'It would have been one of the darkest chapters in American History had we been obliged to open our batteries on that torn and dis tracted country. And yet we felt that the flag had been insulted and great wrong committed, and had it been necessary to resort to arms, and our help was needed, is there one of us who would not have aid ed in vindicating the honor of our coun- try?" The reference was made to empha- size the fact that Christians should stand by their religion when there was danger of it's being trampled under foot by it's ene- mics.
