the mountain fastness to the north
Of Deming to seek the fleet footed
game. More people are now squint-
ing down a neglected $3.50 than at
any other time Of year, and the rusty
interiors bring dreams Of tall pines,
camps by shady brooks, and long
ranges over the high mesas. Men
who wouldn't go across the street to
angle will tramp blisters ON their
feet to get a shot at a whitehall
stag. II is the noblest sport Of all.
The best time to go naturally is
early in the season before hunters
have broken up the herds, and before
the timid animals have become ner-
vous with constant shooting. Many
parties will be ON the ella, the Ami
mas, or the other streams which flow
ON the east and west slopes of the
Black range in readiness to hunt,
when the dawn of the first day Of
October casts its first long shadows
over the purple canyons. From DEM
ing most hunters enter the regions
of the ella forest from Hillsboro in
Sierra county on the east side Of the
Black range, or from Silver City or
Santa Rita on the west side of the
Black range. Both routes are easily
traversed and bring the sportsman to
the hunting grounds in about "A day.

not too long, because the sport is not

their work.

GOD IS SEEKING
MAN SAYS PASTOR
Rev. Henry L. Davis Points
Out the Difference Between
the Christian and Other Re-
IigionS.

"The distinguishing feature be-
tween all other religions and the
Hebrew and Christian faiths is that
in the latter two il is held that God
is seeking man" said Rev. II. l.
Davis at the First NJ. Z. church Sun
day morning. His sermon was upon
the topic, THE Call of Matthew" and
he told of the marvellous activities of
Jesus Christ in his efforts to seek
men.
I'm other religions" continued the
pastor, men are continually trying TO
lift themselves TO God. When Jesus
was on earth. he was forever hunting
men that might help in the service OF
God. He saw those that needed help
the beggar. the blind. and the phys
ically afflicted"
The pastor made The assertion at
one point that the church was failing
in its allotted work and was not fol-
lowing the rules set by Christ unless
IL endeavored to do the same kind Of
work He did. He said that whether
q man lived in an old or a new church
the predominating work is to seek
and to save those who are lost.
In the evening the pastor spoke on
THE Fall of Judas" He said that
there were two reasons for the fall
of Judas The first was that the
temptation came to him at the point
where he was weakest The second
was that Judas fell as a result of the
power of protracted emptation-he
had had temptations thrust upon him
