Corinne. – The Bear River Valley church was organized to-day with eighteen members. The first council meeting was held at the residence of the Officiating elder, D. S. Filbrun. Letters were presented and read. It was unanimously agreed to organize. The officers were duly elected as follows: Bro. I. J. Filbrun clerk, Bro. Samuel Yoder, Jr., church solicitor, Sister D. S. Filbrun treasurer, Sister May Yoder corresponding secretary. Our official board consists of one minister, Eld. D. S. Filbrun, and one deacon, Bro. A. S. Yoder. We feel the great responsibility resting on us. Brethren, pray that God’s blessings may rest on this little organization in the State of Utah, this being the first Brethren church in this State. – May Yoder, Jan. 18.
