AMONG THE CHURCHES

The new building of First Church of Christ, Scientist, at Meridian and Twentieth streets, will be formally opened on Easter Sunday [April 7]. The interior will have been completed by that time and all will be in readiness for continuous occupancy by the congregation.

The new building, which is of vitrified brick and Bedford stone, was built at a cost of seventy-five thousand dollars, which sum includes the furnishings and sanitary and heating equipment. There are two auditoriums, the Sunday school occupying the lower floor, the general congregation the upper. The congregational auditorium is finished in mahogany and amber and will seat seven hundred persons.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, was founded in this city twenty years ago, meeting first in a private home, and later in a small hall; for several years the congregation met in the old Spiritualist church at Alabama and New York streets. In recent years it has held its services in the Propylæum. The new church building was begun on Aug. 11, 1910, and on Sept. 22 of the same year the corner-stone was laid.—Indianapolis News.
