Monday DR.. GaSS was Joined by
Rev's Juo. Mordy of Albuquer-
que and II. M. Perkins OF Socor-
TO, and a service was held that
evening. After a helpful and
appreciated sermon by Rev.
Perkins. the Presbyterian church
of Magdalena was organized
with nineteen members from the
best and most substantial citi-
zens of Magdaleua, Kelly. aud
surrounding community. MesSrS.
Crabb and Pender were elected
Ruling Elders, and will be or
dained and installed as such in
tine near future. Messrs. Mac
lavish, Redemen, Totman, Gregg,
and FoSS were elected Trustees,
and at once organized by the
election of Mr.. J. S. Mactavish as
president and Mr.. Foss as sec
retary and treasurer. Seven
hundred dollars on pastors sal
AIRY was readily subscribed and
agreement made to supply a
house free of rent for pastors
residence. Petition to the board
of Home Missions for an addi-
tional two hundred dollars on
salary was made. No doubt
this will be granted, which will
enable the church to have pas
tor for all of his time at these
two places. Request has been
made to Rio Grande Presbytery
to this effect and it is thought
an efficient pastor will be secured
at an early date. The people
are greatly encouraged and en-
Unused at the success of the
work so far, and the prospects
of greater things in the future.
Already there is talk of begin
ming the erection of a nice house
of worship, possibly OF brick, in
the near future.
