Among the Churches

Madison, Wis.—On Sunday morning [Jan. 18], Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city will hold the first service in its new church edifice, 263 Langdon Street. A number of Christian Scientists, in August, 1918, formed the organization of Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of Madison, a branch of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. Services were held in a private home, then in the G. A. R. Hall, and soon the Knights of Pythias Hall was secured, where services have been held up to the present time, although it is frequently overcrowded. In the spring of 1919 the Hiram Johnson property of 263 Langdon Street was purchased and immediate steps were taken to remodel and enlarge the building for church purposes. The corner stone was laid August 20 of last year.

This is the latest addition to the churches of Madison and represents an investment of approximately twenty thousand dollars. The auditorium will have a seating capacity of two hundred and seventy-five and is expected to provide for the temporary requirements of the congregation. The lot is sufficiently large to allow for future extensions as the growth demands.—The Madison Democrat.

Denver, Colo.—Work has begun on the new church building for Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist. It will be a beautiful and imposing structure, located on the triangular plot of ground at West Thirty-first Avenue, Lake Place, and Grove Street, and will cost close to one hundred thousand dollars. Grading and excavation already are in progress. The Sunday school room will have a seating capacity of seven hundred and the auditorium eleven hundred.
