a plea for the South Carolina Soldiers

Plea for the South Carolina soldiers.
Thousands of rs brave hearts Us ever re-
sisted cruel tyrant or painted for liberty,
are upon the soil Of Virginia. or ready to
move there, prepared TO do battle, and to die,
fnccdbc, in dcitmccoi our rhomcs and lircsidcs,
These are our own brothers, fathers, and sons.
They have freely exchanged the quiet and
happy home, with all Of its comforts, for tho
priratcns OF the camp. with all ofits battle
fields and its blood. They arc exposed to
temptations to evlwhicl arep peculiarly strong.
Scarcely any school Of vice can be found
equal 10 that incident to the camp.
The Baptist Colportage Board of South
Carolina has determined to counteract these
evil influence, by putting into the hands Of
each soldier "the Word ofGod." The Bible.
together with tracts and volumes Of kindred
influences, will, it is believed, be as wall
round about to protect them. In pursuance
of this plan, 1 have been directed to appea!
for aid to all such in South Carolina as feel
an interest in the spiritual welfare Of our
soldiers. Companies have heen found in
which tlrec.lourths arc without copy Of the
New Testament, while in almost every com-
pany members are found who have either
neglected. 70 carry with thcm, o;haye lost,
thi; invaluable book iT#cll Of their time
the soldiers have nothing to do. .!inr, hangs
heavily. lIow easily may sinful habits be
prevented by suitable reading being given to
tLean. They are calling on us for something
to read. IN many instances they have begged
for the New Testament and tracts, but were
unable to obtain them, for The supply obtained
from the North is exhausted We can no
longer bry them from that quarter. We
must print them ourselves. The New Testa-
mcnt will very soon be issued in the South,
anl Numbers Of tracts suited to the soldiers
arc being printed, and will continue TO be.
Ne have pous and devotc coporlcurs ar-
pointed to this most inviting field, and num-
bcrs Of others anxious ROW to carry 10 the
soldier the Word Of life. Had we the re-
quisitc funds, We could supply every soldier
irY,a South Carolina With these means sTfch
would teach him how 10 become soidcr uf
