Hunters around the state are
cleaning their guns in preparation
for deer season, which opens Nov.
14 in most Texas counties. An esti
mated 1 million hunters are ex
pected to hunt deer in Texas this
season.
Texas has a deer population of
about 3 million and an average
annual harvest of 10 percent, said
Paul Hope, information specialist
with the Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department in Austin.
According to Dr. Dwight
Guynn, a Texas Agricultural Ex
tension Service wildlife specialist,
good forage and weather condi
tions this year should result in
more and better quality deer.
Hope said that although the
annual harvest is 10 percent, some
areas could benefit from 25 per
cent.
“We recommend that 20-25
percent of the deer population be
harvested annually just to com
pensate for reproduction and keep
the population from increasing
beyond the food supply,” Guynn,
said.
Fifty percent of Texas’ deer are
found in the Texas Hill Country,
Hope said. This area, west of the
Balcones Fault, contains about
100 counties.
Most Texas hunting is under the
lease system, in which a hunter
leases a piece of land from an indi
vidual land owner, while the price
and size of the leases vary. Leases
are difficult to acquire; once a hun
ter obtains one, he tends to hold
on to it, Janelle Lewis of the Texas
Parks & Wildlife Department in
Bryan said.
Hunting licences can be purch
ased at most sporting goods stores
and local Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department offices. A resident
hunting license is required of
Texas citizens hunting anywhere
in the state, with the following ex
ceptions: persons under the age of
17 or over 65, persons hunting on
land where they reside and certain
disabled veterans. A resident
hunting license costs $5.25.
A resident exempt hunting
license, with persons named
above as exceptions, costs $1.25,
while a combination hunting and
fishing license costs $8.75. Non
resident hunters must pay
$100.75 for a license valid for all
Texas game species.
In addition to regulations for
obtaining hunting licenses, hun
ters must follow safety rules while
hunting. Included in the Texas
Parks & Wildlife Department’s 10

Aggies picked up one point to give
them seven for the conference
season. Each team has two confer
ence matches remaining, with
SMU playing the University of
Arkansas and Baylor University,
and Texas A&M finishing the con
ference schedule against Baylor
and Rice University.
SWCSL regulations state that if
two teams finish the two 45-
minute halves in a tie, no over
times are played. However, be
cause of NCAA rules, the Aggies
and Mustangs had to play two
overtimes to complete the match.
So even though SMU scored two
goals in the second overtime to
win’ 3-1, the match goes on the
teams’ SWCSL records as a tie.
Franco said the Aggies played
well against the Mustangs, who
have for the past few years been
the finest team in the SWCSL.
“It was an excellent demonstra
tion of soccer, ” Franco said. “My
personal satisfaction was to see the
game so well-played. Our players
showed tremendous spirit and dis

you need to play successful team
sports.”

