J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 8: eagerness of the soldiers to hear the Gospel. (search)
sissippi Brigade writes of conducting religious services while the pickets were fighting heavily six hundred yards in front, and with balls falling all around. Preaching was heard with eagerness, penitents were numerous, and seventeen young converts were baptized. I knew of several instances on the Petersburg lines where men were wounded in congregations which remained quiet while the preacher continued his sermon. We were blessed with a comparatively quiet Sabbath at Cold Harbor in June, 1864, and the chaplains generally availed themselves of the opportunity to hold frequent services. I preached four times that day to very large and deeply solemn congregations. The service at sundown was especially impressive. It was held on the very ground over which the grand charge of the Confederates was made on the memorable 27th of June, 1862, and was attended by an immense crowd. It was a beautiful Sabbath eve, and all nature seemed to invite to peace and repose. But the firing of t

here in this world, may not the soul be happier in heaven on account of that very suffering? Oh, mother, let us trust Jesus. I pray to Him to enable me to do my duty in His name. I find, thank God, that I am useful as a Christian. By holding prayer-meetings and Bible-class in my company the boys who are religious have greatly improved. They are much more thoughtful and attentive than they were when I first returned to my company. He fell in the heroic effort to save Petersburg in June, 1864; lingered until the 24th of August, and calmly passed away, murmuring with his dying breath: Father, into Thy hands I commit my spirit. The noble death of Louis Rogers was but the fulfilment of the prophecy of his noble life when I knew him at the university. General Henry A. Wise, in a letter to his father, pays this young soldier the following glowing tribute. Richmond, Virginia, July 5, 1869. My Dear Sir: . . . I first noticed Louis in a shady retreat from the camp at Chaf

etings. About thirty men professed faith in Christ. I baptized some six or eight. Rev. D. B. Winfree, of Chesterfield, preached five times in the meeting. In June, 1864, by the request of Brother Hyde, I aided him again at the same place for two weeks. Our meeting was suddenly closed by a large number of men coming to the hospi was practicable. J. W. Bivens, Company O (Baptist), held regularly every night after roll-call prayer in his company, so long as he remained. He lost an arm, June, 1864. Then his brother, J. A. Bivens. a subject of the revival of April, 1864, took his place until he was mortally wounded at Winchester, September, 1864. A. B. Wy, one of the best friends I ever had, one of the most promising men I ever knew. He was killed while in command of Early's old brigade, at Bethesda Church, in June, 1864. His earnest request was, that if he was ever wounded he wanted the surgeon to tell him his true condition. Dr. Etheridge told him that he was mortally wound

nded, in co-operation with the various Battle-field Relief Committees and at the General Receiving and Distributing Hospital. Have distributed 5,000 copies of the Herald, 20,000 pages of tracts, and preached only three sermons during the month Have made arrangements to furnish all who wish sacred literature either at Marietta or Atlanta for the present.—Soldiers are in fine spirits, cheerful and confident of success in the decisive conflict. Yours truly, S. M. Cherry. Report for June, 1864. Our army has been in battle line in the vicinity of Marietta and New Hope Church the entire month. While the soldiers are in the trenches and subject to the fire of the foe almost daily the facilities for preaching are few, and the missionaries and chaplains are more efficient at the field-hospitals than they would be along the lines. The soldiers are very eager for suitable reading while confined so closely to the trenches, and I have spared no pains in furnishing all that I could r
