Beaumont, Texas. — Work on the new church building to be erected by the congregation of First Church of Christ, Scientist, will start immediately. The structure will be built at Calder Avenue and Main Street and will cost approximately fifteen thousand dollars, including furnishings. It will be finished by June 1.—Beaumont Enterprise.

Lancaster, N. H. — The Unitarian Society of Lancaster has presented its church building and the land on which it stands to the Christian Science Society of this town. No use has been made of the property for several years, but the Unitarians are desirous that the building should be put to some good use, and feel that in giving it to the Christian Scientists it will be improved and maintained. The deed of gift has already been issued by the Unitarian Society, and the transfer of the property is expected daily. The Scientists greatly appreciate the generosity of the donors, as it has made possible a church home for them, something they have desired for some time. —The Coos County Democrat.
