CHRIST'S CHTECH—The scaffolding and hoarding having
been removed from the front of the new church in King-
street, the handsome structure is revealed in its beauty.
It is a noble ornament to the corner of Kiag-street and
Park-street, and in the character of its material, white
stone, and the solidity of its construction it fairly well
nuttches the Eye Infirmary adjoining, and the two
.give
the impression of one very fine building, at first iught.
The style of the windows and the colour of the pointing
show differences sufficient to distinguish the two.
FISIETDI.I SMARTIES LITERATI:EL —MT. It. FAwards,
senior M.P. for Weymouth. has presented to the Working
Men's Club five blue books relating to Friendly Societies,
being the reports of the Commissioners, issued in the
present year. They contain an immense mass of valuable
Information, of the deepest importance to all interested
in the provident arrangements of the working man. The
Oddfellows (several kinds) Foresters, Druids, Rechabites,
Shepherds, Gardeners, Catholic Brethren, the Prudential
Assurance Co., and very many others, are all dealt with in
a most careful and lengthy manner, and the information
given is some of it very startling, and other of it is
interesting and even amusing. The value of Mr. Edwards's
gift cannot be estimated until friendly society men have
thoroughly, at considerable sacrifice of time, examined it
through and through; but some idea may he formed of
its importance and some return gained,
.by even a slight
and cursory examination.
