ABSOLUTELY PURE
For the Index.
From Florida
Dear Index.—The third quarter of
onr year is nearly gone, and very noon
we will meet in our annual convention,
in the Ancient City, and of course will
expect to welcome the Index. We
have reached the bottom. I hope, of onr
deplorable financial trouble, the effect
locally and specially of the freezes of
last year. It would be impossible for
one outside the State to conceive of the
state of things here, or for me to de
scribe or tell how bad it was, and yet is,
nor shall I attempt to do it. I do,
however, feel that it is but just that 1
should say that for the most part onr
people have done nobly, have faced
things heroically, and in our religious
and missionary work, we have not re
reded as much as was to be expected,
owing to the faithfulness of our people
and help of the Home Board. We are
fearful, however, from intimations,
that the Home Board may reduce our
allo '<nce in which event we would
suffer a back-set that would embarrass
as much
INGATHERINGS.
A good many special meetings have
been held, and some of them resulted
in considerable additions, but we have
not had such a harvest of ingathering as
you have in Georgia.
CHURCH BUILDING
is just now pressing upon our people at
several points, and though the times
are inopportune, it was. or is. an imper
ative necessity in some instances, and
could not be deferred
Tampa and Plant City will soon be
occupying new houses, anil the Gaines
ville and Quincy houses are consider
ably advanced, but now at a standstill
for want of funds.
GEORGIA-FLORIDIA NR,
or Florida-Georgiana, are getting to be
more prominent in religious and politi
cal matters. Honorable R W Davis,
of the large Davis family of Georgia,
and a son of Rev Jessie Mercer Davis,
of blessed memory, is candidate for
Congress and will be elected, doubtless.
He came very near being nominated for
Governor once He is a very affable
man, a tine speaker, and a tine prrsid
ing officer, and were he as good a Bap
tint as he is a Democrat, he would may
be have been president of our conven
tion; but alas, he has never been to a
session. Unlike him in that regard, is
brother C. A Carson, a Georgian, a
graduate of Mercer, who was recently
nominated for the Florida Senate, not
having sought it, or even expected it
probably. A noble fellow he is, a Chris
tian and Baptist everywhere, a member
of the Board of Missions, a Sunday
school worker, and a prayer-meeting
leader, and can preach a good sermon if
he is not a preacher.
MORA I. VOTING.
I know, I suppose, how yon feel as a
paper for all the Baptists of Georgia
and not wishing to take sides or give
office to any. lam not an editor, and
were I one, might feel differently; but
as an old man, an old preacher, an old
Baptist, with many friends in Georgia,
as 1 hope, and some who may be led to
thin k by what 1 am going to say, let
me say this; 1 cannot see how a man
can vote the national ticket for Presi
dent of any party save the Prohibition
party, without voting for whiskey and
the whiskey traffic, which is not a moral
act, surely.
Not a word, save one bare, thiu refer
ence in one. to the greatest evil that
curses the United States, in any of the
platforms, though they were petitioned
to speak out, My conscience would no
more let me vote for any other party,
than let me sign a petition for a bar
room.
W. N CHAUDOIN.
Indian Territory.
Dear Index; At the last session of
the General Association of Western Ar
kansas and Indian Territory, it was
agreed that each missionary of the Gen
eral Asso -iation write a brief history of
their work, and financial condition, to
some Baptist paper east of the Missis
sippi river, with a request that it be
published It was believed that if the
Baptists of the Southern States knew
our condition, and the great disadvan
tages under which we labor, and the
vast destitution of the Indian Territory,
they would help ns, or. in other words,
they would contribute more freely to
the work of the Indian Territory.
With this explanation I will proceed.
My field of labor embraces a part of Su
gar Loaf and Skullyville counties in the
southeastern part of the Choctaw Na
tion lam supplying four churches at
present. Their distances from my
home are three, six, twelve, and thirty
miles respectively There have been
eighty six accessions to these churches
since July 10th, 1896. Fifty five of
them were by experience and baptism.
I have traveled during theyear 1890 over
600 miles while engaged in the work. I
have preached 74 sermons, delivered 20
exhortations, conducted 18 prayer meet
ings. funeral services 3; visits to sick 10;
r iigious visits 12; days laboredß2; pages
t acts distributed 2,090 Amount re
ceived from Board of General Associa
tion. $35 50. Amount collected on field
for my support, $13.50 Total amount
received during the year 1896, $49.00.
