One of the members of our branch church told me how she had been helping out the literature distribution committee. She felt impelled to take The Christian Science Monitor into some of the local high schools. It had been some years since this had been done. She made a number of contacts in the schools and discovered that many Social Studies teachers were very eager to accept copies of the Monitor. A number of the schools that had carried subscriptions in the past had been forced to cancel them because of budget cuts.
This inspired me to inquire about placing the Monitor in the high school where my husband teaches. (It wasn't one of the schools my friend had contacted.) My husband was more than willing to speak to the school librarian, and she was most pleased to accept a gift subscription to the Monitor!
The Monitor is relevant! It is a marvelous way to reach out into the community with the blessings of Christian Science.
