Excerpt from Incidents of the United States Christian Commission This volume has its origin in the peculiarity of the war in the United States against rebellion - not of the forces arrayed against each other, or of movements executed, or of victories wrought; but of the forces of Christianity developed and exemplified amid the carnage of battle and the more perilous tests of hospital and camp. These religious forces were not begotten of the Christian Commission; they came with the army from the Christian homes of its citizen soldiery. The Commission was, rather, born of them. Certainly it began because of their existence and need of help, and became, at once, their helper and recorder.
