From the Canon City Times we extract the following interesting account of the dedication of what this paper calls "the pretty chapel" of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Canon City, Col. In addition to the account in the Times we also publish, in its order, the interesting address of Mrs. Minnie Shaffer Avery, Second Reader of the church. We congratulate our brethren of Canon City, Col., upon this happy and successful event.
The Times says:—
The Christian Science chapel which has just been completed by First Church of Christ, Scientist, on Main Street, near Ninth, was dedicated Sunday, August II. The edifice is of Grecian design, and is built of brick with a white brick front with a large porch supported by white pillars. The size of the building is 42x54½. In the front part are two rooms 12x12, one for storing books and chairs, and the other for a reading room. The auditorium is 32x40 and will seat two hundred and fifty persons. The walls are almost white, with a border of oak leaves and acorns. The windows are of stained glass. The circular window on the south is by the celebrated artist, Henry Read, and is entirely a Colorado product. A Denver artist who saw this window, says that from an artistic standpoint, it has no superior in Denver. The pulpit and its furnishings are white and gilt. Charles Heyle, a member of the church, and one of the trustees, was the architect, and superintended the building.
