 Denton. – The Ridgley Congregation was recently divided into two parts. We, the new part, separated from the main body, met Oct. 24 to organize.  Bro. Samuel Utz, of New Market, W. Md., was moderator.  We will be known as the Denton congregation.  Eld. G. S. Rairigh was chosen elder in charge by a unanimous vote. We also organized a Sunday school, with Bro. Solomon Longenecker as superintendent. The need of a churchhouse was felt, and solicitors were appointed to secure funds for the same. Our membership numbers about seventy, including two elders, one minister and four deacons. Several families from Ohio will located among us in the near future, one brother being a minister. – Edna Pentz, Tuckahoe, Md., Oct. 27
