O how wonderful it would be if we had leaders who would acknowledge the authority of the Lord. Here is a small quote from 'Stonewall' Jackson after his troops had been victorious after the battle at McDowell's Station in Virginia. This quote is taken from Life and Letters of Stonewall Jackson written by Mary Anna Jackson. Jackson writes:
"Soldiers of the Army of the Valley and Northwest:
I congratulate you on your recent victory at McDowell. I request you to unite with me this morning in thanksgiving to Almighty God for thus having crowned your arms with success, and in praying that He will continue to lead you on from victory to victory, until our independence shall be established, and make us that people whose God is the Lord. The chaplains will hold divine service at ten o'clock A.M. this day in their respective regiments."
