n humble supplication to Him who has been our constant and never failing support in the past and to whose protection and guidance we trust for the future. To this and I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America do issue this my proclamation, setting apart Friday, the 27th day of March, as a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer, and I do invite the people of the said States to repair on that day to their usual places of public worship, and to join in prayer to Almighty God that he will continue His merciful protection over our cause, that He, will scatter our enemies, and set at naught their evil designs, and that He will graciously restore to our beloved country the blessings of peace and security. In faith whereof I have hereunto set my hand of the city of Richmond on the twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three. Jefferson Davis. By the President, J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State.
