ly disposed Of
The program and Christmas tree
that was given at the Oaktield Baptist
church Christmas day was we'll at
tended in spite of the cold, windy
weather. The program was good and
much credit is due to the little folks
that took part. The most conspicu-
Gus part about the presents were their
value and usefulness. Presents are
always pleasant surprise, and it
were truly so by many that were
given from that tree. Rev. G. L. A.
Christensen and wife each received
valuable present; he, fine fur over
coat, and she, very pretty and SER
viceable shawl. He can express his
thankfulness in his own manner best
as was noticed after he had discovered
what had been given them. The
church also gave to Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor Jackson two very handso me
pieces of furniture which filled the
vacancy in that line in their b ONE, as
an appreciation of the services of
Mrs. Jackson in helping with the
music for the occasion and for
previous services for the past several
years. These presents are valued
very highly as they are so useful as
to be in use daily and coming with
such a spirit adds much more to
their value.