Financially-speaking 1 am very poor. I
have no land; no stock of any kind ex
cept one Indian pony which I bought on
credit last year I will be compelled to
let it sell for the note I gave for it will
soon be due, and I have nothing to pay
with I have about 3 bushels of corn;
35 pounds of flour; 5 pounds of meat; 2
gallons molasses; and only 25 cents in
money. I have a wife and two children
My wife is in very delicate health; more
than half of the time she is unable to do
the housework. At this writing she is
confimd to her bed-with no prospect of
getting well.
Thue I have given a brief history of
my work, my condition, and the disad
vantages under which I am laboring
Now a word to yon, dear reader When
you read this I want you to kneel in
humble prayer to God for me and my
family. And now, Bro. Editor, I sub
mit this letter to your consideration as
to its publication, hoping it will not be
doomed to the waste basket. Will write
again May the Lord abundantly bless
the Indxx and all its readers is my
prayer.

GRAVE APPREHENSIONS.
To some of us who have refrained
from active participation in the contro
versy among our Southern Baptist
brethren during the last fonr or five
months, the condition of churches has
been alarming. We are wondering
what is to become of our mission work
during and after the battle. As for
myself, I have looked anxiously in the
six Baptist papers, during all this time,
for a good red hot editorial upon some
phase of our mission woik. Last week
one of the most active participants in
this unholy war had an editorial upon
“Baptists Must Get Together.” It ap
peared to not a few that the worthy
editor of that timely editorial had done
almost as much as he could to drive
them apart,-by using unsavory epithets
about his brethren who did not see the
Whitsitt matter as he did. It is a good
thing that he has repented and turned
leader towards the land of peace. Oh,
for a rest ! But not yet, for we may
hope for little else for the next several
weeks but criticism upon the new book.
A few seem to think the matter will be
settled by a few strokes of some strong
pen, but a wise and worthy brother,
near the seat of war, writes me that he
expects this controversy to go on for
years If so. lam in favor of making
the Mission Journal a weekly, so as to
give onr other journals a clear field to
exhibit the war paint of themselves and
their following Would it not be well
for our editors to sandwich at least a
little information on the subject of
missions, lest our people forget that they
are Missionary Baptists 1
BAPTIST SCHOOLS.
Mississippi College has on her best at
tire. Grounds and buildings improved,
a new cottage for young ministers built,
two new teachers, and a present attend
ance of between 180 and 190 boys, is
enough to make us hold up our heads
with laudable pride. Hillman College
for young ladies, with Prof. Frank M.
Riley,'Ph. D.. at her head, is fullof hope.
There were twenty five boarders the
first day and they were still coming
when last heard from. Blue Mountain
opened with 130 boarders and the best
prospects in all her history. Stone Fe
male College has a good attendance and
is spoken of in highest terms by her
friends. In fact the educational fever
runs so high that some of us par,tors are
almost broken up in our young people's
meetings There were seventeen from
the Hazlehurst church alone, who either
went off to college or to teach school,
most of them being active workers in
the B. Y. P. U.
HOT WEATHER AND MEETINGS.
The thermometer has been playing
around 95 and 98 degrees, but nothing
like hot weather stops a protracted
meeting down in Missisippl. The
meetings have been unusually good. At
Steen's Creek, pastor Johnston baptized
eight as result, of a meeting in which
he was assisted by pastor Pace. As
sisted by the latter, pastor Noffsinger
received three for baptism at Carroll
ton. Pastor Thigpen has had additions
by baptism to his churches as follows;
Damascus, six; Spring Hill, seven; Lit
tie Byhala, thirteen; Union Hall, thir
teen. Brother Thigpen assisted pastor
Carter at Hebron and eight were bap
tized, also pastor Douglas at Philadel
phia, ami six were baptized Pastor
Hemby baptized twenty one at Concord
and twenty eight nt Gallman. At the
latter place he was helped by pastor
Yarboro. Bro. Yarboro, helped by pas
tor W. P. Price, is having a great meet
ing at Crystal Springs. At Bethlehem,
pastor T C. Schilling was assisted by
pastor Pace, and six were baptized.
Pastor B. R. Hughey has received forty
two into his churches, and pastor W. T.
