Grav.s, of Tin., has written an able and unanswerable letter addresod "to the Baptiste of the Sonthern Confed eracy," urging upon them and all Southern Christians the propriety of placing in the hands of each and every one of our soldiers a copy of the Holy Bible or Test.ant. We append a few extracts from the letter and be speak for them a careful reaing : " As citizens and patriots the world gives us the credit of doing our part well. The temporal wants of no army were ever better supplied. "But are we discharging our duty as Chris tians to our soldiers? Does it not devolve upon us to do all in our power to provide fur their moral and religous wants ? We have heard of. vet few of us realio the nuimher less evil and pernicious influences of camp life. Without the strongest counter-acting influences that Ifeaven vouchsafes, no young man can withstand them. Said a member of my Church, after an experience in Camp-life: '' I have heard, but never before did I con ceive of the demoralizing influences of Camp life. I am sati-ied that the Oinnipotence of God alone can save moe, can sue any Chris tian from being swept away into the evil courses of sinners." Realizing the dangers to which the youth are exposed in timo of peace when surrounded by religious associa tions, we provide for them religious readieg, Sabbath School, and Bible class instructioni, and labor anxiously to erect moral break-wa ters between them and the strong, the almost resistless tides and turreuts of evil influences. What then ought we to do to shield them when r -.."- - withdrr ing intl caes of in cam colsta! vicious nust ir to war. "If nothing else, the word of God shonau be placed in the hands of each soldier. This can and this should be done. We desire and we pr:ay for the salvation, temporal and eter nal, of the soldier. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. Read or preached, it is the appuintedl instrument with which Ha kills and makes :alive. When we have placed the Word of life and salvation in the soldier's h _aml, we can conisistently pray that the IUessed Spirit may use it to his .lition. Many, many a soldier far from friends and home has been led to Jesus from reading is Word inl camp, and hundreds umore wiay. and dobiles will be ere this war ie closed. No one of us can easily conceive of the p'iwer to rstirain romn vice, the~ frequen~it sigh/ amid fuck eveni of the. Bible. though unroml.
