ANNOUNCEMENT.
UNITY is a hand-book of Practical Christianity and Christian
Healing It sets forth the pure doctrine of Jesus Christ direct from
the fountain-head, "The Holy Spirit, who will lead you into all
Truth" It is not the organ of any sect, but stands independent
as an exponent of Practical Christianity, teaching the practical
application in all the affairs of life of the doctrine of Jesus Christ;
explaining the action of mind, and how it is the connecting link
between God and man; how mind action affects the body, producing
discord or harmony, sickness or health, and brings man into
the understanding of Divine Law, harmony, health and peace,
here and now.

THE OCCULT POWER OF LOVE.
CHARLES FILLMORE.
7 HEN love, the universal magnet, is brought
into action in the consciousness of our
race, it will change all our methods of
support, and supply. It will hamronize
all the forces of nature, and the discords
that now infest earth and air will disappear. It will
control the elements until they shall obey man and
bring forth that which will supply all his needs
without the sweat of his face. This earth shall yet
be made Paradise through the power of love. That
condition will begin to set in for each one of us just
as soon as we develop the love nature in ourselves.
When love has begun its silent pulsations at our
solar centre, no one can keep us in want or poverty.
Love itself will draw unto us on the invisible currents
of the inner ether all that belongs to us; and all
belongs to us that we require to make us happy and
contented.
This mighty magnet is a quality of God that is
expressed through man, and it cannot be suppressed
by any outside force. No environment or external
condition can keep back love when once you have
firmly decided in mind to give it expression. The
present unloving condition of the world is no bar to
you; in fact, it is an incentive. You will know as
you begin to make love manifest how great a sinner
you have been — how far short you have fallen in
making yourself the man or woman of God. This
will show you by comparison how greatly you have
missed the mark of the high calling which is yours
in Christ.
W e have all been told the beauties of love

and its great power in the world, but no one has
explained that it has a centre of action in the body
that was designed by the Creator to do a specific
work. The man or woman who has not developed
the love centre is abnormal; is living in partial
exercise only of consciousness. The love centre
has its nerves and muscles in the body which through
neglect have become atrophied in nearly the whole
race. But they are just as necessary to the perfect
man as the legs and arms; and even more so,
because with the love centre active one might live
happily and successfully without legs and arms.
But these dormant nerves and muscles cannot be
developed by muscular exercise alone and fulfill
their mission. Samson and Sandow are examples
of muscular development and the uses to which it is
put.
The body is the instrument of the mind, and no
one has ever seen his real body as it is in the sight of
God except through the mind. The body of flesh,
bones and blood that the eye of sense beholds is not
the true body any more than the heart of flesh is the
true organ of love.
The true body is an electrical body; an indestructible
body, and this body of flesh is the grosser,
vibration which the sense-consciousness beholds.
But the spirit-body is not absent nor dead, but
simply inactive. When, through purification of his
ideas and acceleration of his mental energies, man
comes into sight of the real forces of Being, this
spirit-body is quickened into new life, and the body
of flesh responds to its vibrations. This is done
through the mind; through thinking right thoughts
— and doing right things also — because man is in
ultimate a unit, and the thinking and doing cannot be
separated.
To develop the love centre, commence by affirming,
"From this time forth and forever more 1 shall
know no man after the flesh. I shall not see men
and women as body and mortal thought. I shall
y Google

always behold them with the eye of love, which sees
only perfection." Ask daily that love be made
alive in you — that she take up her abode at your
magnetic centre and make it alive with her strong,
steady pulsations of spiritual energy. Let your
attention rest for a few moments every day at the
heart centre in your body while you declare silently:
"You are the abode of leve. You are filled and
thrilled with the mighty magnetic forces which she
uses to do her work. You are powerful and active
to do only good, and see only goodness and purity
everywhere."
Many people say they cannot see love in others
who are not so manifesting; that they do not feel
loving themselves, and cannot therefore exercise
love. But this development of your own love centre
will make you see it, just as the eyes see light. It
is difficult to feel love with a dormant love organ, but
exceedingly easy when that organ commences to
exercise its inherent potentialities.
Love is in the world in a diluted form as affection
between husband and wife, parents and children,
friend and friend, but it can be made manifest in its
original strength and purity by each man and woman
going to the fountain-head and letting its mighty
stream forth unlimited by the ideas of the intellect.
Then man stands face to face with the Father.
Then the soul cries out in a great ecstasy, " God is
Love!"
The love of God for His children is past description.
A love so tender and deep that it cannot be
mentioned in the same bieath with the ordinary
love as known by the world.
This great love of Being can be known only on
its own plane, and man must have awakened within
him the capacity to feel a mighty love—a love
deeper and wider than all the thoughts and words
men have compassed since the beginning of language
— before he can comprehend how great is the love
of God.

