The volume numbering continues that of The Inspiration Newsletter/Inspirational Letters that Newhouse had started in 1934 to keep contact with her students before she and her husband acquired a vast tract of land near San Diego in 1940 for her Questhaven community. Flower Arlene Sechler Newhouse (Mildred "Mimi" Arlene Sechler, 1909-1994) was a nonsectarian Christian (almost certainly from her writings from a Catholic background) mystic and clairvoyant who taught a form of Practical Christian Idealism enlivened by all the Southern California fads of the time. On her, see the note under Training for Self-Conquest. The majority of the content of the journal consisted of Newhouse's lectures, with additional articles by her students and a notable article by Dorothy Day.
