These Dear Souls Came Not To Sabbath School Because It Was Popular To Do So, Nor Did I Teach Them Because It Was Reputable To Be Thus Engaged. Every Moment They Spent In That School, They Were Liable To Be Taken Up, And Given Thirty-nine Lashes. They Came Because They Wished To Learn. Their Minds Had Been Starved By Their Cruel Masters. They Had Been Shut Up In Mental Darkness. I Taught Them, Because It Was The Delight Of My Soul To Be Doing Something That Looked Like The Bettering The Condition Of My Race
