AMONG THE CHURCHES

CHICAGO, ILL.

Under the auspices of the ten Churches of Christ, Scientist, a free reading and writing tent, seventy-five feet long and thirty-five feet wide, has been fitted up for the accommodation of the soldiers and visitors who are attending the national military tournament at Grant park, Chicago, this week. We clip as follows from a letter recently received:—

"I am availing myself of the opportunity of writing the first letter written in the Christian Science reading-tent, erected in Grant park, on our lake front, as a reading-room where all our literature may be read, and where visitors may obtain, without money and without price, copies of our periodicals. The committee has provided the best of everything, including the stationery for free public use."

The ground at the northeast corner of Fortieth and Walnut streets has been purchased by First Church of Christ, Scientist,A correction was made in the August 5, 1911 Sentinel: "We have been asked by Third Church of Christ, Scientist, Kansas City, Mo., to correct two erroneous statements in the item from the Kansas City Times in the Sentinel for July 29. The lot was not purchased by First Church, as stated, but by Third Church; also, that no plans will be considered until the lot is paid for." and a new church, to be known as Third Church of Christ, Scientist, will be built there. The lot is one hundred and fifty-six feet on Walnut street and one hundred and fifteen feet on Fortieth street. It was purchased from the Kansas City Athenæum. The members of the Athenæum purchased the lot with the purpose of building a clubhouse there, but they decided that it was too far south.

Plans for the new church have not yet been drawn. The church which is to be built for the Scientists, who are now meeting in Morton's Hall at Fortieth and Main streets, will not, however, be as expensive or as large as either the First or the Second Christian Science edifice. It will face south and will be built along modern lines. Definite plans will be finished by the first of next year.

The contract for the completion of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Twelfth and L streets, was awarded to an Omaha firm at a meeting of the church which was held Thursday evening [July 6]. Work will begin within a few weeks. The contract calls for an expenditure of at least $54,400, and the plans accepted from architects about four years ago will be used, without any material change.
