Current Notes

Philadelphia, Pa.—After our organization as Second Church, June 1, 1912, attendance at the Sunday morning service in Masonic Hall, Germantown, so increased that we were obliged to seek larger quarters. Since Sunday, March 1, 1914, we have been holding service in the Orpheum Theater on Chelten avenue. More commodious quarters not being available, we are still compelled to hold our Sunday evening service and Wednesday evening meeting in the Masonic Hall. During the year we have bought and paid for a lot that cost thirty thousand dollars, whereon in the near future we expect to erect a church to seat twelve hundred people. The work of the distribution committee has increased wonderfully, literature being placed in all of our libraries, also in most of our theaters, hotels, steamers, institutions, and hospitals. Correspondence.

London, England (Cablegram).—The Christian Science Board of Directors, Boston: Having overflowed from First Church of Christ, Scientist, London, England, under conditions of unity and progress, we the organizing members of Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist, London, England, take our first step in unanimously resolving to cable this expression of our grateful loyalty to the Directors of The Mother Church.—F. Lovell Lee, Chairman.

Rock Island, Ill.—The corner-stone of the new Christian Science church, located at the corner of Twenty-second street and Seventh avenue, was laid Sunday morning [Nov. 29] with simple but fitting ceremonies. The new church edifice, which will comfortably seat eight hundred people and will cost in the neighborhood of eighty thousand dollars, is to be finished in September, 1915.—The Rock Island Union.
