June 1895, The Wachovia Moravian Newspaper: On three Sunday evenings in May the Friedberg pastor conducted religious worship for the
Forsyth convict force in their camp, near the Lashmit bridge in Southfork township. When it became known that these services were to be held
large numbers of visitors came to be present and participate in the exercises. On the arrival of the minister the prisoners were released from their
chains, and marched out by the guards to the spot arranged for the meeting. After they were seated, some on wheelbarrows, some of them on
empty powder cans, but most of them on the ground, the visitors gathered in the circle, and the guards were stationed on the outside of the entire
assembly. It was quite a peculiar experience for the preacher, but the presence of God was there and he felt it in a marked degree. The singing
was done wholly by the prisoners, who made their own selections and were led by their own choir. The singing was very touching, and beautifully
intoned after the manner of the colored people. One song in particular, "Oh, prodigal, come," brought tears to the eyes of many of the visitors.
The minister read a scripture lesson, offered a prayer, and preached a short sermon from a text. Then after a song, there was a brief talk on
incidents taken from the life and sufferings of Jesus, and illustrated by means of large colored pictures, belonging to the Friedberg Sunday School.
