Opening up early enough to see The night in flight, dark broke away as clouds Traveling from sleep. Unbundled, they are free Accumulations, that when of a crowd Were night itself, are now seen to be small Soft wisps, not black or menacing at all. In fact, their puffs enhance the clear sky. Low On the horizon gloom-banks undispersed Are a rich source of filmy thoughts that blow Across the lightening mind. The early first Awakening that lasts so short a time - Half day, half still-pursued dream - is sublime.

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.
