VISITORS. >
t
EAST GRIFFIN, Jan. 2.—CKrist :
mas of 1923 has gone down in history
and we have only pleasant memories.
Our people are learning more and
more of the sacredness of this season
and how to spend it.
The holidays brought many joys,
among them Christmas trees at' all of
the churches for the little folks, with
most appropriate exercises.
The Georgia Cotton Mills remem¬
bered every child in their village with,
sack of fruit.
;The Young Ladies’ Club and the.
Young Men’s Class of the Baptiit
Sunday school had a joint Christmas
party at the I. 0. 0. F. hall. More
than fifty young people-enjoyed this
happy occasion. After several con¬
tests and games a^elicious salad
coux-se, with ambrosia and fruit cake
yvere served .by the teachers and the
. officers of the Sunday school. The
young people left feeling that they
could have a better time at this kind
of a party than at a dance!
Our people have enjoyed very much
the visits from ’the Young Men’s
k Evangelistic Club of Griffin and are
looking forward with pleasure to the
coming of the Character Builders on
Thursday night. It does oar heart
good to see these young-people get¬
ting so much" joy out of their reli¬
gion. So many of us have just
enough religion to make us unhappy.
Would that we could all “restore the
joy of salvation” through service.
Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Norton are the
happy parents of a baby girl. .
The many friends of little Mary
< I Ellen Brooks are rejoicing over seeing
her out after her illness of several
