Revival of Religion among the Soldiers at Camp Winder. – For nearly two weeks a protracted meeting has been in progress in one of the regiments stationed at Camp Winder, in connection with which twenty soldiers have professed conversion, while many others have asked an interest in the prayers of their pious comrades. The efforts which are now being made to bring religious influence to bear upon our men in camp are worthy of all praise. There are now some six pious and devoted colporteurs laboring in the hospitals and camps in and around the city.
