From the Collections: Charles Gratke reports
on the rise of Hitler
Gain new insights into the work of reporters for The Christian Science Monitor. Archival accounts from the newspaper’s staff portray a compelling incident involving correspondent Charles Edward Gratke (1901–1949). It took place in 1933, during the time of Adolph Hitler’s rise to power.
Learn about The Christian Science Monitor’s impactful reporting from Russia during the twentieth century. The Library's video will explore the paper’s longstanding engagement with that country, from the last years of Tsarist rule to the beginning of the Russian Federation, following the Soviet Union’s 1991 collapse. Guests include Marshall Ingwerson, a former Monitor correspondent in Moscow, and Dorothy Rivera, Manager of Research Services at the Library. She gives special attention to the career of correspondent Edmund Stevens, including his series “This is Russia Uncensored,” which earned the Monitor its first Pulitzer Prize in 1950.

Clara was on a news reporting trip in a war zone when things got scary. Listen in to hear how a simple insight from her study of Christian Science had a transformational effect on her view of "the enemy"—and what she experienced.
"Where is God When Bad Things Happen?"
Have you ever asked yourself where God is when you’re faced with bad news—and more bad news? In September 2021, Sentinel Watch lined up several guests to tackle that question. You are invited to listen to each episode in the series or read the transcripts on the individual episode landing pages to discover ideas that spark hope and to find new inspiration.
Mary Baker Eddy wrote many articles, letters, and poems to support and encourage the spiritual strengthening of the growing membership of the Christian Science church she founded. Many were originally published in The Christian Science Journal magazine during her lifetime. When they were first collected into this anthology, she suspended all Christian Science teaching for one year, urging the study of this book in its place.
