THE BUILDING FUND

The Christian Science Board of Directors

We are pleased to announce that the fund for the enlarging of the publishing house, to meet the immediate requirements of The Christian Science Monitor, has been subscribed.

In making this announcement we take the opportunity to thank the Field for its support in this as well as in all other important undertakings for the extension of the Cause of Christian Science. Some have asked why the space needed for the Monitor was not taken into account in the original plans of the publishing house, and to these friends we would say that at the time the plans were made the publication of a daily newspaper was not contemplated. Our Leader saw, however, in August last, that the time had come for the launching of a paper such as the Monitor has proved to be, and as no provision for such a purpose had been made in that part of the building which was then practically finished, it became necessary to call upon the Field for further contributions. That a considerable part of the additional building fund was subscribed before the publication of the Monitor was announced, and that all has now been paid in, is a source of great satisfaction to those concerned.

The Christian Science Board of Directors.