Lowry thirty seven at Blue Mountain,
being assisted in the meeting by pastor
,1. B. Searcy. At Flora, pastor Martin
Ball, of Paris, Tenn., assisted his uncle,
Bro. L Ball, and twenty two were bap
tized. Many others have been baptized,
but I will claim-no more of your space
to record them.
PASTORATES.
Brother M. F. Broaddus leaves Green
ville for Bristol, Tenn. Bro. Oscar
Haywood comes from Huntsville, Ala.,
to West Point, Miss. Bro. John P.
Hemby has been recalled at Gallman,
and it is understood will accept There
is a possibility of a few removals, but
in the main pastors and churches seem
to be satisfied with each other. The
Gloster church wants brother R H.
Purser, of Wesson, having by ballot
unanimously called him, but it is not
known what he will do He has been
fifteen years at Wesson, the church has
800 members and each one seems to
have a lifetime grip upon the pastor.

The Work in Florida.
1 have just returned from the meet
ing of the Wekiva Association at Kia
simmee It was a pleasant and profit
able meeting. I did not hear the let
ters, but am sure there was some gain
in the numerical strength, while under
the circumstances, the financial show
ing was very good After an interest
ing discussion of the report on educa
tion. the sum of $145 00 was pledged for
ministerial education, and sls 00 cash
paid, and a nice sum in cash, also, was
raised for our superannuated minis
try.
It will be pleasing to numbers of your
readers to see the statement that I fouul
at Kissimmee the following Georgians:
Moderator, Rev. R W. Lawton; Treas
urer, O. D Anderson, and of the Kis
simmee church, the retiring pastor. Rev.
J. C. Massie, two Carsons, Bert Bryan,
Drs Sears and Hicks, Revs Bell and
Woodall and his two sons. Gilbert.
Greves, and Thomson and Swanson, and
others besides, maybe, Baptists, all
true and earnest.
Pastor Massie, after a most pleasant
and successful pastorate, leaves the
church to attend the Siminary. The
leave-taking on Sunday night was beau
ful, touching and gave evidence of the
love and respect entertained by the peo
ple generally, and his flock in particu
lar, for the young pastor, of which he
is so worthy.

BRO. COVA’a LETTER.
Tampa, Fla., Sept. 18,1896.
Miss Annie W. Armstrong, Baltimore,
Md.
My Dear Sister;—l am in receipt
of the box of clothes sent to us by the
Raleigh, (N. C,) W. M Srciety. It has
surpassed our expectations, as the sup
ply is so vast and good that it will serve
my family and myself for a year or
more.
As I know we owe it to your interfer
ences and recommendations, we pray
you to accept our united and fervent
thanks.
In the time of severe trials for the Cu
bans, it is a heavenly comfort to think
that in this land of refuge and peace,
our noble Baptist people are doing their
best to sweeten the trials of persecution
and banishment.
I thank you most heartily, my dear
sister, for your ever faithful and un
wearied interest for me and my work.
Your brother in the labor.
J. V. Cova.
One of the missionaries of the Home
Board, writing to Miss Annie Arm
strong, from Devers, Texas, says:
The good Lord has wonderfully
blessed my labors in the mission field
this year. Among all other blessings he
has blessed me in the conversion of my
only daughter. Fannie. I baptized her,
with three other converts, the 23d of Au
gust. My work is in a prosperous con
dition. I have baptized fifty three con
verts the last eleven months.
We have finished our church house
here at Devers except painting, and the
contractor is at work on another very
nice church building at Sweethome
church, a church that I organized last
April.
My old church at Houston City wants
me back, and has extended me a call.
But 1 feel that 1 ought to remain in
this field for Christ's sake."
It does meso much good to know that
while we are undergoing many priva
tions and disappointments in this life
the dear sisters are mindful of us in
their prayers. It would do my heart
good to see the dear sisters who have
ho kindly and faithfully assisted ns and
talk with them, yet if 1 never meet them
on earth I will meet them in heaven.
Remember us in your prayers and
pray the good Lord to direct me in my
work to his glory, not for my ease.
Your brother in Christ.
URO. M’COMBS—INDIAN MISSIONARY.
Dear Bro. Tichenor:—l have just
returned from the meeting of
the General Association of Wes
tern Arkansas and Indian Territory
where 1 heard them talking and consult
ing together about their work. I judge
for them a great future. A nobler and
more consecrated set of men cannot be
found anywhere in this broad land.
