The Christian Science Monitor: 'A mental decontaminator'

From the January 1979 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In this article a Trustee of the Publishing Society, a Monitor staffer, and a former Clerk of The Mother Church discuss the Monitor. Their comments emphasize how the Monitor is a timely response to the world's great need for daily perspectives on the human scene, and how it remains an integral part of Mrs. Eddy's vision and demonstration of Church.

"Dedicated mental environmentalists." This was C. Earle Armstrong's description of Christian Scientists "who use the Monitor to keep thought free of the pollutants of world belief and full of the pure, sustaining truths of God's ever-present goodness and allness."

Mr. Armstrong, a Trustee of the Publishing Society, depicted the Monitor as "a mental decontaminator,' while Corinne LaBarre, former Clerk of The Mother Church, said the Monitor's role is "to antidote, to invigorate, and to sustain. It is one of God's ideas fulfilling the prophetic destiny of Christian Science to bring salvation to all mankind."
