larly fond of the large ones, as they contained more reading matter. Many were affected by the work entitled 'A mother's parting words to her soldier boy,' having left behind them pious mothers. Many said that they had nothing to read for months. Numbers were destitute of Testaments — some never having had any, while others had lost theirs in hasty retreats' Rev. J. M. B. Roach, Chaplain 10th regiment Alabama volunteers, writes: "You may be assured that our soldiers read with deep interest your tracts. I have seen much of their good effects among my regiment. Just before entering the battle at Williamsburg a Lieutenant asked for a copy of each of my tracts; he folded them up, about a dozen, and placed them in his side pocket. During the fight a ball pierced the tracts and lodged against the tract nearest his body. He attributes the saving of his life to the obstruction afforded by the tracts, and is now apparently much interested in religious matters." A. E. Dickinson.
