SERVICE FOR THE RECRUITS AT CAMP CASS,ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, VIRGINIA, 1861 Attentive and solemn are the faces of these men new to warfare, facing dangers as yet unknown, while theylisten to Father Scullys earnest words. Not a few of the regiments in the Union armies were led by minis-ters who assisted in organizing them, and then accepted the command. When the Fiftieth New YorkEngineers were stationed in front of Petersburg, Virginia, they made a rustic place of worship, spire and all,after the model of their winter-quarters. A photograph of this soldier-built edifice is shown on page 257.The muskets and glistening bayonets of the soldiers, leaning against the fence in the foreground of thePetersburg picture, contrast vividly with the peaceful aspect of the little church—an oasis in a desert.
