J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 10: revivals in the Lower Valley and around Fredericksburg. (search)
h a sermon at 11 o'clock by Rev. A. D. Betts, of the Thirtieth North Carolina, our moderator; and a most excellent discourse it was—earnest, fervent and practical. We spent an hour or more very pleasantly in hearing reports of the religious feeling, etc., in the different regiments. Brother Cameron, of Rodes's Alabama Brigade, reported that he was having an interesting revival—twenty had already made public professions of religion, and there were a large number of other inquirers. Brethren Vass and Grandin reported a very interesting state of things in the Stonewall Brigade-they were holding nightly meetings in their brigade chapel, at which there had been about fifty inquirers, twenty-five of whom had joined the different Churches. The interest in the meetings was daily increasing. Brother Smith, of the Sixtieth Georgia Regiment, reported a number of conversions, four received for baptism, and a large number of inquirers. The brethren generally reported unusual interest in thei

onference was continued. At this latter meeting Rev. J. A. Broadus preached from 2 Cor. II. 16: And who is sufficient for these things. He presented the apostle's example as worthy of our imitation amid all discouragements; and tenderly stated and forcibly illustrated the grounds of St. Paul's confidence. After some further business, the association adjourned to meet on Tuesday, August 25th, at the same place. We left feeling how blessed it was to work for God at such a time as this. L. C. Vass, Secretary. camp near Orange Court House, September 1. For nearly a week I have been aiding Rev. J. J. D. Renfroe, chaplain Tenth Alabama, in a protracted meeting. I found Brother Renfroe nearly broken down, having been for three weeks preaching daily. Our congregations have been very large; for some distance the entire grove being crowded with deeply interested listeners. Never in my life have I seen men so eager to hear and be profited by the word spoken. Though I have preache

After devotional exercises we adjourned, to meet at the same place in two weeks at 11 o'clock, A. M. L. C.

Already eighteen souls have been happily converted and brought to realize the inestimable value of a Saviour's love. And still the good work coor his Master's cause. Some of these persons possess very high abilities. The attention of all the chaplains was directed to the importance of seeking out among professors of religion, suitable men for the great work of preaching the Gospel. L. C. Vass, Permanent Clerk. Brother J. A. Gresham, Wise's Brigade: Our good meetings are still going on, with increased interest. Since their commencement, some eight or nine have professed religion—among them our captain; and others are asking the

Chapter 13: results of the work and proofs of its genuineness From the minutes of our Chaplains' Association (now in my possession, by the kind courtesy of the accomplished secretary and chaplain, Rev. L. C. Vass), the estimate of other chaplains and missionaries in position to know, and a very careful compilation of facts and figures from files of religious newspapers, and hundreds of letters and narratives from chaplains, missionaries, and colporters, I make the following estimate of the number of men in the Army of Northern Virginia who professed faith in Christ during the four years of its existence. During the fall and winter of 1862-63, and spring of 1863, there were at least 1,500 professions. From August, 1863, to the 1st of January, 1864, at least 5,000 found peace in believing. From January, 1864, to the opening of the Wilderness campaign, at least 2,000 more were added to this number. And from May, 1864, to April, 1865, it is a low estimate to put the number of co

Church. A large proportion of the higher officers were men of faith and prayer, and many others, though not professedly religious, were moral and respectful to all the religious services and confessed the value of the revival in promoting the efficiency of the army. As the cloud of war in mid-winter grew thicker and darker over the Confederacy the zeal and faith of the chaplains and missionaries increased. In Petersburg, in December, a meeting was held in which Rev. Dr. Armstrong, Rev. L. C. Vass, Rev. Dr. Pryor, Rev. J. Win. Jones, and Rev. J. C. Granbery, with other faithful laborers, participated. The object was to form an Association of Chaplains and Missionaries for the purpose of conducting more systematically the work of grace among the war-worn veterans. Dr. Armstrong preached an appropriate sermon from the words, The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.
