CHAPLAINs.-We make no apology for allu-
ding to these important officers. Every hospi-
tai chaplain ought to know the spiritual condi-
tion of every patient who has been week or
more under his care. lf we can hut impress
this idea upon those In the sacred calling, we
shall feel amply rewarded for our effort.
A case was reported to us yesterday which
illustrates our meaning. A pious mother in
New York, amid prayers and tears, sent forth
her darling boy to battle for his country. In
the second battle Of Bull Run that boy received
his death-wound. He was sent to one of our
hospitals, where he lay lingering for n long
time, with strong hopes Of recovery. But the
fond mother at last received the sad intelligence
that her boy was dying. She hastened from her
distant home to his side, only to find that the
dear boy had breathed his last. Friends ten
dered their sympathies, but, alas who can
comfort in such an hour of desolation She
visited the chaplain, anxious TO learn the spir-
itual condition of her son, and what were his
last words. But, to her bitter disappointment.
she looked in vain for this consolation The
chaplain knew nothing about him, save that he
was sick soldier under his charge. He per-
formed the service over the dead body. for
which the Christian mother felt grateful. She
took leave of him, but before doing so dis
charged duty toward the chaplain. He ex-
pressed regrets that he did not know more of
her son. She expressed her sorrow at the omis-
sion. Goodbye, SIR" said she, "and hope
this event will serve as warning. Let this sad
scene remind you of the solemn duty which be-
longs to your ofiice-that of learning the spirit
ual condition of your patients, and pointing
the way to Heaven
