Eastern Pennsylvania

By W. H. Heckman

SABBATH, August 28, was a special occasion for the brethren and sisters at Souderton, where I organized a church of twenty-seven members. About fifty were present, including Brother and Sister Freed, of Allentown.
A number of the charter members of this new organization were formerly members of the First and North Philadelphia churches, who, with brethren and sisters holding membership elsewhere, settled from time to time in the vicinity of Souderton. This new member of our conference will be known as the Fairhill church, which is beautifully situated, overlooking a number of thriving towns a few miles distant. The brethren are building a plain but neat meeting-house twenty-five by forty-five feet.
In building the church, provision will be made for the church-school, which is enjoying a successful second year under the able direction of its first teacher, Miss Anna Worrall. There are twenty-two pupils in attendance this term.
The following officers were elected: Elder, Irvin Fisher; deacons, H. Gerhart and H. Zearfoss; treasurer, H. J. Sterner; clerk, T. W. Webb; librarian, G. W. Hollman.
The possibilities for the material and spiritual growth of the Fairhill church are many and favorable, and I am glad to say that the brethren are conducting successful Sunday evening meetings. Pray for them. W. H. HECKMAN.