3*4 UNITY.
But only the meek and lowly in heart may know
the depths of the Father's love. It is not revealed
to the self-sufficient, because they do not open the
way through their own child-like, innocent heart.
The Father yearns to have His love felt by us,
every one. He has given us the capacity to feel it,
and He waits until we develop it and open our souls
to the flood of good that He will pour out to us
through His all-sufficient love.
The love-thought is a mighty healing force —
it is really the agent on the spiritual plane that does
the "mighty works" now becoming so common
among those who trust the law, and observe a few
simple rules of thought. For example:
Sit for half an hour every night at 9 o'clock and
mentally forgive every one against whom you have
any ill-will or antipathy. If you fear, or are prejudiced
against, even an animal, mentally ask forgiveness
of it, and send it thoughts of love. If you
have accused anyone of injustice, or talked about
them unkindly, or criticized them, or gossipped about
them, withdraw your words by asking them in the
silence to forgive you. If you have had a falling out
with friends or relatives, are at law or engaged in
contention with anyone, write letters of forgiveness
and withdraw all proceedings that will tend to
prolong the separation. See everybody and everything
as they really are—PURE SPIRIT — and send
them your strongest thoughts of love. Do not go to
bed any night feeling that you have an enemy in the
world.
Be careful not to think a single thought or say a
word that will offend. Be patient, loving and kind
under all circumstances. You can do this if you are
faithful to the silent hour, because there you- will be
helped to overcome the selfishness of the carnal
sense.
There is an immutable Jaw lying back of this.
God is Love, and love is manifest as life. God is
thus manifest in and through all His creations, and if
y Google

we do aught to cut off the love of any person we are
cutting off the love of God, hence the life that flows
through all. When we, by withdrawing from our
fellows in any way, cut the cords of love that bind us
together as men and women, we at the same time
sever the arteries and veins through which the
Universal Life flows. We then find ourselves a
mere bundle of strained nerves, trembling and shaking
with fear and weakness, and finally dying for lack of
God's love. But the Omnipresent Spirit ever seeks
to flow into us and stimulate us in every faculty.
W e must, however, by our words and acts acknowledge
this All-Powerful Presence as the moving factor,
because we each have inherent free-will which
welcomes or rejects all, God even not being
excepted.
Self-condemnation is also a great error, and leads
to dire results. You must love yourself because you
are the child of love. If you have accused yourself
of ignorance, foolishness, fear, sickness, anxiety,
poverty, anger, jealousv, stinginess, ambition or
weakness, or if you are melancholy and indulge in
the " blues," ask forgiveness for each of the loving
Father, in whose perfect image and likeness you
spiritually are. Say often to this Holy Omnipresence:
" I do now sacrifice these human limitations unto
Thee, O Father; I am obedient unto the law of my
Being, and I know that in Thee I am brave and true,
energetic and wise, pure and perfect, strong, rich,
and courageous. Thou art my Almighty Resource,
and I do trust Thee utterly. I am Thy fulness, and
1 hy strength manifest, and I now polarize every
thought and every word in Thy ocean of Love."
The blessed promise which goeth ever before
m e and giveth me strenght is, ''Ye shall know the
Truth, and the Truth shall make you free" The
day cometh (and now is) when I shall be free indeed.

INTERNATIONAL NEW THOUGHT
CONVENTION.
BY CHARLES EDGAR PRATHER.
WHAT IS THE NEW THOUGHT?
The New Thought is the new interpretation of universal
and eternal Truth.
Cod — Universal Spirit. Mind, Principle — is omnipresent,
omniscient, and omnipotent.
Man Is the Individual expression of Cod, possessing inherently,
and capable of manifesting, all the aspects of God.
Man unfolds to a continuously expanding consciousness
and manifestation of these aspects, through right thinking
and right living.
The consciousness of harmony Is Heaven, here and
now: in the realization of which abide peace of mind and
health of body.
The essentials of the New Thought are suggested by the
words — Unity. Co-operation, Freedom. Brotherhood, and
Individuality.
The above is the formulated tentative statement
adopted by the International New Thought Convention
held last month in Chicago, yet it may be more
definitely worded after further deliberation. At
least, for the present, it furnishes a comprehensive
answer to the oft-repeated inquiry, "What is the
New Thought?"
It is sufficiently broad to fellowship any body or
society accepting the truth of Man's Divine inheritance,
powers and possibilities, yet exclusive enough
to be distinctive in ics teaching, in every school of
thought, for the bringing forth and manifesting these
powers and possibilities.
Several years ago there was an organization
known as thj International Metaphysical League,
which held conventions in various large cities, but it
finally went to pieces upon the rocks of organization
in the shoal of subscribed belief. There are many
schools of thought in the New Thought movement,
each looking to the betterment of mankind—some
purely mental, others spiritual, i-sjchic, etc., — yet