Their whole work is full of the spirit of
the Master. The Lord could not with
hold his blessing from such devoted men
as compose this Association.
This Territory will in the near future
be a Baptist State, as we outnumber all
other denominations more than two
thirds now in the Creek Nation, and
God giving us such men as A. G. Wash
burn, John Hulsy, Lin Patterson, H. H,
Mouser, L. W .Wright, and many others
whose names I cannot call, we will suc
ceed I was also very much pleased
and encouraged with their soundness in
the doctrine of the Bible as it has al
ways been held by the Baptists in all
ages. Another fact I find among them
is, that worldly honor, money nor any
thing else can separate them from their
sympathies and strong attachment to
the Baptiste of the South.
The report of the work they have
done the past year is very encouraging—
it will appear in the Minutes.
Your brother,
W. M. McCombs.

GERMAN WORK IN BALTIMORE.
In a recent letter from Miss Annie
W Armstrong she writes:
“The ‘outlook’ for the German Indus
trial Schools in Baltimore is very
bright. We had not purposed re organ
izing these schools until the weather
was a little cooler, but one will have to
be opened uext week, as for several
weeks past the children have been as
sembling, thinking they could gain ad
mittance. One of the teachers happen
ed to be in the neighborhood at the ac
customed hour, saw the children and
counted forty-five waiting for the door to
be opened. She was told that a number
had left, and was told there had been
eighty of the little ones there that day.
We expect in the near future to also or
ganize a German school in Washington I
am now making an effort to secure more
efficient help for Miss Buhlmaier from
the English churches in order that she
may be free to do pioneer work, for
which she is rarely fitted.
The Harmony’ Association.—The
Harmony Association met with the First
Baptist church in Tallapoosa, on Friday,
O. toiler 2 There was a full delegation
from the churches. Rev. W. W. Roop
preached the introductory sermon, be
ing on a visit from Carrollton. The
sermon was very instructive. Rev. J.
C. Jackson was elected moderator and
V. M. Thaekerson, clerk and treasurer.
The pastor. Bro. T. E McCutchen, be
ing sick, Rev T A. Higdon, whose
home is now in Tallapoosa, looked after
the delegates. The discussion of mis
sions occupied most of the day on Sat nr
day. Dr. J. G. Gibson was present and
stirred up the brethren on missions as
they never were before. A spirit of love
and zeal seemed to pervade the whole
body from beginning to end. .and more
money was collected for missions than
ever before If the same spirit can be
worked up among the churches, there
would be a great reformation on the
mission subject iu this part of the State.
Bro. T A. Higdon preached the mis
sionary sermon on Sunday to a large
and attentive congregation.
The association will meet at Edwards
ville, Ala., on the G P. Railroad. Fri
j day before the first Sunday in October,
1897. This Association is in Georgia
and Alabama, on the line, but is indeed
a harmonious body. A.
We desire to call special atten
tion to the Baptist Congress
which meets at Nashville, Tenn.,
Nov. 10-12. This body is one
solely for the discussion of
themes of worth and timeliness.
The program for this meeting
has four subjects: How far has
the New Testament precedent
the authority of divine com
mand? Christianity and war; The
problems of the country church;
Is God the Father of all men?
The relation of Baptists to other
denominations; The pastor as a
soul winner. Among others who
will discuss these subjects are
Drs. J. P. Greene, H. H. Harris,
Wayland Hoyt, Thos. D. Ander
son, T. J. Morgan, W. Pope Yea
man, R. H. Pitt. The list is too
long to give entire, but it prom
ises three days of excellent fare.
Reduced railroad rates are as
sured. The grounds and build
ings for the coming exposition
are all erected and will be worth
visiting. Nashville is always
worth a visit for itself alone.
We sincerely hope many of our
brethren will decide to go to the
Congress and make its meeting
here in the South a prononced
success.
Postal cards cost little and are
very convenient, and the Index
would suggest to brethren over
the State that they use them free
ly in making known the matters
of interest occurring in their re
spective sections. The paper
has for some time been well filled
with notices of meetings of vari
ous kinds, and we have appre
ciated the kindness of the breth
ren in sending these. But soon
the meetings will be over and
there will be a dearth of news
from the State unless the breth
ren send it in. The Index glad
ly welcomes such items, and the
brethren generally enjoy read
ing them.
We have received cards of in
vitation to the silver wedding of
Rev. and Mrs. J. M Phillips, at
their home in Mossy Creek,
Tennessee. Mrs. Phillips is well
known as a writer and has in the
past written for our readers.
