The Christian Science Monitor is an essential component of Mary Baker Eddy's Church and its healing mission.
"The Cause demands that it be issued now," Erwin D. Canham, Commitment to Freedom (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1958), p. 23. Mrs. Eddy wrote in August 1908, telling the Board of Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society to start a daily newspaper. As you've already been reading in this month's issue of The Christian Science Journal, the Church that the Monitor serves was "designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing." Mary Baker Eddy, Manual of The Mother Church, p. 17.
