Onekama. – The members of Onekama met at the home of Bro. Clarence Whitehouse on Monday afternoon, June 14 for organization.  Elders J. M. Lair and G. E. Deardorff were present.  The organization is to be known as the “Church of the Brethren of Onekama.”  Bro. F. M. Buckingham was chosen as clerk and treasurer.  Bro. G. E. Deardorff was chosen elder for six months.  Brethren F. M. Buckingham and Roy Whitehouse were chosen and installed as deacons.  Molly Sadler, Clarence Whitehouse and Alta Reynolds were chosen as trustees. The writer was chosen as correspondent and literature agent.  We are anxiously looking forward to the time when we can worship in our own church home.  A few hundred dollars are still needed for our building fund, but we hope that ere long the desired amount may be pledged.  We feel very grateful to those who have thus far volunteered their help.  We expect to have Bro. W. R. Miller, of Chicago, with us for ten days, beginning July 1, to give us lectures of his trip abroad. – Alma Wise, Onekama, Mich., June 15.