Bro. Phillips is universally es
teemed as a preacher and pastor.
We are sorry not to have been
able to accept their invitation,
but we tender our congratulations
ancUbiKUrrtaLfis for their silver
wedding, and the gold one also.
CH ATTAHOOCHEE ASSOC IATION.
—This body met at Dewberry
No. 1 church, about ten miles
from Gainesville, on Thursday,
October Bth. The attendance
was good and the meetings inter
esting. Bro. J. H. Braziel was
elected moderator and Bro. W.
R. Stovall, clerk.
The church has just built an
excellent house of worship. The
location is beautiful. The Asso
ciation decided to unite with the
State Convention Bro. J. A
Wynne, of Gainesville, was there
in full force and made a very fine
speech on missions and preached
an excellent sermon with much
missions in it.
The Index man was well cared
for by Bro. J. T. Waters, and
added to the subscription list.
There is a spirit of progress
manifested in this large Associa
tion and greater things may be
expected.
It was voted to co operate with
the Hightower Association in
the school at Cumming.
Trustees were selected to rep
resent the body the work of the
school.
Ministerial support claimed
much attention, and great empha
sis was laid upon its importance.
The report on temperance de
veloped an advance in that line
over the past, of this mountain
section
The Religious Herald-. It has
been suggested—and there is
food for thought in the sugges
tion—that the fact that the cur
rent political discussion rages
with particular fury around a
monetary question accounts in
some measure for the dearth of
money in the treasury Men are
perfectly willing to discuss the
jingle standard, free silver, etc.,
but they give neither gold nor
silver nor bank-notes freely. The
more they discuss, the less they
give. This may or may not be
true. Os one thing we are sure:
There was never so much neces
sity for liberality towards mis
sion causes on the part of Chris
tian people, and particularly on
the part of Southern Baptists.

SOUNDS THE PRA’SES OF DR J
HARVEY MJO.iE, THE ATL kN T
OCULIST.
Rev. J. D. Winchester, of the
Third Baptist church of Atlanta,
Ga., writes:
“Yours referring to Dr. J.
Harvey Moore received. I regard
Doctor Moore as an estimable
gentleman and thoroughly com
petent in his profession. . . .
He is a decided success. He has
performed some almost miracu
lous cures. Our little boy had
eczema when small; it settled in
one of his eyes and was a very
obstinate case. Dr. Moore’s
treatment was highly successful,
the child is entirely well. You
can trust Dr. J. Harvey Moore.”
Dr. Moore is equally successful
in the treatment of diseases of
the Nose, Throat and Ear. His
elegant offices in the Norcross
Building are usually crowded
with patients.
How Some of our Readers Can Make
Money.
Last month I cleared after paying all
expenses, $355 85; the month previous,
$260, and have at the same time attend
ed to other duties. I believe any ener
getic person can do equally as well, as
I have had very little experience. The
Dish Washer is just lovely, and every
family wa its one. which makes selling
very easy. Ido no canvassing. People
hear about the Dish Washer, and come
or send for one. It is strange that a
good, cheap washer has never before
been put on the market. The Iron City
Dish Washer fills this bill. With it you
can wash and dry the dishes for a fam
ily of ten in two minutes without wet
ting the hands. As soon as people see
the washer work they want one. You
can make more money, and make it
quicker than with any other household
articleon the market. I feel convinced
that any lady or gentleman can make
from sl6 to sl4 per day around home.
My sister and brother have started in
the business and are doing splendid.
You can get full particulars by address
ing the Iron City Dish Washer Co., Sta.
A. Pittsburg, Pa. They help you get
started, then you can make money

A Chance to Make Money.
I have berries, grapes and peaches, a
year old, fresh as when picked. I use
the California Cold process, do not heat
or seal the fruit, just put it up cold,
keeps perfectly fresh, and costs almost
nothing; can put up a bushel in ten
minutes. Last week I sold directions
to over 120 families; anyone will pay a
dollar for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples of fruit. As there
are many poor people like myself, I con
sider it my duty to give my experience
to such, and feel confident any one can
make one or two hundred dollars around
home in a few days. I will mail sample
of fruit and complete directions, to any
of your readers, for eighteen two cent
stamps, which is only the actual cost of
the samples, postage, etc., to me.
