Summary: From Pat Deveney's database:

Flashes of Truth.
A Monthly Message of Spiritual Uplift and Soul Unfoldment.
Behold I have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it. --Rev. 3:8
1940?
Language: English.
Editor: Eleanor Mel.
Publisher: Boston Home of Truth.
1/1, 1940 (?) 28 pp., "Sponsored by Love Offerings."

The issue for March 1946 (Spring issue) survives and recites the reappearance of the journal after the paper shortages of the War. Mel was one of the last active followers of Annie Rix Militz (1856-1924), one of whose Home of Truth she headed in Boston, and Emma Curtis Hopkins. In her teachings she also incorporated the lessons she had learned in Unity. The journal included "Weekly Meditations," advertisements for "Nature Food Centres stores," and uplifting and aspirational exhortations and disquisitions on "Equality and Justice."

Claude-Generated Themes:   Flashes of Truth is a Boston New Thought monthly in the movement's Christian-devotional key. Its pages braid the familiar mind-cure promise of prosperity and success with an emphatically scriptural frame — Passover and Pentecost, the cross and resurrection, the soul 'quickened and raised together with Christ.' The characteristic New Thought lesson recurs: prosperity, like health, flows from God to those who claim it, and the light of Truth fills a long-darkened room as readily as a briefly darkened one once the law is obeyed. A nod to 'Divine Science' marks its place in the wider metaphysical-healing family, though its healing is affirmative and God-given rather than Eddyite. It is a small organ of practical, Christ-centered New Thought.
