J. William Jones, Christ in the camp, or religion in Lee's army, Chapter 9: State of religion in 1861-62. (search)
were stirred up to renewed diligence by the scenes through which they were called on to pass, but, as a wounded soldier put it, God preached to us as all of the preachers on earth could not do. The testimony to the blessed fact of God's presence among the soldiers is most abundant. God is in the army, wrote a pious man; many in my regiment have passed from death unto life. One hundred of my regiment, said a chaplain, have professed conversion since we have been in the service. Rev. J. M. Stokes, chaplain in Wright's Georgia Brigade, says of the religious condition of the troops: I am happy to state that the health of our troops seems to be much better than it was a few months since. It will be a source of delight to Christians and all thinking people to know that the religious element among our troops is much greater now than at any time previous since the war began. I believe sincerely that there is less profanity in a week now, than there was in a day six months ago. A

ss about the preacher for what of tracts, etc., he has to distribute, and it is sad to see hundreds retiring without being supplied! One wishes to give himself away to meet the want. While the country is expending hundreds of millions of dollars, and pouring out its blood like water on the altar of patriotism, let the Church be as prominent in devotion and zeal to religion in the army. Let religion rival patriotism in activity. Light up the great camp of war with celestial fire. Rev. J. M. Stokes, chaplain Third Georgia, reported to the Southern Christian Advocate: Zion is flourishing again in this army. There are as many as twenty chapels. We have had a meeting in progress two weeks, and the interest is increasing daily. We have had several conversions, and there were, I reckon, fifty mourners at the altar for prayer last evening. Our chapel seats between 300 and 400, and is full every night unless the weather is very inclement. Rev. B. T. Lacy, chaplain in Genera

to point them to the friend that sticketh closer than a brother. After preaching, I received five for baptism, and went to my quarters (four miles off), enjoying the moonlight ride and meditating on the great work to be done in our army. [I may add here, as likely to interest your Georgia readers especially, that there have been recently some twenty professions of religion in Wright's Brigade, and there are still a number of inquirers. They have only two chaplains, Rev. Messrs. Cook and Stokes (Methodist), and while they are zealous and efficient they cannot do all the work to be done. They say that they would like to have a Baptist chaplain in the brigade, as a large proportion of the men are Baptists. Cannot the Baptists of Georgia send on some earnest, working man of God to labor as chaplain or missionary among these noble men?] Monday, February 22. I went to Davis's Brigade this morning to hear a lecture from the Rev. B. T. Lacy on The Life and Christian Character of Ge

the earth. I was still standing within a few steps of where I was wounded, and yet I utterly forgot my danger, and thought of no means of preserving my life. There I stood in the midst of men, and where deadly missiles were flying thick and fast, and yet my thoughts were completely abstracted from everything around me. So fully was God's love shed abroad in my heart, and so delightful was the contemplation of the offices of the blessed Saviour, that I could think of nothing else. Rev. J. M. Stokes, chaplain in Wright's Georgia brigade, says of the religious condition of the troops: I am happy to state that the health of our troops seems to be much better than it was a few months since. It will be a source of delight to Christians and all thinking people to know that the religious element among our troops is much greater now than at any time previous since the war began.
