Free Will Baptist Orphanage at Christmas, Dec. 30, 1924

Made the Hearts of Children Happy. . . People from Milburnie Church Gave the Children of the Free Will Baptist Orphanage at Middlesex Fruit and Candy, Provisions and Other Supplies

Middlesex, N.C., Dec. 29—Christmas Eve some of the good people from Milburnie Church and community came over to the Orphanage at Middlesex, N.C., and made the children’s hearts rejoice. They had a present and a nice bag of fruit for every child in the home. Also 115 pounds of nice meat barbecued for Christmas dinner, $75 worth in all.

We thank the Lord for such people as they are. They were so good a year ago when they brought Santa with them, all dressed up. Thanking one and all.
