The narrator recalls a turning point in a Confederate prison, where a long afternoon prayer and nightly worship sparked renewed resolve. Religious exercises brought consolation, mental steadiness, and a vow to serve God whether in captivity or after release, amid ongoing trials and the plan for a daylight breakout.
