Soldiers, called by this Committee, or by the Association in its behalf, to all of which the pastors and members of the churches responded in the most hearty manner, displaying 'a real interest in the soldier, and a true faith in God.
IV. Another service rendered was the publication of The Soldier's Hymn Book, and its large circulation, together with the issues of other organizations. Our book was issued, 16th June, 1861, and to those curious in such matters let me say, that it was mainly Compiled by Rev. J. II. Burtis, the prefatory note written by Mr. Vernon, and the address of the Committee, on the last page of the cover, by Mr. Ballard. This was the first and best publication of its kind for use in the army. Indeed, so far as I have been able to learn, nothing of this character of importance had then been issued from any quarter. A compilation from the Book of Common Prayer.
