INDIAN SPRING HOLINESS
CAMP MELTING
years ago camp
were common, particularly in the
South. The country was rather
sparcely settled, travel was much
more difficult thnn now and people
could not go long distances to church
and return in a day; hence Camp
Meetings were frequent, the people
came in large numbers for miles and I
camped in covered wagons, tents anil
shacks for a week or ten days and
great were the religious and social
times.
But the old time Camp Meeting is
almost a thing of the past. Here and
there a few of them are left; but
these rarely hold the place in the in
terest of the people which such gath
erings held in the days of our lath
ers.
There is, however, a distinctive type
of camp meeting which flourishes to¬
day and is a mighty power for good,
Perhaps the greatest of all these in
the South is the Indian Spring Holi
ness Camp Meeting, held near that
famous spring in Georgia every year
beginning on Thursday night before
the second Sunday in August and
closing the third Sunday night.
There are some hundred cottages,
many of which are comfortable homes;
an i'these are taxed to their capacity
to care for the families and their
guest who journey annually to this
great Southern Camp. A hotel and
several boarding houses on the
grounds accommodate some five hun
dred people and they are filled to ,
overflowing every year. The cot¬
tages and accommodations on the
grounds will take care of more than
a thousand people, and easily a
thousand more come in from the
surrounding country every day, when

In speaking of this unique work,
Dr. J. M. Glenn, Presiding Elder, of
the Dublin District of the Methodist
church and Secretary-Treasurer said:
“The Camp Ground has sustained its
heaviest loss this year in the death of
its President, Rev. George W. Math
ews. No saintlier man ever lived and
labored in Georgia, and many who
knew and loved him will make spe

Service during the camp meeting
this year.”

summer school. A program was rush- i
ed to her, along with a crate of the j
beautiful Hale peaches from the or- |
chard of W. D. Murray. Thus Miss ;
Hale was enabled to take first honor
for Georgia with her stunt, as ex¬ i
plained in the following letter to Mr.
Vance:
60 F. S. Ha'!,
Asheville, N. C.
July 17, 1925
Dear Mr. Vance:
Well, you are right, they are really the I
finest peaches in the world. And we did win
the cup, too, for having the ben stunt. I
am prouder than ever of being «i Georgian
and a Fort Valleyan. (I am still claiming
it you see.)
The stunt was beautiful. We had a wo*
man to read the story of the pageant, and
one girl to represent each country who came
in as her name was called. The costumes
were beautiful. Georgia was the only state
represented and the peach was the queen
of Georgia. She had several attendants
dressed in green who carried peach houghs,
and eight fruit bearers, dressed in pink petal
dresses, carrying those lovely peachrs on
trays. We also had a girl in a pink dress
to do a pretty dance. It was decid_*dly the
prettiest and most popular thing they had.
! The pictures will be in the rotogravure sec
tion of the Atlanta papers soon.
The judges were men from New York and
they were high in their praise of the Geor¬
gia peach.
L have gone into all this detail for Ola’s
sake. She will probably be more interested
in it than you are.
The prize is a beauiful loving cup which
Georgia holds till next year.
There are about a hundred Georgians here
and we were all very happy over winning
the cup. since there were ten states entered
and all the stunts were fine.
Again want to thank you very, very
much for helping us out so much. We never
could have done it without you.
My love to all the folks, I am
Your friend truly.
Mary Hale.
