Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1939. PAGE THREES CHRIST BORN IMMACULATE PASTOR SAYS Rev. Fred M. Weatherford, speaking from the topic, "The Virgin Birth of Christ," drew his text from Isaiah 7:14, "Be hold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel." In part, his message is as follows: The virgin birth is one of the most basic of the Christian fundamentals. The credibility of the Scriptures rest upon Christ having been virgin born. Matt. 1:23, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with The Virgin Mary has always been honored by the church as the most worthy example of pure womanhood. It was from her lips that the story of the im maculate conception of Jesus was revealed to us. Evidence of the Virgin Birth of Christ The great evangelical bodies of Christendom, for nearly nine teen centuries and a half, have accepted the virgin birth. In all the extant manuscripts of Matthew, referring to the virgin birth of Christ, critical scholars have never disputed its genuine ness. It represents the testi mony of one who lived in the time of Jesus. This gave Matthew, a Jew, who wrote par ticularly to the Jews, every op portunity to be certain about the facts. It required a con scientious historian to utter a truth which he knew would be offensive to the people being ad dressed. The fact of Christ's virgin birth is so ingrained in the faith of Christendom as to be in cluded in the apostles' creed: "I believe in Jesus Christ, being born of the Virgin Mary." The enemies of the virgin birth of Christ have advanced the thought that the word, "vir gin," may mean only a young, unmarried woman, but the translators of the Septuagint, who were thoroughly familiar with Hebrew connotation, ren dered it, "parthenos," in Greek, which definitely means a vir gin. A virgin is not only an un married maiden, but one who has kept her virginity. The chapters containing references to the virgin birth are in every ancient manuscript. In order to be sinless, Christ had to be virgin born, and He must be sinless in order to be the Saviour of the world, there for since He is the Saviour of the world He must have been virgin born. In the first creation God did not create man's body out of nothing, but formed it miracu lously out of the dust of the al ready existing earth, of which Adam was to become the Lord: so, at the appearance of a second Adam (Jesus), He did not create Him out of nothing, but took Him who was of miraculous Di vine conception from a human mother, so as to maintain the organic connection, which must exist between the head of the new humanity and that natural humanity, which it is His mis sion to raise to the highth of His own stature spiritually. It is more miraculous that we are born again then that Christ was virgin born; for we have no ma terial hand to help us. Jesus, Himself, Claimed To Be The Son Of God The Bible specifically states that God was His father: "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Jesus declared Himself to be the Son of God when to say so meant His death. Matt. 26:63 66. A similar declaration is found in Matt. 27:43. Jesus claimed to be God in the whole region effecting the moral and spiritual life of men. lie instituted the rules by which they are guided in their traffic from earth to heaven. As God. His authority transcends that of the Mosaic law. Seven times, in referring to the law, where He instituted change in the law af fecting conduct, He said, "But I say unto you." Refer to Matt. 5:20, 22, 28, 32, "34, 39 and 44. These verified, connecting links of prophecy prove Him to he the Son of God. It was first prophesied in Genesis that He was to be born of the seed of woman; that He was to come through the lineage of Abraham and from Judah and be born In Rethleham of a virgin. All of these were literally fulfilled. "Ashamed of Jesus, that dear friend, On whom my hopes of heaven depend .'o; when I blush be this my shame, That I no more reverence His name." 'To the dear fountain of thy blood, Incarnate God! I fly: Here let me wash my spotted soul From crimes of deepest dye."slfy Ads u 1:90 p. m HAS CONTRACT TO E (oontlnued iMcn page one) ily sold the chromium mine it held near Seiad, Cal. Backed Coast Railroad ! Dr. Reddy, friends recalled to day, was intensely interested in the development of southern Oregon and among numerous projects that engaged his time and talent was a proposed rail-; road from Medford to Crescent! City, Cal., affording a direct route to the coast. Associated with Dr. Reddy was the late Judge W. E. Crews who served on the federal bench in Alaska during the 1898 gold rush per iod. Michael Reddy, a brother of Mrs. Moroney, was in Medford today visiting friends. He said he left San Francisco five days ago and that Mrs. Moroney was to leave there two or three days later for Alaska to get the mines started. Michael said that when she returns in about two weeks he will go to Alaska and remain there until the government con tract is fulfilled. Mrs. Moroney went to Alaska about a year ago and acquired title to the two mines which are to provide chromium to the gov ernment Mr. Reddy said. Both mines are near Seldovia where headquarters will be made, he added. Mrs. Moroney learned about the mines from her as sociates, he explained, saying the mines were in production during the World war. They con tain chromium of exceptionally high grade, he said. Hard Job Ahead Under the government con tract, Mr. Reddy explained, de livery must start within three months and the entire 25,000 tons of ore must be delivered at New Cumberland, Pa., within a year. Mr. Reddy foresaw a hard Job ahead in solving production and especially delivery problems be cause of the location of the mines in the distant and frozen north. But, he added, Mrs. Mor oney is associated with a group of the best chromium mining engineers in the country and she is confident of success. A com pany has been formed and the mines have been turned over to the corporate entity, he related. "AH we expect and hope for is to break even on the govern ment contract, Mr. Reddy said "It is our hope that through the contract we can get the mines into production, with the con struction of necessary roads and installation of modern equip ment, so that we can continue to mine and sell in the open market after the government contract has been completed.

