made possible the preparation and issue of so splendid and valuable a number. In its preparation and arrangement the entire working force of THE OASIS have wrought faithfully and earnestly, each giv- ing to his work care and effective ness that has told in marked de. gree; so any mention of the work which omitted them would be un- fair and far from generous. And in the completeness and finish of the edition all hands in the office take a just and justifiable pride.
 This special Christmas number of THE OASIS will prove of great value as an advertisement of Nogales and Santa Cruz County; and beyond that, as the years pass it will be found ofreal and permanent historic value. In this feeting world times change, and men change with then. What could be more interesting today than such an edition as this published twenty-five years ago?
 Or one even ten years ago? With

The progress through the cent uries has been slow and painful, and so will it continue through the cen turies to come; but with recurring Christmas tide the high purposes of mankind have been found to have reached more elevated level, and the race stands upon higher plane; all through the abiding and persis- tent influence of the gentle Naza- rene.
 Taking into consideration all of these truths, weighing them we'll, and valuing them justly, men, women and children have reason to feel the joyousness and happiness of this benefcent season, and to wish to one another, as now does THE OASIS to all

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Once again in the ceaseless march of the ages the people of all the civilized world have paused today from their usual avocations to commemorate the memory of a remarkable historic character, and to celebrate the advent upon Earth of One who whether considered as God or a man of the highest and most exalted type, has left his inn press upon the hearts and minds of men as never has another; One whose influence has led men ever upward and onward, and step by step conducts the fast succeeding generations to higher and better lives, to purer and more lofty emotions, to keener sense of in- dividual responsibility with higher desires to be equal to it's demands
 When the mind surveys the short life upon Earth of the Sublime Be- ing whose advent is commemorate ed today, the few years of his min- istry, and it's wondrous and never waning influence upon the minds and morals of men, 1t is lost in wonder; and the mind that is open to conviction cannot resist the con. clusion that He was God made Man; and that His descent into the mys- tery of the Divine Incarnation was planned as step in some great and all pervading purpose. But even those who deny that, claim ing that Jesus Christ was but a great and good man, stand in awe before the manifest results of his short and tragic career, and are compelled to the admission that
 there has never been another life
