Pigeons are not destructive TO gar

leaks are not like that of the crow, TO
enable them 10 dig with, nor have they
feet like chickens to scratch with.

An undertaking Of particular inter
est is the construction Of First
Church OF Christ, Scientist. Honolulu
H1waii, the ground Of which was
broken during the first part OF the
month Of June, 1917. This project
might be regarded as the crystalline
ton or the material expression OF a
steady and DESTINATIONS growth OF
Christian Science in the islands, rep
resented by a small body Of earnest
individuals whose combined coopera-
ton and high ideals are making pos,
sible the erection Of this splendid edi-
flee.
During the month Of July, 1915,
William A. Newman, architect, of San
Francisco, was requested to furnish
preliminary sketches and estimates
for church building to cost approx
mately $4,000 These sketches were
approved by the building committee
and during the month of November,
1916, the architect was instructed to
prepare complete working drawings
and specifications.
Reputable local contractors were in.
Vited to submit estimates, the lowest
figure being 100000. This was rather
discouraging in contrast to the more
moderate preliminary estimates, but
the steady increase in the prices OF
building materials due, in a general
way, to the war disturbance, was, oh
viously, responsible.
On the recommendation of the ar
chitect, however, the contract was
awarded to the lowest bidder on the
percentage basis.
What makes the project particularly
noteworthy is the fact that the pro
gressive construction of the edifice
is carried on by unsolicited subscrip-
ton to the building fund and the
church membership is promoting ev-
cry effort toward keeping financial
pace with the structure as it gradually
advances in building.
