Howard Danner, gave the address. July 11 a council was held, with Eld. D. Y. Brillhart presiding.  It was unanimously decided to divide the congregation, which, as it is, covers a large territory.  We thought that under the new plan more work for the Master could and would be done.  Aug. 15 a council meeting was held at the Fairview house, which the lines and other matters, concerning the division, were agreed on.  We had with the following committee from the District: Elders E. S. Miller, C. L. Baker and Daniel Bowser, Eld. D. Y.
