My wife and I left home on February 8th for this country. Will endeavor to give you a little description of our trip, and this coun try; if you think it worthy of publi cation. We came as far as Columbia, the first day. Had to wait there, un til one o'clock that night before we could get a train out to Jacksonville. While waiting that afternoon, wo took in some of the city. That evening, vis isted Dr. Pike's Rescue Home; as we had known the matron, Miss Anna Tlnnstrom, and ass't. matron. Miss Mary Bell HolmcB for a number of years. 1 only wi6h, that every one of God's children could only see, feel and hear whut we did there. 18 young ladies from the age of 15 to 26. in that home?stained by sin, branded by the devil. We held a lit tle service with them. Only 14 were able to come out to service. One of the youngest was asked to go to the organ by the matron. You may have an idea, that they are all ignorant, and unaccomplished, but you are very much mistaken. As that little girl touched the keys of that instrument, the melodious strains of music pealed forth, and our hearts rould hardly hold the emotion, as every mouth was opened to sing the praises of our (Sod. After a few songs, and prayers, I talked to them from these words, "Bui Daniel purposed in bis heart, that he would not defile himself". Dan. 1:8, after which 8 o? the girls stood for prayer. We sang ' .Mother's 111 bie" by suggestion of one of the girls. It is useless for me to say here, that sadness swept over us; as we heard the sobs of those poor unfortunate girls. Let every Christian that reads these lines, lift your heart to Qod, in behalf of these unfortunate girls of our land, and send a contribution to the matron to help lift the heavy bur den off of her; as she only looks to God for help. Now comes another experience, As we were waiting at the depot, the alarm was given, and the "great iron horse" came dashing up. "panting as if off a long journey" with his great train of ears. We had our berth assigned us. in the "sleeper". I said to my wife, "it has been a long time since 1 was rocked to sleep, over 40 years ago. Really was anxious for the experience.

We started, anything but a cradle to me. We were dashed from this side to that, until we were like Paul In the storm on the sea, wished for day. Finally somewhere in a strange land, the porter called out, "daylight" to my great relief. I raised the shade and looked out upon the "Land of Flowers," the most beautiful country 1 ever saw. Perfectly level filled with large pines, palm trees, cypress trees, with beautiful lakes here and there, and the whole country covered with a lovely carpet of grass with largo herds of cuttle here and there, only to add to the grandeur of the scene. The cattle, I noticed were very poor. The sun was just up, when we crossed the river, about 1 mile wide with a great prairie on either side as far as you could see. This too, was a lovely scene. The rising sun, glistening on the water made it have the appear ance of the "sea of glass." We ar rived at Jacksonville, a city of 30,000 inhabitants. Did not remain longer than an hour here, then we started south, still admiring the beautiful lev el country for about fiO miles, then we begun to get Into the Florida sand or loam country, which scenery sur passes anything 1 have ever seen.

I I had the privilege of going to the tree, and eating of its luscious fruit, until thoroughly satisfied. The fruit here is grand.
