A notable event in the Christian Science movement will be the completion and dedication of the magnificent new church edifice of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. Sunday, November 14, has been set apart as the day for the dedication ceremonies. The erection of so large and costly a structure, in the great metropolis of the West, is cause for gratitude and rejoicing to all who have the success of our Cause at heart. This achievement marks another monument, of the material sort, to the self-sacrificing labors of the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy. It will stand in mute but eloquent testimonial of noble and heroic effort in the line of true evangelism.
We doubt not there will be a large attendance to witness and participate in the happy event. All honor to the loyal band of local patriots for their good part in the great work. An account of the dedication, with a description of the building, will be given, if possible, in our next issue.
The completion and dedication of the church in Brooklyn, an account of which is given on another page, is also cause for congratulation and rejoicing. Soon another edifice will be completed in that city. In several other places, also, this year will witness the completion of handsome edifices now building. The completion and occupancy of the beautiful chapel, corner of Eighty-second Street, and the Western Boulevard, New York City, is another significant evidence of progress in the great metropolis. Thus the Cause moves grandly on in despite of traditionalism and opposition.
