NEAR OXFORD, PA. - SUMMER, 1925

Pauline Burgess prepares dinner while her daughters Mary and Gene eagerly await a hot meal. Mrs. Burgess was a 'city girl' who married a country boy who loved camping. Their recreational vehicle was the family car, outfitted with a tarp. The family averaged 100 miles a day on their journey from their home in North Carolina to visit friends in Maine. Ellen Burgess Turner, who provided this photograph, was born the year after this image was taken.

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.
