Current Notes

Northumberland, England.—The attitude of the press has been quite friendly to Christian Science. Editors are glad to receive our literature, and the educational value of it is evidenced by the good reports many of the newspapers have given of the lectures and by other friendly references to Christian Science. The literature distributed during the year in the county, which includes that done by the literature distribution committees of Newcastle church and Whitley Bay society, has been as follows: 2214 Sentinels, 442 Journals, 11,980 Monitors, 517 pamphlets and miscellaneous pieces, making a sum total of 15,153. The various gifts from the Trustees under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy have been of great value, first, toward the expenses of general distribution done by the literature distribution committees; second, in providing free of cost large quantities of literature for distribution to soldiers' camps, war hospitals, and other places used by the military, the numbers distributed in this way over and above the figures already given being: 1293 Sentinels, 472 Journals, 16,417 Monitors, and 368 pamphlets, or a total of 18,550 pieces; third, in providing public libraries with authorized Christian Science literature.

Committee on Publication.

Texarkana, Texas.—The Christian Science Society has purchased the old J. F. Smith residence, 612 Walnut Street, and is having plans prepared contemplating the remodeling of the building to make it suitable for the uses of the society. The lot is 75 by 140 feet, and is beautifully situated in a delightful neighborhood.—The Texarkanian.
