THE PRESBYTERIAN CHI
The Annual Meeting Held Last Night
at the Church Building.

The annual meeting of the mem
bers of the Presbyterian church
was held last night at the church
and there was large attendance.
and the meeting was very enthus-
iastic one. DR.. C. E. Lukens, the pas
tor, made a short address and the
different committees made their re-
ports. The present entire board of
trustees were reelected and S. W.
Gilbert was reelected as an elder,
his term having expired. After the
business was transacted refresh
ments were served.
Dr. Charles E. Lukens entered
upon his duties as pastor of the
church April l, 1901, and since he
took charge. the growth of the church
has been remarkable. At that time
there were about 60 members, now
there are 237 resident members.
The Roswell Presbyterian church
is now second in size in the synod
of New Mexico, which includes New
Mexico and Arizona, being surpassed
only by the Phoenix church, and if
the church here keeps up it's present
rapid and substantial growth it will
soon be in the lead as it is now far
ahead of Santa Fe. Las Vegas and
Albuquerque in numerical strength
TWenty-One new members were re-
ceived into the church last Sunday
by letter and on confession of faith,
and eighty-fve the past year, forty
nine by letter and thirty-six by con-
fession of faith. Ten were dismissed
by letter, and six were called up to
a higher realm of usefulness

Change Of Ar.

The quasi miraculous benefits which
are associated with change Of air in the
popular belief are In reality derived
when they accrue from change of en-
vironment, qua change OF habits OF
life. In a great many instances the
measure of benefit obtainable would be
as effectually secured, and at much
less expense, by mere change OF habits,
without the fatigue and Inconvenience
OF change Of domlcile. The over
wrought city clerk might advantageous

On the ceiling Of one of the rooms in
Sans Soucl, the world renowned palace
OF Frederick the Great In Prussia, is
the painting of huge spider with its
web The reason for this odd decora-
ton is that one morning Just as the
king was about to drink his usual
morning cup Of chocolate in this room
he turned aside for something. and
when, a moment later, he took up the
cup he noticed a small spider had
fallen into IT. Immediately upon Civ
ing an order for a fresh cup a pistol
report was heard, and It was dlscov-
cred that the cook had shot himself.
The reason for this, it was later found
out. was that he had poisoned the
chocolate. and Of course when a fresh
cup was ordered he supposed his
treachery had been discovered. 1t was
IN remembrance OF this narrow escape
that Frederick ordered a spiders web
to be painted on the ceiling.
