Ido not think a better invest ment could be made.” So writes Miss A. J. Dennis, a beloved sister at Orion, Ala What a lesson for our own sisters ! Who in Florida will report a dollar for the same work, earned with their own hands ? —We traveled, en route to Leesburg, the 10th of November, with Dr. Woods and family, of St. Louis, Missouri, who selected Apopka City, on account of its healthfulness. and settles there.

He is also holding an extra series of meetings in bis church, assisted by Rev. Dr. Robinson, of Lake Como. The meetings have been held for over a week.

They will continue next week, and further if the interest warrants it.” •'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.

Elder W. T. Gordon, of Jeffersonville. Indiana, and Elder J. H Breaker, from Mis souri, are both in Florida, and will attend our Convention. Brother Cordero may look for them Brother Breaker is a sonsin-law of Rev.

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.” IN MEMOKIAM. Salite Well, r SpaliUnil -BM November ISih, ISSI. 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. Carriages, containing Ihe officiating minis ters, Rev Drs Tucker and a win. Deacons: J. H. Low. J J. McLendon, A. B. Matthews, Edward White. W. B Wynne. Pall bearers: 1 hos J. McGuire, J. M.

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. second baptist sun day-school. 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.
