Christian Scientists to Publish Daily Paper — The Monitor

1909

Paper Devoid of Crime

It Will Be Published by the Christian Scientists in Boston

The Christian Science Sentinel of Boston announces the establishment by the church's publishing society of a new daily paper to be known as the Christian Science Monitor. The announcement in part is as follows:

"The current of human thought is setting in the direction of that which alone is real — the good that men do, not the evil. It will be the mission of the Monitor to publish the real news of the world in a clean, wholesome manner, devoid of all the sensational methods employed by so many papers. There will be no exploitation of illustration.

"The aim of the editors will be to issue a paper which will be welcome in every home where purity and refinement are cherished ideals."
