LYNN, MASS.

The trustees of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city have signed preliminary papers to purchase the Davis estate on Baltimore street, opposite Portland street, as a site for a religious edifice. This announcement will be read with interest by a large number of people throughout the world. It is the opinion of the members of the Christian Science faith that a more desirable location certainly could not be found in our city, centering as it does one of the most attractive residential sections. The estate is located at 34 Baltimore street, and was formerly owned by the late Joseph Davis. There is a dwelling on the estate assessed for twelve thousand dollars, and there are fifteen thousand five hundred and sixty-three square feet of land with an assessed valuation of eight thousand two hundred dollars.

As the long-time home of the Founder of the Christian Science movement and the place where Science and Health, her most important work, was written, it is entirely in keeping that a church should be erected in Lynn which shall be a credit to the city and stand as a worthy memorial of Mrs. Eddy, and judging from what the Christian Scientists have done elsewhere, the Christian Scientists of Lynn are assured that this will in due time be accomplished here. Although no plans for a church have been finally agreed upon, it is known to be the intention of the trustees of the church to erect a handsome structure.—Daily Item.

SYDNEY. N. S. W.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, has just purchased a block of land at a cost of eighteen hundred pounds ($9,000). The location is very central, near to Oxford square, which forms part of one of the principal avenues, Oxford street, and it is convenient to all the tramways. The area will allow for the erection of a church edifice to hold five to six hundred persons, and it is proposed to begin this work as early as possible. This important step is indicative of the progress our beloved cause is making in this great and growing city.—Correspondence.
