Among the Churches

Current Notes

NEW HAMPSHIRE.—The press of the state has maintained a general attitude of respect toward Christian Science. Only two papers have published articles that were unfriendly, and these were plate matter. On the other hand, much of a friendly nature has been printed; and in many instances editorials from The Christian Science Monitor have been reprinted with favorable comment. Several papers have printed Christian Science lectures in full. During the first ten months of 1915 the following literature was distributed: 3,821 Sentinels, 1,727 Journals, 23,557 Monitors, 483 pamphlets, and 10,115 miscellaneous publications.

PARIS, ILL.—Papers have been passed for the transfer of the Bowen property on East Court Street to the Christian Science Society. While no definite arrangements have been made, it is understood that the society contemplates the erection of a new brick church in the near future. For several years the society has been meeting in the old Commercial Club rooms over the Citizens National Bank on the southeast corner of the square. Although the hall furnishes ample room for the present membership, the society desires to get away from the noise of the street-cars and to have a church of its own.—

GRAND ISLAND, NEB.—The edifice of First Church of Christ, Scientist, was dedicated yesterday morning [Nov. 7]. The organization now has a home worth, with the real estate, about five thousand dollars. As long ago as 1886 physical healing by means of Christian Science was demonstrated in this city. In the year 1889 a practitioner located here, at whose home Christian Science services were held. On Sept. 22, 1896, a church was organized with a membership of thirteen. A room in the Independent Building was rented, and there the members of the newly organized church held their services, remaining at this place until 1901, when a house and lot located at the corner of Kimball and Second Streets was purchased, to be used as a church home. The house was remodeled somewhat, and opening services were held on June 2, 1901. On June 19, 1904, the church was dedicated. In October, 1907, it became evident that the little building was inadequate in various ways, and after consideration it was decided to move into the Odd Fellows Hall, which offered a much more desirable place for holding meetings. The lot on Kimball and Second Streets was sold, and in February, 1910, another property was purchased, on which the present edifice stands.—
