Interesting fact.

--An influential chaplain in the Confederate army states an interesting fact with reference to three of the tracts published by the Colportage Board located in this city. The first tract was prepared by Rev. Dr. Jeter, of Richmond, the other by Rev. George B. Taylor, of Staunton. Says the chaplain in his letter: ‘"From the tract, 'A Mother's Parting Word to her Soldier Boy, ' eight precious souls date their conversion to God. The tracts, 'Are You a Soldier?' and 'I am a Soldier,' have resulted in the conversion of five." ’
