A half-hour television programme presented by Ernest Holmes, founder of Religious Science, broadcast for a short run in the Los Angeles area in 1956. It carried the same title and format as Holmes's weekly radio programme begun in 1949, in which he lectured on the Science of Mind before a live audience. The Science of Mind Archives and Library Foundation holds and has remastered the one known surviving episode. Holmes appears as himself, teaching the New Thought doctrine of mental and spiritual healing he founded Religious Science to spread.
