SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
BALL GAM Es

After the splendid exhibition oil
ball-playing Thursday and Friday, the
Durango fans were rather disappoint'
ed over the games of Saturday and
Sunday. The game Saturday was
lust as fine as one could wish to see
up to the seventh inning, when the
the score stood l to 0, Silyerton get
ting in run in the sixth. But In the
seventh Hardens arm gave out and
the strong Silyerton batters hit him
for five runs, coupled with errors oil
the in and out-fields. 1t will be re-
membered in Thursdays game Har-
den was hit on the right arm by a
pitched ball which caused a swelling
and at one time it was feared he
wouldn't be able to pitch Saturday S
game, but he got along all right until
the seventh when he could not keep
up the pace as every nerve was
strained in Thursdays game. In the
eighth inning Silverton scored two
more runs making the score at the

sAReER's GOOD WORK.

Large congregations listened to the
Rev. o. b. Sarber's farewell sermons
Sunday, September 80. In the even
ing a union service was held at the
Baptist church. Many people were
disappointed in not being able to Sc
cure seats and went elsewhere. The
music was especially fine, adding
much to the services, Rev. Grace
spoke so earnestly and with nigh
praises about Mr.. Sarber's work-and
standing in Durango-every word of
which found an echo In the hearts Of
his hearers. This was followed by
baptismal service. Mr.. Sarber then
spoke feelingly to his congregation,
friends and members OF the church
In regard to his leaving them and
how hard it was for him, but urging
them as they loved him to so unitedly
work for the church and for the pas
tors who should follow him, urging
the church to call pastor soon.
Mr.. Sarber's sermon which fol-
lowed was touching and manly APP
peal for all his hearers to follow our
bessed Lord and Master through life.
Many OF the members of the Bap-
list church feel and so express them
selves that no one can ever fill the
place OF their beloved pastor.

YELLOW CANDIDATES
FOR YELLOW JOURNALS


In the great state OF New York,
William Randolph Hearst. the million
aire prince of yellow journalists, has

party. His first lieutenant is Charles

ex-saloonkeeper, now millionaire

tomobiles. The Democratic party

But not whisper about municipal

have heard scores of people say that
Mr.. Sarber is the very best worker
among young people of any minister
they have ever known. Some day he
may be shown that this is his lies
work. We were sorry that more OF
the business men could not have
heard Mr.. Sarber thank them for their
unfailing courtesy and their hearty
cooperation in his work. He spoke
with much feeling of many in other
churches who had become his per
sonal friends. Mr.. Sarber said he
loved the Baptist church of Durango,
and also said that he had given the
best efforts of his life, as far as he
knew. to this field. And ii was with
deep regret that lie severed his re-
lations with the beloved members OF
the church service of the Baptist
church of Durango.
From some figures submitted at the
| morning service, we gather that MT.
Sarber has travelled in the service OF
the church over eight thousand miles.
This includes the trip east as far as
Providence, r. 1. when he was Sc
curing money for the building fund;
and has Travelled in saddle and
buggy on the local missionary work,
six thousand miles more. These trips
extend from Chrome, Pagosa Springs,
Bayfield,, Hespurus, Mancos, Tr1mble
Springs, Hermosa, lockwood and
Pennington. and many coal, lumber
and Mining camps; also two journeys
through the Navajo country-s-e
with his wife and one with Dr.
Chivers of New York and Dr. Rair-
den of Omaha. These were in con-
pection with two Grey Hill MISSIONS
Mr.. Sarber raised by subscription,
over $4,000 for the new building.
The Baptist church has certainly re
ceived in money through Mr.. Sarber's
efforts more than they have paid to
him in salary.
wonder how many churches ana
pastors can show the same record.
We have barely mentioned the
4 building of the church, which is one
of the greatest monuments to Mr..
Sarber's energy and faith. When
he first mentioned building
rev church the Baptists were per
fectly incredulous, so far as expecting
any results. In fact they thought he
could not be in earnest The men,
bers were comparatively poor, and
had struggled to pay for the lots on
Third avenue and to pay fdrSyer
pastor. and the very idea of thinking
of such thing as building a church
good enough for the location was
merely dim hope in the distant fu-
ture; but for Mr.. Sarber to plan was
to execute, and having such leader,
and rallied nobly to his aid. But it
was gigantic undertaking. the dem
onitization of silver and the dark
days following would have discour
time for encouragement. More than
eleven thousand dollars have gone
ip'o the church ana furnishings as
result OF one mans determination and
lenergy. No, we should not say one
man, for Mr.. Sarber had tireless
and devoted help-mate. Mrs. Sarber,
