Today & Tomorrow

PRAYING FOR YOU
There is a quiet corner in almost
every heart where treasured mem
ories linger, undisturbed by the
clang and din of hurrying days.
One such phrase, for most of us,
would be the familiar words: “I
am praying for you.”
Perhaps it was the day, long ago,
when you went away to school, or
to your first job in a distant city,
or to the armed services, or on
some foreign journey. Perhaps your
mother, standing there in the open
doorway, despite chillings winds or
blistering sun, waved that final
good-bye. Perhaps you are thinking
of letters from your parents, or
other loved ones, with the closing
benediction of unceasing prayer on
your behalf.
A letter from Mr. Sherman
Adams Assistant to President Eisen
hower, closes with this sentence:
“It is deeply gratifying to him to
know that he has your friendly
thoughts and prayer.”
So that it doesn’t matter what
station of life one occupies, wheth
er the White House or some hum
ble cottage down the lane, it does
mean a very great deal to know
that there are friends who remem
ber you in prayer.
Sublimest thought of all, of
course, is the assurance that Jesus
is praying for His people. “Who is
he that condomneth? It is Christ
that died, yea rather, that is risen
again, who is even at the right
hand of God, who also maketh in
tercession for us,” Romans 8: 34.
A big plane was about to -j-ake
off at the Atlanta airport. A little
boy was standing on the ramp,
his eyes fastened on the luxury
liner. Shopping to pat his chubby
hand, I asked him if he had ever
flown. He iookeup, and said:
“See that plane? That’s my Dad
dyy you see in that window. He is
the Captain. If you see him when
you get on, tell him I am praying
for him, and Mommie, too."
Presently the magnificent ship
was on her course above fhe
clouds, and the Captain came hack
among the passengers to see if all
was well. I tougched him on the
sleeve, and delivered the little fel
low’s message. The Captain clear
ed his throat, and walked on to
fhe rear, then back to my seat,
and said:
“Makes a fellow feel mighty
good to know someone is praying
for him.”

Holbrook Camp
Meeting Opens On
Friday August 17
Services will start at Holbrook
Camp Ground August 11, at 8 p. m.
and will continue through August
26. For 119 years thte people of
this section of Georgia have assem
bled each summer for old time,
soul stirring revivals that are typi
cal of Holbrook.
Holbrook is located in the north
eastern section of Cherokee County
about 12 miles from Canton and
one mile from State Highway No.
,20. Signs pointing the way make it
easy for newcomers to find it.
In 1839, Jesse C. Holbrook donat
ed 40 acres of land to the North
Georgia Conference to be used as
a Campground. Even though it is
deeded to the Methodist Conference
people of various religious back
grounds attend. It is self governed
by the tent holders, assisted by a
Board of Managers that are elected
by the tent holders and act for
them when Camp Meeting is not in
session.
Rev. F. C. Hicks is host preacher
and Rev. Nat. G. Long is District
Superintendent. The visiting preach
ers are Rev. A. E. Barton and Rev.
John Wilder. Mr. Harry Sellers will
lead the singing.
Much progress has been made
since the first encampment was
held. The people that attend enjoy
many conveniences the early camp
ers did not have. The large arbor,
the beautiful well kept campus, the
44 cottages with water and elec
tricity are a great improvement
over the brush arbor, covered wag
ons, open fire for cooking and the
spring at the foot of the hill that
was the only water supply.
Holbrook of today stands as a
memorial to the devoted Christian
people who sang, shouted and pray
ed here many years ago. They were
willing to withstand hardships in
order to enjoy the religious at
mosphere that existed at Holbrook.
The people of today that attend
Camp Meeting, many of them are
the children of the ones that have
now passed to their reward, are
striving to carry on the work. The
preachers will bring soul stirring
messages, the song and prayer ser
vices will be uplifting. There will
be prayer meetings held each day
by the men and the women and
special services will be conducted
daily for the children.
A large attendance and a great
Camp Meeting is expected this year
Every one is cordially invited.
