Payette Valley church met in council Aug. 30, at the Fruitland house, to consider a division of the territory into two congregations, which was unanimously decided upon. The territory in and about Payette will retain the name Payette Valley, while that in and about Fruitland, extending as far as Emmett, will form the new congregation to be known as Fruitland.  Bro. David Metzler, of Nappance, Ind., was secured as pastor of Payette Valley church, and is here. Bro. Hershel Shank continues his efficient services for the Fruitland church. Both congregations have had councils since, and fully organized their work. Will al full corps of officers and the spirit of harmony, cooperation and enthusiasm that exists, we believe that result will be more and better work. With the new church house at Emmett, and the zealous, though small, band of members, the prospects are splendid for another organization there, some time in the near future. – Mrs. L. H. Eby, Fruitland, Idaho. Sept. 21.
