I do not think I ever saw a more attentive audience. They seemed to drink in the word of life at every breath. Some time since, says Rev. A. E. Dickinson, it was my pleasure to stand up in the presence of a large company of convalescent soldiers in one of our hospitals to proclaim salvation. During the reading of a portion of Scripture tears began to flow. I then announced that dear old h

Gordonsville now affords a fine field for doing good. Besides the hospitals, the encampments in this vicinity contain many who have both the time and the desire to attend religious services. I am informed that within a few weeks over thirty soldiers here have made a profession of religion. Rev. D. B. Ewing, of the Presbyterian Church, is the post chaplain.

ooner than I expected, for when I heard from him again he had fallen asleep in Jesus; earth bore another grave, but heaven had won a sweeter strain of praise to Him who doeth all things well. Oh, blessed Jesus! Oh, thou divine Redeemer! when we see our friends treading the verge of Jordan, free from fear because Thou art with them, we would raise our hearts and our voices in adoration, and praise, and thankfulness to Thee, Who captive leads captivity And takes the sting from death. Tyree Glenn. Rev. C. F. Fry writes, from Staunton, Virginia: While I was preaching at the hospital a young man, confined to his bed, wept most bitterly. After the service was over he said to me, I have been thinking a great deal about my condition, but never, until now, could get the consent of my mind to trust the Saviour. God being my helper, I shall never cease looking unto Jesus for life, joy, and peace. Brother Editors: I should have written of our hospitals before this, but hav

We have two efficient colporters in Lynchburg, Elders G. C. Trevillian and C. A. Miles. The latter was severely wounded at the battle of Seven Pines. One of these brethren is in the library-room certain hours of each day, lending out books, etc., to those who come for them.

Every word in reference to spiritual truth fell with a soft, subduing fervor on their chastened hearts. Rev. J. T. Carpenter, post chaplain at Castle Thunder, Richmond, in a letter to the Army and Navy Messenger, reports 131 professions of conversion among our soldiers in confinement there. Charlottesville, Virginia. Brother Clopton seemed very much interested for Imboden's men, and if he received your approval has, perhaps, started in that direction. There is much interest in the hospitals here. My last visit was one of the most delightful hours of my life. It is such a precious privilege to point the deeply anxious soldiers, languishing in the hospitals, to the blessed Jesus——even in the imperfect way that I can do it. I did not find a man who did not seem very grateful for the privilege of conversing on the subject of personal religion. How brightly

The subject of the sermon was Peace in Christ, and a most timely and instructive discourse it was. I do not think that I ever saw a more attentive audience. They seemed to drink in the word of life at every breath. A series a meetings held in the First Baptist Church, Petersburg, during the absence of the pastor, Rev. T. G. Keen, D. D., by Elders W. M. Young and T. Hume, Jr., has resulted in the conversion of four of the citizens and from twelve to fifteen of the soldiers in the hospitals of that city.

I bade him good-bye, and promised to call soon and see him again, but death came sooner than I expected, for when I heard from him again he had fallen asleep in Jesus; earth bore another grave, but heaven had won a sweeter strain of praise to Him who doeth all things well.
