The League for the Larger Life 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.〔(May 22, 1916) ("Theatre review" ) ''The New York Times.'' Retrieved June 4, 2011.〕 == Mission and activities ==
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."〔Moskowitz, E.S. (2001) ''In therapy we trust: America's obsession with self-fulfillment.'' JHU Press. p 18.〕 The League operated Sunday services, classes throughout the week, and provided lecturers and teachers places to provide their services at their 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.〔McConnell, A. Moody, W.R., Fitt, A.P. (1922) ''Record of Christian work, Volume 41''. p. 163.〕〔(1995) ''Prospects, Volume 20.'' Cambridge University Press. p 65.〕 It was also identified as an antiwar organization in the 1920s.〔Alonso, H.H. (1989) ''The Women's Peace Union and the outlawry of war, 1921-1942.'' Syracuse University Press. p. 183.〕
