WAlTS.—Resolved Ist. That we
the members of East Atlanta Baptist
church do hereby assemble ourselves
together as a body to pay last tribute
of respect to our beloved Brother
John S. Waits whom the relentless
hand of death has seen tit to remove
from among us.
2nd. That in the death of Brother
Waits, our church has lost one of its
truest members who was at all times
ready to discharge his duties holding
official positions among us, faithfully
did he serve us at the same time, as
Deacon and treasurer, battling also
for the cause of the Master. His
remains now lie in Oakland ceme
tery ; but ah! We have no fears but
that his spirit has been wafted up to
a bright homo where it heard the
welcome plaudit, “Come ye in ye
blessed of my Father.”
3rd. That we tender our most pro
found sympathy to his family, his
mother and relatives in the sad be
reavement and trust that they will
take courage and be submissive to
the will of our Father, as our
brother has only crossed over the
river where he ever liveth and is
waiting for the arrival of loved ones
left behind.
4th. That this tribute of respect be
published iu the Christian Index
and a copy be sent to the bereaved
family. C. H. Smith,
Thomas Blackman,
G. W. Lindsey,
P. D. Bradley,
Committee.
MORRIS.—Death has taken away
our “Father in, Israel”—Deacen 11.
G. Morris.
He was born in Hall county, Ga.,
A'. D. 1842, died November 11th,
1892. Aged 50 years. Father Mor
ris was for many years a very conse
crated member of the Baptist church.
Was a very active Sunday-school
Oh ! how his soul did de
light to gather the little ones into
the Sunday-school, and to hear them
sing the sweet songs of Zion, and to
strive to lead them to Jesus.
He was for several years a licensed
minister. He rarely tried to preach,
but constantly exhorted his friends
to greater zeaj and activity in the
cause of Christ.
He was a great sufferer before his
death; lingering about forty days,
the moat of th>Mhne in great pain,
but he often his resigna
tion to the Lord’s )vill, and frequent
ly spoke of “going.home to suffer no
more.” He seemed anxious for the
summons. When the end came he
died in great peace. When we saw
his last smile we thought of Stephen,
who when dying looked steadfastly
into heaven saying, “I see Jesus.”
No doubt he saw the Lord whom he
had served so long.
G. B. Boman.

1 4th, the following resolutions were
presented and adopted. Resolved,
1. That since it has pleased the
All Wise Disposer of events to re
move from our midst our sister, Mrs.
M. L. Blanchard, that while we bow
submissively to the Divine Will, yet
we mourn the loss of one of our most
earnest and efficient members, whose
presence wo shall sadly miss, and
whose Christian spirit we trust will
serve as an inspirations to us.
2. That we tender to her bereaved
family our heart felt sympathy, and
earnestly pray that the God of all
grace will comfort them in their sore
o
affliction.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to our brother, Mr. Blanchard
and also to the Index.

IRVIN.—Died at her home in
Concord Pike County, Ga., March
18th. 1892. Mrs. N. O. Irvin in the
79th year of her ago. Sister Irvin
was truly a mother in Israel. She
was a member of the Missiodary
Baptist Church for fifty years, hav
ing joined in early life. She was
faithful to her church as long as
health admitted.
In her latter days she was very
much afflicted, but bore her affliction
with Christian patience. She was
left to be cared for by fond Children,
vho was often by her bedside, and
Especially a loving daughter who re
sided with her, and was fafthful by
day and night in ministering to her
necesities. ,
The loss of her husband who was
suddenly and violently taken away
several years ago, left her with quite
a responsibility upon her head and
heart. A young family to rear under
very trying circumstances. But feel
ing that it was a trust her heavenly
Father had committed to her care, as

FULLER.—Miss Sallie Fuller, one
mote of the sweet flowers has been
plucked from our garden at Harmony,
to beautify the paradise of God, and
to adorn the crown of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Sister Sallie was born
in Butts county May Sth, 1867, and
at the age of nineteen was happily
converted and baptized by the Rev.
S. W. Arnold into the Alcova Bap
tist church 1885. Since which time,
she united with Harmony Baptist
church near Monroe, Ga., and was
one of our most devoted, loving and
consecrated members. On Dec. 23,
1891, after a long protracted illness of
25 days with typhoid pneumonia
fever, she passed away without a
struggle. She called her father,
mother and loved ones to her bed
side, and told them to meet her in
heaven, said she was not afraid to die,
and there was a crown in heaven
awaiting her ; told them all good bye,
till we meet again. She wanted to
sing, death is only a dream, but could
not remember the words. She re
quested Bro. McCutchen to preach
the funeral, kissed her father and fell
asleep iu Christ. Asleep in Jesus
blessed sleep: Her last words and
testimony of the many and loved
ones all speak as to her happy state
in death and Christian walk in life.
Read before the church in confer

