From the Sioux City Daily Tribune of December 13, 1897, we extract the following:—
"The new First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Sioux City, located at the southwest corner of Tenth and Jones Streets, was dedicated yesterday.
"Services were held at 10.30 a.m., 2.30 and 7.30 p.m., and at each of them the church was crowded. The interior of the edifice is very artistically arranged. The seats, which are large opera chairs, finer than anything seen in any other church in Sioux City, are set in curves running diagonally across the room, facing the pulpit, which is in the southeast corner of the church. Yesterday the organ was decorated with exquisite roses.
