A UNIVERSAL VIEW-POINT

E. TRENT TALIAFERRO.

For some time after the Monitor first came into our home, we read the head-lines, an occasional article, and then turned to the special article on the Home Forum page, as with our regular Science reading, the daily papers, and the weekly and monthly magazines which had already become established with us, there seemed to be no time for a thorough perusal of another paper.

Nevertheless, the Monitor made a strong appeal to us from the beginning. The clear type, attractive illustrations, and comprehensive head-lines bespoke the intelligence and system which characterized all the Christian Science publications; but we failed at that time to grap the wonderful resources of the paper. Gradually it presented to us more and more subject-matter, delightfully told and especially applicable to the lines of thought we were pursuing, until there came a time when the paper as a whole had established itself in the home, and we were glad to give to it the first place in our general reading.

Today we lay down the Monitor, after a thorough perusal of its pages, with an increasing sense of gratitude and mental refreshment. We have indeed encircled the globe with such a non-partizan, impersonal sense that we begin to realize more fully the bond of brotherhood which unites us with every nation, whether it be in the governmental, civic, or social conditions set forth. As we go about our daily affairs, we find that through our reading we have stored up knowledge from time to time which we are able to utilize in the most unexpected ways. For instance; recently it has been our pleasure to study the development of the modern movement in the drama, and from no other source have we gained such a universal view-point. Nowhere have we seen the question of woman's position in the world today so clearly defined and so ethically set forth.