THE RICHES OF CHRIST
HIS INCARNATION
The riches of Christ are without measure. Although we
may, through faith, come into an initial saving knowledge
of Christ, to know this marvelous Person in all His breadth
and length and height and depth takes eternity. Even near
the end of a lifetime of spiritual pursuit, the heart-cry of
Paul was still,”. . . that I may know Him.” May the Lord
grant us such a spirit, never content with our present
knowledge and experience of Christ.
The first item for our consideration is the incarnation of
Christ. Although most Christians are familiar with the facts
surrounding the Lord’s birth — the star, the shepherds, the
wise men, the manger — many lack a deep appreciation for
the significance of this glorious event.
God Revealed to Man
What is the significance of Christ in His incarnation, His
becoming flesh? It is, first of all, that through incarnation
He reveals God.
Before Bethlehem, the evidence of God’s existence was
there, both in creation and in His speaking to man in the
Old Testament. Nevertheless, a full revelation of this
Creator was yet to come. Although man was created by God
and in many ways desired God, God was, for the most part;
an unknown God. The book of Job declares, “Canst thou by
seeking find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty
unto perfection?” In another place — “Behold, God is
great, and we know Him not.” And elsewhere — “Touching
the Almighty, we cannot find Him out.” Between God and
man, there was a great gulf, as wide as the heaven is from
the earth, a chasm which no man through religion, self
effort, or self-perfection could bridge. God was beyond
reach, inaccessible, and unapproachable, a mystery.
Yes, God is hidden, unseen, and invisible. Yet one day it
pleased this mysterious God to make Himself known. While
we could never reach up to God, He took the initiative
instead to reach down to us. Instead of requiring us to
ascend to Him, He descended, rather, even condescended,
to become one like us. “In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . and the
Word became flesh.”
Through a marvelous process called incarnation, the God
who dwells in unapproachable light became accessible and
approachable in the Person of Jesus Christ. The mystery
was unveiled. God became a man, a real man, a man like us
in every way within and without, yet without sin. He be
came, like the children of men, a partaker of flesh and
blood — not an angel, or a superman, but a genuine man.
Yet, at the same time, He was not one bit less than the very
God. Thus this one Person became the intersection, the
meeting place, of God and man, the ladder that joins
heaven and earth. In Him, man beholds God, and lives.
Wesley’s well-known hymn says, “Veiled in flesh the
Godhead see, hail th’incarnate Deity!” Surely this is glad
tidings of great joy!
God Brought Into Men
But not only does Christ reveal God to man, He also
brings God into man. In Him, God is one with man, and the
divine nature is brought into oneness with the human
nature. He is the fine flour mingled with oil, the perfect
blend of divinity with humanity. In Him, man is no longer
severed from God, but is brought into a marvelous organic
union with Him. Spurgeon said it well when he wrote, “Do
not confound the natures that were united in Him, nor
divide the Person in whom they were so marvelously
blended.”
As the uniting of God and man, H,e makes all the riches
of the Godhead available to us. Horatfus Bonar said, “All
that life can mean or embody is deposited in Him, per
sonified in Him, dispensed by Him. All that God calls life is
in Him.” All the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in
Him, and we in Him are made full. In Him, the eternal life
of God was manifest, and He came to give us that life
abundantly. His incarnation was the first step of His gra
cious process to bring God as life into man. He is the living
bread which, through incarnation, came down from
heaven. He is the living bread which, on the cross, was
broken for us. He is the living bread which, in resurrection,
we may take and eat and live forever.
God indeed is a mystery, but the greater mystery is that
He would be revealed through incarnation. Spurgeon said,
“It maybe that we shall never fully understand how God
and man could be united in one Person, for who by search
ing can find out god? These great mysteries of godliness,
these ‘deep things of God,’ are beyond our measurement.”
Indeed, Christ’s incarnation is a great mystery, but it is
also the beginning of our gospel, a mystery of the faith that
we must hold in a pure conscience and proclaim with all
boldness to all men. His incarnation is the first step of His
redemptive work, and it is also the first step of His life-
giving process. Through incarnation He not only reveals
God to man, but also brings God into man. He partook of
the human nature, that we might be made partakers of the
divine (2 Pet. 1:4). Can we ever exhaust the riches of such a
Christ? We can only declare with Paul, “. . . without con
troversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manif
est in the flesh” (1 Tim. 3:16).

structions, and not mixing gun
powder with alcohol.
Limits also govern the number
of deer that hunters can take
home. Brazos County hunters can
shoot three deer, with a limit of
one buck. For most counties, legal
bucks are defined by the Texas
Hunting Guide as deer with a har
dened antler protruding through
the skin. In Brazos County, spe
cial permits must be obtained to
shoot antlerless deer.
According to the Texas Hunting
Guide, it is illegal to use a jet gun,
rocket gun or any firearm using
rimfire ammunition when hunting
deer.
Hunting violations are misde
meanors and handled by Justice of
the Peace courts. Lewis said that a
judge sets the fine, which ranges
from $25-$200.
