ormation received, has been productive of great good in restoring many wanderers to their former enjoyments and inducting about forty-five souls into the kingdom of Christ. In General Polk's brigade, Bro. Davis, of the 1st Arkansas, and Quarles, of the 45th Tennessee, have been laboring with commendable zeal and success in their respective commands, with occasional assistance from Chaplains Smith and Taylor, and as the fruit of their labors God has converted about seventy souls. In General Lidell's Arkansas brigade, which is destitute of a chaplain, a meeting was commenced five weeks since by Bro. Anderson, preacher in charge of Bedford Circuit, but who, in consequence of affliction, was forced to retire in the very incipiency of an encouraging revival. The charge of the meeting devolved on me, and with the efficient aid of Bros. Taylor, Smith. and Stevenson (the latter of whom is a supernumerary member of the Tennessee Conference), it has continued up to the present time, wi

Sehon, the meeting appointed a committee to take into consideration the spiritual wants of the army of the Confederate States, and to report a plan by which the M. E. Church, South, through the agency of its Missionary Board, might, in some measure, supply those wants. The President, Bishop Early, appointed the following ministers as the committee: Bishop Pierce, Drs. McFerrin, Summers, Sellon, Green, L. M. Lee, Myers, and Revs. R. J. Harp and W. W. Bennett. In response to the report of the committee the Mission Board adopted the following plan: Whereas information has reached this Board with regard to the destitution of ministerial service in the army of the Confederate States, and believing it to be the duty of the Church to supply as far as possible this deficiency: Therefore, 1. Resolved, That the Board of Managers of the Missionary Society of the M. E. Church, South, establish a branch of its operations in

He was personally known to thousands in the army of Tennessee, and his coming was like the visit of a father to his children. The Presbyterian Church sent forth many of her ablest ministers. Rev. Dr. Waddell, Chancellor of the University of Mississippi, was appointed Superintendent of Army Missions in the West and Southwest, and he was ably supported by such men as Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, Dr. Rutherford, Dr. E. T. Baird, Rev. J. H. Bryson, and many other earnest preachers. In the army of Northern Virginia, they had Dr. B. T. Lacy, Dr. R. E. Dabney, and others, who gave a great impetus to the revival by their unwearied and successful labors. Besides the regular missionaries, the pastors of the home churches of all the denominations visited and preached to the various camps, on all occasions, when they could spare time from their charges.

Cherry, one of the most devoted chaplains in the army, gives an account of the revival at this period in McCown's divisionne afternoon called them to arms. In a few moments the whole command was pressing to the front. While riding on, says Mr. Cherry, I met with Rev. Dr. Bunting, chaplain of the Texas Rangers, who kindly consented to preach for us. We found General Ect any of these have backslidden or have died, and are forever lost, for the want of proper counsel? God forbid. Rev. S. M. Cherry made a call from the army of Tennessee: There is much interest manifested in our corps now. The cry, Come ov the vices and temptations of the camp, found the joy of salvation restored to their souls. Under the preaching of Rev. S. M. Cherry, in McCown's division, the conversions in two regiments reached one hundred and forty. In the brigades of Gens. St

circulated old tracts bearing on these mooted subjects, but the publications of this class printed during the war avoided disputed points and taught the great cardinal doctrines and duties of religion. The great concern of the people at home for the salvation of their fellow-countrymen in the armies soon bore fruit. In the army of Tennessee there was a glorious work, which embraced hundreds and thousands in its influence. The Rev. F. S. Petway, chaplain of the 44th Tennessee regiment, Johnson's brigade, Cleburn's division, in connection with other ministers, reported a wonderful revival in that celebrated command: In the latter part of March, he says, Chaplain Taylor, of the 23d Tennessee regiment, commenced a series of meetings at Tullahoma, assisted by Rev. A. W. Smith, of the 25th, and myself, which continued for several weeks, until temporarily interrupted by military movements. These meetings have resulted in much spiritual benefit to professed Christians, whil

He can gaze upon all this heart-rending spectacle and feel nothing, nothing but the splendors of that fortune he sucks out of the last drop of his country's blood. The love of money-oh, the love of money! Well saith Scripture, It is the root of all evil. Look out, speculator! Yet a little while, and that love of money shall pierce thee through with many sorrows and drown thy soul in perdition and destruction! The venerable Bishop James 0. Andrew, of the M. E. Church, South, in an address to the ministers and members of his denomination, said: These should be days of self-denial. Who can think of making parties and feasting on rich dainties, when thousands of gallant men, away from all their loved ones, are scarcely able to get the plainest food, and are enduring it all patiently, that we may be defended in the enjoyment of home and liberty; and when thousands of the loved ones, whom they have left at home, have scarcely bre

ong the soldiers. Walking through the regiment five minutes after this time, you might have seen, in almost every cabin and street, men deeply interested, poring over this silent messenger of intelligence and truth. Many a nail was fastened in a sure place by these messengers of truth sent by multiplied thousands into all the camps. Some of the sermons preached by the leading ministers of the Churches were so memorable as never to be forgotten by those who heard or read them. The Rev. Dr. J. C. Stiles, of the Presbyterian Church, delivered a sermon on National Rectitude, which was replete with the noblest sentiments and delivered with all the force and fire of his patriotic heart. Speaking of the vices which stood in the pathway of the Confederacy to a free nationality, he seized those who fattened upon their country's grief, and held them up to the gaze of the world. Of the speculator he exclaimed: Miserable man! How could he escape the all-pervading, generous patrioti
