haracter successfully at work in this wide and inviting field. The Georgia Bible and Colportage Society, Rev. F. M. Haygood, agent, was actively engaged in the work of printing and circulating tracts in the armies of the South-west. The South Carolina Tract Society was an earnest ally in the holy cause, and sent out its share of tracts to swell the vast number scattered like leaves of the Tree of Life all over the land. The presses in every great commercial centre were busy in throwing a hymn; I repeated, Jesus lover of my soul. He remarked, Where else but in Jesus can a poor sinner trust? Just as he passed away, he looked up to heaven and said, Heaven is so sweet to me, and to the presence of Jesus he went. Another from South Carolina sang with joy, Happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away. Young B——, of Virginia, was resigned and even rejoiced at the near prospect of death.

fame. A lady, writing from the hospital at Culpeper Court House, says: I have lost four of my patients. Three of them died rejoicing in Jesus. They were intelligent, noble, godly young men. One from Virginia said to me as he was dying: Sing me a hymn. I repeated, Jesus, lover of my soul. He remarked, Where else but in Jesus can a poor sinner trust? Just as he passed away, he looked up and said, Heaven is so sweet to me; and to the presence of Jesus he went. Another from South Carolina seemed very happy, and sung with great delight, Happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away. Young B——, of Virginia, was resigned and even rejoiced at the near prospect of death. He repeated the line. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord. His end was peace. One of these young men had determined to enter the Christian ministry. The scene described by Rev.

ler as a type of the noble soldiery that compose our Southern army. It is as fair as it would be to take some of the lazy, good-for-nothing preachers at home as types of our Southern ministry. But I find that I am making this notice rather lengthy, and must pass on. We found the meeting so exceedingly pleasant that we determined to hold another next Tuesday, and to have them as frequently as circumstances would permit. A committee (consisting of Rev. B. T. Lacy, Rev. W. C. Power, of South Carolina, and J. Wm. Jones) was appointed at this meeting to issue an address to the Churches of the Confederacy on the needs of the army. The following paper, written by Mr. Lacy, was adopted by the association, and is reproduced here as showing the views and feelings of the chaplains at the time: Dear Brethren: The relations which we sustain to the various branches of the Church of Christ in our country, and the position which we hold in the Army of the Confederate States, induces us to ad

less professors awakened to their duty. But when we came back from Sharpsburg to rest for a season amid the green fields and beautiful groves, and beside the clear streams of the lower Valley of Virginia, there began that series of revivals which went graciously and gloriously on until there had been over fifteen thousand professions of conversion in Lee's Army, and there had been wrought a moral and religious revolution which those who did not witness it can scarcely appreciate. A South Carolina chaplain writes, from camp near Richmond, to the Southern Presbyterian: I am both astonished and I trust grateful to see how attentively officers and men listen to the preached word, and how eagerly they read the tracts which I have been able to supply. It would gladden the heart of many a pious friend at home if they could be permitted to listen to the chorus of manly voices which blend in singing the sweet songs of Zion amid the green trees of our bivouac. The tone of morality is muc

B. Kershaw, of South Carolina (now Judge Kershaw), who commanded the brigade at the time. I will only prho die in the Lord. On the same field fell Major James Harvey Dingle, of South Carolina. He was a true Christian soldier. His colonel said of him: He was one of y of the Christian soldier was the same. Francis M. Bobo, of Spartansburg, South Carolina, exclaimed when dying: I would not take ten thousand worlds for my prospeclet my last end be like his. Lieutenant Cotesworth Pinckney Seabrook, of South Carolina, fell on the field of Chancellorsville. His splendid career and happy endng the cherished friends of my university days I counted Wm. T. Haskell, of South Carolina, one of the purest, truest, noblest, Christian gentlemen whom I ever knew.

The results, etc., of my labors there you know something of. In December, 1863, I followed the brigade (Wise's) to South Carolina; labored much among the troops there, scattered as they were in isolated camps from Charleston to Pocataligo and beyond, a distance of twenty-five or thirty miles. About this time scarcely ever prnt— chaplains were, if not nuisances, at least, supernumeraries. But preached on. Upon visiting a certain village in South Carolina, 1863, received a letter from an unknown lady asking that I would call on her, alleging a special reason. I was sick R.
