The League for the Larger Life, founded in 1916, was an early New Thought organization based in New York City, New York, with a chapter in Washington, D.C. A locally-focused organization, several of its members were influential across the United States and around the world.
[1] The mission of the League was "to spread a knowledge of the fundamental principles that underlie healthy and harmonious living" and "to assist the individual in the solution of personal problems".
The League's classes focused on The Bible, health and music, and provided a daily Prosperity Fellowship.
[6] Eugene Del Mar, a noted chess champion, was a leader in the League at one point.
Several organizations were represented at the conference, including The Vedanta Society led by Swami Bodhananda, the Higher Thought Centre led by W. Frederic Keeler, the First Church of Divine Science where W. John Murray was pastor and the Freedom Fraternity headed by Miss Mary Allen.
