MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1934. PAGE THREE CHRIST'S COMING GREATEST JOY IN WORLD'S HISTORY Society and Clubs Edited by Irva Fewell Edwards Fred M. Weatherford, In speaking irom me local tnurcu 01 me nazat- rene yesterday morning, used as his topic: "Christ, the Miraculous Won der." In part, he said: "The thing that makes Christmas the most Joyous season of the year is the fact that this date records the time when humanity became the receiver of that matchless gift of God. The commemoration .of our Savior's birth always ellcltes that spirit of gratitude which can only find expression In giving. The Joy of receiving Is exceeded only by the Joy of giving. "The gift of God is a perennial gift. Christ became man In the birth of Bethlehem, In order to give us life divine. As the world was sold Into sin. through Adam, so Christ, the second Adam, came to ransom re deem man from Satan's pawn shop. "If you have never permitted this star of beacon light to enlighten and guide you to the harbor of de liverance; If, like Herod, you have steadfastly waged warfare against the Babe of Bethlehem; If you have never opened your heart's door to receive his message, the gift of Eter nal life, may I improve this happy hour to lead you to that glorious Baviour of men and Immortalize this Christmas by malting His mission a glorious fulfillment In your life. "God. in His word, calls Christ The Counsellor. We have never had such great need for right counsel as now. Self-reliance has atraightened many. Financial reverses and unemployment have driven many to look about for someone to effectively counsel a way out of this hopeless helplessness. . You can find that counsellor of Bethle hem today at the right hand of The Father. Here you will find counsel that is concern for your soul, that lives on after the toys of time, for which men scramble so frantically, have crumbled Into dust. Here Is .nil ii th. solution to our economic Ills, for He says: 'Seek ye first the Kingdom or uoa ana of these things shall be added unto you." He Is that counsel who says 'Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you "The present mllltsrlstlo dominance among nations is a wiuemouio entary on the depravity of the ho- .. heart. th world RrOUnd. "It Is pathetic that, after 19 centu ries of hearing the Golden Gospel of the Prince of Peace that there are so many countless millions who re fuse to let this Prince of Peace guide the state of natlona and en throne Himself In the personnel of the world. "The influence of every cycle In u - v.ia,AH n. man that has made a contribution to an everlasting civilization la traceaoie to a Deaieu path to Him, whose birth marks the firat miriat.mftj, cift. The eternities, past and future, meet in Him who stoops to put His everlasting arms i.nrlamenth tn lift US UD tO heSVen. Let this bear the fruitage In your life In making today me inrm 01 Merry Christmas by letting this price less gift of God come Into your heart."

It is Illustrated with charts and tables, and contains much infor mation for orchardlsts. A portion of the summary and con clusion reads: "The rate of growth of the fruit was found to be very closely related to the moisture content of the upper three feet of soil. Studies of the ef fect of soil moisture on the rate of fruit growth have Bhown that when ever the moisture content fell below 70 per cent of the available capacity, the rate of growth of the fruit was reduced. "The rate of growth of the fruit was greatest during the latter part of the growing season and thus the effect on the size of fruit at harvest of a low moisture content late In the season was greater than the effect of equally low soli moisture earlier In the season. "A high soil moisture content was conducive to long spur and shoot growth.

ALDEN, Sec7 correlation between variations In the storage of dessert quality and dltter encea In soil moisture. "High soil moisture waa conducive to the production ot fruit of the larg er and more desirable sizes. When Bartlett pears were heavily thinned, the plots having high soil moisture produced pears that were too large to bring the highest prices. "The thinning practice In the or; chard should be co-ordinated with the Irrigation practice lo order that pears of the most desirable sizes ana heavy ytlds may be obtained.
