Reading lines from a file into an array

I'm working on a few warm-up exercises out a book. The first part of the exercise is to read the lines from a file placing each line into an array. I thought my code looked correct however nothing but garbage prints out. Here's my code. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I would really appreciate the help so I can move on the 2nd part of exercise.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

const size_t ARRAY_SIZE = 50;

///read the lines from a file placing each line in an array element
void readLines(ifstream& msgFile, string line[], int arraySize);

void readLines(ifstream& msgFile, string line[], int arraySize)
{
  size_t i = 0;
  while(msgFile && i < arraySize)
    getline(msgFile, line[i]);
    cout << line << endl;
    i++;
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{

  if (argc != 4)
    {

         cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " msgFILE replaceFile outputFile" << endl;
      return -1;
    }

  
  ifstream msgTxt(argv[1]);
  ifstream replaceTxt (argv[2]);
  ofstream outputTxt (argv[3]);


  string line[ARRAY_SIZE];                  //creates an array of strings
  readLines(msgTxt, line, ARRAY_SIZE);

  return 0;
}

Take a closer look at line 18.
