Atlanta, Ga.—Christian Science services were first held at the federal prison in July, 1914, by persons appointed for that work by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Atlanta. They have since been held every Sunday morning, except for two or three occasions, when the time was consumed by the prison authorities in other ways. The attendance at the services averages about thirty.

There are about twelve hundred men in the prison, and the Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy have supplied the prison library with a liberal number of copies of Science and Health and Mrs. Eddy's other writings, also two copies of the Life of Mrs. Eddy, twenty annual subscriptions to the Monitor, ten each to the Sentinel and Journal, and twenty-five Quarterlies. The librarian states that there is a constant demand for this literature, especially the Monitor, which is often ten days old before all who wish to read it have had the opportunity.—Correspondence.

Canon City, Col.—The library at the prison has ten new copies of Science and Health. There are fifteen daily Monitors, ten Sentinels, five Journals, and ten Quarterlies there all the time, all being used and appreciated. The attendance at the services is good,—from three hundred and fifty to six hundred. There are over eight hundred on roll in the prison, but many are out in the different road camps, and attendance depends entirely upon themselves.

Correspondence.

Concord, N. H.—During the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration of the granting of the charter of Concord, First Church of Christ, Scientist, was open to visitors. The vestibule was used as a reading-room and for the distribution of literature. Large numbers visited the church and accepted the literature, and so became acquainted with our daily, weekly, and monthly publications. Eight hundred and fourteen pieces of literature were given away. The regular reading-room was also open mornings, afternoons, and evenings of both days. Camp-chairs were placed on the platform for the visitors to view the two large parades as they passed the church.—Correspondence.
