Claude-Generated Themes:	The Gleaner was a New Thought monthly of the 1910s and early 1920s resting on the Divine Science teaching — the denomination founded at Denver by Nona Brooks and her sisters, one of the three churches that grew out of the American mental-healing movement alongside Unity and Religious Science. Its pages carry that movement's characteristic practice rather than its philosophy: lesson sheets pairing a scriptural passage with an affirmation to be held, instruction in entering the Silence, metaphysical readings of Genesis and the Gospels, and testimony to health and supply obtained by right thinking. A directory of practitioners with their office hours and telephone numbers runs through it, which is how these churches organised healing as a profession. The name Divine Science invites confusion with Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science, and the two are cousins descended through Emma Curtis Hopkins, but the register here is New Thought throughout: affirmative, undogmatic, and without the ecclesiastical discipline that governed Eddy's church. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description.
