As published in "Leaves of Gold," 1963 printing (edited by Clyde Francis Lytle), p. 154:
"FAITH -- During the Civil War fourteen inmates of Andersonville Prison, on August 20, 1864, bowed in prayer to the Almighty that he would send them water; and a spring broke out on the outside of the wall and ran through the prison. The people there were unanimous in their belief that it was of divine origin, the water in the nearby stream being fearfully unwholesome. The spring is reported to be still flowing. -- 'Christian Endeavor World'."
