Church Building in Oakland.

The new Congregational church in Oakland was dedicated Jan. 21. It is the largest church building in the city, covering the entire front on Clay Street, from 12th to 13th. It corners on 13th diagonally across the street from the Seventh-day Adventist house. Its cost is about $100,000. No expense has seemingly been spared to make it attractive. Five churches now worship in that immediate vicinity; the Congregationalist and Free Presbyterian on 13th street, west of the Seventh-day Adventist. The Methodist and Central Baptist, on 14th street. The Baptists meet in Central Hall. Though the Adventist house is smaller than the others, it loses nothing by comparison with its larger neighbors; it is neat and simple in style, and a credit to the people who have struggled so hard to build it and keep it up.
