Christmas Mission Box Rewards a Frontier Pastor Family
In a city church a group of women fill a Christmas missionary box for Rev. Paul Bradford and family. The Bradfords, barely recovering from debt and illness, receive a vast aid package including clothing, food, a coat, a doll for Grace, a sled and skates, and a $100 gift, with each item donated by parish members. Their gratitude contrasts with the box’s earlier critiquing voices.
