Necessities of the war and the conditions of success in it, a sermon
United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865
Sermons
Amherst (Mass.)
"A sermon preached in the Village Church, before the College and the united Congregations of the town of Amherst, Mass., on the National Fast Day, Thursday, September 26, 1861."
Sermon preached by Rev. William A. Stearns, president of Amherst College.
Two weeks after the disastrous Union defeat at the first Bull Run (July 21, 1861), Congress requested, and Lincoln proclaimed, a national Fast Day, "a day of public prayer, humiliation, and fasting, to be observed by the people of the United States with religious solemnities, and the offering of fervent supplications to Almighty God for the safety and welfare of these States, his blessings on their arms, and a speedy restoration of peace."
This sermon was the big event in Amherst to commemorate the national fast day.

The Christian Soldier, a sermon by Charles Wadsworth
United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865
Sermons
This sermon was preached at the beginning of the Civil War by Charles Wadsworth, a minister proclaimed by Emily Dickinson to be "My Shepherd from 'Little Girl'hood'." Dickinson had heard him preach at the Arch Street Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia during a trip to Washington to visit her father, who was a congressman at the time. She and Lavinia (her sister) stayed for two weeks with the Coleman family (cousins) who attended the Arch Street Church where Wadsworth was minister. The Colemans mailed copies of his sermons to Dickinson in the years following.
