 A very interesting sermon on Gods Unspeakable Gift. was given by the church pastor, Rev. William J. Craw- ford After speaking of Paufs recog- nition of the inadequacy of words to express the magnitude of Gods gift to the world, Mir. Crawford recounted the motive and impelling force which caused this Gift. Man, created in the image of God, had been so married by sin that nothing less than the Sacrifice on Calvary could transform this imperfect image. Gods love for the world was so great that there was no limit to the magnitude of the Gift which He would make to redem man. If we are more like Christ than we were a year ago, we may say with Paul .'Thanks be to God for His un- speakable Gift"
 The church was artistica1ly decorat- ed with red and green. Laurel and red berries were arranged effectively about the alter, also baskets of as- paragus fern.

VISIT OF OLD
7 INFER In
NOCALES

Yesterday THE OASIS office re-
ceived a call from Mr.. P. c. Forres-
ter, from Tacoma, Washington, who
was in these parts many years ago.
Away back in 1886, when Hugh
White conducted The Nogales smell
ter, on what is known as the smelter
site, at the brow of Cavalry Hill, Mr..
Forester was employed at the plant
He went north shortly after that,
and this is his first visit at the in
ternational border in thirty-one
years.
Mr.. Forester finds a number he
knew in the days SO long gone by.
Among them are Mr.. A. L. Peck
Capt. L. W. Mix, Charles W. Beck,
and a few more. He is a mining
man, and he informed THE OASIS
that while his visit here is tempora-
ry only, being under necessity of re-
turning TO Washington, he expects to
return and get into the mining game
again in Mexico or southern Arizona.

EMBEzzLER
BOUND over

In Justice Wilkey's court yester-
day afternoon the express effice
clerk, Harry A. Lewis, whose arrest
on. charge of embezzlement had
been made the preceding day, was
bound over to appear in the Superior
Court for trial, and he will be
brought to trial, no doubt, at the
February jury session.
This is a peculiar case: The ac-
cused was a clerk in the express Of
flee at Nogales. 1t was discovered
that he had taken number of hun-
dred dollars that had been paid into
the office on C. o. D. consignments
keeping the money, instead of re-
mitting it to consignors of the goods.
With that money he skipped to
Guaymas.
At the Sonora metropolis Superin-
tendent Egan took the young man in
hand, advising his return to Nogales
to surrender himself. The alterna-
tive presented was arrest and lying
in Jail there awaiting the slow opera
tion of extradition proceedings
which would bring him back to the
United States in time anyhow. 81
he took the advice and came, cross
ing the line and surrendering him
self.

Nogales. Mirth and Happiness
Prevails.

With the most unusual incentive
for happiness the people of Nogales
celebrated the advent of the New
Year in this year of Our Lord, 1919,
with fervid ant energetic enthusiasm
Several social functions served to
enliven the evening and the later
hours. At the Santa Cruz Club
there was the usual Anniversary
Ball of that institution; the Nogales
Cafe held high jinks, and at num-
Der of private homes there were joy
full gatherings.
The Santa Cruz Club was throng-
ed with happy pleasure seekers, and
the occasion rvas or-e of the most
lively and most enjoyable of the ma
ny enjoyable functions given by that
organization. The orchestra of the.
25th Infantry band supplied the best
OF music, and all went with a zest
and snap that were remarked by all.
When the clocks struck. twelve and
che whistles rang out the advent of
the New Year, all Joined in congrat-
ulations, while upon the wall in let
ters of blazing light appeared the
legend "1919, the Year We Win"
Dainty refreshments were served.
At the Nogales Cafe there was a
happy throng at Cabaret Dinner
dance; and the function was carried
off with all the grace and aplomD
for which that popular resort is not
ed. There was most exquisite music
the dancing flooor was fine, and the
cuisine was right up to the top notch.
All present enjoyed themselves
greatly, and the popular establish
ment scored another great and grand
success.
And EVERYBODY was sure it
was very, very "Happy New
Year."

poorer class of Mexicans, many of

needed most would be comfortable
quarters, nourishing food, and ade-

there having been rendered for that
purpose. 1t has been put in charge

CELEBRATE
new YEAR

NEF YORK, Dec. 31.-With the
war time lid on hilarity removed by
the prospects for peace the advent
of 1919 is being celebrated by the
greatest and most lively throngs of
happy people seen in Gotham
through several years; and from all
parts of the out of town districts
there have thronged into the city
vast crowds of people all on pleasure
bent. There has never been any
thing like it. Hotel and restaurant
men reported that never before have
reservations reached the number that
they have done tonight.
The revelry is happy and good ma
tured, all seeming light hearted and
happy, while mirth and joy are
spontaneous.
A strike among cooks and Writer'S
threatened to jar the pleasure of the
occasion, but proprietors had pro-
vided sufficient non-union help to
tide over the crisis, and all went as
planned.

PHENOMENON

It will be recalled that not long
ago Mrs. F. F. Rodriguez was very
i'll with pneumonia, attendant with
hemorraghes of the bronchial appa-
ratus, the flow of blood at the time
being quite alarming to her family
and medical attendants. But,
thanks to good care and nursing, she
recovered and now she is as we'll as
ever.
But the remarkable feature, which
is described as a physiological phe-
nomenon, is that the lady has devel-
oped a fine singing voice, whirh she
had not before her illness. The
hemorrhages have made some alter
alton in the structure of her throat
and breathing apparatus which has
altered her voice. 1t is considered
quite remarkable.
