Dear Journal—It will please and interest the field to have some description of the beautiful little hall our dear Mother has provided for her children in Concord, New Hampshire, as well as all interested in the Cause of Christian Science. The property was purchased the latter part of October, 1897, and is one of the most desirable corners in Concord. It is at the corner of State and School Streets, containing an area of about one hundred by one hundred and ten feet. On this ground stood a large two-story dwelling house fronting on State Street. On the second day of November, 1897, work was begun on this house to convert the upper story into a hall, while the lower floor was to be occupied as a public reading room, a Mother's Room, and apartments for the one in charge. By adding a commodious vestibule and porch to the front, we have an easy entrance to the hall. This hall is 31x40 feet, with fourteen-foot ceiling, and contains two hundred easy opera chairs (about thirty more can be added if necessary). The platform is at the south end and is seven by fourteen feet. The interior of the vestibule and hall is finished with southern pine. There are two large arched windows at each end, with beautiful designs at the top of each. In the window at the right of the Readers' desks, is the cross and crown; in the one at the left is the open Bible, and in those at the rear is the star and anchor. The walls are tinted with a delicate blue, shading up to clear white. We enter at the side, and directly opposite the door, meeting the eye, are two quotations familiar to the Christian Scientist:—
"The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick"— "Jesus."
"Man can conquer sickness as well as sin."—"Mary Baker Eddy."
