lminated in the great revival along the Rapidan in August, 1863, which reached nearly the whole army, and really did not cease until the surrender at Appomattox. On Sunday evening, September 6, 1863, I had an engagement to preach for Brother J. J. D. Renfroe, chaplain of the Tenth Alabama, in the great revival in Wilcox's Brigade, camped near the Rapidan, not far from Orange Court House. As further illustrating the character of our world, I may mention that I preached to a large congregatiomost interesting baptismal scene in a creek near the railroad, about a mile and a half north of Orange Court House, where Dr. Andrew Broaddus, of Caroline county (acting for Chaplain Hilary E. Hatcher, of Mahone's Brigade, who was sick), and Chaplain Renfroe baptized eightytwo soldiers belonging to Mahone's Virginia and Wilcox's Alabama Brigades. About five thousand soldiers, from the general to the private, lined the banks. There was deep solemnity pervading the vast throng, and a more impres

Renfroe, chaplain Tenth Alabama Regiment, writes as follows: We have a splendid protracted meeting in progress in the bris. L. C. Vass, Secretary. camp near Orange Court House, September 1. For nearly a week I have been aiding Rev. J. J. D. Renfroe, chaplain Tenth Alabama, in a protracted meeting. I found Brother Renfroe nearly broken down, having been for threturning, after the war is over, to aid in establishing Churches and in preaching the Gospel to every creature. Rev. J. J. D. Renfroe, a laborious and successful chaplain, was for a brief period in the employ of the Sunday-school and Publication Bers, one a colonel, the other a captain, lying side by side, and both wounded. They had a Bible between them. Rev. J. J. D. Renfroe, in a private letter from the Army of Northern Virginia, to a member of his Church, Talladega, Alabama, says: Wer

inia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The great heart of the congregation united in singing, People of the living God; some passages of Scripture bearing on the ordinance were read, and prayer offered for the presence and blessing of the Master, and then, as Am I a soldier of the Cross? was sung with the spirit and understanding, Brother W. B. Carson, chaplain of the Fourteenth South Carolina, led the willing converts down into the water and buried them with Christ in baptism. Brother J. J. D. Renfroe, of the Tenth Alabama Regiment, has baptized a number recently in his own brigade and in Law's. Other brethren are frequently doing the same, and numbers of young converts are uniting with other denominations. I have not heard from Thomas's or Wright's Georgia Brigade recently, but presume that the good work still goes on in these brigades. Rev. J. C. Granberry, Methodist missionary to Hill's Corps (and, by the way, one of the ablest preachers and most efficient workers I know)

I baptized about two hundred while I was in the army, two years, but nearly half of them were men of other brigades than my own, and converted under the ministry of other men.
