Red River Valley Church, N. Dak. – The members of this place met Sept. 7, to effect a church organization.  Eld. J. H. Sellers, of Bourbon, Ind., presided. The writer was elected Secretary for the church.  We have three ministers and two deacons.  There are thirty-nine members in the District, scattered over considerable territory.  We had two successful Sunday schools running in the Saturday evening, Nov. 2, which was truly a feast to the soul, although there were not so many members present as we were used to seeing in the East.  It was one of the most enjoyable meetings we ever attended. Bro. Amos Peters, of Cando, officiated, he being the only visiting minister present. – D. W. Wolf, Mayville, N. Dak., Nov. 15
