One young man came to me, late at night, to inquire the way of salvation. While passing the road I heard singing and prayer. It was a company of Christians, who had met in the darkness to hold a secret meeting. We received eight members on Sabbath evening into our Christian Association. Thus the work goes on. The moral tone of our brigade is rapidly changing. Card-playing is fast playing out, swearing is not heard so much as formerly, and attendance on preaching increases. May God bless the army. On the main line of defence on the Rappahannock, General Lee lay with the main body of his army watching the movements of the vast array of Federals marshalled on the opposite side of that river, under command of General Hooker.

Chapter 19: summer of 1863. After the great victory of Chancellorsville, the Confederate army lay along the south side of the Rappahannock, watching the movements of the Federals, who held the opposite side of that river. But few military movements of importance were undertaken for some weeks, and this period of repose and re-organization was well-improved by the zealous Christian workers in the army.
