J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 6: hospital work. (search)
imself a warm place in the hearts of his brethren and a prospect for still larger success, which his recent death has cut off Huguenot Springs, August 10th. I am glad to announce that the Lord has been good to us at this post. For some time past deep seriousness has pervaded the minds of the masses of the soldiers congregated here. Profound attention has been given to the preached word, and your unworthy brother has never been more encouraged in holding forth the word of life. Brother H. Hatcher recently aided in a series of meetings, and, as the result, the writer baptized sixteen noble soldiers, who henceforth purpose to be soldiers of the Cross and followers of the Lamb. I am happy to say that at least one of these noble young men, a Virginian, has solemnly determined, should God spare his life through this war, to give himself to God in the ministry. And may we not expect many recruits to the ministry from the ranks of our Christian army after the close of this war? As

oice of supplication have been heard. Sermons have also been preached in the trenches— albeit, they have sometimes been cut short by the bursting of the shell or the whistling of the minnie. Rev. Dr. Burrows baptized twenty-two soldiers at Chaffin's Bluff, a week or two since. Richmond, Virginia, Jan. 1, 1865. We are receiving some very refreshing accounts of the work of grace in the army from our missionaries: Rev. P. H. Fontaine reports the baptism of fifty soldiers. Rev. Harvey Hatcher has held several very interesting meetings, in which some seventy souls professed faith in Christ. Brother Hatcher is employed by the board to visit destitute regiments and battalions. He is eminently adapted to army work. Brother R. W. Cridlin, of the Thirty-eighth Virginia, has been greatly blessed. A large proportion of his regiment have made a profession of faith in Christ since Brother Cridlin has been connected with it. Rev. A. Broaddus has recently spent two weeks in p

rs him gratefully and prays for him frequently. If I can assist you further with your book call on me. I am truly glad you have thought of this book. It is much needed. Yours very sincerely and affectionately, G. F. Bagby. From Rev. Harvey Hatcher, Baptist, army Evangelist. 293 Hollins Street, Baltimore, Maryland, April 8, 1867. Brother Jones: Your request in the Herald for all who preached to the men composing the Army of Northern Virginia to send a detailed account of thing hospitals. Some professed conversion, but I took no note of it and can't give the particulars. I send these items for your inspection, though I doubt their worth for your use. God bless you all in Old Virginia. Yours fraternally, Harvey Hatcher. From Rev. H. M White, Presbyterian, chaplain Hardaways Battalion, Artillery. glade spring, Virginia, March 20, 1867. Dear Brother: I am sorry not to be able to give you more statistics. All of my papers, except a pocket note-

Methodist Protestant, with four others who were baptized in the same way—only one service on the water's edge for the two chaplains. Five others were baptized on the land by Chaplain Rosser. The same day I saw Chaplain W. A. Parkes, Methodist South, administer the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to Stewart's Division, and among them, between two soldier communicants, kneeling on the rough logs on the bare ground, was Major-General Stewart, an elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Major Hatcher, one of his staff, kneeled by his side. Dr. McFerrin and many of the chaplains were in the habit of offering the soldiers the privilege of joining the Church by asking all that wished to join the Church to come forward, and their names would be taken and the denomination of their choice and preachers of their own faith and order would be looked up by the preachers, and they would receive baptism at the hands of such ministers as they preferred, and their names could be forwarded whereve
