The Christian Science Monitor

HON. FRANCES PORTER

In The Christian Science Monitor one day there appeared an article on France and Morocco. This article dealt with the problem of teaching agriculture to the Moors. It pointed out how, realizing the impossibility of teaching them to change at once their antiquated implements for the wonderful modern ones, the French had begun by improving those already in use and led them gradually to understand the benefit of coming up to date along agricultural lines. This struck me as being so like what Mrs. Eddy has done for the world in giving it that wonder of modern wonders, The Christian Science Monitor.

Some people may not be as yet ready to accept or to recognize the value of the metaphysical process by which harmony, health, and peace are brought into experience through Christian Science, but all can understand a daily newspaper. So Mrs. Eddy has given to the world a daily newspaper, an example of improved journalism, which tells the news in a wholesome, unsensational way, and also tells of the good, great, and courageous efforts and achievements of people all over the world. The reading of this paper teaches mankind to realize more and still more the great possibilities and probabilities of betterment that lie within the reach of all. In the further seeking which is thus encouraged, may they not find their needs progressively met through the other Christian Science literature, finally becoming earnest students of all Mrs. Eddy's writings?

Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of the wise distribution of The Christian Science Monitor. In order to be successful in this work, we must first learn to love and appreciate the paper ourselves. There is something anomalous in the position of one who perhaps merely glances through the Monitor and tells another it is a paper well worth reading. If he is saying what he does not heartily believe to be true because he has not carefully read it himself, his words will carry little conviction.
