The Great Revival In The Southern Armies 1877

A young man said to me, 'Parson, you gave me a book, (Baxter's Call,) which I have been reading, and it has made me feel very unhappy. I feel that my condition is awful, and I desire to find peace.' I pointed him to the Lord Jesus. While passing through a hospital with my tracts one poor, afflicted soldier wept piteously and said, 'Sir, I cannot read; will you be good enough to read some of those tracts to me?' I read several, and among them, 'A Mother's Parting Words to her Soldier Boy.' 'Oh,' said he, 'that reminds me so much of my poor old mother, who has faded from earth since I joined the army.' He wept and seemed greatly affected."
