Eenheid

A few days ago it was just three years since a daily newspaper was founded in Boston, U. S. A., bearing the name, The Christian Science Monitor. Like the other Christian Science publications it owed its existence to the initiative of Mrs. Eddy, and was the result of her desire to give the world a daily paper which should help and encourage, and carry nothing that could harm or injure any one. Love toward her fellow men was the inspiration of the Monitor's foundation. Clean journalism only is represented in its pages, and no articles which through their perversity or incorrect statements could harm the public, can be found in it, because reading of this kind only leads to undesirable conditions.

Is it not strange that so many do not seem to understand that it is our duty toward the great public to guard good? It was the full comprehension of man's responsibility toward his fellow man that induced Mrs. Eddy to publish The Christian Science Monitor, a daily paper that will serve mankind in emphasizing all that makes for good in the world. Sensational and objectionable news is not published in the Monitor. In leaving that kind of reading out of its pages it leaves plenty of space for articles of educational interest. The paper has its correspondents all over the world. It gives the political news of its own as well as of foreign countries, statements of economics and commerce. It always keeps its impartial standpoint and really stands above any party interest. Besides the pages devoted to public instruction, art, literature, sport, there are articles for the housewife on cooking, fashion, etc. In fact, every person will find something suited to his taste, and the paper can be placed without fear in the hands of young people and children.

Knowing its value as an agent between employer and employee, it gives its readers the opportunity of free advertisement and because of this naturally is of immense value. It also is a great factor in the world's peace movement. Through its good news from all over the world it brings the nations closer together and makes them feel more brotherly toward each other. A short daily article excepted, the paper is not devoted especially to religion, but people will find that good thought is the inspiration of every word printed in it, and that men cannot separate religion from every-day life.
