FRIENDS OF MY LIFE.
BY MRS. 1.. O. G.
Friends of my childhood! where are they ?
In the spring-time of life they came,
With birds and flowers, and joyous lay,
Oh ! tell me, are they now the same ?
Do they laugh so inertly ?
Do they carol songs of glee ?
Do they dance as cheerily ?
Do they erer think of me ?
Friends of my youth ! where are ye now ?
In summer-time ye came, with dreams
Os bliss, and friendship’s sacred vow,
Tell me! loved ones! how now life seems?
Is it full of light and love ?
Is its path with flowers strewn ?
Is it like the sky above ?
Is it drear, and sad and lone ?
Friends of my riper years! Oh where ?
Those hearts, glowing with fervent zeal,
That came in autumn-time to share,
The griefs, this burdened soul must feel.
Shall we ever meet again ?
Shall our sadden'd heart rejoice?
Shall we soothe each other’s pain?
Shall we make ‘the better choice ?’
Friends of old age ! Ye linger yet,
And as we stand on Jordon’s shore,
Time brings no feeling of regret,
That all life’s ills will soon be o’er.
We’ve carolled childhood's joyous lay,
, lib- ..We've streamed in youth visions,
bright.
We’ve wiped sorrow’s tears away,
We’ve passed the gloom of winter’s
night.

As the revision question has been mis
represented by many persons, we call spe
cial attention to the article of Bro. Baker,
headed—“ The New Version Question.” If
any one, Baptist or Pedo-Baptist, wishes
to controvert respectfully and candidly,
the propositions submitted by Bro. Baker,
he is challenged to do so. We will give
I him a fair show ing. But those who are de
’ termined to oppose the revision movement,
without reason, are advised to be quiet, as
to oppose in this way, will only subject
them to contempt and ridicule. r.

MIMUONARY REPORT.
J AcasosviLLK, Fla.. July 10, iB6O,
j Dear Bro. Wood :
I am just about to start for Thomasville,;
by special request, not knowing the things I
’ that shall be&l me there. Before I start I
i will make a brief" report of my labors sincx*
the adjournment of our State Convention.
The most of my labors have been ex
pended in and about Gainesville, on the
Florida Rail Road, about 60 miles west of
1 Jacksonville, directly on the route to Ce
dar Keys. Os this town I hare given an
| aocswtnt in former articles. It is located in
the x ieinity of" one of the most populous
and fertile sections of <wr State- I will |
only now report progtvss.
On the third Lord's day in last mouth !
lla* Presbyterians dedicated their new
house of worship to the service of God.— :
The; have generously tendered the use of
it to the Methodists and Baptists, when
not list'd by themselves. They have reg
ular preaching in it only one Sabbath in
the month, we have hitherto—all denomi
nations —preached in the Court House.— j
On the first Sabbath in this month, I avail
ed myself of their oder, and preached in
|it tn the morning and at night to respect-1
ful and attentive congregations. In the af
ternoon I preached at the Court House, to
the colored people.
We have started a subscription for a
meeting-house for our denomination, with a
fair prospect of succeeding. We lack,
however, an efficient agent to take the mat
ter in hand. We have but two brethren
in the place, and their engagements are such
as to prevent their pushing forward the
subscription list as fast as is desirable. A
man of the world, a lawyer, who was re ir
ed a Methodist started it, and headed it
with a subscription of SIOO ; and I think
will double his subscrition if necessary.—
We can do but little without a house of our
own. If we had a house, I think a small
church might be organized, and several
gathered in from the world. The citizens
attend religious meetings well, and seem to
take a lively interest in the establishment
of Christian churches in their midst.
