Prayer for Wargamers

Submitted by Bruce Milligan

From "Count Rumford of Massachusetts", by James Alden Thompson. "Before one of the battles of the Revolution a Divine by the name of Israel Evans burst forth with a prayer which surely is one of the queerest religious exhortations on record. "'0, Lord of Hosts,' he implored,'Lead forth thy servants of the American Army to battle, and give them the victory. Or, is this be not according to thy Sovereign Will, then we pray thee, stand neutral, and let flesh and blood decide the issue."'
