J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 2: influence of Christian officers. (search)
Chapter 2: influence of Christian officers. No army, with whose history I am acquainted, at least, was ever blessed with so large a proportion of high officers who were earnest Christian men, as the Army of Northern Virginia. We had at first such specimens of the Christian soldier as R. E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, D. H. Hill, T. R. Cobb, A. H. Colquitt, Kirby Smith, J. E. B. Stuart, W. N. Pendleton, John B. Gordon, C. A. Evans, A. M. Scales, Willie Pegram, Lewis Minor Coleman, Thos. H. Carter, Carter Braxton, Charles S. Venable, and a host of others too numerous to mention. And during the war Generals Ewell, Pender, Hood, R. H. Anderson, Rodes, Paxton, W. H. S. Baylor, Colonel Lamar, and a number of others of our best officers professed faith in Christ. Nor was the example of these noble men merely negative— many of them were active workers for the Master, and did not hesitate, upon all proper occasions, to stand up for Jesus. Our Christian President, Jefferson Davis, w

hat enterprise. A younger brother asked Professor Coleman's advice concerning his joining the compspeaking of his visit, the old lady said: Captain Coleman looked about and found my Bible; he read uently thrown into close intercourse with Captain Coleman. He says: I was struck, upon my first acher at the residence of a mutual friend. Captain Coleman went into her room just before she retire the reorganization of the army, in 1862, Captain Coleman was appointed major of artillery and soon First Regiment of Virginia Artillery. Colonel Coleman was always to be found in his place, nevettle-field convinced him that the soul of Colonel Coleman was always fixed upon the one sure hope ato fall upon such, to me, sacred ground. Colonel Coleman replied, If I am killed in this war I sho hasten to the sad close of this sketch. Colonel Coleman was on duty with his regiment at the battrning, so the unostentatious virtues of Lewis Minor Coleman refreshed the hearts, gladdened and mad[7 more...]

there is a good deal of religious interest. Rev. Dr. Burrows, of Richmond, has been laboring with them for a week, with his usual success. He has also delivered his admirable lecture (which I am glad to say will soon be published) on Colonel Lewis Minor Coleman, the Christian Scholar and Soldier, and as Colonel Coleman was attached to this command at the time of his death, there was the deepest interest in the lecture, and great good must have been accomplished by its delivery. I have beenColonel Coleman was attached to this command at the time of his death, there was the deepest interest in the lecture, and great good must have been accomplished by its delivery. I have been on the sick list for the past week and have not, therefore, been able to visit the camps to much extent, but learn that there is a great deal of religious interest in many of the brigades, and deeply interesting revivals in several of them. I have engagements to baptize in several of the regiments as soon as I am well enough to do so. These candidates professed conversion under the labors of a Methodist and two Presbyterian chaplains, and desiring to join Baptist Churches these brethren promp

ittle account to his Church, so careless in meeting his Church duties, before he entered the army, that the Church was thinking seriously of excluding him from her fellowship. The Southern Presbyterian gives the following concerning Colonel Lewis Minor Coleman, of whom I have already had an extended notice. The following statement by the Richmond correspondent of the Christian Index is only one instance of what may be many times repeated, if we but have faith in God and do not stint ourrs. Out of the army and from the bloody battle-field God will raise up faithful servants and able preachers of the precious Gospel. This recalls a fact of which I had designed to speak some time since. The Christian character of Lieutenant-Colonel L. M. Coleman, formerly professor of Latin in the University of Virginia, was wonderfully developed by the war. Before going into the field, notwithstanding his rare mental gifts, he was undemonstrative and retiring in religious matters, shrinking

, of my company, Gilliam, of Amherst Battery, etc. We had no revival during that winter. The spring of 1862 was a new era in our history. We left General Pendleton, and were attached to Colonel J. T. Brown's Artillery, where I suppose there might have been about fifty per cent. of religious men among the officers, and something over this among the men. Colonel Brown favored religion and encouraged chaplains, tracts, prayer-meetings, etc. But, coupled with him, we find the indomitable L. M. Coleman, whose whole weight was on the side of Christ, who often sent for me to talk of plans for religious services, etc. He lived a monument of God's grace, and died rejoicing in the faith. This was an active campaign with us, but we kept up religious services as well as possible. All who were really pious before held their ground, but the chaff was sifted out. That winter we were in Caroline county-had no chapel, but had meetings occasionally—grew rather lukewarm. In next campaign was the
