services now to one who attended six months ago. I speak principally with reference to our own regiment, but I have been informed by those who have travelled among the different parts of the army in Virginia that such is the case everywhere. This was the case not only in the army in Virginia, but in almost every other department of the South. Rev. B. H. Perry, writing from Columbus, Miss., of the state of religion in the 37th Alabama regiment, under the command of a sincere Christian, Col. Dowdell, says: We set out religiously, by having preaching twice on Sabbath and prayer-meeting twice a week. A good influence prevails, and a high moral tone has characterized our men from the first. The sentiment seems to be rife among us that instead of retrograding, Christians ought to progress decidedly in camp. This is a just opinion, for the frequent and unusual temptations which they meet, the absence of those restraints and associations that ordinarily sustain them, the position

Chapter 10: summer of 1862. The moral impressions of the sanguinary battles around Richmond were of the most salutary character. A wounded soldier, referring to them, said: God preached to us as all the preachers on earth could not do. All felt that the hand of God was manifest in these tremendous struggles. A pious officer wrote immediately after the close of the battles: Never before have I seen so clearly and powerfully intervened in our behalf the right arm of the Lord of hosts. The names of Lee, Hill, Jackson, Magruder, and others, have been rendered immortal by their gallantry and skill so strikingly evinced in this series of engagements; but while their names are in our hearts and their praises upon our tongues, let there go up from the Southern Confederacy a warm and a universal shout of Glory to God in the highest; for had not God been with us, we must have been almost annihilated.

or did I, as many men seem to do, lose sight of my personal danger. My mood was so calm that my calculations were perfectly rational. I felt that the Lord's hand was with me, that his shield was over me, and that whatever befell me would be by his agency or permission, and therefore it would all be well with me. It was a period of positive religious enjoyment, and yet of the most vigorous discharge of my duties as a soldier. Again, at the battle of Gaines' Mill, or Cold Harbor, on Friday, June 27th, the most furious of the whole series, and in which one-third of our regiment was reported as killed and wounded, I was visited with the same peace of mind and the same resolute composure. The two battles leave me with nine perforations in my clothing, made by at least six balls, a slight contusion from a piece of bomb, and a severe wound in my left thigh, a large ball passing clear through, ranging between the bone and femoral artery. Upon perceiving it, I looked down and discovered
