This was the continuation of The Master Mind Magazine (1911-1925) that had been published by Annie Rix Militz (1856-1924) and, after her death in June 1924, by her sister Harriet Hale Rix (1863-1931). It continued the pagination and covers of Master Mind but for inexplicable reasons began its volume numbering with volume 27. On the sisters and their role in New Thought, see the note under Master Mind. Their most notable distinction is that they held to pure subjective idealism (the belief that matter and "reality" are the creation of mind) when that belief was beginning to fade from mainstream New Thought. The new journal also incorporated the unknown Christ Way published by Florence Miriam Johnson, who continued to contribute to the merged journal. Thelma Holder, the associate editor, also published a series of monthly International Bible Lessons.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Christ Mind (Los Angeles, sampled from a 1930 issue, associated with Harriet Rix) is a Christian-metaphysical New Thought magazine. Its practice is denial and affirmation as the road into the 'Divine Principle' and the teaching of Jesus Christ, its teachers 'instructors of the Absolute,' its scripture read for inner realization — braided with a frankly practical prosperity gospel of success, abundance, and 'getting what belongs to you,' down to a Spiritual Employment Bureau. Where the index flags 'magic,' the word means the magic of right thinking, and 'control' means self-control: this is New Thought devotion and success teaching, not occultism or spiritualism.
