With only occasional excep tions, the word ti God has been royularly preached' in all the Brigade. As the sum total of toe reault it has been esti mated that move than Jive thousand pon'3 have betn converted to God, many back sliders re-chimed, and God's children com forted and buiit up in their most holy taith.
