We were in error in saying, in the Weekly of November 17, that the old Robert Collyer church edifice at Dearborn Avenue and Walton Place, Chicago, had been purchased by Christian Scientists. We published what we did upon the strength of the statements of the Chicago newspapers, and also private advices, but it seems both were mistaken.

Another letter now informs us that the transaction failed because the necessary four-fifths of the adult members of the congregation worshiping in the old Collyer church would not consent to the sale, except for a sum considerably in excess of the amount originally named, and thereupon negotiations ceased.

We regret the mistake.
