More Praying and Less Swearing!
On accompanying Mrs. Pomeroy, military nurse, to her hospital, the President discovered that the authorities of the house had forbidden praying to the patients, or even reading the Bible to them, as it was denominational. He promptly removed the restriction, and furthered the visiting missionaries in holding prayer-meetings, read the Scriptures to “his boys in blue,” and pray with them as much as they pleased.
“If there was more praying,” he said, “and less swearing, it would be far better for our country.”
