CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES

From the August 1899 issue of The Christian Science Journal


At a largely attended special meeting of Brockton First Church of Christ, Scientist, held in Elks Hall last evening, it was voted to lease the hall which has been occupied by the Brockton Lodge of Elks for the past eight years, and also to purchase of the lodge the handsome fittings and furnishings which have made it the handsomest of the small halls in the city.

The church contemplates making some improvements in the hall which will make it even more desirable for their use than it is now, and the chances are that the name will be changed from Elks Hall, by which it has been known so long and favorably, to Christian Science Hall, as the church desires the name to indicate the occupants.

Brockton First Church of Christ was organized in February, 1898, and now has a membership of forty-four, with an average attendance of eighty. With the quarters at its sole disposal the church now has a very handsome home.
