J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 3: influence of Christian officers—continued. (search)
But I expect to receive far more credit for it than I deserve. Most men will think I had planned it all from the first; but it was not so—I simply took advantage of circumstances as they were presented to me in the Providence of God. I feel that His hand led me: let us give Him all the glory. When he had been removed to the house of Mr. Chandler, near Guinea's Station, and had so far rallied as to feel confident of his recovery, he talked very freely on his favorite religious topics. Dr. Dabney says (in his admirable biography of Jackson, to which I am indebted for several incidents given above): He requested his chaplain to visit him at 10 o'clock each morning for reading the Scriptures and prayer. These seasons were the occasions of much religious conversation, in which he unbosomed himself with unusual freedom and candor. He declared that his faith and hope in his Redeemer were clear. He said he was perfectly willing to die at that time; but believed that his time was not

we are not marching; and when a box comes in from home, we live and feel like princes. I am sorry that father could not visit us, but hope he will still do so. He will feel quite at home at General Jackson's Headquarters with the general and Dr. Dabney. The latter is very busy, but preaches whenever he has an opportunity. I heard him last Saturday, then twice on the Sabbath, when about two hundred soldiers received the sacrament of the Lord's Supper at his hands. This was a spiritual feast the posture in which he was found, it is sufficient to remark, that one saw him before and the other after he had been turned from the posture in which he fell. The first of these extracts is from a letter of General Thomas J. Jackson to Rev. Dr. Dabney. The general says: In the second battle of Manassas I lost more than one personal friend. Among the number was Captain Hugh A. White. We were members of the same church, and had been co-laborers in the same Sabbath-school. His Chris

I do not believe that Dr. Burrows, Dr. Stiles, Dr. Hoge, Dr. Dabney, Dr. Pryor, Dr. Lacy, Dr. Moore, Dr. Read, Dr. Duncan, Dexpressed themselves as deeply affected by them. Rev. Dr. R. L. Dabney was a gallant and efficient officer on Jackson's stt fully endorse what he called its extreme Calvinism. Dr. Dabney rode with General Jackson into the very thickest of the ore than we do. The gallant Major Nelson frequently met Dr. Dabney and discussed with him his doctrine of Special Providencode up to him and with a graceful military salute said: Major Dabney, every shot and shell and minnie strikes just where thech things between themselves and Special Providence. But Dr. Dabney promptly replied: Why, Major, you do not understand the nced, and accepted the doctrine of Special Providence as Dr. Dabney expounded it. I remember that, remaining for a seasoninnie-balls would whistle by our ears, and (forgetful of Dr. Dabney's application of the doctrine of Special Providence) I f

$505.25; the Fourth Regiment also contributed $349.75, both of which sums were forwarded through me to the injured city. Contributions were also made by other regiments; but the amounts I cannot state. Two tracts which I had requested Rev. R. L. Dabney, D. D., to write, one on Profane Swearing, and one on Christ our Substitute, were published, and I found them of great efficacy. Increased interest had also been manifested in Brigadier-General J. M. Jones's Brigade, near us, and with it incrcies and protection, which was much enjoyed throughout this portion of the army; preaching and prayer-meetings in the day. June 15, much to our surprise as to our joy, no orders to move, and we spent the day quietly—preaching in the morning by Dr. Dabney; in the evening enjoyed a communion season, in which many participated and drew near to Jesus. Sunday, June 22. Much rejoiced to find we had no marching to perform to-day, but allowed a quiet rest; participated in the usual church privilege
