The depafAturefo Rev. John W.
Smith, of theV Methodist Church,
South, for %aider.held removes one
of the real forces for righteousness
and good government in Roswell Mr.
Smith was stpt here from Dallas
nearly three years ago to adjust GER
tain difficulties. and misunderstand-
ings in thS Church. This he accom-
plished within = few months, but ik-
ing the town ahd the people, and hav-
ing endeared himself to the congre-
gatfun.o Of the church he has been in
duced to remain much longer than
was intended. All unpleasantness in
the church has been long since for
gotten, and for two years it has been
attended by larger congregations than
ever before attended any church in
Roswell The old debts which hung
over the church have been almost Ii
quidated, and more than $4,000 rails
ed and applied in improvement OF
the property. For all purposes more
than sixteen thousand dollars have
been raised by this church during the
pastorate OF Mr.. Smith.
About IT'S members have been add
ed to the church, and the services
are uniformly well attended, many
leading non-church geers and busi-
ness men having fallen into the hab-
1t of going to hear what Mr.. Smith
has to say. Not only in the church,
however, is Mr.. Smith an eloquent
speaker, but in political movements,
Commercial Club gatherings, or any
where that the progress of the town
feady and able to do his share as
good citizen. If the truth were fully
known there is no doubt that it
would be found that the presence of
Roswell has been help to the courts
and the police in suppressing lawless-
ness. Much of his work has been done
among men, and he knows their lit
tie tricks, deceptions, weaknesses
and hypocrisies well enough to reach
them without clash and to convince
them that he has a real interest in
their earthly welfare as well as in
the salvation of their souls. In brief,
he possesses a fund of common sense
along with his learning and eIoquence.
Treating the matter somewhat light
ly, Mr.. Smith has been heard to re-

mark that ministers often waste too
much time looking after the women
Of their congregation, and "let the
men go to the devil There is not
much use worrying about the women.
The wives and good mothers of the
church are the truest helpers of the
minister, and when the minister man
and sons of these women he need
not fear any lack of loyalty on the
part of the women.
At the reception rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith last Friday evening all
the pastors OF the city were present
and expressed their friendship and
joy in fraternity with Mr.. Smith as
laborer in the vineyard.
To say that Mr. Smith has not an
enemy in the town would probably
be untrue; but if he has there is lit
tie doubt that it is due to misunder-
standing of the man and his motives.
However, it certainly can be said
that his wife is beloved by everybody
who knows her, both in and out OF
the church. She is a quiet home wo-
man, who never pushes herself in
anywhere in an officious manner. She
is content with a very modest func
ton in the affairs of the church, and
is never a hindrance in the affairs
of the church. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
have one boy, Charles who has just
entered the High School, and to say
That he is one of the most genlemanly
boys of his age in Roswell is suffi-
cient proof of the happy home life
of the Smith family
The call to Jefferson City, Mo-, is
an episcopal appointment and was
not sought by Mr.. Smith. He had be-
come so attached to the people OF
Roswell, that he hated to go, but
When the bishop insisted that he go
to Jefferson City he felt that there
was some selfishness in desiring to
remain here, and that it was his duty
to accept the call. The Roswell church
board almost refused to listen to
the tender of his resignation; but
there are certain rules in the govern
ment of the Methodist church which
must be obeyed, and so Roswell must
give up a good citizen and cultured
family, as well as a minister who
has for three years been real factor
in the progress of the community.
