NEWARK, N. J.

The Boards of Trustees of First and Second Churches of Christ, Scientist, of this city, in obedience to divine Principle and Love, as revealed to us through our honored Leader, Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, and acting for the good of the Cause of Christian Science in Newark, have taken action resulting in the union of the two organizations. In accordance with the legal requirements Second Church has been officially dissolved and the members thereof have been received as members of First Church.

NEW ALBANY, IND.

The purchase of the First National Bank Building, at Bank and Main Streets, New Albany, was closed yesterday [April 22], and the congregation of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in that city, is now owner of the fine old building. The congregation will take possession at once, and as soon as the interior is slightly remodeled and pews installed, regular services will be held. In a few days the Reading Room connected with the church will be installed in the directors' room of the building. With slight changes the building will be admirably suited for a house of worship. The building was erected over sixty years ago, and was one of the five branches of the State Bank of Indiana.

NEW BRITAIN, CONN.

The new chapel of First Church of Christ, Scientist, is nearly ready for occupancy and will be used for services in a few weeks. The chapel has been built on a lot at the corner of West Main Street and Park Place. It is a sightly spot within a few minutes' walk from the center of the city. The chapel is built of wood, and contains a pleasant auditorium, which will seat three hundred and fifty, with a Reading Room and Sunday School room opening from the wings. These rooms can be thrown open so as to form a portion of the auditorium, giving it a seating capacity of four hundred and twenty-five. The chapel and grounds represent an expenditure of about fifteen thousand dollars. The Christian Science movement is recent in New Britain. They first organized as a society, and last November formed a church with forty charter members, and now have a congregation of about eighty.
