Among the Churches

Current Notes

Chicago, Ill.—Eleventh Church of Christ, Scientist, opened the new church edifice on the northwest corner of Logan Boulevard and Mozart Street on Sunday, July 1. The building covers an area of 90 feet in width by 120 feet in depth on a lot 95 by 125 feet, and the auditorium has a full seating capacity of fifteen hundred. The land was purchased June 21, 1914, ground was broken April 5, 1916, and the following July 6 the corner stone was laid. The approximate cost of the lot and building, including the organ and all furnishings, will be one hundred and seventy-two thousand dollars.—The Jeffersonian.

South Santa Anita, Cal.—Dedication of the edifice of the Christian Science Society took place June 3. It is on a lot 120 by 356 feet in area and its seating capacity is about four hundred. The total cost of lot and building was about sixty-five hundred dollars.

South Haven, Mich.—Operations have commenced toward clearing away the old foundation and putting in the new one on the lot at the corner of Phoenix and Pearl Streets, purchased a year ago by First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city. The cost will not exceed sixty-one hundred dollars. Ever since the first Christian Science meeting, held seventeen years ago in a private home, the members of the local church have looked forward to the time when they should have a building of their own. French's Hall, Zeedyk's Hall, and the Scott Club Building have successively accommodated them, and they expect their next move will be into their new church, which will be ready by Oct. 1. The lot is one of the most favorable in the city for a church building, and some of the near-by property holders have offered liberal contributions toward the improvement of the corner. This corner has figured prominently in the early history of our city.
