Abstract

THE BRUSH ARBOR REVIVAL MEETING by James L. Mathis, M. D. and rough pine benches were placed throughout, that was a Brush Arbor. August was a good time for an open air revival. Rain was not a big threat, the crops were laid by, and the people were The Holy Rollers in my little valley in the hills of Eastern Tennessee held a Brush Arbor Revival Meeting every year in late July or August when I was a kid. These good people were members of the Pentecostal Holiness Church, but a habit of rolling on the floor when in a religious frenzy gave them the nickname, Holy Rollers. The Brush Arbor was made by resting up for the fall harvest. Menfolk were bone tired from all the planting, hoeing, and sprout chopping in the rocky Tennessee soil, and the womenfolk had setting up rows of black oak and gum posts about 6 to 8 feet apart, then laying long, slender pine poles across them about 8 feet off the ground. When the top was covered densely with pine and canned and preserved and put away most of the garden stuff. It was a good time to be revived.
