Belle Vernon.—The mission, established here less than a year ago. bids fair for continued growth, as indicated by a recent action taken. Pursuant to a petition, granted by our late District Conference, Bro. E. M. Detwiler, of Johnstown, Pa., came to the Mission June 22 and, assisted by the writer, effected an organization. We are henceforth to be known as the Belle Vernon congregation. There are twenty-six charter members. Officers were elected as follows: Bro. E. M. Detwiler, elder; Bro. Wallace T. Kyle, church clerk; Sister Susie C. Anthony, " Messenger " agent and correspondent. Brethren M. M. Kyle and D. A. Rummel are our deacons. They, with the writer, constitute our Trustee Board. Two regular council meetings will be held yearly, and our first regular love feast will be held some time during the autumn.—F. D. Anthony, Belle Vernon, Pa.
