The Christian Science Monitor—evidence of God's love for the world

BEULAH M. ROEGGE

God is always blessing the world and all that are in it. Agents, avenues, and instruments of His blessing abound. The Christian Science Monitor not only records these blessings but is itself an avenue and agent, a mighty instrument for God's beneficence reaching earth.

The Monitor came when there was a crying need for more accurate, more sufficient reporting of earth's scenes. Then as now, thoughtful people were hungry not only to see their own and their neighbors' motives and works in a fairer, more honest light, but also to know of the wider world—to know enough to embrace and love it, to expose evil where exposure was necessary, to help change what needed changing, and so to progress together.

The glory of the true spiritual man, and the possibilities for mankind and womankind to reach new heights of accomplishment and permanent dominion over material evils, were being glimpsed. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, had been preaching and teaching this Science of man. Her profound understanding of God as the Father-Mother of all, the divine Principle of the universe, the pure source and undefilable substance of all true identity, was being transmitted to eager pupils. And they were reaching out for higher, fuller lives. The meanness and narrowness so often heralded as the confines of their world needed to be exposed as destructible error, and the goodness burgeoning forth in the world, to be chronicled.
