Among the Churches

with contributions from Annie F. Baker, I. C. Tomlinson, Sappho E. Prentiss, Theodore R. Hinsdale, Whittier

A large audience attended the service opening First Church of Christ, Scientist, to public worship yesterday morning (Sunday, June 2). Every seat in the auditorium was taken and space in the rear was filled in with extra chairs, which were all occupied before the service began. The doors were thrown open an hour before eleven o'clock, and many en route to other churches paused in curiosity to take a glance into the cheery interior, showing the deep interest taken in the opening of this new church, a church whose rapid growth and successful completion marks an advance in Christian Science thought in Tacoma which those not directly interested had scarcely conceived.

It is a beautiful church; not imposing or stately or representing much of financial outlay, but attractive, graceful in design, and in its interior arrangement and decoration beautifully simple and artistic.

It is not a large church. The auditorium will seat but three or four hundred, but it is ample for present purposes and may easily be adapted to larger needs when the growth of the church makes enlargement imperative.
