Children’s Day at Rose Valley
Five years ago Rose Valley was a wilderness of diamond willows and buck brush. Settlers replaced obstacles with grain and gardens as deer disappeared and wigwams gave way to houses. In the little schoolhouse children study books and God’s wisdom, and Sabbath gatherings fill the crowded space as Sunday school grows from eleven to capacity. Sup’t W. P. Thornton and sister Mrs. W. J. Snow lead the drive for Children’s Day.
