 The Army of tbc Southern Confederacy is the most important field for religious labor in the wide 
 world. If this Laud of ours, placing itself under the pi'otection of Messiah, the exalted Head of all 
 power, the Governor amongst the nations, shall reader unto Him the honor which is His due, and 
 prove steadfast in its allegiance to Him, then what mind can conceive, or language depict, the splendor 
 of its destiny— the stately march of its sublime career, as it rises to unquestioned pre-eminence, and 
 wears its crown of glory, and wields its sceptre of influence amongst the Powers of Earth ! 
 But, the choicest portum of tlie country, ihe jloiuer ofUie South, ivhich will of necessity^'ijive charcNer to 
 the Confederacy, and control it for years to come, is found in the Army. Hence, the importance of 
 consecrating to CHRIST this mighty influence. And hence the importance of sustaining au 
 enterprise, which seeks to accomplisli this great end. 
 
 About Fifty Millions of Pages of Tracts, and thousands of Gospels and Hymn Books have been 
 distributed from this Depository, gratuitously amongst the Soldiers of every Army of the Confederacy 
 The seed has not been sown in vain. Numerous letters from Chaplains, Officers and Privates, 
 testify to the great good which has been accomplished, and shew that the literature thus dis- 
 seminated, has been, to a considerable extent, instrumental in producing and sustaining the won- 
 derful Revival with which God has blessed Our Armies, and which, in the past year, has addod 
 more than twelve thousand Soldiers to the churches. 
 
 Generals Lee, Jackson, Kirby Smith, and other Army Officers ; Captains Lee, Pegram. and 
 others of the Navy ; and many eminent Statesmen • of the Confederacy ; have giVen their vol- 
 untary testimony to the valuable service rendered to the country by this in.?u-umentality. 
 
 The expenditure of means involved is very great, and douatiou.s for tho^ support ol this 
 enterprise are respectfully solicited from all, everywhere, who have at licart the religious wel- 
 fare of our Soldiers, and the advancement of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
