Egyptian Daily Post

Through the medium of a friend, we have received a copy of The Christian Science Monitor, a twelve-page daily which is the organ of the Christian Scientists published by The Christian Science Publishing Society, at Boston, U.S.A., and which made its appearance on the 25th of November last. It was with pleasure tempered with a sense of curiosity that we scanned its pages, mainly from the fact that it was introduced to revolutionize daily journalism, and while embracing the news of the world in its many departments, to furnish the reading public with only such news as is clean and wholesome, avoiding sensational piffle. The introduction of a paper of this description, which has set a high moral standard, is but a sign of the times. It not only indicates the progress of forty-three years of hard and persistent labor by Christian Scientists under the leadership of Mrs. Eddy, but confirms the theory that both men and women are awakening to a deeper and finer sense of discrimination between right and wrong.

Speaking of the paper itself, it is extremely well written and newsy, implicit and truthful in its arguments, shunning what is harmful both to mind and soul; in a word, a stylist in American newspaperdom. Another great advantage, which will certainly recommend it to the reading public, is that its advertising columns are not the resort of sharks and swindlers, and if only it can become self-supporting on such stringent lines, it will give to homes, both on this and the other side of the "great pond," a record of the day's news which will be readable by both young and old. It should certainly be accepted by all men and women who have the betterment of humanity at heart, and will moreover be welcomed by all honest toilers in the great world of newspaperdom. We wish The Christian Science Monitor every success. It can be seen in Alexandria at the Christian Science Reading Rooms, Davies Bryan's Buildings, Cherif Pasha street.
