New Orleans, La. (Second Church).—Gradual but considerable growth in the number of adherents of the Church of Christ, Scientist, in New Orleans, especially during the past few years, has culminated in the purchase of the Steels Building, right in the heart of the business district, by Second Church of Christ, Scientist, making the second large edifice in this city used by the followers of Mrs. Eddy. In addition, the two local churches maintain a Reading Room in the Whitney Building. Although it is against the practice of Christian Science churches to give the numbers of its members, it can be said that there has been a large increase in the membership here. Other evidences that are cited to show this growth are the facts that Second Church found its present quarters on the fourth floor of the Association of Commerce Building so cramped that it was necessary to move to a larger building, and that First Church is building a Sunday school adjoining its church. The seating capacity of the new church in the Steele Building will be approximately one thousand. Second Church was organized only two and a half years ago. First Church was built in 1913, although as an association it has been in existence for thirtyfive years.
