The Virginia Episcopal Mission Committee heartily united in the work, and spent thousands of dollars per annum in sending missionaries to the army, and in printing and circulating tracts. Rev.

Gatewood and Kepler, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, were the zealous directors of operations in Virginia, while in other States such men as Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, Doctor, now Bishop, Quintard, of Tennessee, and the lamented General Polk, gave the weight of their influence and the power of their eloquence, written and oral, to promote the cause of religion among our soldiers. At Raleigh, N. C., early in the war, Rev. W. J. W. Crowder commenced the publication of tracts, encouraged and assisted by contributions from all classes of persons.

The enemy's battery by this time began to fire with great rapidity, and the body was borne back on a litter under a heavy fire. Upon examination of the pockets of his coat were found, in that of the left side, his Book of Common Prayer for the service of the P. E. Church, and in the right pocket four copies of the Rev. Dr. Quintard's little work, entitled Balm for the Weary and the Wounded. Upon the fly-leaves of each of these little volumes, indicating for whom they were intended, was inscribed the names respectively of General Joseph E. Johnston, Lieutenant-General Hardee, and Lieutenant-General Hood, with the compliments of Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk-June 12th, 1864. Within the fourth volume was inscribed his own name. All were saturated with the blood which flowed from the wound. Of many Chri
