San Francisco, Calif.—The proposed new church for Sixth Church of Christ, Scientist, will be located on the southeast corner of Divisadero and Clay Streets, with a frontage of 106 feet on Clay Street and 102 feet on Divisadero Street. The building will be of the Ionic style of architecture with imposing facades on both street frontages. The Clay Street facade will be featured with a colonnade of eight columns surmounted by a pediment; flanking this on Divisadero Street will be a pavilion treatment, simple and effective. This will be similar in treatment to the Clay Street facade, with the exception that the attic above the cornice will be continuous instead of being broken by a pediment. The main entrances will be back of the colonnade on Clay Street, opening into a vestibule the full width of the building, with stairs to the balcony at either end. The stairs also extend from each end of the vestibule to the Sunday school rooms of the lower floor. The main auditorium will be slightly above the level of Clay Street. The seating capacity of the main auditorium is approximately eight hundred, and the balcony approximately two hundred.

Whitley Bay, Northumberland, England (First Church).—Whitley Bay Society has become a church during the year, and the friends are to be congratulated on the steady growth of the church and congregation since they made the demonstration of providing a home of their own for public worship and in which to conduct the various activities of the church, including the provision of a reading room.—Committee on Publication.
