Ask your doctor what hap pens to cod-liver oil when it gets inside of you. He will say it is shaken and broken up into tiny drops, becomes an emulsion; there are other changes, but this is the first.

R. 43 Wall St. Atlanta, Ga. ©tHhtaxiesu 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. BLANCHARD.—-At a meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the Second Baptist church, March 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.

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. Atlanta, March 14th 1892. IRVIN.—Died at her home in Concord Pike County, Ga., March 18th. 1892. Mrs. N.

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 ence this 27th day of Feb. 1893 and adopted, with request that it be sent the Index for publication. A. E. McDowell, J. B. Queen, W. E. Ivey, Mrs. Sallie R. Philips.

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. Prof. J. I). Duncan, tho principle of the school, is a hard and faithful worker and a Christian gentleman of high culture.
