| | E. M. Bounds' Power of Prayer |
 | | Edward McKendree Bounds was born in Shelby County, Missouri, August 15, 1835, and died August 24, 1913, in Washington, Georgia. |
 | | It was while he served as a pastor of Brunswick, Missouri, that war was declared, and the young minister was made a prisoner of war because he would not take an oath of allegiance to the federal government. |
 | | Finally securing his release, he traveled on foot nearly one hundred miles to join General Pierce's command in Mississippi and was soon after made chaplain of the Fifth Missouri Regiment, a position he held until near the close of the war, when he was captured and held as a prisoner at Nashville, Tennessee. |
