The San Bernardino Sun contains the following account of the dedication of the Christian Science Church edifice at Riverside, Cal., on Sunday morning, February 24, 1901:—
A carload of Christian Scientists went from here Sunday morning to Riverside to attend the dedication of their new church, and the party was joined at Colton by another carload from Los Angeles, Ontario, and along the line. There were in addition many from San Diego and other points. The church was filled to overflowing and many were unable to obtain even a look through the windows and went away to attend in the evening when the same service was repeated.
The church is without exception the most beautiful in Riverside, being of the Moorish style of architecture, the front on Sixth Street resembling a Roman temple with its massive columns, while the Lemon Street side resembles in architecture, the California missions. At the two front corners of the edifice are towers that add very much to the beauty of the building. The edifice is of brick veneering, covered outside with light grey cement, and the inside finished in plaster over steel plates; the woodwork is of light grained oak.
