A NEW CHURCH AT LAWRENCE, MASS

From the October 1896 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Lawrence Daily American
This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: Mis. 151:1-155:14


"The church which has been in course of construction on Green Street, near the corner of Franklin, for about four months past for the occupancy of the Christian Scientist Association of this city has been completed, and to commemorate the opening of the new edifice appropriate dedication exercises were held yesterday.

The interior of the church was beautifully decorated for the occasion with cut flowers, potted plants and set pieces. One of the prettiest designs occupied a space between the two pulpits and inscribed on it was the word "Love." The prevailing colors in the decorations were pink, white and green.

The ordinary seating capacity of the church was not sufficient to accommodate the throng of people who assembled and chairs had to be supplied. Besides the large number present from this city, people from Boston, Whitman, Lowell, Haverhill and Tilton, Franklin Falls and Nashua, N. H., attended.
