CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SENTINEL

1898—A Hundred Years of Watching and Holding Guard—1998

The Editors

Over the last two decades, the speed at which mankind communicates globally has been causing the world to shrink more and more each day. People who have access to television, regular and shortwave radio, the Internet, and the rapidly growing volume of printed information are finding that more information than can ever be fully processed is immediately at their fingertips.

A changing world has demanded a Christian Science Sentinel that is wisely adapted to the times. You can see from the samples how, in its early years and through the last two decades, the content, covers, and layout evolved to bring the Sentinel's healing message to its readers.

Prayer, watching, listening, and more prayer have gone into each progressive step of the Sentinel. Over the last two years this had led The Christian Science Publishing Society once again to bring the Christian Science Sentinel, as in its original format, to the standard size of most magazines of the day. Beginning with the next issue, you'll see a Sentinel that is 10 3/8" high and 8 1/8" wide.
