J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 8: eagerness of the soldiers to hear the Gospel. (search)
f veterans, his very soul was stirred within him, and he determined to know nothing among them save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. If the personal allusions may be pardoned, I do not believe that Dr. Burrows, Dr. Stiles, Dr. Hoge, Dr. Dabney, Dr. Pryor, Dr. Lacy, Dr. Moore, Dr. Read, Dr. Duncan, Dr. Granberry, Dr. Rosser, Dr. Doggett, Dr. Edwards, Dr. John A.

into a revival of increasing power, when it was interrupted by the active campaign which culminated in the great victory of First Fredericksburg. Dr. Stiles thus wrote of his labors at this time: At his earnest request, I preached to General Pryor's Brigade last Sabbath. Upon one hour's notice, he marched up 1,500 men, who listened with so much interest to a long sermon that I was not surprised to hear of such a beginning of religious interest in various regiments of the brigade as ismunificent liberality, of their possessions, that the board may meet these pressing demands? A. E. Dickinson, Superintendent, etc. Dear Brethren: Our brigade has just moved, and suspended the protracted meeting which I told you in my last Dr. Pryor had commenced, in conjunction with the regimental chaplains. There have been about twenty-five conversions, and the meeting closed with about the same number of mourners at the anxious seat. We did not experience such blessings as have descen

Wiatt, is untiring in his efforts among us, and is constantly working for the spiritual welfare of the men. He is greatly beloved by all, and may his labors among us be blessed more abundantly, and all of us be made to rejoice by seeing all of our regiment converted to God! Pray for us, my dear brother. Petersburg, Virginia, April 17. There is quite an interesting meeting in progress in the South Carolina hospital. It commenced some five weeks since. The chaplain is assisted by Rev. Dr. Pryor, who was providentially detained here from his field of labor in the army. His services were very acceptable, and I trust greatly blessed. Taylorsville, Virginia, April 3. I trust the Lord has commenced a gracious revival in Johnson's Brigade, now stationed at this place. Notwithstanding the weather has been very unfavorable, the work still progresses. I preached to large and attentive congregations during the past week. As many as twenty-five at one time came forward for praye

ness of this great work. Rev. B. T. Lacy, missionary chaplain in Jackson's Corps, in an address before his Synod, said, in speaking of the genuineness of the revival work in the army: In this matter there is one safeguard in the camp. They are all grown men; even the sick are away in the hospitals. Most of the elements are absent upon which mere enthusiasm operates. He was satisfied the ordinary evil results from religious excitements are less in the army than at home. Rev. Dr. Theodorick Pryor, of the Presbyterian Church, who labored in the army with great ability and a burning zeal which younger men might covet, thus gives his impressions of the work: Whilst with the army (a period of about two years) my impressions were most favorable as to the influence and effect of religious truth. It appeared to me that during a career of ministerial experience extending through thirty-four years I had never witnessed more precious seasons of grace, or more signal displays of D

le brigade, and sometimes to other regiments and brigades. Often also I preached during the week, in the day or at night. I distributed a great many tracts and religious papers among our men, which were generally very readily, and sometimes gladly, received. I was present a part of the time (luring the revival in Orange county after our troops returned from the battle of Gettysburg. There was great interest on the subject of religion then through our whole division. The preaching of Dr. Pryor, Rev. J. C. Granberry and others was much blessed. A number, I know not how many, professed religion in my brigade, some few in my own small regiment. When we were ordered to march many were still anxious inquirers. Among others who professed religion there was the assistant surgeon of our regiment, Dr. H——. He afterwards gave abundant evidence of a change of heart. I saw much of him for months afterwards, and can say that no subject appeared to have anything like as much interest for

er a venerable Methodist minister of Nashville, Tennessee. Our wounded called to me for help. I took up Lieutenant Beasley and rode out, when the order to retire came. Went back and brought off three more of our boys; got an ambulance for Lieutenant Pryor, who could not sit on my horse—spent awhile with the Federal wounded. Saw Lieutenant Whitecotton, Third Georgia Battalion, wounded in the head. The three named are of our battalion. Two Federals, wounded in the back, asked me to have them Breckinridge made an attack late in the afternoon to turn the Federals' left flank. His loss was heavy. Among the mortally wounded I saw General Hanson, of Kentucky. His wife and sister were weeping above the dying general. January 3. Lieutenant Pryor died to-day. I talked to him of his future hopes. They were not such as he wished. I called on Chaplains W. C. Atmore, Fifteenth Kentucky; J. E. Reed, Thirty-eighth Illinois, and J. C. Thomas, Eighty-eighth Illinois, of the Federal army—a

f May I wrote an account of this action, from which I take the following extracts: About ten o'clock our brigade went into action on the enemy's left flank, and Lieutenant Patterson Captain John R.

Dr. Theodorick Pryor. this morning that General Longstreet told him that the brigade behaved very well, and the Twelfth regiment most gallantly. We drove the enemy beautifully for a half mile or more through the woods, killing and wounding many of them. The casualties in the Twelfth were five killed—Wm. F. Pucci, Mr. W. W. Tayleure gives the following pathetic incident as to young Pucci: Just a few days before the spring campaign opened with this battle, there was quite a religious revival going on in the camps, and many were induced to join the church. Young Pucci had written home to his mother asking her advice upon the subject. A letter was received by me for him, and one to me also, asking me to advise him to

a good deal. The Cavalry, especially, were exposed; and many of the members who came up with the remains of Captain Fisher are laboring under severe catarrhal affections. The dedication of the new Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev. Theodorick Pryor, D. D., is pastor, will take place to-morrow afternoon. The Rev. Messrs, Martin, of Nottoway, and McIlwaine, of Amelia, with other ministers, are expected to participate in the ceremony. When Dr. Pryor came here several years ago, the conDr. Pryor came here several years ago, the congregation was small. But under his ministry there have been numerous accessions to the church, until at length a new building became necessary for their accommodation. The church edifice is very handsome, and will compare favorably with others that have been recently erected in this city. A great deal of anxiety has been manifested here to see President Davis, and large numbers of persons have collected at the depot, awaiting the arrival of each train from the South. The news of the
