Under the happiest auspices and amid a profusion of palms, chrysanthemums, and happy faces, the beautiful and cosy little Church of Christ, Scientist, at No. 336 East Third South Street, was yesterday dedicated and consecrated.
The little church was designed with a seating capacity of six hundred and fifty, but yesterday there were not less than one thousand people in attendance, the aisles of the lower floor and the balcony being filled with chairs, and all corridors being crowded with people who were standing. The parlors, committee-rooms, and snuggeries with which the corner spaces of the structure are furnished were also crowded with visitors and members. Scientists from Denver, Aspen, and Grand Junction, Col.; from Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho and other adjoining states were present to participate in the dedication.
The folding doors of the large committee-room at the south were thrown open and the space was occupied by forty young girls, who subsequently enhanced the excellent musical programme with a beautifully rendered chorus under the direction of Mr. E. A. Nock, who also presided as organist.
