Sunday, November 10, 1901, will ever be to the members of First Church of Christ; Scientist, of Rock Valley, Iowa, a memorable occasion. It was on this occasion that patient, untiring, and courageous efforts (extending over several years) of the few and faithful ones who comprise the membership, were crowned by the dedication of a handsome little edifice to be their church home.
The day was a beautiful one and at each of the two services (both exactly similar), which were held at 10.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. respectively, there was an audience that filled the entire capacity of the church.
The services opened with an organ voluntary by Mrs. Vitzthum. Following this the congregation sang the beautiful hymn, "Still, still with Thee when purple morning breaketh."
