Associated Charities and the organza- tions who are helping those who need | help are the Wise Men, and these | wise men of today have not half the gifts they need to help Santa Claus
 We hold a peculiar position in this country; nature has provided for us a wonderful climate and our fame has gone broadcast. In colder climes un- fortunate people, clinging to life with desperate zeal, fight their way out to us, trusting in the benefit of our cli- mate. When they get here the things they need to build them up they can not get because they cost too much. You say, Why do they come here?' Do we dare say that to any human being who loves life and wants to cling to it? We have them here-are we going to sit by and see them want?
 This is not for those of you who are modest and self sacrificing In your Christmas gifts. I want the children to have their goodies and their trees and their gifts and their happiness. I want to give my friends a little gift of remembrance. If there are those who need useful and pretty things, | want to give them, but l know there are hundreds of women, and I
 
 get some handsome gift from & hus- band. If said husband can afford to give the gift to the wife and it's equal amount in money to some charitable organization or to some needy person, 1 say he is thrice blessed. Let the wife have the joy in the present and the added joy of giving to others.
 The original Christmas spirit was gratitude for the redemption of the world, and the redemption of the world is in the brotherhood of man. Is that the spirit you put into your Christmas? I am ashamed to acknowledge it is not the spirit I put into Christmas, al- though years crowding into my life and the terrible cataclysm through which this unhappy world has been going have tempered my own selfish ness. We can all see that the rudder of civilization is carrying the ship of humanity more into the course Christ came 10 pilot us but we must all put hand to the oar.
 Did any of you place any signifi- canoe in the fact that Venus shone in the sky the other morning? I always think of the heavens as Gods blue board upon which He writes His om- impotence. We cannot read it all yet but 1 think we shall some day. I have thought, and thought seriously. of the wonderful spectacle in the heavens coming at this particular time of the year. 1 have no fear that it means catastrophe. The fear I have is that perhaps there is a revelation for us that we are not needing. Now we see through a glass darkly We have lost the faith of the Wise Men. You will all testify that man needs a Savior this Christmas as badly as ever he did nineteen hundred and nineteen years ago. Let the stars in the east tonight guide you back to the spirit of the Christmas of centuries ago. You will be happier and you will spread happiness"

WATER USERS WILL
 FILL BOARD POST

Appointment of a successor to Glenn Martin, resigned, as a member of the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users association will come before the association council at the regular monthly meeting Monday afternoon. MT. Martin, a member of the board from the seventh district, resigned recently because of pressing personal business which demands his entire attention.
 Whether or not the board of gov ernors will consider the appointment of a secretary to succeed the late Dr. Charles Van Der Veer, was a matter of speculation yesterday and no one would venture an opinion. F. c. Hen- shaw, assistant secretary, is serving as secretary until the vacant chair IS filled by appointment.
 Other matters to come before the two governing bodies of the Water Users association monday are merely routine.
