Reed, clerk; Sister Nettie Weimer, treasurer; Bro. Otis Weimer and sister Margaret Maxey, solicitors: Bro. Lee Maxey, messenger agent; the writer, church correspondent.  Our congregation will be know as “Sunshine.” We anticipate building a suitable house of worship in the near future. We now have membership of fifteen, with one elder, one minister in the first degree and two deacons.  On Saturday evening, after the organization was completed, we held a love feast. There were thirteen communicants.  Bro. W. P. Bosserman officiated. On Sunday we had Sunday school, after which Bro. Bosserman delivered an impressive sermon, taking for his subject, “Where Am I?” taken from the first Psalm and Matt. 12: 30. - Miriam Maxey, Yeso, New Mexico, May 18
