Shade Creek church met in council Feb. 10. At this council it was reported by the committee, appointed at the previous council, that by a strong majority vote the members think it better to divide the congregation, forming two congregations because of the large territory to be covered. The new congregations will hold their respective preliminary councils in the Berkey house Feb. 24, and in the Scalp Level house March 2, When each will organize. We held our Missionary and Christian Workers' Convention in the Rummel house on Sunday afternoon and evening. Feb. 18. The Missionary Meeting rendered a temperance program which aroused much enthusiasm. Much spiritual help is gained at these Christian Workers conventions for the benefit of our several Christian Workers Meetings.—J. H. Lehman. Scalp Level, Pa.. Feb. 21.
