that will tend ones mind in the right direction, but I am determined by Gods help that I will not give way to these temptations & that I will be a better boy- at least I will not retrograde while I am in camp. We have a Prayer meeting in our Barracks Wednesday evening's & outside Prayer Meetings are held often by young men from Peoria. Tracts & Papers are brought around & distributed to the Boys occasionally. The companies are all formed & Boys are all required to attend service on the Sabbath. Yesterday afternoon there was a Review of the Regts. in camp here (now 5). 5 Regiments on Parade makes a big show, but it's nothing I suppose to 100 or 500. One of the Regts was all armed & equipped- all were in full uniform. Two of the Regts. are now under Marching Orders & expect to leave soon
