Wedded to War Quotes

“Do you believe in God, Mr. Olmsted?” asked Charlotte. He looked up, confused. “Are we changing the subject here?” “I believe He is sovereign, even in war. If he means us to be safe, we will be safe here, on the peninsula, or in our homes. If our days are to end, then they will end, no matter where we happen to be. He is ultimately in control of our well-being. Not the government, not the Sanitary Commission, not you. So please. Let us come, and leave our safekeeping in God’s hands. We have work to do.”
