AMONG THE CHURCHES

This morning [May 30] at half past seven the first stake was driven in the ground upon which First Church of Christ, Scientist, will stand. The site is located at the northwest corner of Seventh street west and Fourth avenue, facing the Normal school. The ground is valued at twenty-five hundred dollars. The church now being erected will be but a temporary wooden structure, artistically designed by a member of the church and estimated to cost fifteen hundred dollars. The members of this church at present hold services in the hall of Mackay and Dippie's block, at 218 Eighth avenue west.—Calgary News.

The corner-stone of the new church edifice which is being erected on Park avenue. Walnut Hills, by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Cincinnati, was laid at six o'clock Monday morning June 6. The occasion was witnessed by the building committee, First and Second Readers, and the president and clerk of the church. The service, conducted by the church Readers, consisted of silent prayer followed by the audible repetition of the Lord's Prayer and its spiritual interpretation as given in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy; appropriate Bible selections and their correlative passages from the text-book, concluding with the "scientific statement of being" (p. 468). Following the service there was sealed within the stone a copper box containing the Bible and copies of Mrs. Eddy's writings and current issues of all the Christian Science publications, also the church by-laws and a brief history written on parchment of the progress thus far made in carrying out the desire of the members for a new church edifice.—Correspondence.
