Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.—The committee representing First Church of Christ, Scientist, in this city, to whom was intrusted the fund contributed by The Mother Church in Boston to be applied to relief at their discretion, has intimated to the Halifax Relief Commission a desire to present to the commission the sum of four thousand dollars toward the erection of a community house, which will for the present stand in the Exhibition grounds, but ultimately elsewhere, to fill a permanent place in the lives of the children of the city and of their parents. The commission has accepted it, with very full appreciation both of the gift and of the interest of which it is the expression. The extraordinary need for social service after its most modern and enlightened interpretation, which was created by the catastrophe of last December, will be modified with the passage of time, of course, but the need for it in some degree will be permanent here, as in every other city, and this generous gift of the Christian Scientists should be an important asset in such service.—Halifax Mail.

Marquette, Mich.—Work is in progress [July] at the property of the Christian Science church, corner of Ridge and Blaker Streets, by which the size of the auditorium will be increased a third. An addition to the building, one story in height, is being built on the south, and will be thrown into the auditorium used for the services. It will greatly increase the seating capacity and the comfort of the room.
