Punxsutawney, Pa.—First Church of Christ, Scientist, has purchased the Joseph L. Kurtz property, corner of Union and South Findley Streets. The consideration is reported to have been sixty-five hundred dollars. The property is near the business center of the city and is an ideal location. The large dwelling on the lot will be remodeled and used for the present as a church edifice and reading room. Plans are being made for the erection of a permanent church edifice. First Church of Christ, Scientist, was organized in 1906, and for the past several years has held its services in the Fackiner Building. The congregation expects to be in its new home by the first of July.—Punxsutawney Spirit.

Boise, Idaho.—The Christian Science Comforts Forwarding committee, whose headquaters are at 807 Jefferson Street, has just completed a very profitable year's work for soldiers and sailors of our country. During the year the committee received in unsolicited subscriptions from various sources the sum of $1065.95, all of which has been expended on materials for the garments made by its members, having been spent for the following articles: 656 sweaters, helmets, scarfs, wristers, and socks; 36 khaki vests for soldiers and sailors; 44 bathrobes for convalescent soldiers; 757 new refugee garments; or a total of 1493 garments made and shipped. In addition to this 200 second-hand garments were repaired and shipped for refugees; also 33 garments were supplied to the needy in the city of Boise, and several knitted articles were given to local boys for use in the Army. The local committee is one of a thousand similar committees of war relief workers organized among Christian Scientists all over the country, with headquaters at Boston, which from December 1, 1917, to September 1, 1918, collected and distributed 90,135 garments.—Capital News.
