CHURCH DEDICATED
New Christian Science Church Dedi-
Gated With Appropriate Ceremon-
ies-Edifice Occupies Prominent
Site at Seventeenth and Market
Streets.

The formal dedication OF the naEo-
soma new Christian Science church
edifice which is situated at the corner
of 18th and Market streets occurred
Sunday, there having been two seIVl-
ces one in the morning and the other
In the afternoon, both OF which were
of an interesting nature and attended
by large congregations Among these
who attended the dedicatory services
were many who are members Of other
churches in the city and the evident
disposition on their part was to see
for themselves what merit there is
IN the faith, giving place to the preJu-
diced view which has been held by
many since the denomination first made
its entrance into Wilmington.
The order of exercises which was
observed at both services consisted o1
Scripture reading, prayer, selections
from Mary Baker G. Eddys 'Scleuce
and Health With Key to The Script
ures''. an Interesting history OF Chris
tian Science in this city, followed
bv the lesson sermon, this consisting
of selections from the Bible with cor
related reading from Mrs Eddy's book
Science and Health With Key TO the
Scriptures
The order of exercises was as fol-
lows:
Solo Feed My Sheep" words by
Rev. Mary Baker c. Eddy.
Scriptural selection.
Prayer.
Hymn.
Reading of Church History.
Hymn.
Lesson Sermon.
Solo.
BenedictiOn.
During the services yesterday there
were a number Of cOngratulatOry tel
egrams from Christian Science leaders
and churches in different parts Oh the
country and also a cablegram from
we'll wishers in France. An especially
felicitiOus message was the one from
Mrs. Eddy, the founder Of Christian
Science.
The church edifice which stands in
a commanding position at the corner
of 18th and Market streets, presents
an attractive appearance. With its
large white columns it is a fine type
of colonial architecture. The interior
is especially pretty, the walls being
treated in light green and all the
wood work is of white and heavy
green velvet carpet covers the floors.
The reading desks and rostrum aro
also white On the walls are inscrib-
ed on scrolls appropriate texts taken
from the Bible and from the Christian
Science text book. Comfortable opera
chairs form the seating arrangement.
Adjoining tn main auditorium is the
reading room, which is asO treated in
white and greet and opening on to this

PLOTS AGAINST MR.. DANIELS

Ever since the Hon. Josephus Dan

a pilgrimage of democratic editors to
the centre of the worlds desire in
Esopus the eyes Of millions have gaz-
ed at him fondly; the ears of millions
have trembled to catch his slightest
word. Nor has their expectation been
baff1ed. He has risen to the situation
and stabbed it with a pen dripping
| with red ink and fire:
There never was time in the MIS-
tory Of North Carolina.
"Rung like a bell throughout North
Carolina.
''The people felt to thank God
Put iron in the blood even in wav-
ering"
To ''show the temper of the people"
Mr.. Daniels prints letter from one
of the foremost Industrial leaders IN
the section near Washington" n. e.,
nshort at Pinetown, to ''Mr. Josephus
Daniels, editor of the squarest paper
| in North Carolina
The Industrial leader stands. by tn
foremost leader writer:
Il hope you come out good and
strong
Il claim this question Of equal ln-
portance with our declaration of July
4, 1776.
Il can go on your bond myself for
$25, 900 and can raise a million to help
you out, and would be one Of the
many to try to destroy any prison
they may put you in and expect to be
able to travel in a few days, and Will
go and do anything needed to uphold
our independence as a state.

We have long been afraid that the
Hon. Josephus Daniels devotion to the
Peo-pul would expose him to the ruth

and corporate chicane.
1t seems from the PlnetOWn letter
that the interests are trying to i'm

hope of silencing that tocsin of free

can hold him. It will be torn down by
the indignant Peo-pul He will como
out good and strong, as Pinetown
hopes.
1t must be a source of pride as well

The history of the growth of Chris

one Of the members and it was in part
as follows:
Because of my association with the
work Of Christian Science, during its
early days in this city, l have been
requested by the members of this
church to give a brief history of it's
inception and growth, up to this time
This account. given in dates and
statistics, is quite simple. In 1897 a
resident Of Wilmington was healed III
der Christian Science treatment and
received class instruction on this sub
ject from Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, of
New York City. The patient and stu
dent, thus healed, came home convinc-
ed that Christian Science is synono-
nous with primitive Christianity, and
that its students, in the degree 20
which they live the Christ-life and
think the Christ thoughts, can do the
Christ works The following Sunday
the Christian Science service was read
aloud for the first time in this city It
was read in a private parlor by one
person, without a hearer save God

that day to this, Christian Science has