OUR’HAVANA” LETTER.
The following letter is from broth
er J. S. Paine, of Boston. Brother
Paine is a first-class business man, the
head of a large furniture establish
ment in that city. He goes to Ha
vana every winter for the benefit of
his wife, who is an invalid. He is
more thoroughly informed as to our
work in Havana than any member of
the Board can be. His annual visits,
his protracted stay, his fine business
sense and his earnest piety make his
opinions of great value.
Some weeks ago, I wrote him ask
ing him to give me his judgment as
to the work—how it was progressing,
what improvements might bo made,
and whether the time had come for
extension into other parts of the Is
land. We give the readers of The
Index bis reply.
I. T. Tichenor.
Havana, March 22, 1892.
Rev. Dr. Tichenor:
Dear Sir—l am glad to report
good tidings of your noble Christian
work in Havana, through those Bap
tist churches. Wc have been here a
little more than a month, and have
examined the work pretty thoroughly
in all its departments. The church
building is well situated and adapted
to the needs of aggressive work.
The change of the stage to a baptis
try, with running water, and a preach
ing platform of ample size, gives a
very imposing appearance from the
entrance. This change gives three
large rooms in the rear for a school
sleeping and work for the Seminary
girls who occupy for music, study and
recitation nearly all tho other rooms
except the Auditorium. Tho school
is fast filling with bright, intelligent
girls to be fitted for teachers.
The congregations in tho church
are much larger than last year, and
Mr. Diaz holds their attention re
markably by his powerful preaching.
The schools and missions of the out
stations have increased greatly in
numbers since last season. The or
der is good, and those in charge seem
fully competent for and devoted to
their work, which is carried on in
a systematic and business like way as
far as I can judge.
The Cemetery has been enlarged,
and is now an advantage to the fi
nances as well as for the use of the
church. This source of income,
which must increase, helps to carry
on the school and church to a large
extent. It is now considered by the
Spanish Government as a lawful in
stitution, and is kept in its appoint
ments and sanitary regulations ac
cording to law. One cannot but see
that if they had more money they
could enlarge their ways of useful
ness that are opening very fast.
Some of the missionaries are quite
poor—their rents must be paid wheth
er they have food and clothing or
not, and should their money not be
paid regularly, they would have noth
ing to depend on.
I find Mr. Diaz a man of strong
faith in prayer. Said he, “We need
ed some sewing machines for the girls,
but how to get them was a question,
as wo had no money for such pur-,
poses. Mother, wife and I made it a
special subject of prayer. Not long
after, at an evening meeting the col
lector handed me an envelope from
the box addressed to me, containing
a five hundred dollar bill of Spanish
paper, with these words enclosed:
‘Take this and buy sewing machines
for the girls’ school, signed from an.
Unbeliever.’ I said we cannot use
the. money of an unbeliever for God’s
work, and I tried to find how anyone
knew we needed them, and also the
giver, when it occurred to me that
Elijah was fed by the ravens sent by
God, and this same God had sent this
money by an unbeliever for our pres
ent need. I went to the Singer Sew
ing Machine rooms and bought
twelve, and they are helping us earn
money for the support of these poor
girls.”
To show you how observing Mr.
Diaz is I must write you of an occur
rence last Sabbath evening. An
American gentleman came into the
church and took a scat. Soon two
men came and took seats beside him,
and when the congregation arose to
sing Mr. Diaz saw from the platform,
these two men preparing to take the
gentleman’s watch, and he came down
from the pulpit, touched one of them
on the shoulder and whispered, “If
you steal-that man’s watch I will put
yon in jail, for I see what you arc
doing.” After singing, the two men
left. He told the American after the
meeting that he was in danger of los
ing his watch. Sgid he, “I kriow they
crowded against me, but I had no idea
they were thieves, as they were so
well dressed, and appeared so well.”
Trials often eome to them unex
pectedly and from various sources.
The land on Neptuno street on which
their Chapel stood was sold liy the
owner without making known to the
purchaser that the land was leased to
them for a number of years. Soon
the new owner ordered the Chapel
and all that belonged to the church
to be removed at once, as he had
plans for building a block of houses
on the ground. Bather than engage
in a lawsuit about it, and as a church
building was much needed at San
