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

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.

Dan Hillman of the fisher
men's union said, after the
king's visit:
"I told the king the fisher
men are having a helluva

described in detail how one
Scottish trawler was attacked
by German planes with
bombs and machine guns."

Wall St. Report
New York, Dec. 22. (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,

F.D.R. 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.

Medford News, who has been
appointed Mr. Carney's chief as
sistant and has been receiving
schooling in Portland, will re
turn to Medford Saturday or
Sunday and next week will con
fer with the central committee
on the selection of enumerators.
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. Problem
Another problem pending be

committee is endorsement of a
postmaster for Gold Hill. An
examination for the post was
held last July and of the four
who took it only Harry (Bud)
Force, the incumbent, and John
Chisholm, now justice of the
peace, qualified.
The central committee is to
meet after January 1 to appoint
a precinct committeewoman for
Gold Hill to replace Mrs. Millie
Walker who moved to Corval
lis. The executive committee,
the committeewoman and Wil
liam Ferguson, Gold Hill pre
cinct committeeman, will then
meet to decide what course of
action to follow. Either Force
or Chisholm may be endorsed or
