Some Facts About Christian Science.

Harriet n. Cardwell, Berlin, N. H..
who feels that criticism of Mrs Eddy or
her religion is largely the result of ig-
norance, has written very interesting
letter on this subject, from which we
make some extracts Christian Scien-
lists never dedicate a church until the
last cent is paid for it. They never hold
bazars. fairs, have suppers, or solicit
funds outside their own ranks to pay for
or support their churches They have a
I$2,OOO,O 900 church in Boston. The First
Church of Christ" in Chicago, was ded-
icated III the latter part of 1897, the land
and edifice costing about $250,000. Be
fore it was completed word was sent out
for contributions to cease; when 1t was
completed there was left in the treasury
about s2S.000. This fund was turned
over to Second Church toward its build
ing fund. Today there are eight churches
in Chicago, built in 10 years, and six in
New York City. There are in the United
States and Territories, Canada, England,
and other countries, over 700 churches,
and over 800 organized societies wor-
Shipping in halls. Nearly all the churches
and many of the societies have a read
ing-room connected, where the general
public is made welcome and where they
can find literature explaining fully the
work done by Christian Science SO that
there is no need of any ignorance on the
subject, unless ignorance is preferred to
truth. The Christian Science Publishing
Society of Boston, where all Mrs. Eddy's
books are published and from whence anl
the Society's publications are sent forth
all over the world, is soon to have a new
home which will cost 100000. This with
the 81 10000 900 set aside by Mrs. Eddy as
a home for the worthy but too Door to |

Alphabetically the building IS a
fine one, said Superintendent Mars

tons are abundantly sufficient. There is
only on defect from the standpoint of
architectural effectiveness and that can
be remedied. The ground slopes from
the street down to the building, so that
the ground floor at the King street en-
trance Is on level with the ground.
If the grounds were terraced down at
the curb line so that they would slope
up to the main entrance, and otherwise
treated from the landscape standpoint

Ten or twelve years ago Mrs Phoebe
Hearst supplied theN means to enable
the Regents of the University of Cal
ifornia to make just such sur
veys and secure such data, as Mr..
Campbell describes, for the University
of California, and TO invite from the
architects of the world competitive
plans for building plan capable of
progressive development for that in
stitution. AS a result of this the
present building scheme of that insti-
tuition has been entered on.
While what is proposed for the Col
lege of Hawaii is not so elaborate it
is in accordance with the same prin-
ciples. The guiding elements in its
design are that it shall be capable of
progressive development and that il
shall be harmonious with the qualities
of the surrounding landscape.
