The League for the Larger Life, founded in 1916, was an early New Thought organization based in New York City, New York, with a chapter in Washington, D.C. A locally-focused organization, several of its members were influential across the United States and around the world. The League was uniquely composed of thirty metaphysical societies in the city.[1]
The mission of the League was "to spread a knowledge of the fundamental principles that underlie healthy and harmonious living" and "to assist the individual in the solution of personal problems".[2] The League operated Sunday services, classes throughout the week, and provided lecturers and teachers with places to provide their services at its headquarters, 222 W. 72nd Street in New York City. The League's classes focused on The Bible, health and music, and provided a daily Prosperity Fellowship.[3][4] It was also identified as an antiwar organization in the 1920s.[5]
