dc.description	The "Dime Tabernacle," so-named because members each contributed 10 cents a month for its building, was the fourth church of the Seventh-Day Adventists in Battle Creek, who were formally organized in 1861. Shown here in 1879, the church on the corner of Washington and Main streets was built a year earlier at a cost of $40,000. The church burned to the ground in 1922 and in 1926 was replaced by tabernacle that still stands on the same site. An early history of the church is summarized in a Jan. 1, 1916, story in The Evening News.	en_US
