Items of Interest

The Treasurer continues to receive interesting letters from contributors to the Publishing House Building Fund. From them the following incidents have been selected as perhaps helpful to the Field:

A man who fixed upon a sum which he thought it proper to give, but which he did not have, decided to send small monthly amounts as supply came to him until he had realized his intent. A second, finding that his income for the last few months had been less than usual and that he could not then send the amount desired, transmitted what he could; whereupon his work promptly became more regular, and in less than two months he could send enough to total more than twice the amount first remitted. A mother, not a member of the Christian Science church, whose six children are pupils in a branch church Sunday school, sent gold pieces "snuggled" in a cake of soap, emulating the incident related on page 10 of Mrs. Eddy's Message to The Mother Church for 1900. One Christian Scientist who was dubious about the undertaking of so large a building project at this time, after reading the letter written to Mrs. Eddy which is published on pages 60-62 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany," no longer felt apprehension.

The concrete has been poured into about half the footings for Building B, which is the plant portion of the building. Practically two thirds of the concrete footings for Building B will have been poured by the time this Sentinel is in the hands of its readers. The corrugated steel sheeting used for shoring at the extreme edges of the excavation is being driven on Norway Street; it has been completed on Clearway Street up to the former office building on Massachusetts Avenue, which is now about to be demolished.
