"The best soap you'll ever use" at the handmade Soapcake tent. The schuduled church service on Sunday was postponed by an impending battle. The Union and Confederate soldiers were called to fall into formation. Soon, the 3rd Missouri Vol. Inf. had set up their artilery. Canon thundered, horses reared up, and smoke from volley after volley filled the air. Wounded were cared for at an ER set up by the Field Surgeon of 16th Medical Corps. After the battle, a truce, as the Union and Confederate Christians came together for worship. Chaplain Michael S. Garbus, of Smithville, MO, led the service. One of the "Hymns for the Camp" follows: Another day of soldier life Is numbered with the past; It was not filled with bloody strife, And did not prove our last. Thy grace, O God, hath kept us whole; To thee we lift our praise; Accept the homage of each soul, And keep us all our days. Keep us in safety through the night, And with us those we love; Save us, we pray thee by thy might, In battle and above.
