Clerk Pro Tem - Rev. M. L. Bullard

On January 11, 1913, at Roswell, N. Mex., a new presbytery for the Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized. The new presbytery includes all of New Mexico and that part of Texas west of a line running due south from the southeast corner of New Mexico to the Pecos River; thence down said river to its confluence with the Rio Grande.

There are six ministers and three congregations within the bounds of said presbytery.

Licentiate Noah Webb was ordained to the full work of the gospel ministry. Deeming it unadvisable to transact further business, on motion the presbytery adjourned with prayer to meet with the Roswell congregation May 2, 1913, at 8 p.m.
             M. L. BULLARD, Clerk Pro Tem.
