Time

How many seconds in a minute? Sixty, and no more, in it. How many minutes in an hour? Sixty, for sun and shower. How many hours in a day? Twenty-four for work and play. How many days are in a week? Seven, to hear and speak. How many weeks are in a month? Four, as the swift moon runneth. How many months are in a year? Twelve, to keep us in high gear. How many years are in an age? A hundred, says the sage. How many ages in time? No one knows that rhyme.

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.
