were these words: We are praying for you, Charlie, that you may become a Christian. That's the sentence, said the grateful boy, and the tears gushed from his eyes. When I was eating those dainties, I thought, mother is praying for me. I knew where she used to go to pray, and I could almost hear the words, We are all praying for you, Charlie, that you may become a Christian. Now, I thank God for a praying mother, for her prayer is answered, and I am happy. The amount contributed during July and August for the Sunday-School and Publication Board will not fall short of twenty thousand dollars. Never have the churches responded more liberally to the claims of this board than of late. A church in Pittsylvania county (Shockoe) has this year given $2,400—one member leading the list with $900—a larger amount than a few years ago was contributed by all the churches in Virginia to Baptist colportage. Berea Church, in Louisa county, instead of giving us about $100 as formerly, has alre

I preached from three to five times per day all during July and August, besides baptizing almost daily. The labors of these months broke me down and I was forced to leave my command on sick furlough. From this time I was not of much service to the brigade until winter. During my absence the prayer-meeti

troops at Bean's Station, having evacuated Cumberland Gap in my absence. I gave our soldiers a talk on the 4th, chiefly incidents of my visit to our friends in the Department of Mississippi. At night preached to a large congregation. Sunday, July 6.9.30 A. M. had a good attendance of the Fourth Tennessee at preaching. At 4 P. M. preached to a large congregation of the Third Georgia. Excellent service. A youth of that command came to speak with me alone. He seemed very serious. He wishat system, promptness, and regularity as when the troops were in camp or quarters. Yet all the papers and other reading I can procure are distributed judiciously to the soldiers, and demands are made for more. The distribution for the month of July amounts to 1,917 Testaments, 17,890 Heralds, and 60,000 pages of tracts for the Soldiers' Tract Association; 225 Bibles and 1,600 Testaments for the Confederate States Bible Society; and 100,000 pages of tracts of the Evangelical Tract Society, be
