Although the title would suggest mostly religious content, there is also much reporting on the on-going Civil War.
The front page has: "Great Battle At Winchester, Va." "A Visit to the Monitor" "Kentucky--The 'Reign of Terror Over' " "Nashville" "Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln" which includes in part: "...Mrs. Lincoln has been so ill for some time past as to confine her to her room...Since the loss of Willie Lincoln both the President and his lady have been sorely afflicted in mind and body...".
Much more war reporting including on inside pages.
Eight pages, nice condition.
