wide of her track; the latter go to her in all their wants and troubles, and know her by the name of Miss sally. She joined the army in one of the regiments from Alabama, about the time of the battle of Manassas, and never shrunk from the stern privations of the soldier's life from the moment of leaving camp to follow her wounded and sick Alabamians to the hospitals of Richmond. Her services are not confined, however, to the sick and wounded from Alabama. Every sick soldier has now a claim on her sympathy. Why, but yesterday, my system having succumbed to the prevailing malaria of the hospital, she came to my room, though a stranger, with my ward nurse, During the moments I was in the depository, many came to return books which they had read and to secure others. Some came for papers. One would say, I am from Alabama, and want an Alabama paper, and he would be presented with the South-west Baptist. Another would say, Can't you let me have the Christian Index? That's the paper

vidually with most of those to whom I had access. To each one at Culpeper Court House and Staunton I gave tracts or Testaments, and in some instances both. These were received with special interest. In performing this work I found it growing in magnitude, and my own heart more and more interested in it. Some of the cases were particularly touching. One man from south-western Georgia, with deep feeling, told me that out of ninety-eight composing his company twenty-four were buried in western Virginia. I pressed upon him the claims of the Gospel, and he seemed thankful and penitent. Another, far from home, seemed near the grave. The tears flowed from his languid eyes when I asked him about his spiritual condition, and with trembling lips he replied, No hope. He gazed at me wistfully, as I pointed him to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. Another, a young man, was much moved, as he told of his desertion of the Saviour, having been thrown with evil associates

nter the Christian ministry. The scene described by Rev. Mr. Crumley, as he distributed among the soldiers, after one of the Maryland campaigns, the supplies sent forward by the Georgia Relief Association, one of the noblest institutions of the war, is truthful and touching: After leaving Warrenton, I visited the wounded in private houses around the battle-field, where I very narrowly escaped being taken prisoner by the Yankees. In Winchester I found thousands of the wounded from Maryland crowded into churches, hotels, private houses and tents, in every imaginable state of suffering and destitution. Though kind words and prayers are good and cheering to the suffering, they could not relieve the terrible destitution. At length my anxious suspense was relieved by the coming of Mr. Selkirk, Dr. Camak and Rev. Mr. Potter, bringing supplies from the Georgia Relief and Hospital Association, which were in advance of anything from the Government. Their coming was clothing to the

fame. A lady, writing from the hospital at Culpeper Court House, says: I have lost four of my patients. Three of them died rejoicing in Jesus. They were intelligent, noble, godly young men. One from Virginia said to me as he was dying: Sing me a hymn. I repeated, Jesus, lover of my soul. He remarked, Where else but in Jesus can a poor sinner trust? Just as he passed away, he looked up and said, Heaven is so sweet to me; and to the presence of Jesus he went. Another from South Carolina seemed very happy, and sung with great delight, Happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away. Young B——, of Virginia, was resigned and even rejoiced at the near prospect of death. He repeated the line. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord. His end was peace. One of these young men had determined to enter the Christian ministry. The scene described by Rev.

Besides, many of the chaplains at these several points are likewise acting as our agents, and receiving their supplies from our depositories. What vast good will be effected by these men of God, if the Holy Ghost deigns to attend the message which they, almost every hour, are delivering to some soul heavy-laden with a sense of its sins and sorrows. . . A. E. D. Says an exchange: A friend in Danville told us that, out of 2,000 letters he had opened, from friends of deceased soldiers, not more than a dozen were found that did not contain religious advice. Perhaps some of the writers never gave religious advice until those to whom they wrote were in the grave. . . Charlottesville, July 25. The int

sation; many who make no pretensions to piety listen with solemn attention. A lieutenant desired to be supplied with tracts, that he might distribute them among his men. The same request had been made by others. In the hotels and saloons I have distributed tracts, as well as on the streets, to the hundreds who come in from the camps around. Oh, it is a blessed work to care for the souls of our brave boys. If I could reach the ear of every Christian in the Confederacy I would cry, Men of Israel! help! Mr. J. C. Clopton, who has been laboring at the hospitals in Staunton, and at the Rockbridge Alum Springs, writes: Oftentimes I see the soldiers reading the tracts for days after they have been received, and manifesting the most eager desire to be benefited by them. Passing along to the hospital, I saw a group of convalescents, and at once I was tempted to be ashamed of the work, and was about to pass them without giving any tracts; but it appeared to me that this might be a tem
