Dear Readers:

Many of you have undoubtedly been following The Christian Science Monitor's peace contest. More than twelve hundred entries were received from thirty countries, and a panel of distinguished judges selected the essays which they felt were most deserving. Portions of these essays have been published in the Monitor.

Nearly everyone who participated felt he or she had been stirred to think more directly and practically about the subject of peace. The judges commented in a recent interview on MONITORADIO that they had felt their own thought stirred in a positive direction as a result of their review of the essays received.

But the Monitor contest was only a beginning. The subject of peace and of the improvement of the world's climate of thought which would make peace possible is not something that can be given passing attention and then dropped, as so often happens when traditional media interest moves on to other topics. We know the Monitor will be bringing to this subject its usual keen analysis and thoughtful reporting in the months ahead.
