J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 6: hospital work. (search)
up everything for the comfort and salvation of a poor wounded soldier as he pines upon his cot, away from the fond endearments of home? Rev. J. C. Hiden is laboring efficiently here as chaplain. Gordonsville now affords a fine field for doing good. Besides the hospitals, the encampments in this vicinity contain many who have both the time and the desire to attend religious services. I am informed that within a few weeks over thirty soldiers here have made a profession of religion. Rev. D. B. Ewing, of the Presbyterian Church, is the post chaplain. He is eminently adapted to such labors, and finds much encouragement in the work. Brother Ewing, assisted by several of the chaplains, is now holding a protracted meeting. A. E. D. July 2, 1863. We have now a noble band of laborers in the hospitals, ministering to the spiritual wants of our suffering soldiers. In Richmond, we have Elders R. Ryland, D. Shaver, B. Philips, J. W. Williams, and others; at Petersburg, Elder Thos.

s last meeting many had requested prayer for their souls. Rev. J. A. Broadus testified similarly. He had been deceived as to preaching among the soldiers; for not half had been told him. He had no idea of the state of religious feeling here, though he had had more opportunities than many out of the army to know the truth of the matter. He had never enjoyed preaching so much. A far larger proportion of men attend divine services here than at home. They come because they choose here. Rev. D. B. Ewing, chaplain of the post at Gordonsville, had been much blessed in his labors in the hospital. He never met with a repulse in presenting Christ. Many were converted. Judging the religious sentiment of the army from cases sent to the hospital, he pronounced it better than that of the Church at home. The scarred veteran would meet with a religious chill on returning to his Church. This is a brief account of the results of our meeting on August 11th and on August 18th, when the confere

ome of the brethren had cut off the ice from a space sufficient for our purpose. We sang an appropriate hymn, earnest prayer was offered, and appropriate passages of Scripture read, and, in the presence of a large and solemn congregation, I went down into the water and buried with Christ in baptism the fourteen young brethren whom I had received. Tuesday, February 23. We had to-day a very interesting meeting of our Chaplains' Association. After an earnest and practical sermon from Rev. D. B. Ewing, we had a very interesting report on the religious condition of the army, showing revivals in several of the brigades, and a hopeful state of religion in all. Nearly every regiment has its Bible-classes and prayer-meetings, thousands of pages of religious reading, and all the copies of the word of God that can be obtained, are regularly distributed, and great attention is being given to the primary schools, in which many poor fellows are being taught to read and write. These reports cl

Dispatch.the National fast day. Gordonsville, Va., June 13, 1861. This day was observed throughout the whole of this community, according to the proclamation of the President of the Confederate States, as a day of fasting and solemn prayer to God for a blessing on our Southern cause. All necessary business was suspended, every store closed, and the quiet and solemnity of a Sabbath reigned around. Religious services were held in the Presbyterian Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. D. B. Ewing. All the denominations united in the services, and all seemed deeply impressed with the solemnities of the occasion. Never was more unanimity manifested in any cause, than that with reference to which this solemn convocation was held. The very servants all seemed to enter with hearty zeal into the objects of the day, and testified their approval by contributing their means to sustain the war in which their welfare is so much at stake. The contributions amounted to between forty and
