J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 10: revivals in the Lower Valley and around Fredericksburg. (search)
and the weather has been too inclement for outdoor exercises, I am endeavoring now to preach the Gospel from house to house by holding nightly prayer-meetings, alternating from hut to hut. They are exceedingly pleasant, and are not without fruit. Rev. Dr. Stiles reports to the Christian Observer that there are revivals of religion, or a state of promising preparation, amongst others, in the following brigades: Barksdale's, Stonewall, Lawton's, Walker's, Paxton's, Hoke's, Cobb's, Jones's, Posey's, Wilcox's and Kershaw's. The following letter gives a better account of the condition of things at the time I wrote it than I can give now, and so I insert it in full: camp near Hamilton's Crossing, April 10, 1863. Dear Brethren: I have no stirring news from the seat of war, but can furnish a few items which will be of interest to the lovers of Zion's prosperity. We have had, since my last, two meetings of the chaplains of our corps, which were even more interesting than the firs

are quiet in camp an intense interest in spiritual things is found to pervade the army. Perhaps there is a more hopeful and blessed reviving of God's work here now than ever before. In Ramseur's, Doles's, Smith's, Gordon's, Wright's, Thomas's, Posey's and Scales's Brigades God was working wonderfully. In some, officers and men were together bowed under the heavy burden of their sins; in all, many were earnestly seeking their souls' salvation, and many were rejoicing in hope of reconciliati enter into very few details in the space at my command. But in August, September, October and November, 1863, revivals were reported in Smith's Virginia, Gordon's Georgia, Mahone's Virginia, Hays's Louisiana, Wright's Georgia, Wilcox's Alabama, Posey's Mississippi, Ramseur's North Carolina, Doles's Georgia, Scales's North Carolina, Thomas's Georgia, J.

for the cause of benevolence or God's suffering poor. I have never seen more princely liberality than among these Christian soldiers. I have some old subscription papers— for regimental library, for tracts, Bibles and religious newspapers, for the Fredericksburg sufferers, and other benevolent objects— which show on the part of these men a self-sacrificing liberality which would put to shame any Church in the land to-day. In the winter of 1863-64 the Young Men's Christian Association of Posey's (afterwards Harris's) Mississippi Brigade led off in a movement which was followed by a number of other brigades, and deserves to be written in letters of gold on one of the brightest pages of our country's history. They solemnly resolved to fast one day in every week in order that they might send that day's rations to the suffering poor of the city of Richmond. Think of it, church-members, who, in these days of plenty, plead poverty as an excuse for giving nothing to the cause of Christ

stated that in Jones's Brigade fast-day had been well observed in four services. Much secret interest was discovered among the command. In Wilcox's Brigade the interest continued unabated. There had been seventyfive conversions since we came into camp, near Orange Court House. Brothers Power, Lewis, and others, had been helping the chaplains. Preaching had been suspended and substituted by prayer-meetings, which were thought advisable. Fastday had been strictly observed by all. In Posey's Brigade the work of grace continued, and a great revival was progressing. There had been some fifty or sixty accessions to the Church of Christ, and from forty to fifty persons nightly presented themselves for the prayers of God's people. Fast-day had been observed by everybody in the command. Brother Hyman stated that in Thomas's Brigade the Spirit of the Lord still wrought mightily. Fifty persons had joined the Church, and there had been many more conversions. Fast-day had been we
