Sunday, November 24, 1901, will long be remembered by the Christian Scientists and others of this community, for it marked the opening service or dedication of their new chapel. The day was ideal and a large crowd, including delegations from Manhattan. Clay Center, and Junction City attended the service, in fact, many were unable to gain admittance to the church. Mr. Joseph C. Mann of Concord, N. H., was present and assisted in the service, as did also a quartette from Clay Center, composed of Mr. P. M. Wickstrum, Dr. Morrison, Mrs. Whitney, and Miss Wickstrum. This chapel was built at a cost of seven hundred dollars. It was dedicated free from debt it and is a fitting monument to the energy and sincerity of purpose of the Scientists of this community.
The following address was delivered by Mr. A. Southswick, First Reader.
Dear Friends:— We cordially welcome you to this opening service in our little Christian Science Chapel.