I had almost forgotten to tell you how
narrowly I escaped taking part in a chris
tening ceremony. On the fourth Lord’s
day in last month, the Presbyterians (in
Gainesville) had a communion season in
the morning. I was invited to occupy the
pulpit at night, and consented to do so.—
After going into the pulpit and selecting
my hymn, the pastor came up and told me
he had a child to baptise, (he only sprink
led it, however,) and that 1 could proceed
to give out the hymn amF-ofler prayer, and
after prayer he would proceed with the
ceremony. There now! was 1 not in a
sad fix? I had not dreamed of such an
occurrence. The congregation was assem
bled and waiting for the services to be be
gun. My first thought was to make a has
ty retreat from the pulpit and the house
too. But that would not arrest the sprink
ling process, nor convince any one of its
impropriety. It would produce confusion
and probably much ill feeling. After a
moments reflection 1 concluded that the
best thing I could do under the existing
circumstances, would be to defer my ser
vices until the pastor got through with his,
I told him, therefore, if he had any work of
that kind to do he could go ahead, and 1
would wait till he got through with his be
fore I began mine. It was fortunate for
me I was so situated in the pulpit as to be
wholly hidden from the view of the con
gregation. I felt considerably sheepish, I
assure you; and 1 have no doubt looked
fully as badly as I felt. I shall always
look out for cups and bowls, hereafter, be
fore going into a Pedo-Baptist pulpit—es
pecially if there is a Pedo-B: ptist minister
in the congregation.
I have made a second effort at Lake City,
but with so little encouragement, (unless I
would preach for the Methodists every
time I went there,) that I have abandoned
the idea of attempting to cultivate that
field at present. 1 have also visited and
preached at Fort Clark, Alachua county,
and spent one Lord’s day with the church
at this place, by special request, to aid
them in some matters of church difficulty.
The church here is at present without a
pastor, and I hope they will not call one
until they get their new house of worship
completed. For he could do nothing with
out a house in town, and the interest excit
ed in a new preacher would wear away be
fore he could get into the new house. A
new preacher, when the new house is open
ed, would attract a large congregation;
and if he be an acceptable preacher, he
would be likely to secure many of them
as regular attendants.

SEASONS, CROPS, &c.
As a general thing, so far as I know, the
seasons have been g<x»d, and crops are very
promising in West Florida. A sow places
have suffered by drought, while, close by,
a sufficiency of rain has fallen to make the
crops. This place, Orange Hill, is embra
ced in an unfortunate “dry streak.” Two
neighbors, besides myself, have not had a
season since the first of April, and but one
considerable rain—that on the 16th of
May, and not a season—and but few light
sprinkles since. Farmers have suffered
some for six or eight miles around, but
have had tome rain, and recently good rains
have fallen within two miles, while we are
yet “ burnt up.” The crop has stood the
drought amazingly, and with rains ten
days ago we should have made “ enough
to do us,” but ninety days drought is too
much. Corn is “ done,” except some plant
ed late. Cotton has formed to the very
bud, and is now shedding and dropping its
leaves rapidly. Some crops on Holmes’
Valley are “splendid,” and all are good in
Jackson county. In Holmes and Walton
1 hear of no special complaint. Health,
everywhere, good. * *
The weather in this “dry streak” has
been unusually warm, but not much sultry.
The thermometer has been to M degrees,
usually from 14 to 90 deg. The dry, white
earth and fiery rays of Sol make it quite
oppressive “ in the sun,” and the drooping,
: dying appearance of all vegetation easts a
gloom over the mind of him who ventures
: out.
Our springs continue to run at the foun
tain iu the usual quantity, though the
branches below are all dry.
Religious matters are in sldtu qua. with
occasional gleams of reviving hope. Our
Annual Missionary, in the western portion
of our bounds, is pursuing his laltora ener
getically and hopefully. He baptizes
almost every round, and the condition of
the field has much improved, general!;,
I under his ministrations. A most beloved
minister from Alabama has settled in that
I field reemtly, who I hope will be a great
' blessing to that destitute people.
