A reminiscence of an official interview with General R. E. Lee. By J. Wm. Jones. In a lot of old war newspapers sent the other day to the office of the Society, I found an order which recalled one of the most pleasant interviews I ever had with our grand old chief--General Lee--and which I have long searched for in vain, as I desired to preserve it.

I have a very vivid recollection of the interest he manifested in what we told him of the great revival which was making well nigh every camp vocal with the praises of God, and of the emphatic expressions of delight to which he gave utterance.

And I can only say that I am a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation, and needing all of the prayers they can offer for me. At our invitation he afterwards attended several meetings of our Chaplains' Association, and manifested the liveliest interest in the proceedings.
