Under the Favor of Divine Providence, We Hope

I have often thought that if you fully understood what a person believed in respect to religion from their perspective, you would have more understanding about that person's personality and interior life than any one other thing would be able to tell you.There you find their raison d'etre, their spiritual justification for being. It is here that you will find the insight to the inner life and motivations of the Southron of the 1860's. It is hoped that this collection of sermons will inspire the Southron of today not to give up The Cause as lost. It is further hoped that the spiritual motivations of those who went before will be taken as our own, that we may continue plowing in that field of honor where our ancestors and honored dead plowed before us and not give up the yoke until our field bears the fruit of liberty and freedom, of faith and spiritual life and our beloved Dixie is a free nation at last.--From the introduction.