As I am now “‘on the shelf,” there is
but one of our ministers, in about sixty
rniles square, engaged in his vocation in
this region; and but three or four others
i throughout our very large Associat ionai
territory. Here is work for the self-deny
ing ambassadors of Christ' How can they
‘ clatter together at more pleasant but less
I needful places I
1 What few preachers we have are “ poor
in spirit,” and in this world’s goods, with
heavy domestic responsibilities, and but
one, besides our Missionary preacher, at
places able to afford any support. They
eat bread by the sweat of their brow, and
preach where they can return to their home
labor without losing much time—and so
few, at that, in such a large field !
Our State Convention is still alive, and
who knows but that it may increase to a
full-grown size ? The brethren who sup
port it are courageous in the Lord, full of
faith, while destitute of means. They be
lieve the “ race is not to the swift, rior the
battle to the strong.” May such confidence
never be discomfitted ! 4
Some anxiety exists to see. brother Ba
ker’s paper, and learn its intent and its
chances of success. Bro. B. is so able an
editor, and such a good Baptist, we have
ever felt inclined to encourage him in any
enterprise. There can be no doubt of his
support in the State Mission he is engaged
in. Surely none ; «m there be, brethren?
What ! doubt of contributing the very lit
tle means such a brother as bro. B. requires
to prosecute so great a work ! Make an
assessment on my income, and let me know
it. I want stock in that operation.
1 learn, if bro. Baker’s paper be discon
tinued, that a Florida Baptist Weekly is
to be established. The east and the south
seem to require a State - paper, and. if the
enterprise be started I hope our Florida
brethren, generally, will lend their aid ;
but I am inclined to think the number of
Baptist papers is already large enough,and
that it would even be better for a partner
ship to be formed by some now in opera
tion. We are behind the times in religious
newspaper and solely for want
of adequate support. 1 would prefer that
an interest be purchased by Florida Bap
tists in a suitable paper already “ going
a head,” and, by such concentrated means,
enlarge it and make it equal to the demands
of our ii.fluential denomination. At any
rate, let brethren seriously remember that
a first-class religious paper is impossible
without a host of paging and reading sub
scribers. We rob ourselves immensely by
withholding this substantial “ aid and com
fort” from our papers.
1 have now the pleasure of the company
and prospective pulpit service of bro. Win.
S. Tweedell, of Marietta, who is looking at
our country with a view of settling. His
presence makes me forget the gloom hang
ing over mv-»parched-up farm.

THE LATE SESSION OF THE EAST
ALABAMA CONVENTION.
The East Alabama Baptist Convention
met on Friday, the 13th instant, with the
Church in Columbiana, Shelby county.
The number of brethren in attendance was
large and intelligent, and the meeting was
a very interesting and profitable one. The
introductory sermon 3MtU>re:iL'hed by Eld.
Platt Stout. It was short but sweet. Bro.
Stout was very unwell.
The Bible Sermon, by bro. W. Wilkes,
was well conceived anil well delivered.
The Missionary Sermon was preached
by the “ Alabama Department” of the
Banner.
Besides these, there were able sermons
from able men. Bro. Buck certainly gave
us one of the most powerful and instructive
discourses on Sabbath night that 1 ever
heard. Bro. Manly also preached an able
sermon, but I was situated so I could not
hear him.
The proceedings were, for the must part,
conducted in harmony. There was some
little discussion on a question or two that
was called “raspish” by some, but I did
not so regard it, except in a few remarks.
There were a few- things said that otight
not to have been said, and a few things
done that ought not to have been done, but
I suppose this is the case at nearly all meet
ings of the kind in these days.
But there was much done that needed to
be done. About six hundred dollars were
raised for our Indian Missionaries, and a
handsome sum for home missions and for
eign missions.
One of the most important items of the
proceedings was that the Convention deter
mined to raise sixteen hundred dollars as
a permanent fund for the Colporter’s work
—the circulating of the saered Scriptures
and religious books in our own bounds.
