J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 2: influence of Christian officers. (search)
nforced religion, and never required the students by any collge law to attend chapel or church, but he did everything in his power to influence them to do so, and with the largest success. At the Concert of Prayer for Colleges, in Lexington, in 1869, I made an address in which I urged that the great need of our colleges was a genuine, pervasive revival—that this could only come from God; and that inasmuch as He has promised His Holy Spirit to those who ask Him, we should make special prayer fd, with more than his usual warmth: I wish, sir, to thank you for your address; it was just what we needed. Our great want is a revival which shall bring these young men to Christ. During the great revival in the Virginia Military Institute in 1869 he said to his pastor, with deep emotion: That is the best news I have heard since I have been in Lexington. Would that we could have such a revival in all our colleges! Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick, professor of moral philosophy in Washington College,

ought almost daily, Bryan's Georgia Brigade had a season of comparative repose, while held in reserve, when they had from three to five meetings a day, which resulted in about fifty professions of conversion, most of whom Rev. W. L. Curry, the efficient chaplain of the Fiftieth Georgia Regiment, baptized in a pond which was exposed to the enemy's fire, and where several men were wounded while the ordinance was being administered. Major Robert Stiles, of Richmond, in an address delivered in 1869 before the Male Orphan Asylum of Richmond, related an incident which illustrates the point I am making, and which I will not mar by condensing, but give in his own eloquent words: One of the batteries of our own battalion was composed chiefly of Irishmen from a Southern city—gallant fellows, but wild and reckless. The captaincy becoming vacant, a backwoods Georgia preacher, named C——, was sent to command them. The men, at first half-amused, half-insulted, soon learned to idolize as well <

pel, where believers may be edified in the faith, and faith, the gift of God, may be imparted to sinners? General C. A. Evans, of Georgia (the gallant and accomplished soldier who succeeded General Gordon in his brigade and then in his division), was a leading lawyer before the war, but became very active as a Christian in the army, and was gradually led to decide that he would become a preacher of the Gospel if spared to see the close of the war. When on a visit to Athens, Georgia, in 1869, it was my privilege to find him pastor of the Methodist Church there, to fill his pulpit, to renew at his hospitable board the Christian friendship formed in the camp, and to learn from him that three others of his military family had consecrated themselves to the work of preaching the Gospel. General Evans is now one of the leading preachers in his Church. There were reported at one of our chaplains' meetings twenty soldiers—from the rank of colonel down—who had determined to preach. I
