WORDS OF NOTE

On Communication ...

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Proverbs

Communication in every form is so much a part of man as man in the very depth of his being, that it must always remain possible and one can never know how far it will go.

Karl Jaspers

* An excerpt from 'The Perenial Scope of Philosophy.'

Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures - in this century as in others our highest accomplishments still have the single aim of bringing men together.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944)

* An excerpt from 'Wind, Sand, and Stars.'

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

Martin Luther King (1929-1968)

* An excerpt from a speech at St. Louis, March 22, 1964.

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.
