Mr. and Mrs. R.T. Venters entertained the C.M.B. Class of Blackwell Memorial Sunday school Monday evening in the church parlors. It happened to be the birthday anniversary of Mr. Venters, who is the teacher of the class. After business discussion a basket was presented to him, which, carrying out the Sunday School’s idea of a “White Christmas,” was filled not with gifts for Mr. Venters but for a little child at the Children’s Home which had been adopted by the class. Mr. Venters was very appreciative of the gifts being so happily turned over to one who needed it more than he, but later on it developed that the class had a gift for him, too, so he had to make another speech of appreciation. The meeting was much enjoyed, about 35 members being present. A delicious ice course was served.
