IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER The Mississippian.
says: "a very deep impression was made upon
our mind in regard to the importance OF prayer by
friend who remarked, while speskiug Of the
cheering prospects which now lie before the army
of Tenu., that f We who blessed with the priv
ilege of remaining at home, would ouly do our du-
ty by praying fervently and devouty to Almighty
God for aid in this awful struggle, our brave SOL
dicrs in the field would do the fighting, victory
would perch upon their banoers, and the star Of
peace and independence with all its radiant powers
would rise upon our now distracted and ruined
country. We believe that could our citizens be-
come thoroughly alive to the importance Of this
great subject, that the terrible and bloody strife
now raging would terminate in less than thirty
days; for we have the promise of Jehovah, record
ed in the Holy Writ, that if We would call On
Hin in time of trouble He would deliver us. No
instance in either ancient or modern times can be
cited where lie has turned deaf ear 10 the plead
ings Of single individual or an entire nation.
1t is the duty, thou, of Us to pray increasingly
for the speedy termination Of the bloody drama
now being enacted on this continent
