The Impact of the Monitor: On National Events

From the October 1972 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Perhaps you would like to come with me on a quick tour of some of the news bureaus that make up the American News Department of the Monitor*—to see some of our correspondents in action, to look over their shoulders, as it were, to see how they approach their writing—and to see some of the results of what they have written. Their knowledge of the true, spiritual nature of God and of man enables them to reflect distinctive qualities in their writing: qualities of honesty, fairness, balance, candor, forthrightness, compassion.

These are men and women who, like you, refuse to believe that mankind must cower beneath a hail of problems that can't be solved. They are in the business of solutions, based on spiritual insight and inspiration.

First, let's go to Chicago, to our Midwestern Bureau Chief, Guy Halverson. Here's a correspondent whose primary research tools are his Concordances to the Bible and to Mrs. Eddy's writings. Some two and a half years ago, he tackled a series on "Stop the Drunk Driver." He started by endeavoring to gain a clearer, higher view of the nature of man. He saw that the order and the harmony of God's universe cannot be invaded by the belief of accident. He realized that material elements cannot combine to deprive man, the true man, of clear consciousness. He replaced, in his thought, suggestions of animal magnetism, fear, appetite, heredity, and inadequacy with qualities including spirituality, love, purity, completeness.
