Not all Christian Scientists who become students at colleges and universities realize the privilege which they may have, if there are at their respective universities Christian Science organizations formed under Article XXIII, Section 8, of the Church Manual. Statistics show that some college students who, when a religious census is taken, list themselves as Christian Scientists, do not become active workers in the local Christian Science organizations. They may not know all that these organizations offer them and others who know little of Mrs. Eddy's teachings.

The Christian Science organizations in colleges ordinarily have committees for the purpose of welcoming new students who are interested in Christian Science. Some have meetings soon after the opening of the college, to which new pupils are specially invited. In some organizations there is a committee to help new students to locate themselves in suitable surroundings. Sometimes new students are aided to obtain work, should they desire to earn, during their college experience.

These organizations ordinarily provide Christian Science Reading Rooms where authorized Christian Science literature may be read or at least purchased. Generally, too, Christian Science students in these organizations see that authorized literature is available in the college library and in other suitable departments throughout the college campus.

The regular gatherings of the members of such organizations are not for the purpose of entertainment, but for the purpose of promoting the spiritual welfare of the attendants, encouraging and helping them in their work. Meetings are not generally held on Sundays nor on Wednesday evenings if branch churches are located near by and hold services then. The meetings are not intended to take the place of the services of Christian Science churches. The college organizations when they meet follow somewhat the order of service for the Wednesday evening meetings in churches. Usually the president of the organization presides and reads brief selections from the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. This reading is accompanied by prayer and the singing of hymns, after which the meeting is open for testimonies and remarks on Christian Science from those present.

The attendance includes the active members, associate members, and visitors from the faculty, instructors, or students of the college. Occasionally visitors not connected with the campus are admitted; but this is a rare occurrence, since the meetings are primarily for the college faculty and students, and apply particularly to their needs.

Each college organization usually gives an annual lecture on Christian Science, which is freely offered to those of the faculty, students, and alumni who wish enlightenment in respect to the teachings of Mrs. Eddy. The older students in a college or university Christian Science organization are always glad to help the newer members to stand as earnest, conscientious Christian Scientists, who let their light shine in their daily activities.

The building of the new Publishing House continues ahead of schedule. The concrete footings in Section "B," which go down to bearing gravel, are all poured. The contractor is concentrating his activities particularly in Section "B," while the demolishing of the remaining buildings where Section "A" will stand is being completed and the excavation made. Two thirds of the concrete basement floor of Section "B" is poured. When one considers that before this can be done a very large amount of work is necessary to locate all of the electric wiring, plumbing, and heating lines, preparatory to pouring the floor, it may be seen what a step in the progress of the building has been taken when the basement floor is constructed.

The completion of the basement flooring in Section "B" is deferred, due to the building of the electrical substation in the basement where will be installed large transformers which will reduce the incoming high tension electric current of 13,800 volts to working voltages of 110 and 220 volts. The electricians are busy installing the heavy conduit piping for this substation.

About one half of the concrete basement walls of Section "B" is erected, and the forms removed; and the back filling of earth is being tamped down. The steel columns upon which will rest the floor at the street level, where the large Monitor presses will be erected, are ready; and the forms for the concrete floor are also in place. Reinforced concrete partitions in portions of the basement have been constructed.

Part of the fabricated structural steel is delivered at the Boston and Albany railroad yards near by, where space has been rented for the reception of materials, the construction of wooden forms, and so on. Subcontracts are being let as the work proceeds, all on a competitive basis, one of importance being that for the electrical substation.

In nearly every issue of The Christian Science Monitor, on the Home Forum page, there appears a translation of the religious article as well as the English original. This article on Christian Science was proposed by Mrs. Eddy in 1908, when she established the Monitor; but it was not until 1922 that translations into certain languages were first published. Gradually the number has increased until now the articles appear in fourteen languages each month besides English. Those appearing once a month are the following: Czech, Danish, Dutch, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Norwegian, Swedish, Yiddish. Twice a month there appear Russian and Spanish translations; and once a week French and German. To the above list there has been added another, for a translation in Polish will appear monthly, beginning May 25.

Schedules giving the dates when these translated articles appear in the Monitor are issued every January 1 and July 1 by The Christian Science Publishing Society, by whom they will be supplied upon request.

It may not be generally known that copies of The Christian Science Monitor containing special language translations can be subscribed for without subscribing to all issues of the newspaper; for instance, a subscriber may order to be sent to him all Monitors containing the religious article in German, or Swedish; and so on. A similar system prevails with respect to the Monitors which contain special series of articles or special pages, such as the Children's and Young Folks' pages.

In the last several years the translated literature issued by The Christian Science Publishing Society has steadily increased, for besides the pamphlets and leaflets in other than the English language the Christian Science Quarterly now appears in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish. The Herald of Christian Science appears monthly in German and French, and quarterly in the Scandinavian languages and Dutch.
