J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 7: work of the chaplains and missionaries. (search)
Chapter 7: work of the chaplains and missionaries. Unquestionably one of the most potent factors in the grand success of our work was the union of hearts and hands on the part of chaplains and missionaries, and indeed of all Christian workers of the evangelical denominations. The gifted and lamented Dr. Wm. J. Hoge thus wrote of a visit he made to Fredericksburg in the spring of 1863, during the great revival in Barksdale's Mississippi Brigade: The Rev. Dr. Burrows, of the First Baptist Church, Richmond, was to have preached that night, but as he would remain some days and I could only stay a day, he courteously insisted on my preaching. And so we had a Presbyterian sermon, introduced by Baptist services, under the direction of a Methodist chaplain, in an Episcopal church. Was not that a beautiful solution of the vexed problem of Christian union? This was but a type of what was usual all through the army. No one was asked or expected to compromise in the least the pecul

n soldiers, in faded and tattered uniforms, hasten to the selected spot and gather close around the preacher, who, with Nature's great temple for his church, and the blue canopy of heaven for his sounding board, is fortunate if he have so much as a barrel or wellrounded stump for a pulpit. But I proposed to take you, kind reader, to some of our meetings. Let us first visit the battered old town of Fredericksburg in the early weeks of 1863. We enter at sundown, just as the regiments of Barksdale's Brigade of heroic Missisippians are returning to their quarters from dress parade, and we pause to gaze with admiration on the men who, on that bleak December morning, held the town with such tenacity against Burnside's mighty hosts until Marse Robert had formed on the hills beyond his lines of Gray, against which the waves of Blue surged in vain. Soon we hear the familiar command, Break ranks, and immediately the streets are filled with soldiers eagerly running in a given direction.

on in an army. I have alluded to the great revival in Barksdale's Mississippi Brigade, stationed in the battered old town of Jesus that we have a glorious revival in our brigade (Barksdale's)? This is the twenty-first day of the meeting, and the only wish we had many more such. That night the brigade (Barksdale's) received marching orders, but Brother Owen persisted g preparation, amongst others, in the following brigades: Barksdale's, Stonewall, Lawton's, Walker's, Paxton's, Hoke's, Cobb'nce formed, and in the battles which followed a number of Barksdale's veterans fell bravely doing their duty. Poor fellows, h was only sudden glory. There were in this revival in Barksdale's Brigade at least 500 professions of conversion—many of ealous labors of the Rev. Mr. Owen, Methodist chaplain in Barksdale's Brigade. The Rev. Dr. Burrows, of the Baptist Church, n my walk to enjoy an admirable military band attached to Barksdale's noble Mississippi Brigade, I was introduced to the gene
