Seed Station and Farm

j. NJ. Rozzell. who recently
moved to Clovis from Chilicothe,
Texas. contemplates putting in
a government seed station and
experiment farm at this place.
Mr. Rozzell is an experienced
scotsman and feels that he will
be able to make a great success
with the undertaking. He has
a number of varieties of seed
that he will test out and his ex-
periments should prove of much
value to farmers of this section.
The man who can make tive
blades of grass grow where only
one grew before, is a real bene-
factor. This, as we understand
it. is somewhat of the character
of the work Mr.. Rozzell will
undertake in our midst.

The above is a fairly good like
ness of Clark w. Lambert, min.
lister of the Christian church OF
this city. We use the WORD
fairly" Advisedly, for t h G
above picture does not do this
man of God justice. 1t makes
him appear bit too boyish,
whereas he is every inch a man,
in brain, brawn, muscle, heart,
soul and avoirdupois. He stands
six feet two in his sock feet, and
be it known unto all the people
that this minister has worn
socks mostly continuously since
the good New Year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and sixteen
made its advent, for it was about
this time that the members of
his congregation pounced down
upon him with a most unmerci-
ful pounding. Among the ar
ticles hurled at him were four
teen, more or less. pairs of socks.
Minister Lambert is long and
stalwart in body. heart, soul and
mind. He is careful, prudent.
determined; a plodder who gets
there; a dreamer who forces his
dreams to come true; a man who
plans his work. then works his
plans: a man of courage in
domitable and faith sublime.
The impossible tasks are the
one he delights TO tackle. As
evidence of this see the costly
church edifice just completed in
this city.
Clark w. Lambert was born
amidst the hills of Arkansas.
educated in the Blue Grass Sec
tion of Kentucky. and is doing
his most wonderful work on the
sunkissed plains of New Mexico.
He is a man among men. a
prince. a sun-crowned Christian
gentleman. D

CLOVIS SALOONS TO CLOSE

this end each one should vie wita

Sunday, February b. 1916 VIII
be remembered by the members
of the Christian church of Clovis
so long as memory sets on her
throne. 1t was really, truely a
great day. a high day, a red
letter day. not only for the
members of that church but for
the whole of Clovis. The day
was ideal as to weather con-
ditions. Just warm enough to
be comfortable and cool enough
to be invigoratinR.
The services of the day began
promptly at 9:45 a. m. with a
rousing good Sunday-school.
This was a fitting prelude to the
great services that were to fol-
low, and did follow, joyously,
harmoniously. without hitch.
At IL a. m. Evangelist Arthur
W. Jones preached a soul-grip-
ping and soul. stirring sermon on
Why be a Christian. " At the
conclusion of the sermon seven
united with the church. Evan
geIist Jones then called for
money to finish paying for the
church edilice, and in a short
time about ST., 900 was subscrib-
ed.
A lunch was served in the
large basement of the building
at the noon hour to host of
members and friends in and out
of the city.
At 3 p. m. the communion and
a great social service was held.
This proved to be one of the
happy events Of the day, Those
present were given an oppor
tunity to express their senti-
ments with regard TO the big
new church building and the
work in general. Many and
henrtening were the addresses
by both the members and friends
present.
A large number of extra seats
were pressed into use for the
evening service. Even the
standing room was at a pre-.
MUM. IL is estimated that be-
tween 500 and 800 people were
present. Evangelist Jones de- /
livered a splendid sermon on
Why we build this Church.
Five more united with the |
church. A call was again made !
for more money with which to
finish paying for the building. |
The necessary amount was !
quickly raised and arranged for.
After which the dedicatory SER
vice proper followed. This was
a splendid elimination to all the
excellent services of this never
to. forgotten day. The dedi-
catory vows were read by the
congregation, Pastor Clark w.

Moore, pastor of the Presby-
terian church, offered a felvent

of the Methodist church spoke.
in the most happy Christian
spirit, words of greeting for his
and other churches of the city.
Rev. Milton Reese. of the Bap-
tist church led the opening
prayer of the evening. All the
churches of Clovis dismissed
their evening services for the
occasion and it was truly a mag
nificent audience of men and
women, boys and girls. who. for
the most part, were reaching
out after those things that make
for real manhood and woman
