 Irricana church met in yearly council, Brethren Culp and Weddle being present. The request for a separate considered for the works in and around the village was duly considered and granted. The dividing line was agreed upon as well as other conditions. Dec. 14 we met with Brethren Weddle and Culp and effected the organization which is now known as the Second Church of Irricana. We request that all correspondence intended for the new congregation be addressed accordingly. The elder in charge is E. Wagoner; foreman, I. M. McCune; clerk, Chas. Carnegy, correspondent, the writer. Having no churchhouse of our own, and the one we now occupy being very inadequate, we are thinking seriously of providing better accommodations. Last night we enjoyed a rousing watch meeting in which the children took a prominent part. After light refreshments and a program of recitation, reading and miscellaneous exercise the watch meeting began with singing, scripture and prayer closing at midnight. – G. C.
