White Gift Sunday
held at Knox United
• BELGRAVE — A large
congregation participated
with the Sunday School, De-
cember 13 when White Gift
Sunday was celebrated in
Knox United Church. A
children's choir rendered the
anthem, "Children Go."
Paul - Coultes and
Katherine- Procter were in
charge of the Christmas
sd'ipture readings. The
White Envelope contribu-
tions, which support a foster
child in Bali, Indonesia, were
collected in tsso white
baskets by Donna Higgins
and Robert Gordon.
George Procter, superin-
tendent, gave a short ad-
dress relating information
concerning the child, •Sinta,
Approximately $270 is
required annually for the
boy's support. For eight
years Sinta has received the
White Gift donations from
the Sunday School.
The children of the' choir
and toddlers of the
congregation occupied the
centre front seats while Rev.
John G. Roberts told the
story of "Jim and Della."
Long ago the couple, who
had very little money, lived
in a city apartment.
As the first Christmas of
their married lives ap-
prdached, the partners
wished to exchange gifts.
Della's only proud
possession was her long
tresses. These she willingly
had cut and sold to' obtain
money, while Jim's sole
-possession was an heirloom
pocket watch.
Della spent the receipts
from her sale to purchase a
chain for Jim's watch. Jim
bartered his watch to obtain
two jewelled combs with
which to adorn Della's hair.
The moral of the story is
"Love is more important
than gifts; to give always
costs us something." Each
giver must be personally in-
volved.
