outly knelt during prayer, and his attitude during the entire service was that of an interested listener or a reverential participant. He was not accustomed to indulge in carping criticisms of sermons, but was a most intelligent judge of what a sermon ought to be, and always expressed his preference for those sermons which presented most simply and earnestly the soulsaving truths of the Gospel. I heard him remark in reference to the Baccalaureate sermon preached at the college by Rev. Dr. J. A. Broadus: It was a noble sermon—one of the very best I ever heard—and the beauty of it was that the preacher gave our young men the very marrow of the Gospel, and with a simple earnestness that must have reached their hearts and done them good. Upon another occasion a distinguished minister had addressed the Young Men's Christian Association of the college, and on the next night delivered a popular lecture. Speaking of the last, General Lee said: It was a very fine lecture and I enjoyed

easantness, and all her paths are peace, than his life furnishes. He was habitually cheerful and happy. Seeking to enjoy everything in God, he enjoyed God in everything, and thus even the vicissitudes of life ministered to his comfort. His life was beautiful, and his death safe, honorable and useful. It is no exaggeration to say that volumes could be filled with sketches of other officers and men, worthy to take their places beside those given above; but these must suffice. Rev. Dr. J. A. Broadus, while preaching in the army, thus wrote, in the Religious Herald, on the Influence of Officers: I recently became acquainted, in the Army of Northern Virginia, with Brigadier-General——, from one of the Gulf States, who is a Baptist, and a very interesting man. He is said to be an admirable officer, having taken charge of a brigade which had been in very bad condition, and made it one of the finest in the army, and having gained, by his skilful and gallant leadership in the fiel

Curry— God's Providence, a Source of Comfort and Courage to Christians, by Rev. A. M. Poindexter, D. D.— For the Confederate army, by Hon. M. J. Wellborn.— David, by Professor Geo. E. Dabney—and We pray for you at home, by Rev. John A. Broadus, D. D. Besides these, the board has issued, in conjunction with the Georgia Bible and Colportage Society, editions of the following excellent new tracts: Woman's words to the soldiers, by Mrs. L. N. Boykin— To arms! To arms! by Rev. C. D. Mallory— The mourner, by Mrs. M. M. McCrimmon—and A proclamation of peace, by Rev. J. L. Dagg, D. D.

ss! Yours truly, W. F. Broaddus. I might multiply at great length incidents illustrating the great value of this colportage work, but I must now content myself with adding only the following: A father sent to his son in the army the tract, Are you Ready? and was soon after rejoiced by the reply: Yes, sir! I can now say that I am ready. The tract you sent awakened me. I have gone to Jesus for salvation, and am prepared now for whatever may await me. A mother sent her son Dr. J. A. Broadus's tract—We are Praying for You at Home—and added the simple words: Yes! we are praying for you, Charley, that you may become a Christian. That boy saw no peace until he found Christ and experienced sweet peace in believing. A soldier once asked me for a copy of the tract, You Must Labor for Salvation, saying that it had been blessed to his own conversion—that he had given it to a comrade, and he, too, had been converted— and that he now wanted to distribute all of the copies he cou

Broadus to preach four times, at different points; and while all of the services and captains mingled freely with those of the rank and file. I never heard Dr. Broadus preach with more power, and I do not believe that he ever did. In an appehe army, published in the Religious Herald about the 1st of September, 1863, Dr. Broadus thus writes: It is impossible to convey any just idea of the wide and effect

t everybody to serve the Lord. I have quoted a letter from Captain Abram Poindexter (son of Rev. Dr. A. M. Poindexter, of Virginia) showing his deep interest in the salvation of his comrades, and his readiness to work for that end. Rev. Dr. J. A. Broadus, in a memorial address on Dr. Poindexter, thus described the heroic death of this young soldier, and the influence he exerted on his men: The older son, Abran Wimbish Poindexter, at the age of twenty-one, volunteered before his brotherhese returned soldiers and themselves, or the newly emancipated negroes. Then followed the carpet-bag and negro rule of the Southern States, which is a blot upon our history, at which every true American should blush, and concerning which Dr. John A. Broadus so well said at an educational banquet in Brooklyn four years after the war: You brethren at the North think that you have a great deal for which to forgive the South for the four years of war. I will not discuss that. But I tell you, bre

ly and solemnly observed. Brother Lacy had preached, Friday morning, at General Ewell's Headquarters, and in the afternoon, in Mahone's Brigade, to large and peculiarly attentive congregations. He thought God's work in the army still progressing. Brother Jones reported that in Smith's Brigade religious interest was increasing. Since last meeting, between forty and fifty had been hopefully converted. His daily meetings were large, and he had frequently enjoyed the ministrations of Dr. Broadus. In Hayes's Brigade, particularly in the Ninth Louisiana Regiment, he reported that congregations were large and many interested about the salvation of their souls. Christians seemed alive, and had interested themselves to obtain a chaplain. Brother Talley stated that in Rodes's Brigade there was a gracious state of things. He had been laboring as chaplain only about two weeks, and had been most warmly received by officers and men. Fast-day had been unusually interesting, having b
