    I remember that story from when I first got saved as far back as '77. I could have sworn I read Harold's personal account of it though. Guess not.
    Apparently someone trying to promote the tale decided to use Harold Hill's name to try to add credibility to the story:

    "... Interestingly, some accounts have Mr. Hill as being the man who had attended Sunday school as a small child, and who therefore was responsible for helping the NASA computers find the "missing day" of Joshua. In other accounts, Mr. Hill is simply a man who was present as these events unfolded, and as such is the storyteller. To add to the confusion, some stories leave out Mr. Hill's name, and his part in these events, altogether.

    Many have tried, and failed, to document this story. After an article on this subject appeared in the Bible-Science Newsletter in April 1970, a number of readers of that publication sent letters to Mr. Harold Hill, care of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland. Their letters, however, were returned with a notation from the Post Office that no such firm existed in Baltimore. In the July 1989 issue of the Bible-Science Newsletter, there appeared an article which mentions that after the April 1970 publication of the story, some readers finally did receive a form letter from Mr. Hill, in which he stated that he did not write the original article..."

    I found this link which says this story was in the book 'How To Live Like A King's Kid' under the title "How to Find the Missing Day" from chapter 3

    If anyone has the book can they verify if this is accurate


    The question then arises...Did this Harold Hill 'lie' to promote this story amongst believers to sell himself and his book???


    You want to believe the best but we also know the sinful nature even among believers when it comes to fame and money is strong

    Like I said, I thought I had read him personally say it. I didn't realize it was in the book that I got saved reading.

    Sounds like he was just repeating what he had heard too.
