Among the Churches

Current Notes

Plainfield, New Jersey (First Church).—Ground has recently been broken for the erection of First Church of Christ, Scientist, at Prospect Avenue and East Ninth Street. Thus, from a most modest beginning on March 20, 1904, when three people met in this city to read the Christian Science service at a private residence, has this church organization developed. The new church building will be of stucco magnasite. The auditorium will seat three hundred, and accommodations for two hundred members of the Sunday school will be provided in the basement. The new church is of a simple and dignified type of colonial design, one well calculated to add to the civic dignity of Plainfield; and it will be an important addition to the heart of the city's finest section.—Courier-News.

Littleton, New Hampshire (Society).—The Christian Science Society of Littleton has decided to build a church edifice on the lot recently purchased on Pleasant Street. Plans have been drawn and accepted, and the actual work will be commenced shortly. It is to have an auditorium forty by twenty-seven feet, with a Reading Room, coat room, anterooms, and porch. The building is twenty-nine by sixty-eight feet, with a Reading Room at the front, projecting out to make thirty-seven feet. Over the Reading Room is a small tower, which will add much to the attractiveness of the completed building. It is to be of stucco and brick.—Littleton Courier.
