On Sunday, January 9, there was dedicated with appropriate exercises the Chapel of Brooklyn Church of Christ, Scientist, situated on Park Place near Nostrand Avenue in that city. The regular services were held at 10.45 a.m., when the Communion service was celebrated. The dedicatory services were held at three o'clock in the afternoon, and repeated again at eight in the evening. The auditorium was very largely filled at each service, many out-of-town Scientists being present. The event is one of general interest to Christian Scientists, inasmuch as this is the second Christian Science Church opened for public worship and active work in this city of many churches within a few weeks. The principal feature of the dedicatory services was the presentation to the large audiences of the significance of the word Temple through references from the Impersonal Pastor the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," read by the official Readers of the church, Mrs. Emilie B. Hulin, C.S.B., and Mr. Archie E. Van Ostrand, C.S. There was also congregational and solo singing, silent prayer, the audible repetition of the Lord's Prayer with spiritual interpretation, and brief addresses by the First Reader of the church, Mrs. E.B. Hulin, and Rev. Wm. P. McKenzie, C.S., of Boston.
Following is a telegram from the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, which was read at each service.
