In 1898, Brother Liff Sanders, who had attended Nashville Bible School
(now Lipscomb University) , moved with his wife Lucy and baby to Lockney. In October, 1898, he went to Lubbock to visit relatives. He was asked to preach for them. So once a month, Brother Sanders made the forfy-five mile trip from Lockney to Lubbock over open country by horse and buggy. One night while returning to Lockney, he got lost. He unhitched the horse and went to sleep in the buggy without blanket, food, water, or feed for the horse. The next morning the horse was no where in sight. Fortunately, it did not take long to find the horse, but he never again left home without bedding, water, food, and feed and hobbles for the horse. On the other Sundays of the month, he preached in other congregations around the South Plains including Post, Tahoka, Meadow, Petersburg, Acufl Brownfield, Lamesa Littlefield, Slaton, Ralls. Loretuo. and ldalou. In 1900, Brother Sanders was asked to be a full trme minister for the church in Lubbock. He sold some land that he owned in Jack County for $100; and the church in Lubbock raised $100. He used $20 of that money to purchase four lots. The lots were located near the site of the present day Broadway underpass He had enough money to buy lumber for a three room box- and-strip house. The lumber was hauled by wagon from the railroad in Colorado Crty. Since the church contribution was only $2 to $5 per week, Brother Sanders had to supplement his income in order to support his growing family. He and his brother owned and operated a slaughtering house, meat market, and an ice house. -- www.jimmassey.org.
