Chewelah. – Bro. D. M. Click of the Tekoa, Wash., came to Chewelah, Sept. 8, and organized us into a church.  We elected two to the deacon’s office, Brethren J. H. Metcalf and Isaac Teeter.  We also elected Bro. Amos Peters, of Wenatchee Wash., as our elder.  We have two ministers, Bro. John Streeter and Bro. Sherman Clapper.  The name of our church is Mount Hope.  We held a love feast Sept. 8, with fourteen surrounding the Lords’ table.  Bro. Click preached two sermons, on eon Sunday morning after Sunday school and one Sunday evening after Christian Workers’ meeting.  In the evening two precious souls came out on the Lords’ side, and were buried in baptism Monday. – Mary C. Hixson, Chewelah, Wash., Sept. 15.

Tekoa.—Sept. 27 we met in council, Eld. D. M. Click presiding. As Bro. Click expects soon to start on his trip around the world, he appointed Bro. J. H. Stover to act as housekeeper in his absence.  He expects to be gone about a year. The Spokane congregation being so large and so scattered, it was thought best to divide, so the part at Chewelah was cut off and is now called Mount Hope.  Seven certificates of membership were given at this council to members living in the new congregation and five given to members moving to other parts of the country, Bro. R. F. Hiner was elected to the ministry and Bro. G. S. Gale to the deacon's office. There seems to be a growing interest manifested in all our services. Our elder preached a very interesting sermon to the children Sunday night, Sept. 30. We are expecting to have a series of meetings in the near future, conducted by Bro. Graybill, of Nampa, Idaho.—Jennie K. Hale, Tekoa, Wash., Oct. 3.