each doing a specific work for good in its own
method. Through experience it was found that the
method of one would not, and could not, fulfill the
ideals of another, yet permeating all were the same
basic principles founded on universal law. Instead,
then, of an organization, with a creed or doctrine of
its own, to which many could not fully subscribe, it
was found that co-operation or federation, regardless
of method or creed, was the one thing necessary for
the proper advancement of the movement as a whole.
Therefore, last summer in Chicago, Dr. Paul
Edwards, of the Mental Advocate, Evelyn Arthur See,
of the Higher Thought, and others, began advocating
union monthly meetings of the various societies in
that city, which were duly held and proved very
successful. Differences in the manner of teaching
the same Truth soon began to disappear, a beautiful
tolerance for each other's views, never before known,
became manifest, and the golden thread of love
encircled them all.
The following Chicago New Thought Centers,
believing that the same spirit of unity should pervade
the whole world, united in a call for an international
convention at Chicago in the month of November,
1903: The Bahais, Chicago Truth Center, The Circle
of Light, College of Freedom, Englewood Spiritual
Union, Esoteric Extension, The Higher Thought,
Illinois Metaphysical College, The Mental Advocate,
Mental Science Institute, Prentice Mulford Club,
Sara Wilder Pratt Rooms, Stockham Publishing
Co., Suggestion Publishing Co., Truth Students,
Universal Truth Club, and individuals.
The sessions were held in Music Hall, Fine Arts
Building, 203 Michigan avenue, a fine hall seating
1,000, which was filled at every meeting.
The chairman, T. G. Northrup, presided with
pleasing ability, and F. D. Wetmore was the faithful
and efficient secretary, and upon their unitiring
efforts much of the success of the convention is due.
They were nobly assisted by Agnes Chester See,

BUSINESS SESSIONS.
Business meetings were held each morning during
the convention in a large hall in the Masonic Temple.
There many who were not on the program had an
opportunity of speaking and taking part in the
deliberations of the convention.
Believing that a federation of New Thought
centers throughout the country would be of mutual
advancement, a committee was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions, whose recommendations were
unanimously adopted. This committee was later
elected by vote of the convention as the Executive
Committee to carry into effect the resolutions as
adopted, viz.:

Chicago, to its membership.
THE ADOPTED REPORT.
This Committee held its meetings on November 18th, 19th
and 20th, and now makes its formal Report, as follows:
Your Committee recommends the formation of a New Thought
Federation, which shall be international in scope and character.
Your Committee recommends, as one of the means of effecting
this purpose, ths statement and acceptance of a comprehensive
and definite formulation of the essential significance and meaning
of the New Thought.
Your Committeej-ecommends that the fundamental purpose
of this international Federation be the development of the
individual, its especial office being to assist in the unfoldment of
the consciousness of unity of principle, and its fulfillment in
cooperation among New Thought people; that this Federation, as
such, shall have no creed, tenets or teachings; that it shall in
nowise interfere with or infringe upon the interpretations or
methods either of New Thought persons or New Thought
organizations; that it shall not be responsible for individual,
interpretations of Truth or methods of teaching; and that it shall
aid and assist the New Thought movement as a whole.
Your Committee recommends that this Federation shall
constitute a "Clearing House" for the New Thought, in regard
to work and workers, teachings and teachers, and assist to widen
and broaden individual perception and realization of fundamental
principles; that it shall be the centre of the New Thought
movement; that it shall publish such literature as may be deemed
essential to the ends proposed, and that it take an active part in
. all matters appertaining to the education of the individual.
Your Committee suggests the following formulation of the
significance and meaning of the New Thought, but believes and
expects that further deliberation and consideration will result in
one more accurate and acceptable:
The New Thought is the new interpretation of universal and
eternal Truth.
God — Universal Spirit, Mind, Principle — is omnipresent,
omniscient and omnipotent.

332 UNITY.
Man is the individual expression of God, possessing inherently,
and capable of manifesting, all the aspects of God.
Man unfolds to a continuously expanding consciousness and
manifestation of these aspects, through right thinking and right
living.
The consciousness of harmony is Heaven, here and now; in
the realization of which abide peace of mind and health of body.
The essentials of the New Thought are suggested by the
words — Unity, Co-operation, Freedom, Brotherhood, and Individuality.
Your Committee recommends that machinery be set in motion
to call an International New Thought Convention to be held at
St. Louis in 1904 at the time of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. Already the Mayor of St. Louis and the Board of
Directors of the Exposition have extended an invitation, including
the offer—free of expense — of the use of such hall, either in
the city or at the Exposition, as may be required for the sessions
of such International Convention.
Your Committee recommends that an Executive Committee
be appainted for the purpase of carrying into effect the
recommendations of this Committee, such Executive Committee
to have full power to act, including the power to fill vacancies,
add to its membership, and take whatever action it may deem ,
essential or necessary in the premises.

