The New Day is the official newspaper of Father Divine's Peace Mission movement, the interracial religious-communal body that Father Divine led out of Harlem in the Depression years. Its pages carry the movement's signature greeting of 'PEACE,' the advertising of the Mission's own cooperative businesses along Harlem and Park Avenue, and Father Divine's first-person addresses to his 'co-workers' preaching meekness, kindness and hospitality. A prosperity-and-abundance vocabulary of 'success' and 'demonstration' runs through it, but as the positive-confession teaching of the Peace Mission rather than as generic New Thought. It is best read as the devotional and community organ of a distinctive American religious movement. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
