THE COVIN H TON N E V/S

by ORAL ROBERTS
MONUMENT TO A LITTLE BOY'S FAITH
In a glass enclosure in our
Abundant Life Building in Tul
sa, Oklahoma, is a monument to
the faith of a little boy. Here
are displayed his built-up shoe
and a pair of crutches—no
longer needed because God
healed the little crippled lad.
This ten-year-old boy’s faith
brought healing from God. Let
me tell you about it.
Willie’s hipbone was flat. One
leg was 2-1/2 inches shorter
than the other. For four years
he walked in a built-up shoe and
with the aid of crutches. He
could not run and play like
other boys and girls. Many
times his little playmates took
Willie’s crutches away from
him, leaving him standing at
their mercy.
For four years, during Willie’s
school life in the state of Vir
ginia, the only way the school
children had ever seen him was
on crutches and wearing that
built-up shoe.
Willie’s parents heard about
our crusade in Roanoke. They
tpld him that if he had faith
when Oral Roberts prayed for
him, God would completely heal
him. Willie believed it. Before
they came to the meeting Wil
lie made his parents promise
that if God healed him through
prayer, they would go down the
next day and buy him a new
pair of shoes.
The prayer line was so long
that night that Willie could not
find a place to stand. After I

Mrs. Dorothy Shepherd vis
ited Mrs. Sara Townley on
Thursday of last week. I
had finished praying for the
sick, I was on my way out of
the building, tired, exhausted
and wanting to get to my room
for some rest. As I was passing
by the room where little Willie
was standing on his crutches
and built-up shoe, 1 looked into
it. Why? I don’t know.
I saw the little fellow looking
so lost and helpless. Something
got hold of me and 1 went in.
“Son,” I said, “do you want to
be healed?” Little Willie said,
“Yes, sir.” I was too tired to
pray a formal prayer, so I just
reached out and touched his
forehead and asked God to heal
Willie’s leg, in the name of Je
sus. I then left the building
A year and a half passed. I
had not heard that Willie had
been healed instantly by God.
I was amazed as anyone to see
him standing on the platform
at another Roanoke Crusade!
Willie said that when 1
touched him, he felt his faith
go, and God healed him. Im
mediately his leg, 2-1/2 inches
shorter than the other, was
lengthened
He couldn’t walk in his built
up shoe because it made his leg
too long! His parents had to buy
those new shoes before he could
go to school.
Today Willie is healthy and
normal. His built-up shoe and
pair of crutches, under glass in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, bear mute
testimony to the power of a lit
tle boy’s faith in God,

sion, there is the possibility of

Christmas Trees, First A
Hobby, Now A Big Business
Raising Christmas trees'
started out as a hobby with
Sam Rambo of LaGrange si x
years ago. and has turned into
a profitable sideline business.
Mr. Rambo, whose regular
business is selling oil marketing
equipment, has about 2,000 Eas
tern Red Cedar and Arizona
Cypress Christmas trees which
he plans to put on the market
in LaGrange, Lanett, West
Point and other Chattahoochee
Valley places in December.
“There is no such thing as
easy money in Christmas trees,”
he warned, but at the same time
predicted a great future for
production of the trees in t h. e
state.
“We should be shipping them
have been busy making models
of the solar system, a solar
mobile, star map, jet propul
sion, sun dial and a star clock.
The discovery has been made
that the least carelessnes is
reading or following directions
results in error and the model
doesn’t work until corrected.
At the last council meeting
in Squaresville, the mayor and
council decided that commit
tees were needed in the town.
The beautification committee
is planning the decorations for
the Christmas season. Phyllis
Hinton, Elese Edge and Edna
Fisher are the permanent mem
bers of this committee and
they will choose others to help
with the project. The recrea
tion committee will plan the
Christmas party. The perman
ent members are Bill Aaron
and Wayne Davis.
The library committee is
busy furnishing books, stories
and magazines for Christmas.
Jimmy Taylor and Tony Free
man are in charge of this com
mittee. The safety committee
will take charge of lighting
and decorating the tree. Char
les Berry and Wayne Dims
dale will supervise this work.
The mayor of Squaresville is
Richard Allgood; the clerk is
Lola Ann Bankston and the
council members are Gail
Rogers, Diann Freeman, Gail
Bankston and Jeffrey Hinton.

up North, instead of their ship
ping them down here,” he de
clared, pointing out that Geor
gia has a much larger growing
season and therefore can grow
trees faster than northern
states.
Many people have lost money
because they thought all they
had to do was plant them on
poor land and then go back in
three years and harvest a pro
fitable crop, he said.
“Cultivation and pruning are
the two most important prac
tices in producing marketable
Christmas trees,” he stated. “If
you don’t cultivate and mow, all
you will have is bushes — if
you have anything.”
He was speaking with ex
perience, because this is h i s
sixth year in growing trees,
and he is now almost ready to
start cutting his third crop.
Mr. Rambo has learned a
lot about growing and selling
trees, but is quick to admit
that he still has a lot to learn.
He has worked closely with
County Agent E. T. Evans, Jr.
and Extension Forester B. R.
Murray of the University of
Georgia of Agriculture in pro
ducing his trees.
Although he has some well
to cut, he said his best exper
ience has been with the Eastern
Red Cedar in the heavy clay
soil of Troup County. He has
also planted some Mexican Cy-

press and white pine, which ar*
not yet of marketable age.
Marketing is as important as
growing trees, he emphasized.
He lost some trees last year by
putting them on the market too
soon. Experience has shown him
that it is best not to try to sell
trees before the 14th or 15th of
December.
He is also careful to advise
all customers to put the tree in
water as soon as they get home
and keep it in water as long as
it is being used for decoration.
A six or seven-foot tree will
take up as much as two quarts
of water the first day and con
tinue to take it up in lesser
amounts for several days,
thereby keeping it fresh and re
ducing the fire hazard, he con
tinued.
Some of his trees are sold
on lots which he runs himself
and some are sold wholesale.
Mr. Rambo plants about 2,500
seedlings on one acre each Jan
uary, and it usually takes three
years to clear a plot after the
first cutting.
“Get the best possible land,
“he advises. “Land that has
been row cropped is good be
cause it is usually fertile.”
Spacing of trees depends on
equipment to be used in t h e
field, he explained. He plants
trees four feet apart in rows
five feet apart to make room for
his mower.
