Bro. Byrd Day, a pioneer in this part of the State, relates the
following interesting story: “As I could read in the days of slavery,
and as the people on the place wanted to know the sayings of God, as
they called the Bible, they bought me a Bible and got me to read for
them. We slaves were allowed night farms in those days. An acre or
so of land was given to each person wanting to work at night. Well,
in order that I might study the Bible, the other slaves on the place
worked my patch for me. So I studied the book and read it to them.”
The writer once spent a month in Eufaula giving Bible instruction to
ministers, and was paid by the “Ministers’ Association.”