Miguel (a village nine miles from
Havana) Mr. Diaz proposed to that
church to come and take the building
and move it there at their own ex
pense, which they easily did as the
chapel was made of timber, boards
and canvass. It costme thirty-five
dollars for freight on the cars, the
church men doing all the work, as
their minister was a carpenter by
trade, and most of the men mechan
ics. So the church at San Miguel
has a good house. The school that
occupied it has been moved into a
commodious dwelling, with a large
court inside and spacious school
rooms that accommodate more than
two hundred children, under the care
of Mr. Diaz, mother and sister, and is
very prosperous.
I have no doubt that this could bo
successfully extended to other parts
of the Island, had they the means to
do it, but for tho present it seems to
inc all the w ork is at hand here that
they can do with the limited means
they now have at their command.
A few days since, Mr. Diaz sent
out a circular containing the pros
pectus of the new Seminary in the
church building, one of which I will
enclose in this. Since then, quite a
large number have applied for places
in the school, which numbers this
week ninety-nine. The school will
be very popular, and doubtless, self
sustaining in tho near future, hut
they need more things to make it so
at the commencement.
The more I examine and become
acquainted with this work, the more
I am impressed with the earnestness
and fidelity with which it is conduct*
ed. All the schools ami meetings
are begun and closed with prayer
and songs of praise. Tho Sabbath
school in the church building assem
bles at half past eight ou Sunday
morning, and the first half hour is
spent by the teachers and scholars iu
prayer for the presence of the Holy
Spirit to direct and guide—these are
short and pointed, and not a moment
is lost as one rises after another. At
nine o’clock they separate and form
classes, and the teachers seem to-feel.
the help of the Holy Spirit in their
teaching. Additions to the church on
Sabbath evenings by baptism arc very
frequent. At a prayer-meeting this
week about sixty, some of which
were church members, arose for
prayers for themselves and others,
and stood with bowed heads while
the pastor led in earnest prayer.
Mr. Diaz is aggressive, hopeful and
patient, never seems discouraged or
disturbed, but bravely and meekly
bears burdens and annoyances, using
his good common sense and judgment.
Surely God is in this work, and the
Holy Spirit is guiding it.
Sincerely Yours,
J. S. Paine.
C. A. Thompson, Seymour, Ind.,
writes: “My sister Jennie, when she
was a young - girl, suffered from white
swelling, which greatly impaired her
general health and made her blood
very impure. In the spring she was
not able to do anything and could
scarcely get about. More than a
year ago she took three bottles of
Botanic Blood Bahn, and now she is
perfectly cured.”
THE EXCELSIOR HIGH SCHOOL
This school is the property di the
Miller Association, and is located in
Excelsior, which is inhabited by a
thorough going law abiding Chris
tian hearted and hospitable people,
whose chief interest is centered in
in the school.
The trustees and teachers have
properly adopted the motto name
Excelsior as their watch word and
have from year to year gone onward
and upward. They do this by being
united in their efforts and honest in
their work. They promise only
what they can do, and faithfully do
,what they promise. The trustees are
determined to have none but good
competent teachers who are up with
the requirements of the times.
The past history of the school in
battling with stern and vigorous op
position, and with financial hindrances
shows an indomiuable will iu the
people of Excelsior to have a good
school. *
Looking back upon the. past fifteen
years and judging the future thereof,
’they can see tho dawning of a far
brighter day than was ever, anticipat
ed by Rev. W. S. Geiger when be be
gan the work of building up a high
school.
Besides a permanent school, its
beautiful surroundings of good farms,
delightful pine forest and. green
meadows. Excelsior possesses more
than ordinary mail facilities; there
being three different routs conver
gent here, making two mails a day.
Boarders and their parents arc thus
enabled to have constant communica
tion, which adds much to the enjoy
ment of both.
Last but not least. No country or
village school in Wiregrass Georgia
has better buildings or neater furni
ture than this school.
The buildings are spacious and
well furnished, and are furnished with
stoves; charts, numerous blackboards
carefully slated over, and other nec
essary helps and conveniences.
Board and tuition are reasonable ;
board varying from 88 to ❖IO per
month.

of the school, is a hard and faithful
worker and a Christian gentleman of
