Our army on the Rapidan is in line of battle. Grant is
moving his mighty columns. Where the battle will take place Heaven only knows.
I pray that God may be with us, and that the enemy may be driven far from our
borders.
We are now attending the prayer-meetings held by the Young
Men's Christian Association, which are very interesting; three of them will be
held this week for our dear army, and for the battle now pending.
