ORGANIZED.

By R. F. Cottrell

A PORTION of the churches in Western New York have organized in accordance with the recommendation of the Battle Creek Conference. At Olcott a commencement was made with seventeen members, at Somerset with ten, and at Mill Grove with eighteen. The number of each of these will probably soon be increased. Some were absent at the time of organizing that will offer themselves when they have opportunity, and a few were undecided. No one, however, has opposed the measure. I have also learned that a church has been organized at Eagle Harbor, under Bro. Saunder's administration, but I am not prepared to give the number.

There remain to be organized two churches; one at Lyndonville, and one in Monroe Co., composed of the brethren at Clarkson, Parma, and Rochester. These I presume will be ready to organize at the first opportunity.

May the church soon come into unity and order, and be disciplined and prepared for the great work before us. R. F. COTTRELL.
