Approaching The Mother Church edifice along the Fenway boulevard one notes a change in the skyline. In proper proportion to the height of the dome on the Church extension, towers the steel framework of Section "A" of the Publishing House. It is evident that a wide panorama can be seen from this tower, but as the tile-concrete floors are not yet built between the girders of the upper stories and one must clamber along steel beams, we shall defer describing the view of Boston and vicinity, including that of Boston Harbor, which the venturesome may now obtain.

The powerful steel derricks which operated from near the top of the steel tower have been dismantled and smaller derricks, erected on top of one of the projecting stories, have lowered them in sections to the street. The eight wooden derricks used in setting stone on Section "B" will shortly be removed to Section "A," since on "B" the stone setting is almost completed, there remaining to be erected only a small section of the parapet and the side walls of the penthouse and fourth story, which for architectural purposes are set back from the outer walls.

The granite "grass course," so called, is already being set on Section "A." Unlike Section "B," the walls of this part of the Publishing House will be constructed of brick faced with limestone, the limestone and brick being laid simultaneously. The stone is dovetailed directly into the brick with metal anchors.

Directly back of the parapet on Section "B" is a copperlined gutter and flashing to carry off the water from the roof, and the stone slopes to carry surface water into the gutter, thus preventing the defacing of the stone by water running down the face of the building. High up on the projecting floors of Section "A" are fastened plaster models of the cornice or parapet, these being placed to facilitate the architect's study of this feature of the building.

The penthouse of Section "A," actually two stories in height, will be used for the purposes of storage and for elevator machinery, pumps, and tanks. Already the three elevator motors for this section have been raised to the eleventh, or top story by the steel derricks recently removed, and there they rest on a floor of temporary planking one hundred and fifty feet from the street. As yet workers on the upper stories are under the necessity of climbing the temporary wooden stairs.

The workmen engaged on the Publishing House, sometimes to the number of six hundred, are a particularly happy and resourceful group of men—happy to be at work and happy to be engaged on a job where, as some have expressed it, there is not an endeavor "to cut the corners," but on the contrary to work for perfection.

From the many letters sent in by guests who have visited the Pacific Coast Sanatorium at San Francisco, the following excerpts are quoted as indicative of the peace and healing which are being experienced in this lovely place.

One says: "The whole atmosphere is permeated with love, both within and without the building. The sweet smiles, kindly words, and attention of the associates prove to one they are contacting with love only."

Another: "I left the world outside when I entered your door. I came expecting a great deal of the home and I received abundantly of all I expected. The home is certainly a 'bit of heaven come to earth.' I loved the happy spirit of the associates, the graciousness of the guests, the trees, the gardens, the flowers, and the privilege of picking the pansies. . . . I know I am richer because of my stay."

Another writes that she had not realized what the Sanatorium had to offer, not only to those who are ill, but to those desiring a few days of study and rest; and she states, "The sense of peace amidst normal activities, giving one no sense of stagnation, was greatly appreciated, and I was filled with a desire to sing, 'Stranger, thou art the guest of God'" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 254).

One who was perhaps clinging mentally to that which should be released wrote: "The gaining of a better understanding of 'letting go' came to me on the first day. I am sure all who enter your doors with a receptive thought will be able to join in the spirit expressed in the last verse of a hymn:

Truly, many a one who has entered the doors of the Pacific Coast Sanatorium, and of the Sanatorium at Chestnut Hill, which has had a longer experience of service, has dropped his burden and borne a song away in his heart.

The Advertising Department of The Christian Science Publishing Society reports that a better understanding of the mission of the Advertising Information Committees is in evidence throughout the Field. This is indicated by the fact that ninety-eight committees were appointed in 1931 in districts where there had theretofore been none. Thus far this year fifty-six new committees have been appointed, including that in the local district of The Mother Church, making the total nine hundred and thirty-nine, located in six hundred and eighty-five cities or towns.
