In
the leading editorial of the first issue of The Christian Science Monitor its Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, enunciated the policy of the new publication in a brief statement.

of us who have had the inestimable privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School since we were quite small, and who should now be ready to take our place in the world as young men and women, relying on our understanding of God to heal us, protect us, and guide our activities, may be asking ourselves, Are we certain that the truths we have been brought up with are really responsible for our good health and happiness?
