CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The morning service at First Chui ch of Christ, Scientist, Wellington, on Sunday was a dedicatory service, and included a brief resume of the growth of the movement in Wellington. Below are some interesting extracts:— In Christian Science a church edifice may be dedicated only when free from debt. Christian Science services were first held in Wellington at a private residence in the year 1912, continuing until August, 1913, when the Wellington Christian Science Society was organised, and services held in-a room in W ifiis Street, until 1914, from whence the society removed to the present structure, 46 Boulcott Street, the freehold of which was acquired in May, 19-0. The following April, 1921, the members unanimously changed their status from a society to that of a branch church of The Mother Church,” the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass., U.S.A., taking the name of “First Church of Christ, Scientist, Wellington, N.Z. Luder this status and appellation an unbroken sequence of services has been held in this building since its occupation, and signs are not lacking that the present accommodation proving insufficient, a new structure will be needed to house the growing body ot Christian Scientists.