(JP) Stock market traders looked longingly for Santa Claus to day but generally he proved to be the "little man who was not there." Aircrafts led a mild recovery move at one time, and scattered specialties gave a good account of themselves. On the other hand, numerous leaders hovered in the neighborhood of Thurs day's final levels and the ma jority of gains was limited to small fractions. Reinvestment buying was a stabilizing influence, brokers said, but it was hardly strong enough to more than partially offset further tax selling. The latter, though, was believed to be nearing the end. Transfers approximated 700, 000 shares. Today's closing prices for 32 se lected stocks follow: Al. Chem. St Dye 176 Am. Can ILS Am. & Fgn.

RECONCILED TO LARGER DEFICIT IN C0MIN6BUDGET Three Billion Excess Over Income Seen Necessary War Makes Changes.. By Irving Perimeter Washington, Dec. 22. (fP) President Roosevelt was de scribed by usually well Inform ed officials today as reconciled to a $3,000,000,000 deficit in the next federal budget in spite of an announced desire to limit it to $2,000,000,000. When the president sends his annual budget message to con gress the first week in January, these sources predicted, he will ask for about $9,250,000,000 of expenditures during the year beginning July 1, 1940. New Taxes Not Counted At the same time he 1 ex pected to forecast revenues dur ing that fiscal year of about $6,300,000,000, not counting revenue from any new taxes which congress might levy. Whether the deficit will be slightly more or less than $3,000,000,000 depends on ad justments in preliminary calcu lations which the president, the budget bureau and treasury have yet to make before the big budget book goes to the printer next week. War Makes Changes Behind the scenes, the war has boosted some costs, partic ularly those for national de fense, and has cut some rev enues, such as customs receipts. But better business some say this is also a war effect has reduced certain costs, like re lief, and has improved such rev enues as income and excise taxes. By spending less and taking in more, the deficit in the next budget may be about $800,000, 000 smaller than the shortage for the current year, careful estimates are the government will spend about $9,500,000,000 and take in about $5,700,000,000 this year. The president has thrown out some pretty broad hints about his next budget which are keep ing many Washington officials on pins and needles.

Mr. Carney was quoted by central committee members as saying that definitely no one will be employed for any census work who has ever been in volved in any kind of public controversy. This ruling, it was pointed out, would eliminate any applicant who took any kind o part in the Banks-Fehl controversy here a few years ago, no matter how he partici pated or on what side. It was said that Mr. Carney is taking pains to select only competent workers who will have the full confidence of all the people to be contacted. Gold Hill P. M.
