AMONG THE CHURCHES

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.

No one living in Brigham street is likely to object to the erection on that highway of a sanctuary for Second Church of Christ, Scientist—commonly called the Christian Science Church. Usually the buildings of that denomination are of a sort to be invited. They add to the impressive beauty of the streets on which they are located, and grace the neighborhood in which they stand.

Whether or not the reader may subscribe to the doctrines of the Christian Science church, the fact remains that no organization can be bad which gathers into its fold so many people of the excellence known to compose the Christian Science church of this city. Their cult has grown here, and it is growing everywhere. First Church has become inadequate to accommodate the people who want to go there. Membership has increased to the point where the congregation has to be divided, and the younger half will have to erect a home of its own. No longer will rented rooms be satisfactory.—Republican.

WEST CHESTER, PA.

Christian Science services were held in the new church building North High street, for the first time yesterday, March 6. A brief history of the beginning and growth of Christian Science in West Chester was read by the Christ Reader. The church will not be dedicated at present, because the building is not free of debt. It is as convenient and inviting a building as one may desire to see, seating two hundred and twenty persons on the main floor, and forty in the gallery, and cost about ten thousand dollars. The colonial effect is produced in high degree by the oldtime pews finished in mahogany and white, the buff walls and white trimmings, and a molding about the ceiling.

EL PASO, TEXAS.

Ground was broken yesterday [Mar. 9] for the beautiful church edifice to be erected by First Church of Christ, Scientist, at the corner of Montana and Stanton streets. The contractor will complete the building within three months. The cost will be about $10,000. The edifice will be of the Corinthian style of architecture, square in design and massive in detail, forty-eight feet wide by eighty feet in length, with a height to ceiling of twenty-five feet. In front will be a commodious porch, ten by thirty-four feet, supported by four massive Corinthian columns. A membership of less than fifty has undertaken the task of building the church, and it is understood that sufficient funds have been subscribed to meet all expenditures.—El Paso Times.
