Tulpehocken.—June 15 a Children's Meeting was held by the Sundayschool at the Heidelberg meetinghouse. Bro. Harry Nye, of Elizabethtown, gave an address. Our regular council convened in the Myerstown house on Saturday afternoon, with Eld. John Herr presiding. One certificate was presented and one granted. Eld. John C. Zug expects to be with us for a series of meetings at the Tulpehocken house, beginning Nov. 29. It was decided to divide our congregation into three parts: Myerstown and Royer's meetinghouses are to comprise the first part, with 153 members; Millbach and Richland, with 170 members will be the second part, and Heidelberg, with 120 members, the third part. A special meeting for the organization of each part was arranged for. The Richland Sunday-school will have a Children's Meeting August 17. Eld. Rulus Bucher will deliver the address.—H. F.
