The Chapel of Truth Messenger was the bulletin of a metaphysical church at 117 South Broad Street in Philadelphia; the number held here is from November 1939, in the bulletin's sixteenth volume. The masthead advertises what the chapel offered — Applied Christianity, Spiritual Healing, Divine Science, Unity — along with weekly speakers, a minister, a pianist and two telephone numbers, which is the ordinary furniture of a small congregation's weekly sheet. The teaching inside is New Thought, named as such and expressed in its characteristic vocabulary: one passage takes an occasion as a sign to look into ourselves and see how closely we are living to the Christ Principle, which gives the vision to see new streams of living water and their correspondence in the outward things necessary to our living, and reminds readers that they have taken God's gifts too much for granted. Divine Science and Unity, both named on the masthead, were among the organized churches that grew out of the metaphysical healing movement of the 1880s, and this bulletin belongs to that world rather than to any orthodox denomination.
