Religious Reading for the soldiers.
--The Baptist Colportage Board has on hand a large assortment of Tracts, a portion of which have been written especially for the soldiers of the Confederate army.
They have been pronounced by the religious press of the
South to be excellent.
We would especially call attention to the following:--‘"A
Mother's Parcing Words to her
Soldier Boy;" ’ ‘"Soldier's Great Want;"’ ‘"I am a Soldier;"’ ‘ "Volunteers Wapted;"’ ‘"Bathel."’ Besides the above, and many others designed for the soldier, we have a large supply of the best Tracts ever issued by the American Tract Society such as ‘"Come to Jesus,"’ ‘"What it is to believe in
Christ,"’ &c. These have been reprinted in the
South.
We would also call attention to our ‘"Hymns for the Camp."’ a little volume of rich, spiritual, old fashioned song.
Within a few days we have sold hundreds of copies, and are receiving orders from various parts of the
South.
Resides the above we shall soon have a supply of larger publications — such as ‘ "Persuasive to Farly Picky,"’ ‘"Call to the Unconverted to Turn and Live, "’ ‘"Young Men from Home,"’ &c.
It is no light matter to carry on such a work, and therefore we appeal to all who feel interested in the moral improvement of our soldiers to aid us. This can be done by making donations and by purchasing the Tracts.
Mr. George J. Sumner (Iron-front Building, Governor street) is our Treasurer.
He has a large supply of the above named Tracts, and will take great pleasure in furnishing any who may call at his store.
