What They Are Saying About Us


alton of many of the 300 wells
that have made the Lower Min.
bres valley garden.spot is
shown in colored Photographic
slides, which are a feature of the
entertainments given in the audi.
tOrium of the New Mexico build.
ing at the Panama. California
Exposition here. When the
agriculturist hears that these
wells are inexhaustible, the
water in them being lowered not
at all despite the immense
volume pumped out, he i'm.
mediately begins to sit up and
take notice"
There also are slides of farming
and fruit growing. All form an
admirable publicity scheme in
behalf of Columbus and the
Lower Mimbres valley.
1t is the aim of the commission
to buuSt it all the time. Colum.
bus and the Lower Mimbres
valley are receiving their share
of this publicity, and it is evident
that the results will be big.
The fact Of the big growth of
the section and city IN three
years is something that has
definite appeal and punch. "
Tine ave rage man from the East
is seeking new country" in
which To new out his fortune;
generally, the newer the better,
Tor he realizes that there are
more abundant opportunities
awaiting him. For this reason,
Columbus amt the Lower Min
bre~ are in the most favorable
position for development to at.
tract settlers. Enough has been
done tu show the great pOSsi.
possibilities OF the section; but
eacn man realizes tuaJ Uppor
tunitles still wait at every turn
iOr the hustler.
The lecture details this growth
and tie foundations for it: The
great supplies Of underground
water in the Mimbres and the
remarkable fertility of the
almyia soil OF the valley; light
loan on clay base, which holds
the water, the whole having a
gentle slope which prevents the
ground becoming water.logged,
Next, the products are enumerat-
ed and described; Barley, oats,
wheat, beans, alfalfa, forage
crops, garden truck, fruits and
watermelons. To the man who
seeks location, nothing the
whole Exposition has to show
surpasses the Lower Mimbres
valley.
Exceptional climate, warm
winters and cool summers, with
protection by the mountains
against storms, are emphasized
again and again
Columbus location as the
center of this rich region is an
important part of the lecture,
Its growth during recent years,
and its position as shipping
point for an immense territory
outside the Lower Mimbres
itself commend it especially tu
the man who wishes to open a
business house and who has
money to invest. Its climate,
schools, railroad facilities and
numerous other advantages are
told in detail.

Be Not Fashioned According
To This Age

There is always better age,
always nobler life, always some
more radient state into which
mankind may be transformed
and that is reconciliation with
God. How is this transforma.
tion to take place? The mind is
to be renewed. That is, the
innermost being, the spirit, is to
be recast by this power in such
fashion that the soul will be
able to oest or experience what
is the good and acceptable and
perfect will of God for him. The
idea is something like this:
There are two worlds; there is
the actual world of natural de.
sires and tendencies and evOlu.
tion and here is the ideal world,
the world as God wishes it to be
and the world as in Christ he is
making it to be. Our souls
stand between the two. Our
souls are either the barrier or
the medium of Christ. An cleo
trio current is checked by some
substances known ~ insulators,
but is carried on by others
known aS conductors. So souls
are either the insulatOrs or con.
ductOrs of Christ, We must
not imagine that the world is
going tO realize the love of God
and become heavenly world
such as the Bible foreshadows
by merely drifting it requires
DELIBERATE effort un the part of
men who have definitely yielded
themselves To God for this pur.
pose. The Bible challenges all
men To join in great concerned
effort to uctuaIlze in the sublime
ideals of love, which it sets
forth 1t challenges us; "On
whose side are yOuy" il cries
"On the side of hatred and chaos
and the old blind stupiditieS or
on the side of God, of love, of
beauty and joy of the Lord
Christi" 1t is more than just
believing in Christ and wanting
to be good. The Bible and
through the Bible our Lord
Jesus Christ is not satisfied with
that. We are challenged to a
very different attitude. This is
to be the great mission of our
lives to set ourselves definitely,
intelligently and purPosely to
discover how we can live to make
the great revelations in the Bible
the actual staff of life. We have
the shaping Of that bit of the
world we call our life | wonder
what we shall make of ity But
there is something before any
successful effort on our part,
and that is an inward change,
this renewing of the mind, this
believing ON Christ. 1t is not
enough to recognize and welcome
this wonderful vision of God set
forth in the Bible. We need,
ourselves, to be personally in
touch with God in our hearts.
We need to wait upon the Lord,
to pray to God, TO seek Him
earnestly until at last-or il may
be very soon-the great fact of
God shalt burst upon us with
power and we shall no longer
accept God on heresay, even on
the heresay of the apostles, but
shall experience Him for our
selves; be assured this is pos
sible. If you do not yet know
God for yourself, seek after Him,
watch for Him, give yourself to
constant and diligent prayer,
and He will come; the Eternal
Christ will reveal Himself to you
also

work of raising the necessary money.
There are seven republicans, seven
democrats and seven members of the
Chicago Association Of Commerce on
the committee to make It a wholly
non-partisan project. It is agreed that
only one.half Of the money subscribed
will be collected in the event that
Chicago gets only one of the big
conventions.
