DEDICATION OF A CHURCH AT SHEBOYGAN

From the March 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is our pleasure to chronicle the completion (of course free from debt) of a beautiful church edifice at Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The interesting event took place on January 2, 1898, and was an occasion of great moment to the local body of faithful workers there. Only three years ago this church began to struggle into existence. Its growth has been rapid, and the workers there have great reason to congratulate themselves on the successful issue of their labors. Our report says:—

"It is again the story of private meetings in the home of the Scientist; of swelling numbers; of a lack of room; of the renting of a hall; of that also becoming too small to admit the throngs of earnest seekers after Truth; of the renting of a larger hall; of meeting at the Opera House; of inconveniences here and there; of the resolve to build a church of their own, which, carried into effect, has given them the beautiful structure which has just been dedicated to the worship of the true and only God. It was Love exemplified in unity that reared this temple.

"The contributions to the building fund came in easily, entailing hardship on none. It was the outward demonstration of the riches within, the priceless treasure of brotherly love, and of abiding faith in the protecting care of divine Love.
