	“Miss Sarah say, ‚ Come g~t your rations early Saturday morning, clean up your house ‚ w~ah and iron, and we ‚ U go to preaching tcmorrow~ Sunday. I want you to all come out clean Monday morning. ‚ They go ask Mara ;rohn Sanders if~ they could go to preaching. I recken from what they said they walked. Mars JoIm, when they git their best clothes on, make them turn round and go to the field and work all day long. He was just that tnearL. Work all day long sunday.

	“~&iss Sarah was a Primitive Baptist and that is what I ~ till this day. ~oxne folks call us Hardehell Baptist. The colored tolks set in the back of the church. The women all set on one side and the men on the other. If they had a middle row, there was a railing dividing mena‘ seats froni the woinens‘ seats on the very same benches.

	“Misa Clos, Miss Cornelia, and Miss Sarah cook tip a whole lot oi~ good things to eat and go to camp meeting. Sometimes they woifid stay a week and longer. They would take time bout letting the colored folks go long. ~è had big times, My grandpa took a gingercake cutter with him and sold gin~ercakes when they ccme out of the church. He could keep that money his own. I don‘t know how he sold them. My sister has the cutter now I expect.

My girl has seen it. It was a foot long, this wide (5 inches), and fluted all around the edges, and had a handle like a biscuit cutter. They was about an inch thick, He made good ones and he sold all he could ever make. Grandpa took carpet sacks to carry his gingercakes in to sell them. I

rei~iember that mighty well. ( The shape of the cutter was like this : f~~~‘ß.)

He purt nigh always got to go to ~ll the camp meetings. Folks got happy and shouted in them days. It woifl.d be when somebody got religion. At some big meetings they didn‘t shout.
