The Leaflet was the little house-organ of the Central New York Spiritual Camp at Freeville, launched in January 1897 chiefly to advertise the camp — its officers, speakers, hall, and reduced camp-season rail fares — and to cultivate a 'home-like feeling' among prospective attendees. It is a document of the Spiritualist camp-meeting movement rather than of Spiritualist doctrine, framing the groves as 'God's first temples' and locating spiritual inspiration in the 'magnetic forces' and aura of nature. It explicitly disclaims any ambition to rival the established Spiritual papers, keeping its matter short, gossipy, and camp-centered. As such it belongs with the summer-camp community organs of American Spiritualism. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
