 1 have kept
Hie word,” etc. The speaker said ; The L< id
knows what is best tor us. Our destiny Is in
bis bands. Those that are near and dear to
us we cling to and retuse to give up; but. the
Lord's unerring wisdom makes the choice
In wisdom and love lie doeth -II things. The
Bible is our untailing support in sorrow, our
light in Hie gloom of affliction. In lile and
death oui consolation. ’1 be child Is not dead.
She lives beyond. We will go to her in due
time. Affliction Is a wise teacher. It makes
the heart tenderer, and more impressible to
heavenly Influences. We learn thereby the
Lo d's statutes The Lord’s judgments are
right ; lie Is faithful, loving, lender. “He that
loveth Ills son and daughter more than me, is
not worthy of me,” salth our Savior. This Is
another profound lesson, bidding us not to
set our affections on earthly things. Again,
the Savior says; “ Ye believe In God, believe
also In me. In my father's bouse are many
mansions,” etc. Here is consolation for our
afflictions. It tells us of our eternal home,
and the place prepared for them that love
him. eternal in the heavens “1 *m the true
vine” was spoken by the Savior that the
C reclous fruit theieon—our souls -might not
e token away suddenly and unprepared, It
was not so with Sallie; she had consecrated
her heart to the Havlor. Young as sue was,
she had made a credible prolesslou ot her
faith In Jesus Christ several years ago, and
had desired baptism at her father's hands,
but, In view of her extreme youth, he had
delayed the discharge of tt at duty-wlsely we
think,—and now she has passed away. It Is
matter of rejoicing that she had rec“lvod the
better baptism of the Spirit For onr “ light
aliilctlouß," borne In a childlike spirit of
faith shall be exchanged for an “exceeding
and eternal weight of glorythis being so,
we should rejoice In his chastenlugs, aud feel
all the better because of them. Let us re
member that “God shall wipe away all tears
from tneir eyes.” from the eyes of his loving
children. In this sublime faith let us abide
evermore.
Following Dr Tucker's impressive address,
Dr. Gwin arose and paid a heartfelt tribute to
the child He said In substance: Hhewasa
most remarkable child. If her biography
were written, It would disclose a ministry for
CnHstas humbly ano faithfully discharged
as any ever performed by man. Achlld may
be a divine Instrument In the hands of God
1 am so glad to s-e so many children here to
day, her companions In the school and the
Sunday-school class. 1 want to Impressupon
the children hero the character of their de
parted companion, so beautiful and Instruc
tive. Gue of Hie most precious Jewels ol her
rare character was truthfulness. Truthful
ness, dear children, is the foundation stone
of character. Sallle Spalding never, In the
slightest degree, deviated from the highest
standard of truth What a beautiful record
Is this! Again, very early In her young life
she gave her heart to Jesus. I believe that
children are often converted at a tender age.
aud give bright evidence of being children of
God. Faith may lead them to him. In my
opinion .faille was not only regenerated, but
au humble and true disciple; a practical
Christian, faithful, loving, trusting.
She was ever obedient to her parents, at
home and away from home, in obeying them
she obeyed God. This is the teaching of our
Savior. A most loving-hearted child, her
parents, and all about her, were embraced by
Hie teudrl s of her affection. During her
sickness she would say: ‘Dear Papa, I am
afraid lam giving so such trouble” Even
In her own severe trial she was solicitous of
the welfare of others. She was full of sympa
thy and forgetful ot self -this is love. " Dear
children,'' exclaimed the speaker, "I am
glad, 1 am proud of tills privilege to unfold lo
your minds this child’s blessed ministry dur
ing her brief pilgrimage on earth ; for it was
Indeed a blessed ministry. I will tell you au
Incident: The venerable grandmother of Sal
ne was a member of the hcus'.hoid Every
night, before retiring she would go to her
grand mothers room and ask her whether she
wanted anything saying, "11 you do, call me
and I will come.” Nobody told her to do
tills; It was the spontaneous outpouring of
her loving, tender heart. This element was
shown in all her Intercourse; her teachers
bear testimony to the fact. She was a Utile
gentlewoman. Her brief life was redolent
with sets of charity, patience, love and sym
pathy. Nay, rather, her lile was a long one,
measured by her deeds of Chrls:l m duty and
pureiiearled affection. Life is not measured
by years alone, but by noble deeds—such lives
never die. There is a wise providence in the
death ol the young.
