Everett, Pa.—The members of this district met in special council to more thoroughly organize ourselves, having been recently separated from the Hopewell District, an account of which was published in Gospel Messenger No. 4G. We elected Bro. L. D. Rouser, treasurer, and the writer, clerk. We have a membership of about ninety, mostly living in and around Everett. Nearly half of our members have been added during the past year. While our district is not large, we have room for much work. We have one preacher, Eld. D. S. Clapper (a tireless worker), and one deacon. We expect to hold an election soon, for more deacons and a preacher. We would gladly welcome any minister who would like to move among ns. Everett is a busy town of two thousand inhabitants and is building up rapidly. We have one meeting-house, called Fair View, also a private house in Everett, for holding meetings. We have preaching in Everett every Sunday; also Sunday school, with Bible class and singing through the week. We want to build a meeting-house in Everett in the near future. Our first quarterly council will be held at the Fair View church, Jan. 6, 1894.—.A. F. Simmons, Dec 16.
