AMONG THE CHURCHES

Ideal location, beautiful and unique construction, convenient and comfortable appointments, fittingly describes the salient features of the new church home of the Christian Scientists on Lincoln Street, Foxcroft. The doors of this building were thrown open to the public Sunday morning [Oct. 25] and a large number of townspeople were present at the initial service in the new church.

For some time the accommodations of the Christian Scientists of these towns have not been adequate to their needs, and early in the spring it was unanimously voted at a meeting of the church to take definite steps for the erection of a church home. After consideration of various plans, the specifications submitted by a local architect were approved by the building committee and contracts made with the several trades for the erection of a church building. The Christian Scientists were most fortunate in securing for their building a plot of land on one of the main thoroughfares, centrally located and possessing all of the natural advantages of an ideal church lot. The Christian Science church is distinetly Grecian in its architecture.

The auditorium at the present time has a maximum seating capacity of one hundred and sixty, but it is so arranged that the large folding doors at the rear which give access to the Reading Room and foyer can be thrown open, thus offering accommodations for two hundred or more persons.—The Piscataquis Observer.
