Central Christian Church Dedication Brings Debt-Fee Joy
The Central Christian Church at Fort Wayne and Walnut dedicated Sunday as the city’s finest with a light interior of oak and stained glass. A large under-one-roof layout includes Sunday school rooms and folding partitions, while a raised pulpit and pipe organ center the sanctuary. Grounded by a $46,000 cost and $10,000 already subscribed, the church was debt-free at dedication. Rev. J H Garrison spoke on faith and growth, with an afternoon communion and humorous minister talks by city pastors. Special music and a concerted chorus under Frank Stire highlighted the event.