CONVENTION NOTES.
There was one gentleman from Egypt in attendance, but we
failed to learn his name.
The delegation from Unity Headquarters stopped at " Shafer
Headquarters," 243 La Salle avenue, and were most royally
entertained.
The free literature table was well supplied with various
magazines, papers, leaflets, etc. UNITY, WEE WISDOM, and our
1904 catalogues rapjdly disappeared.
The proceedings of the Convention, including the full text of
lectures, etc., are to be published in book form. The price will
be $1.00 a copy, and may be ordered through this office.
Alzamon Ira Lucas, of Denver, represents five nationalities
in his person — German, Hindoo, Ethiopian, Cherokee Indian and
Spanish. His special line of teaching is "Health and Heredity "

INTERNATIONAL NEW THOUGHT CONVENTION. 333
A sweet little woman was Dr. Gurlie Gummerson, of Sweden,
who captivated the Convention by her sincerity and simplicity.
She spoke on behalf of both Sweden and Spain, her mother being
Spanish.
" Just One Power " is a beautiful sacred song, sheet music
size, and you will be glad for our suggestion if you will send for
a copy. The words are by Anna C. Waterloo and the music
by James Gill. Price, 35 cents per copy postpaid.
UNITY staff, consisting of Charles Fillmore, Myrtle Fillmore,
Jennie H. Croft, and Charles E. Prather, returned to their
several posts of duty filled with enthusiasm over the good
accomplished by this gathering together of the exponents of so
many different phases of the New Thought.
A very pleasant incident connected with the Convention was
a banquet at Marshall, Field & Co's, given by the Chicago Truth
Students to the visiting delegates who were present at their
Wednesday meeting, the UNITY corps being among the favored
ones. The occasion was most enjoyable.
The Chicago Truth Students held their regular semi-monthly
meeting Wednesday morning instead of afternoon as usual, so as
not to conflict with the sessions of the Convention. The presence
of the universal spirit of Truth was very perceptible, and the
bonds of brotherhood between the members of this successful
branch of the New Thought and "Unity" were more closely
cemented. A synopsis of the addresses, including those by the
Unity folk, will appear in their report in January UNITY.
A vole of thanks should have been extended to President
Northrup for his universally impartial rulings, and the general
courtesy, dignity and geniality with which he handled the convention.
We heard many complimentary comments on the
presiding ability of both the president and his efficient aid,
Secretary F. D. Wetmore.
It was the unanimous and often expressed opinion of visiting
delegates that the Chicago people were really prodigal in their
hospitality. "We were all invited everywhere by everybody all
the time," said one enthusiastic visitor, and that just about
expressed it. The whole expense of the convention, amounting
to some $1,500, was paid by the Chicago New Thought people,
and the money to do it was on hand the closing day.

POWER.
JENNIE H. CROFT.
" Mind is the Master-power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The Tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wilts,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass."
Our universe is a universe of wonders. The
heavens, studded with myriad lights, which we know
to be held in place by, and whose motion is in
accordance with, exact law, fill us with wonder, and
we ask, What is the power which produces this
marvel? We wartch the unfoldment of the conscious
mind in the infant, from the first dawn of intelligence
to the articulation of speech, and, finally, the full
development of the mental faculties. This is equally
wonderful, and again we enquire, By what power it is
accomplished?
There is a spirit of unrest, of discontent, in the
heart of man; he is constantly taking up new ideas,
new methods, new fields of labor, that he may find
happiness and satisfaction. He may ma'ke mistakes
in his choice of methods and fields of operation, but
through the experiences thus gained he learns wisdom
to choose better ways, until he arrives at the highest
or spiritual plane of consciousness, where he knows
the Truth which frees him from all error. What is
the force, this wonderful force, inherent in man
which impels him onward and upward?
Science has traced the evolution of the physical
man from the first form of unicellular life to the
billion-celled man, and, marvelous as this is, it is
little compared to the evolution of the soul. Involution
precedes evolution; that which is evolved must
first be involved. "No man hath ascended up to
heaven, but he that came down from heaven. "
This man who came down from heaven we
understand to be the "Divine Spark," the "I AM,"

the "Only Begotten," which is the real Self of every
man, and which is ever seeking, of necessity, to
express itself through man. This necessity of
expression then is the primal force or power which
is back of all these wonders, and is the activity of
Divine Man. By what means does tbe " I AM" do
His work? The "Tool of Thought" is the instrument
in His hands, the power by which He fashions
His universe. We must awake to an understanding
of this power, learn to use it correctly, and then
assert it. We must think with a purpose if we would
have our universe a harmonious one. It is true that
"As a man thinketh, so is he," and so also is his
environment. This is a part of the creed that
"Sunny Jim " teaches:
" I believe to be happy is all I want. I believe
that I was never unhappy until I thought I was, and
that, therefore, I can never be happy until I think I
am. I am also going to show you that your thoughts
have a good deal to do with your health and your
happiness — more than you think for. To do this I
have had to add a new word to the language—
' Force-thought ' Force-thought is something like
fore-thought, only it begins sooner and goes further.
Force-thought is the kind of thinking that when put
into action accomplishes things. It is the kind of
thinking that nets a profit to the thinker."
This is the kind of thought we want — forcethought,
thought with a purpose. As master of his
thoughts man holds the key to every situation, and
may make himself and his circumstances what he
will. He should conceive a right purpose in his
heart, and then steadily, steadfastly, concentrate his
thought-energy upon its achievement. In the unfoldment
of man's higher nature we find that he who
works with a fully decided purpose always attains
power, which attainment is man's greatest delight.
Power is inherent in man as his birthright, but the
soul must awaken to a consciousness of its possession
before it becomes operative for his highest good.

