AMONG THE CHURCHES

The corner-stone of the new edifice for First Church of Christ, Scientist, San Diego, Cal., was laid with appropriate services at sunrise, Monday, Oct. 25, in the presence of the Readers, the official board of directors, the building committee, and the clerk of the church. In the hush of the early morning hour, the kingdom of heaven seemed very near to those who listened to the words which were read from the Bible and the works of our beloved Leader. The dawn of Truth, as revealed by the light of Christian Science, had brought to consciousness a clearer, truer understanding of God and man, which understanding unfolds to view the true church, "the structure of Truth and Love" (Science and Health, p. 583), the corner-stone of which is Christ, Truth. This church edifice will stand in this community a monument of gratitude to God, and to the Discoverer of Christian Science. The new church building will occupy a quarter block, the auditorium measuring 66 x 96 feet, and will have a seating capacity of about one thousand. The approximate cost, exclusive of the pipeorgan, will be about fifty thousand dollars. It is hoped to have the building ready for occupancy early in the spring.