The speaker sought to Impress the shining
traits oi this beloved child, whom God had
taken to himself, upon the hearts of the
ch Idren before him. Be truthful, gentle,
loving, good. Trust in Jesus. Remember the
story of the Cross, and the Savior's lessous, as
Hallie did. Imitate her example. Letoldand
young cherish the simplicity of this child’s
laitli in Christ. As to the bereaved family,
the speaker said, he could not speak all he
felt. "Bill.” said he, “dear brother and fami
ly, we pray for you ; we ask God to soften
your grief, tosustatn you with hlsev. Hasting
arms. We will remember your ministry
among us. Our love and friendship shall go
out with you to the new Held In the distant
State, whereto the Lord has called you to
labor for him But, however divided we may
be here, we shall again be gathered together
hereafter in the land ol Eternal Life. Dr
Spalding, in this the last act ot his ministry
in our community, giving us the dust of ills
beloved child to keep, has crowned thereby
his love for us. This legacy of his will preach
to us, for years to come, more powerfully anil
beautiful y than any sermon ever preached
by him from this pulpit. The prayers of our
entire people go with him and Ills family.
Dining Dr. Gwin's remarks Hie congrega
tion was deeply affected. Thereupon Hie re
in .ins were conveyed to rest in the sacred
dust of Oakland Ceintery, and placed beside
the ashes of loved on, s gone before, but now
in death nulled forever. Precious to our peo
pie will be the spot wherein these ashes rest,
awaiting the glad summonsof the archangel’s
trumpet on the day of resurrection.

At the close of the exercises of the school,
last Sunday, a short time was devoted to me
morial exercises. Superintendent T. J. Mc-
Guire announced the object of the meeting,
and the school sing the beautiful hymn “Shall
we gladly meet." At the conclusion ol the sing
ing, brother McGuire spoke brilfly and appro
priately as follows of the beloved dead:
I file never knew a child'more generally beloved.
Personally, he cherished for her a warm alt c
don, feeling a deeper interest in her than per
haps any other child of his acquaintance. Her
womanly bearing marked her as a little lady
wherever she went. lu her class at the S.bbath
sehool and at home, she was treated with defer
ence Her vacant seat she will never occupy
again, aud we will miss her. She has returned
unto rest The jubilee of eternity has begun for
her, and should God, in His infinite mercy, per
mit us to join the rausouied throng, I doubt r ot
we will see her as one of the weetest angels
around the great white throne. She closely imi
tated the example of Him who gave His life for
her.
Brother John T. P ndl-ton then offered the fol
lowing resolutions asexpressive of the feelings of
the school, which were adopted:
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
It has pleased our Heavenly Father to take
from our midst our dearly beloWd little sister,
Sallie Weller Spalding, who departed this life
Tuesday. November the 15th, after a short life of
loving devotion to those around her, and simple,
sweet faith in her Savior, she gave ample testi
mony oi conversion about two years ago, and her
daily service has since borne ample wl nessto her
earnest purpose of living for Cnrist. From ear
liest chi.dhood until God called her home, she
was a regular attendant at the Sabbath school.
Her delight seemed to be iu holy things; her
whole life poiuted heavenward: and the tender
Shepherd ook her early into the confines ol His
peaceful fold, wh re no rudestorms ever come to
disturb the sweet repose of His lambs. Her lov
ing. gentle manner was but the outgrowth of her
warm pure heart. Every one who knew her,
loved her. Parents pointed her out to their
children as a model. She was always useful,
dutiful and obedient to father and mother. Her
pr. sence was line the fragrance of a sweet flower
in the household unselfishly opening its pute
lesves to all.
We will miss her bright face from among us,
and our unbidden tears tell how sadly we
mourn our loss. Wetrust that her death may be
sanctified to the good of those who are left here
below. Her example should be ever before us,
inciting us to more lovely words and deeds, au i
pointing us eloquently to the bright eternity
into which she has entered.
Resolved, That we deeply and sincerely sympa
thize with the afflicted family, aud commend
them to the loving kindness of God.
Resolved.That.this testimonial be put upon the
minutes ol the ichool and, a copy ba furnished
the family of our deceased sister.
Resolved, That a copy be also sent to The
Christi -n Index lor publication.
Brother J. T. Pendleton said he could k
confidently of two things concerning Sallie Spald
ing. II -r politeness aud her good hope of salva
tion. She was extremely polite aud courteous
for one of her tender years. In the meetings
which we have often held In this room ou Sub
bath afternoons .lor the children, I have beard
her relate the most satisfactory Christian experi
enc ■. If the redeemed In heaven partake any
thing of the b .aulies of person, mind and heart,
which they possessed in this life, she is to-duy
one of the most lovely of that throng who cast
their crowns before lhe Savior’s feet. She was
tire member of a happy home here, but heaven
is a home of far more happinek". she was loved
hereby father, mother and friends,but the love
of her Savior is far greater than the love of these.
We have occasion, therefore, to rejoice.
Iu conclusion the school sang the touching
hymn “Summerland.” and with the sweet and
hopeful sentiment of the hymn inthebearts of
all, and the memory of t”eirdear, angel compan
ion in their souls, the school and audience were
dismissed.