About seven hundred dollars of the amount
were pledged, and will be paid when our
agent shall have raised the residue. Be
tween fifty and a hundred dollars were
raised for Buckner’s triMislations. In fact,
there was not an object presented that was
not responded to with a commendable lib
erality. I do not remember the amount
that was sent up by the Churches and As
sociations. .
This body is rapidly growing in strength
and utility. It proposes to do a great
work. There is lamentable destitution in
East Alabama. Noofie unacquainted w ith
the facts could hardly erwlit the statements
of our home missionaries and others.
Dear brethren, let us seek peace, and
henceforth labor for the poor and starving
of our own beloved section. I expect to
speak again soon of some things alluded to |
in this notice.
The next session of the Convention will |
be held with Mt. Zion Church, near Alex
andria, in Calhoun county, beginning Fri- '
day before the third Sabbath in Jul v, 1861. ;
J. J. D. R.
The Gospel drops nothing but mar- i
row and fatness, love and sweetness, and
therefore God looks iato these days, that
men should grow up to a greater height of j
holiness, heavenliness and spirituality than
what they attained to fa those dark days
wherein the sun shone but dimly.
Ix>ve may exist without jealousy,'
although this is rare; but jealousy may
exist without love, but this is common.
It is only the tflni waters that re
flect heaven in their breast.

WHAT SYSTEM WORLD DO.
Graysville, July 18, 1860.
Brother Wood:
There six hundred thousand Bap
tists in the Southern States. Let us sup
pose that they are worth, on an average,
only one thousand dollars each. (They are
undoubtedly worth twice as much.) Their
aggregate worth is, therefore, six hundred
millions of dollars. The interest on this
sum, at seven per cent, is forty-two mil
lions, two hundred thousand dollars. Sub
tracting three-fourths of this sum for home
uses would leave one million fifty thousand
dollars for our General Boards which, being
divided equally between them, would give
to each three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, with which each of our missionary
boards could support three hundred and
fifty missionaries at six thousand dollars a
piece, covering incidental expenses; while
our Bible Board could supply Bibles as
fast as the missionaries could distribute
them.
The foregoing estimate is not more than
half the true one, but it forms a humilia
ting contrast with what we are doing, and
shows what we could do if the resources of
our people w<‘re reached by system ; and-
Baptists can just as easily introduce it into
all their churches as any State, business
corporation, or benevolent organization
can among their members. And why
should they not do it ? Is not Christ a
King? Are not they his subjects? Does
he not claim the use of their hearts, minds,
bodies and substance in his service ? Can
they refuse to yield to his claim ? And if
they do refuse, how DARE they call them
selves his subjects! A good subject that
will do nothing and gives nothing in sup
port of the government which he professes
to love 1 A Christian that does nothing and
gives nothing, or little more than nothing,
for the cause of Christ!! A church that
does no better!!! Absurdities—the latter
two more so, and more shocking, than the
former. “If any man love me, he will
keep my words.” “He that loveth me not,
keepeth not my sayings.”

Brother Wood:
Bro. Russell,the “Revision” Agent, was
with us last Sabbath, the 15th inst. He
preached for us in the morning and again
at night, on the subject of the revision
movement. He presented the claims of
the “ Bible Union” in a very plain and
forcible manner, and I am glad to say not
without effect in the right direction. He
left Monday evening, to fill his appoint
ment at Pleasant Grove—on Tuesday and
Wednesday at Annuehee—and returned
here Thursday morning, on his way down
to “Bush Arbor,” in company with Bro.
Newton, to fill his appointment there that
day. He was well pleased with his trip to
the churches above here—got several life
members, <kc., &c., to the Union.
Bros. Dayton and Fish arrived here on
Wednesday morning; met with a few of
the Sunday School scholars that evening, at
5 o’clock ; give them a talk, and sung a few
songs with them at night. Bro. Dayton
preached for us. His subject was : “ Lord,
what wilt thou have me to do ?” His ser
mon was more for the benefit of the young
converts than any other class, yet it was
applicable to all. It was a good sermon,
and I hope it will not soon be forgotten.
