Louisville, Ky.—The building committee of First Church of Christ, Scientist, has let the contract for the completion of the new church edifice at Third Street and Ormsby Avenue. When completed the building will represent an outlay of two hundred thousand dollars. The lot on which it will be erected fronts 150 feet on Third Street and 200 feet on Ormsby Avenue. The building will be 891/2 feet wide and 176 feet long, outside measurements. Its foundation was laid late last year, and the congregation has been meeting under a temporary structure built on the permanent foundation. The seating capacity of the new church will be fourteen hundred. — Louisville Post.

LOWELL, MASS.—The work on the new edifice of First Church of Christ, Scientist, at the junction of Andover and Nesmith Streets, is being rushed along. The building, according to plans, will cost between fifty and sixty thousand dollars, but only a portion of it will be built this year. The structure will be 87 feet by 55 feet. The members of the church have decided to expend eighteen thousand dollars on it this year, and accordingly only the Sunday school department, which will take up about half of the building, one story high, will be erected for the present. — Lowell Sun.

OMAHA, NEB.—Plans are being made for Second Church of Christ, Scientist, to build on the site, 70 by 125 feet, that it bought some time ago on Forty-first Street, between Dodge and Davenport Streets, East Side. It proposes to have a building seating about eight hundred people and costing possibly sixty thousand dollars.—Omaha World-Herald.
