Self-Denying Offerings of Women
Exodus 35:29
The children of Israel brought a willing offering to the LORD, every man and woman…


General Longstreet, speaking of the struggle at Centreville, says: "The Federals had been using balloons in examining our positions, and we watched with envious eyes their beautiful observations, as they floated high up in the air, and well out of the range of our guns. We longed for the balloon that poverty denied us. A genius arose for the occasion and suggested that we send out and gather together all the silk dresses in the Confederacy and make a balloon. It was done, and soon we had a great patchwork ship of many and varied hues."

(H. O. Mackey.)
