In early June, to my delight, The grosbeak, lazy acolyte, Encourages his languid mate With songs that bubble in a spate Of notes, nest-building to incite. She listens and, soft eyes on him, Constructs a loose nest on a limb, Inspired by her ardent knight In early June. Her knight then, with his rosy breast, Takes turnabout upon the nest. He softly sings, and little knows, That through the nest his bright vest shows; So sure his home none will molest In early June.
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.