He must not doubt nor fear its attainment, for doubts
and discouragements are but other names for
weakness When everything seems dark and the
world seems to frown upon us, let us know that the
darkness and the frowns are in ourselves, and are the
result of weakness. In the development of power
we must put from us all fear. Fear weakens our
will. Fear makes us anxious, and power cannot
dwell in anxious hearts. Fear makes cowards of us,
and our boasted freedom and power are vanquished.
He who banishes doubt and discouragement banishes
all failure; he has made himself strong through righttmnking,
as a physically weak man develops his
muscles through careful training. There is no limit
to the power of Mind, and thought — the activity of
Mind — and with this limitless power understood,
controlled and directed, man is master of all conditions,
and has attained the secret of all power.
Dominion over all things was the first command
given to man. This means that there is no exception—all
things are to come under his control. Man
has found and is demonstrating his power over what
is called the natural forces of the world in a way
undreamed of by our forefathers, but dominion over
himself is yet to be attained, and yet he is chief
among the "all things" over which he was given
dominion. Someone has said, "Nothing is worth
the power and stature of a man but the fulfillment
of his divinest being, the unfoldment of bis largest
spiritual manhood."
Power over power is what we want to possess
ourselves of, and it is ours only when we have
completely mastered ourselves. The highest form
of power is not to use power for any selfish ends;
the power Jesus manifested when he said, "Tbinkest
thou I cannot pray the Father, and he shall give me
more than twelve legions of angels?" He might
thus have saved himself, but the purpose of his
coming would have been nullified. Selfishness
dissipates power; anxiety and fear removes it far

from us. The conscious realization that all power is
given unto us, and then acting upon that idea, will
bring us peace and satisfaction.
Andrew Jackson said, "Take time to deliberate,
but when time for action comes, stop thinking and
go in." This *s excellent advice. Right thinking is
necessary, but action must follow if we would
manifest power. The thought, the ideal, must come
forth in the word of power if great results are to be
accomplished. Do we desire perfect health? Would
we enjoy plenty, knowing no lack? Do we wish
above all things for happiness and satisfaction?
Then, through the power of thought, uttered or
unexpressed, may we bring into manifestation all
that we desire. There came one to Jesus for healing,
and he said, "I will, be thou whole." When the
Christ-Mind in us is unfolded, to the same degree of
conscious recognition of our oneness with All-Power,
we, too, may say with confident assurance, "Let there
be" and it shall be, yea, it is. Our watch-word
should be: " I am one with Almightiness."
H e who resolves that he will not rest satisfied
with appearances, shadows, illusions, shall, by the
piercing light of that resolve, disperse every fleeting
phantasy, and shall enter into the substance and
reality of life. He shall learn how to live, and he
shall live. He shall be the slave of no passion, the
servant of no opinion, the votary of no fond error.
Finding the Divine Centre within his own heart, he
will be pure and calm and strong and wise, and will
ceaselessly radiate the Heavenly Life in which he
lives — which is himself. — JAMES ALLEN.

Lesson 12. December 20.
THE QUEEN OF SHEBA VISITS SOLOMON.—I. Kings
10:1-10.
i. And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon
concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him
with hard questions.
2. And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with
camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious
stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with
him of all that was in her heart.
3. And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not
anything hid from the king, which he told her not.
4. And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's,
wisdom, and the house that he had built,
5. And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants,
and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his
cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the bouse
of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her.
6. And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard
in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7. Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and
mine eyes had seen it: and,'behold, the half was not told me;
thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
8. Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which
stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
9. Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee, to
set thee on the throne of Israel: because the Lord loved Israel
forever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
10. And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of
gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones; there
came no more such abundance of spices as these which the
queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
GOLDEN TEXT— When the righteous are in authority

Sheba means seven; it also means substance. The
Queen of Sheba indicates the ruling intelligence of
the whole consciousness pertaining to that part of
Being which has to do with substance. Seven is
the complete number in the physical plane of mani-
festation, so we are to understand that Solomon, the
Sun man, had to meet and impart to his body con-
sciousness a higher wisdom than it had heretofore
possessed.
Ancient mythology mentions Solomon the Sun
God, and modern critics claim that the whole

