Writing for the Sentinel

When you write for the Christian Science Sentinel, your contributions play a vital role in fulfilling its mission. And that mission is so important to humanity! In The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, Mary Baker Eddy states that the Sentinel is "intended to hold guard over Truth, Life, and Love" (p. 353). And the specific motto she assigned to the Sentinel is Christ Jesus' admonition "What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch" (Mark 13:37).

What tremendous help our Leader has given writers in these few words! She's pointed to the goal and focus of a Sentinel article. She's told what the scope of its audience is to be—"all"! As you write your manuscripts with the specific purpose of the Sentinel in thought, you'll help to forward the mission of this magazine in very concrete ways.
