Portland, Ore. (Seventh Church).—Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist, of Portland, has just dedicated its edifice, located at 403 Smith Avenue, St. Johns district. During September, 1919, the first steps were taken towards the building of a permanent church home. This was completed, and opening services held June 6, 1920. As is the invariable custom among Christian Science churches, dedication of the new edifice was postponed until all indebtedness had been paid. The lines of the building are in keeping with the form of architecture adopted by Christian Science churches generally. The building is of frame construction, twenty-eight by fourteen feet in area, with a seating capacity of about two hundred and fifty. There is a large room in the basement used for Sunday school purposes, and provision is made on the first floor for a Christian Science Reading Room.—The Oregonian

Mansfield, Ohio (First Church).—A church edifice for First Church of Christ, Scientist, will be erected on an attractive location at the corner of Marion Avenue and Wood Street. The architecture will be of the Georgian colonial period with a front porch and commanding pillars. It will face Marion Avenue and will have practically three stories, which will include the basement. The exterior of the building will be of brick, a suitable material for the type of architecture. The new structure will be featured by a large auditorium, seating approximately three hundred and seventy, and with dimensions of forty by sixty feet. The contractors plan to start building activities as soon as possible.
