"Mrs. Eddy made no provision for the continuance of the Journal, the
Sentinel and the Monitor; on the contrary, they cannot be continued merely
because of lack of vision and by force of human will. May they not seem to retard
and set back the purpose for which they were called forth, and which they did accomplish?
"The
Note-taker [she refers to herself and the Note-taker] was told by an honored previous
editor, who was the editor-in-chief of the Journal and Sentinel for
about ten years (at least the Journal, and the Sentinel after it was
started) up to 1902, that not a word ever went into these periodicals that was not
submitted to Mrs. Eddy, first. He said the road from Concord to the station was 'kept
hot' with couriers carrying back and forth the copy for the periodicals. With such
extreme vigilance when she was with us, is it reasonable to suppose she would have
left these IDEAS, her children, at our mercy! They were the demonstrated founding
of her revelation, and found their home and heavenly rest with her in Mind!"
From
"AS IT IS, By A Loyal Christian Scientist," by Alice Orgain, 1932.
Therefore,
Mrs. Eddy forbade the continued publishing of all her periodicals, including the
Monitor, and public lectures (another form of literature) after she left us and
was no longer available to verify the copy. The only periodical, if such it is called,
that she allowed to continue, is the Quarterly --- the trustees of the CSPS
have control over that only.
