Georgetown.—A called council of the Ludlow and Salem churches was held at the house in Potsdam Dec. 15, in order to perfect a new organization at this place. The reports were accepted and we were set apart as a separate congregation. Eld. Samuel Snell opened this meeting with appropriate remarks and Eld. Newton Binkley presided. We organized our new congregation Dec. 22 under the direction of Eld, Newton Binkley. Elders Wm. Minnich, A. Bucklew, Edw. Miller, S. A. Blessing, Enos Brumbaugh and G. W. Minnich were present also, Our' organization will now be known as the Georgetown congregation. Officers recently elected were retained: Sylvan Bookwaiter, elder; Harry Delk, church clerk; Jennie Eikenberry, " Messenger " agent. Auditing, finance, missionary and temperance committees were elected. Our house will be arranged for communion services in the near future. Our young people gave a Christmas program Sunday evening after which Bro. Walter J. Hersey gave a very interesting talk on China.—Mary Weisenbarger, Laura, Ohio, Dec. 25.
