Chez nous, "les genets"

The upstairs-hall's got A blue clock that morses time wasn't, time's not.m Books batten the stairrail. Flutes court in the kitchen. Pens roll on the bedclothes. Over the mantel A Sevres jardiniere Balances a monkey wrench. Opposite the bath Quixote mounted, Steams in his frame. Like as not, you will find The neighbor's grey rabbit Asleep in our wastebin. In our garages No Cadillacs loll, On their walls hang pictures. We forewarn you, our lunches May either turn out Lucullan or Lenten. Throughout, you may notice Prints, warm, vulnerable, Of the way of love.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
