ty of the Southern Methodist Church report favorably as to the fruit of their labors in the hospital. Rev. J. E. McSparran reports four conversions in the hospitals at Lynchburg, and many seriously and anxiously inquiring the way of life. Rev. J. E. Martin reports sixteen conversions in the Chimborazo Hospital, Richmond. He has found only twelve men who could not read, and they were mostly foreigners. One young man was very anxious to learn to read. I procured a spelling-book, and in a fewrst came into the hospital I was sad and dissatisfied, but since I have been here I have learned of Jesus, and thank God even for tribulations. There is great need of Testaments, as many are destitute of them. . . . A. E. Dickinson. Rev. Joseph E. Martin, from Chimborazo Hospital at Richmond, writes: We have had lately sixteen conversions.

the week; that Brother Wiatt has baptized seventy-two up to this time; that 185 have professed religion; that the exercises throughout have been characterized by deep heart excitement, without any noise or confusion; that I expect to return in eight or ten days; that I fondly hope that many others will be converted; and that I am still yours affectionately, A. Broaddus. Kingston, North Carolina, July 28. I am now assisting the chaplain of the Forty-second North Carolina Regiment, General Martin's Brigade, in a series of meetings every night when the weather permits. The congregations are very large and attentive. Many come forward and ask God's people to pray for them. I am very much pleased with my new field of labor thus far. The soldiers appreciate kindness. G. W. Camp. By the first of August General Lee's army was camped along the line of the Rapidan (from Liberty Mills, above Orange Court House, to Raccoon Ford, below), and God blessed us with seasons of refreshing

whom he publicly confessed. A soldier said to me on the street, You are the gentleman who gave me a tract the other day. I had read it before, at home, but never has the reading of that book so affected me as of late; away from home and friends, it is doubly sweet. Three have professed conversion from reading, Why will ye die? several from reading A Mother's Parting Words. A soldier told me The Call to Prayer had roused him to a sense of his duty as a professor of religion. Rev. Joseph E. Martin, from Chimborazo hospital at Richmond, writes: We have had lately sixteen conversions. One young man was very anxious to learn to read. I procured him a spelling-book, and in a few days he learned so rapidly as to be able to read the Testament. He has since professed religion. A middle-aged man from Georgia has learned to read since he joined the army, and has committed to memory almost all the New Testament with the book of Job. Another faithful laborer says: A young man said

In Tappan's brigade, the devoted chaplains have built a large log church, 60 by 80 feet, and are determined to keep up their meetings. I dedicate it next Sunday. I am greatly delighted with my work on this side of the river. I have gone into it with all my energy, and indeed over-did my strength the first round; but as the weather is not so favorable for out-door work this round I shall not be able to preach so of
