Friday, October 1, 1948 WAKEFIELD NEWS Our church was decorated very pretty with beautiful potted plants by Mrs. Raleigh Sherron last Sun day, but there was something still more beautiful— the smiling faces of the children that had been away so long. We were glad to have them come back, but we only had a hundred of them and we should have had three hund red. There are plenty of folks to fill a church several times if they would only come.
