Hall To Be Dedicated
The first Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's witnesses to be built in Christchurch will he dedicated this week-end. Mr C. Canty, the New Zealand branch supervisor, will give the dedication address to an audience of 300.
The hall, on the comer of Grahams and Avonhead roads, will be used as a Bible educational centre for Jehovah's witnesses in Fendalton, Riccarton, and Bryndwr. A programme of four meetings weekly, consisting of doctrinal studies, public speaking training courses, and public lectures on various Bible subjects is planned.
The main structure of the building was erected by J. Alberts, Ltd., and the finishing was done by voluntary labour. Much of the material was contributed by Jehovah's witnesses. The cost of the hall and section was £7OOO.
