There are doubtless many folks In
the city who only know OF the Chris
tfsn church as name, and couldn't
tell who. what or where ft IS; yet It
is . very live church indeed. with q
thorough and mp to- date organization
have quite u number OF representa-
tive city people among their congregn.-
tions and, which is very much TO the
point. they are erecting another Land
mark IN the rapid progress OF Pensa.-
cola. In the shape OF a new thirty
thousand dollar church.; not thirty
hundred, mind you, but thirty thou-
sand, and as IL by magic, the money
IN being subscribed b. their very own
rneanbsrB at the rate OF a thousand
dollars or 90 per week
Here is n church which has had
this patience to wait and to work
whilst Ii waited. and, even as by
their works we shall know them, !"
along comes the reward.
IN his sermon OF yesterday REV.
Lennox gave some statistics Of the
ey0wth Of the church, and 1t will come
~ 4 ssarprfEe to many 70 learn that
the membership throughout the coun-
fry totals u million and a half.
Explaining the reason for the ex
istesce 81 the church, Rev. Lennox
stated that 1t provided Place OF wor-
ship entirely free from dogma for
penpIs who were not Catholics, nor
Rapf1sts. nor Methodists nor Epis-
copaliams, nor Presbyterians, but were
Dust ordinary. every day, plain. sim
pie Christians; and hence the name,
ssThe Christian Church"
In these broad minded times, when
anything like rivalry or jealousy
amongst the various churches is not
to b. thought OF, every Christian mem
fer OF every church will tender con-
wratulakipns to the devoted band OF
workers who are thus helping on the
good work In so practical manner.
Tho new church IL being erected at
the corner OF Seventh avenue and

tectua. Improvement to the neighhor-
