First Church Of Christ, Scientist, Wichita, Kan., located at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Second Street, was dedicated Sunday, August 18. Two services were held, the first at 10.45 a.m., and the second at 8 p.m. Christian Scientists from many of the neighboring towns were present. Addresses were delivered by Mrs. Anna K. Tucker, First Reader, and Gilbert D. Tucker, Second Reader. Miss Harriet Turner of El Dorado, sang two solos, "Just for To-day," and "These are They."
The church is in the form of a Latin cross, and has a seating capacity of about three hundred. It was formerly known as St. John's Episcopal Church. It was purchased, moved to its present location, remodeled, and put in good repair at a total cost of nearly four thousand dollars.
All with whom we have spoken have expressed themselves as being pleased with the church. The pastor of the Congregational Church, which is located just across the street, has seemed greatly interested in the preparation and progress of our building, and was much pleased when told of the success of the dedicatory services.
