went on with unusual power. In response to the urgent demand for more laborers in this great field, the different Churches sent forth all earnest workers that could be spared from the home work. Rev. Messrs. McFerrin, Petway, and Ransom, of the M. E. Church, South, went to the help of Gen. Bragg's army; Messrs. Thweat and Harrington, of the same Church, to the army in Mississippi; while Bishop Pierce, Dr. A. L. P. Green, and Rev. J. E. Evans, went to Gen. Lee's army in Virginia. Rev. Dr. Kavanaugh was sent to the army of General Price, and Rev. Mr. Marvin (now Bishop) was directed by Bishop Pierce to take position as missionary with any army corps west of the Mississippi. The work of these ministers, with that of other zealous men from sister Churches, gave a great impulse to the revival. In Colonel Colquitt's 46th Georgia regiment, camped near Vernon, Miss., the work was powerful, and great numbers were converted. Last night, says Rev. T. C. Stanley, there were about eighty

Lee's corps, North Mississippi; J. J. Hutchinson to army about Mobile; and beyond the Mississippi river, J. C. Keener to Louisiana troops, and B. T. Kavanaugh and E. M. Marvin to Missouri and Arkansas troops. Besides these, and others probably whose names have escaped us, the Conferences of the M. E. Church, Sout upon a nation be worse than war? But let us turn from these sad scenes to a more cheerful picture opening in the far Southwest. Beyond the Mississippi, as Dr. Kavanaugh has already related, his work and that of his co-laborers was greatly blessed of God. In a letter to Bishop Paine, of the M. E. Church, South, he gave a repor

hang them with; and they then proceeded to execute the sentence of the court with all the decorum and solemnity that would have been observed by our own people. It is certainly strange that the officers in charge of this prison should have allowed such a court to be established by the prisoners; but in war, which is a dreadful trade, we are met on all sides by scenes that would shock us terribly in times of peace. In the far Southwest the great revival influence, already noticed by Dr. Kavanaugh, was felt among the soldiers with great power. In two brigades there were over five hundred conversions. The scenes were much like those witnessed sixty or seventy years ago. Dr. K. says in his report Wicked men come into the congregation, or into the outskirts of it, and are suddenly stricken down and fall to the earth, and remain for hours speechless and apparently unconscious. Some of their friends became alarmed for them and spoke of running for the doctor. But old Bro. Talbot
