Church Building of Florida
(By Associated Press)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 26.—
The influx of winter visitors to this
i city has brought about a situation
in local churches that is believed to
be unparalleled in the religious his
tory of the country. So large is the
attendance at two of the churches
that the preachers have resorted to
double services every Sunday after
noon to accommodate the throngs
who wish to worship in their build
! ings.
At both places, the Congressional
Church and the First Avenue Metho
dist Church, the complete program of
music, scripture reading and sermon
| are given at both services, the sec
ond services following the first with
only an intermission for changing
congregations. The Congressioal
church has a seating capacity of 2,
000, while the Methodist edifice has
a very large auditorium.
Other churches in the city are con
templating inauguration of the double
morning service program during the
winter months. All the churches here
also have filled auditoriums at the
evening services. Reports from other
parts of the state show that many
churches are planning to enlarge
their quarters to take care of the vis
itors.