BIBLE LESSONS. 339
history of Solomon is an Oriental myth; that
the story represents the ushering in of the light
and warmth of the Sun in spring, and the
building anew of the temple of nature. This is an
intellectual interpretation. The intellect finds in
external nature an explanation for all the allegories
that have been written of the soul. This is not error,
because there is an outer representation of every
idea, and external nature is a picture painted by
thought. But whoever would understand nature
must study the cause which produced it — that is,
thought. Thought is the creative energy centered
by the Divine Law in man; consequently we must
understand how thought makes its forms, and
unmakes and remakes them. This is an involved
process, and the myriad movements of mind, and the
intricate structures it has builded, sometimes overwhelm
the builder and he seems unable to comprehend
it all. We are building all the time and the
structure is being added to, whether we are conscious
of it or not. Our minds grow through wider comprehension
of truths, our affections deepen through the
exercise of love, and our bodies take on more and
more of the universal substance through the food we
eat. Thus we see that there is a steady growth of
the whole man; and we are sooner or later forced to
deal consciously with these different factors of our
being, which we may have been adding to without
realizing it, or understanding the law. Sometimes
this is a day of judgment, and we are found wanting.
Solomon, the one who has been receiving wisdom
from the Spirit, becomes conscious of the substance
side of his character, the Queen of Sheba. When
the illumination from the Spirit first comes to us
we are for a time so absorbed in it and the revelations
that come to us, that we are almost wholly
unconscious of our bodies. But there is a thought
formed in us which presides over that domain called
the body substance. Its outer crust is termed flesh,
blood and bones. But the real substance is mental

and when we have been illuminated by the Spirit it
will come to us in its true light and ask for our higher
wisdom, and bring to us many presents, or valuable
substances.
The Queen of Sheba " came to prove him with hard
questions." "She communed with him of all that
was in her heart." Here is indicated the questioning
tendency of the substance side of Being. There is
implanted in the substance side of our consciousness
a certain degree of intelligence, but it is not the
source of wisdom, hence not a safe guide for man.
This is illustrated in the Eden allegory by the
serpent, symbolic of the sensuous intelligence that
pervades nature.
This is the consciousness that constantly asks
an explanation of the riddle of phenomena. Those
who, do not seek the Solomon within are constantly
seeking without for answers to their many questions
as to the origin and character of things material.
Never can these questions be satisfactorily answered
except by the supreme wisdom of the Sun man.
Matter has no real substance—it is the result of a
darkened state of consciousness, which passes away
when the light is turned on. Hence all matter will
disappear when man enters into the real substance
of Being. And there is a real substance, and within
these corruptible forms of flesh there is a real life
and an imperisable flesh that will endure. This inner
life is represented by the camels, and the imperishable
flesh by the spices which the queen brought
to Solomon. The substance idea rejoices when it
sees with its eyes, or perceives, the truth of Spirit.
W e thus see ihe importance of spiritualizing the
body consciousness by declaring for it the Wisdom
of the Lord.
Whenever a question is presented about the
character of matter, and the many points pertaining
to the overcoming of physical decay, we may know
that the queen of Sheba has come up and is seeking
to prove our spiritual wisdom with some of her "hard
questions."

Lesson 13. December 27.
REVIEW AND CHRISTMAS LESSON.
Read Psalm 103 and Matthew 2:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT— The mercy of the Lord is from
everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him.—
Ps. 103:17.
Man evolves consciousness according to fixed
laws of Being. There are rules governing the development
of a conscious identity, with all that that
implies, exactly as there are rules governing mathematical
demonstrations. The student in numbers
knows that he is not limited in the use of the
principle—all he has to do is to follow the rules and
go forward. So in working out this problem of life,
man is not limited so long as he conforms to the law.
That he may learn the law easily it is*provided that
he begin with a few ideas, such as life, intelligence,
power. These ideas he combines in a multitude of
ways, and when he has arrived at a certain proficiency
another factor or rule of action is opened to his consciousness.
This may be termed the Idea of Divine
Substance.
The development of this idea in consciousness
requires an uplift in the whole man. There is a
bringing forth of greater activities in every department
of consciousness; virtually a new m a n is born,
with the old as foundation. This new man is called
"Jesus," whose name means the same as Jehovah,
the I AM, the Supreme Will.
This man of lafger possibilities requires a wider
field of action, hence he is born into a comprehension
of Divine substance which far transcends in its
capacity for expressing mind that old environment
called matter. So we are informed in the symbolic
description of this evolutionary step in Matthew,
second chapter, that Jesus was born in Bethlehem
of Judea. Bethlehem means the house of bread, or the
abiding place of substance, and Judea means praise,
or spiritual recognition. The tribe of Judah is tha
aggregation of thouguts that has acknowledgement

342 U M T Y .
of spiritual things as the one and only reality. Thus
the substance in which the Jesus man is born in us
must be spiritual in its character.
Herod means hero-like. He represents the ruling
power in the outer consciousness, which seeks to kill
the new state of mind developing within, which will
eventually supercede him. He is now in command
of the temporal government,-and sense consciousness
is his stronghold. But he cannot stop the growth of
the new life within if we are obedient to the Spirit,
and, like Joseph, watch for the guidance of the Lord.
The wise men from the East who came to visit
Jerusalem are the stored-up resources of the soul,
which rise to the surface when its depths are stirred
up by a great spiritual revelation. East always
means the within in Scripture symbology..
The star which pointed the way for these wise
men was also in the East, and it is that inner conviction
of our Divine sonship. This is developed in
some people so strongly that they actually see it
reflected in the atmosphere, and, like Napoleon,'they
believe that a destiny is theirs that cannot be defeated
or swerved aside so long as this star is in its ascendency.
This inner conviction of our capacity to
accomplish whatever we undertake calls forth the
very best in us, and we succeed where others of equal
ability fail. The stored-up wisdom and experience
of the soul rejoices when this faith in one's destiny
to do the will of God begins to rise within, and all
the riches of wise experience, such as gifts of gold,
frankincense and myrrh are bestowed upon the young
child. These gifts represent the subconscious reserve
forces of the organism which enter into and from the
new body of Jesus.
When in the silence and in dreams we see a little
child, we may know that the Jesus body has begun
to form in the subconsciousness. Then we should
be careful and not let the subtle desires of sense rob
the young child of its vitality, and thus kill it out of
consciousness. The young child must be cared for

