Claude-Generated Themes:   The Gleaner is a 1910s–1920s New Thought monthly resting on the Divine Science teaching, its pages running on 'new thought,' 'the Silence,' concentration, prosperity, demonstration and success, with metaphysical readings of scripture threaded through. Its distinctive marker is the recurring phrase 'divine science' — the Brooks sisters' Denver New Thought denomination — which the salience panel mistakes for Christian Science; the two are cousins, but this is New Thought, not Eddyism. 'Control' here means self-control in the Silence, not mediumship. It reads as a devotional-practical organ of the affirmative mental-science movement.
