Clear Horizons Archive

Clear Horizons, “A Quarterly of Creative Spiritual Living”, was published between 1940 – 1962.

Scans of each issue are available below... but first, some history...

“This magazine is an adventure in solving human problems in a heavenly way. One can overcome many problems if he can com up over them… merely rise high enough to vision the clear horizons beyond the immediate problems and all things fall into their proper place in clear perspective. One by one we shall hope to take each problem as it comes to our attention and lift it high enough to clear it in the light of God’s perfect plan for the world.” – Glenn Clark

The idea for such a publication originated from the prayers and dreams of a group returning from the New Hampshire, Star Island Camp Farthest Out. A booklet of “Thoughts for Daily Meditation and Prayer” published and distributed “every little while” under the title Far Horizons began in 1935. The name was changed to Clear Horizons shortly thereafter. Supported by contributions for costs, copies of the pamphlet were mimeographed and assembled by hand completely through volunteer labor. Soon all work was done by The Chicago Group of the Camp Farthest Out, and by the Spring of 1939, circulation consisted of a 750-person mailing list.

With the foundation for a more robust publication already established, Glenn Clark and his sister Helen Clark Wentworth began to dream of publishing a “magazine devoted to the life of the spirit, modeled on the plan of The Reader’s Digest…” and in 1940, the first issue of Clear Horizons was mailed to 500 subscribers. You can read Glenn’s complete account in his autobiography, A Man’s Reach, Chapter 25, The Fellowship of the Home.

Glenn described Clear Horizons as “an undenominational, spiritual magazine, controlled by no cult or creed, belonging only to those who wish to go all the way out with Christ in absolute faith in prayer.” The magazine Senior Partner in Business said, “Clear Horizons is a quarterly magazine dedicated to solving problems through one means and one means only; the deepening of the spiritual life.”

CFO International is happy to make these scans of Clear Horizons available to the public.