He proved to them that each and every
member had a work to do and would lie
held to a strict account if they failed to do
that work.
We have recently organized a Bible
class, (independent of our Sabbath School,)
which meets every Sunday evening at 5
o’cbwk —Bro. A. R. Wright as teacher.
One of the rules is, that the class selects
some one of the male members every two
weeks whose duty it is to deliver an ad
dress on some Scripture subject, before, the
class and the public generally at some sta
ted time, and occasionally some one of the
sisters is to write an essay. Robert T.
Fouche has been chosen by the class to de
liver an address on Thursday night, the 2d
of August. His subject is, “Jerusalem as
it was, Jerusalem as it is, and Jerusalem
as it will be.”
Our Superior Court has just dosed its
session. James Hall was sentenced to the
Penitentiary for the term of three years,
for the murder of Robt. Patterson.
From all the lights before us, the South
ern Baptist Sabbath Sdtool Union will l>e
largely attended. I hope it will not only
be a pleasant, but a profitable meeting, and
I hope you will have the pleasure of carry
ing home with you a pocket full of the
names of new subscribers to the “ Banner
6 Baptist.”
Monday Evening. July‘23d.
Bro. Stillwell preached for us yesterday;
as usual, he gave us a g«x>d sermon. Bro.
Wright preached for us at night. He also
gave us a good sermon; never fails to do
that. The only difficulty there is, is to
get him to make the effort. He has been
doing much better in that respect of late.
He has but few equals.
We had a very pleasant shower of rain
this evening.

” —
The expression—the privilege of
■ prayer—sounds strange to some. They
have no other conception of prayer, than
‘ that of a duty, a task. They pray, perhaps,
but it is because they are commanded to
■ pray, not because they find it ‘ good to
draw nigh unto God"—because a present
blessing comes out of it. Aside from the
Divine injunction which they properly re
gard as obligatory—left to their own in
clination—it is to be learned that many
professed Christians even, would be strang
ers to the throne of Grwre. Prayer is an
irksome thing!

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
PENINSULA PIONEER & FLORIDA BAPTIST.
The Undersigned, fully convinced of the ne
cessity of a denominational paper for the Bap
tists of tlie Florida Convention; and that as a
means for uniting and developing the strength
of the denomination, as well as a channel of
communication, (it is a pressing and preterit
want,) have determined to issue a prospectus of
a paper witli the above title, and if the en
couragement is such as to support itself, will
begin, at least by the first week in September,
to issue it, as a weekly, on a respectable Im
perial sheet, at Monticello, Florida. The follow
ing mere outline of its principles and objects is
given now; as we are aware the success of the
paper depends mainly on what it proves to be
when published.
denominationally,
It will be a Baptist paper ; and as such be Cal
vinistic, Landmark and Missionary, advocating
Missions by Boards, Conventions, Associations,
churches and individuals. We intend it to en
courage all the tlenominatioriaTlnterests of the
Floritia Baptist Convention first, and be prim
arily the State paper of Florida.
religiously,
It will aim, by inculcation of truth, to promote
“soul prosperity," love, peace, benevolence and
growtli in grace.
AB A NEWSPAPER,
It will seek to give weekly a summary of news,
home and foreign, religious and secular; and
in short, to have a department for all classes,
and to fill eacli department with such matter
as will make our “Pioneer" a religions paper,
in the “Land of Flowers,” just such a paper as
every individual of every family, of every name
and order ought to have and read.
Terms: Two dollars ($2 00) per annum, in
advance always, after the first number. Those
sending their names before its issue, if prefer
able to them, may forward the money on re
ceipt of the first issue, and to those only who
forward their names, either with or without
the money, before the first issue, we say, if dis
satisfied at the end of six months, notify us,
and we will return you half your money and
let you off.
We request all who will favor our enterprize
either individually or as agents, to do so as
soon as convenient, and forward the result to