and fed daily with spiritual thoughts or it will wane
and finally pass out of mind, and we will find ourselves
back in the old sense state with Herod in supreme
control. Watch and pray, cultivate the things of
the Spirit, and the Christ-child will grow daily in
wisdom and stature.

THE BOYHOOD OF JESUS.—Luke 2:40-52.
40. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, rilled with
wisdom-, and the grace of God was upon him.
41. Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the
feast of the passover.
42. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to
Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned,
the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his
mother knew not of it.
44. But they, supposing him to have been in the company,
went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk
and acquaintance.
45. And when they found him not, they turned back again
to Jerusalem, seeking him.
•46. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him
in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing
them, and asking them questions.
47. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
and answers.
48. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his
mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist
ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50. And they understood not the saying which he spake unto
them.
51. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth,
and was subject unto them; but his mother kept all these sayings
in her heart.
52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor
with God and man.
GOLDEN TEXT — And Jesus increased in wisdom and
stature, and in favor with God and man.— Luke 2:52.
Jesus represents the growing consciousness within
that we are Son of God; Joseph represents the son of
man, and Mary the Divine Motherhood. These all

in evidence to the one who thinks deeply. Why the
formless must become formed, and why the invisible
must become visible is not easily answered. (Why
do two and two equal four?) It is not necessary to
explain how — observation proves the fact, and
experience demonstrates that satisfaction comes by
following this law of creation. The religionist calls
it regeneration and the scientist evolution. We may
differ as to the character of the process, but the final
results are identical. All men are striving to be God
manifest. "Be ye perfect even as your Father in
heaven is perfect "
"The child grew and waxed strong, filled with
wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him." The
growth of strength and wisdom of the Jesus consciousness
is not always patent to the outer man. It
is the "grace of God upon him" that brings about an
inner spiritual strength that remains hidden until it
recaches a certain development in all parts of the
mind and body. At first we realize a change in
thought, next a distinct vibration in body. When
the growth is regular there is a spiritualization of
some centre in the mind and body each year, until
the whole twelve have been raised to a higher rate of
activity and a clearer perception of Truth. This is
the going up each year to the feast of the passover at
Jerusalem. The "passover" is the passing over
from a lower to a higher plane of consciousness. To
attain, this "sacrifices " have to be made in the city
of Jerusalem, or place of spiritual peace and harmony.
Thus it is found that when we are progressing in
orderly steps in regeneration that we give up some
sense appetite or passion about every twelve months.
This involves a certain facility in going within the
consciousness, in which is a place of peace, Jerusalem,
and a returning to the without with the fruit of the
communion. Sometimes the soul and body, Mary
and Joseph, in their hurry to come to the surface of
life, or return home, forget the young child Jesus or
take for granted that he is in the cpmpany. But he

BIBLE LESSONS. 345
is not found, and" they return for him. This means
that we are to ba specific in bringing forth from the
inner or invisible side of Being all the factors that
enter into consciousness, because if we do not we
shall have to return sorrowing after "three days,"
which is an entering into spirit, soul and body, where
we find the Son of God in the temple " sitting in the
midst of the doctors." The thoughts in the organism
that preside over and regulate the various
functions are here referred to as the "doctors."
Jesus, the Wisdom of God individualized, gives these
doctors a new understanding of the Divine Law, and
all are amazed at the higher revelation.
This work of Jesus in the " Father's house," as it
is in the Revised Testament, is one of the most vital
points in developing health of mind and body. The
outer consciousness may not understand (verse 50)
why the all-powerful Son of the Most High should
spend so much time in this inner communion, but
experience proves that it is necessary, and those who
give due attention to it find that a certain harmony
is established, which may be brought to the outer
realms (Nazareth), and made to serve and be subject
to the commonest walks of life. This balancing of
the within and without brings about that harmonious
evolution in soul and body which is described in
verse 52, ,; And Jesus increased in wisdom and
stature, and in favor with God and man."

