Christmas in Sioux Falls was
very nice. The weather was per-
rect, light snow slowly falling
gently from a calm peaceful sky'
Inc temperature was about 80 de-
grees above zero and most of
Sioux Falls was meek and humble.
One could feel the presence of The
Almighty if you stopped long
enough to pray.
Georgia Lee, as superintendent
OF the st. Johns Baptist Sunday
school, with her teachers. Mrs.
Hayes, Brenda Hayes, and James
Ferguson presented an outstanding
Christmas program with the
youngsters all in their perfect
roles starring before their parents.
Mrs. G. Vaughn as pianist for
the small choir made history as
the tiny tots came in wearing
white robes with big red bows at
the neck singing Christmas songs.
! Mrs. A. Hayes made the robes.
Georgia Lee has been superintend-
ant for the past year and is due a
lot of credit for her sincerity dur
ing these times Of indifference
The New Year came in like
fury-'twas cold and plenty of
snow, but no one complained be-
cause we've had such a grand
winter. God has smiled on most
Of us and we could never count
our many blessings
1t was so nice having our Dan
nette home which made our family
together for the beginning Of the
year. also thank God for having
our mother, Mrs. e. Moxley, on
the mend again. 1t was like old
times having Marvin Mcclure of
Minneapolis visiting us. Our home
was filled with teenagers for two
days. We have a small home so
Marvin stayed in the home of our
friends, the E. Bargers, 724
N. French Ave. I'm sure he enjoyed
his trip. Marvin's plane could not
land due to poor visibility. Fog
was thick as hops. He scared us
for awhile. He landed in Mitchell
South Dakota and TAXED in four
or five hours late, he was as well
come as the Lord.

sincere desire to make Mrs z.
