I can tell you that he liked THE TRUTH SEEKER, and renewed his subscription
to it the month before he died.  It was the major journal of free thought at
the time.  

See MARK TWAIN AND THE SPIRITUAL CRISIS OF HIS AGE, pp. 277-8, which
includes a brief excerpt from that journals eulogy of Twain.

Quote of the moment:

"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above
morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."
