The road uphill

This seems an exhausting road uphill;
I climb a while
then stand stock-still
to enjoy the view.
At least that's my
response
should there be passersby.
Up, like down,
was made by God.
To prove it
He put goldenrod
and daisy fields
and new-mown hay
and breathing spots
along the way.

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.