come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham
to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these
stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees;
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire.
11. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he
that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
with fire:
iz. Whose fan is in his hand, and hi will thoroughly purge
his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn
up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
GOLDEN TEXT—Repent ye: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.—Matt. 3:2.
A change of mind is the very first requisite of the
new life in Christ. We go into this new and higher
state of consciousness exactly as we would go into
another country. The "kingdom of heaven " mentioned
is right here in our midst, and will become
tangible reality to us when we have developed the
faculties necessary to comprehend it. The mind is
the seat of perception and sensation upon which
depends all consciousness of the things we see, hear
and feel. It is through the mind that we see the
beauties of the earth and sky, of music, of art; in
fact, of everything. That silent shuttle of thought
working in and out through cell and nerve weaves
into one harmonious whole the myriad moods of
mind — and we call it life.
There are many planes of life, one within another,
yet not conflicting. All creation is based upon life
activity,- or as it is called in physical science, rates of
vibration. A certain activity in the life current forms
worlds on a plane which we may call the physical; a
little increase in the vibratory rate makes another
system of worlds, which we may designate as the
psychical; and a still higher rate makes a universe
where spiritual conditions pervail. These are all

interlaced and interblended in the presence around
and within us, hence the " Kingdom of God is within
you," or "among you," as one translator gives it.
The physical plane of existence is represented by
John the Baptist. It is crude—it is like a voice in
the wilderness, crying for the right way. When this
mind is constantly striving to know and express more
and more of the All Possibility, where it realizes the
shortcomings of the sense state, it cries out for a
change. This is the cry of the suppressed soul,
the sin-sick soul, the hampered soul, in all who are
weary of the material world and material ways. The
remedy is, "Repent ye," or change your mind.
There are fixed laws governing mental changes
Thoughts are space filling, and the mental aura that
envelopes, surrounds and constitutes one's mind
requires certain definite steps in its movement to a
higher plane of consciousness.
The first step is to get rid of the great bulk of
limited thoughts that encumber and darken the understanding.
This is the baptism of John. This is
brought about by a mental process metaphysically
known as "denial." It is found that to mentally
say, "I deny the belief in the reality of matter and
material conditions," causes that aggregation of
thoughts to scatter. This is a mental "letting go "
that has to be applied to all departments of the mind.
In Christian conversion the sinner lets go of his sins
and there is a moral cleansing. The metaphysician
finds it necessary to cleanse his mind from all moral
iniquity, but he also finds that he must go further
than this. The mind governs every part of the man,
and a thorough reform requires that the baptism of
John shall include a complete transformation of
thought pertaining to things mental, moral and
physical. The self-sufficiency of the religionist, the
Pharisee, and the self-sufficiency of the agnostic, the
Sadducee, both within us, must be cleansed, and
religious emptiness for a season find place in
conscsiousness.

No one was ever saved by a pious ancestry. The
fact that our fathers and mothers were contented with
their religion, and theoretically saved by it, has no
saving grace for us. They may have been in a state
of development where material conditions prevailed
as necessity, and moral cleansing was sufficient for
them. Abraham represents a certain phase of consciousness
in the development of the Adam man, who
was formed of the "dust of the ground." Hence
"God is able of these stones to raise up children
unto Abraham." What we want is a baptism of
mind that will free us from all the limitations of the
Adam and open our eyes to the Christ state, with its
new Jerusalem environment, now forming in the
invisible heavens all about us.
THE POWER OF LOVE.
LOVINGLY DEDICATED TO LEO VIRGO BY EAKLE REMINGTON HINE
Who has not felt the power of love
Has lived his life in vain,
All pleasures here or up above
Are not worth its pain.
Guardian angels plant the seed
We cherish in our breast;
For weal or woe the plant must grow
Toward the one we love the best.
As the sunflower turns upon its stem
Ever towards the sun.
So will a child in danger then
To mother quickly run.
Many may call, but nature's law
On earth, so it is above,
He who is strong the weak must draw —
That is the power of love.
Love is the chain that binds the race
Together man to man;
The rich and poor alike can trace
The heavenly command:
"Do unto others as you would
They should do unto you,"
This is the truest, deepest good,
Believe me, it is true.
This is the power, the mighty power,
The power of love on earth,
And it should teach us every hour
To give each man his worth.
Many we are, but all akin,
Sons of one God above.
To save another soul from sin —
That is the power of love.

PERSONAL LOVE vs. UNIVERSAL
LOVE.
ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY.
349
]HERE is one difficulty which I have
observed all New Thought students suffer.
It is, perhaps, the hardest experience we
have, but, fortunately, it is the result,
chiefly, of a misapprehension of terms,
which did not originate within us. In our language,
in a general way, every word means several things,
and everything is expressed by at least several words.
And this is just the cause of our difficu'ty. In the
old thought, love, affection, passion, express practically
the same emotion. In actual fact, the
three emotions are very different. We have called
the feeling which we have for our friends, love;
usually it was simply affection. The feeling between
man and woman is most often passion.
I want to discuss the first two, and try to make
the distinction, which seems clear to me. With the
latter, those who have even a desire for New Thought,
have nothing to do. We have all known what it
means to have had deep affection for certain beings.
W e all.know that that affection is very generally a
very selfish emotion. Mothers say they love their
children with all their hearts; they could not live
without them; they suffer torture if they are deprived
of the companionship of these dear ones. Whether
the place in which the mother's lot is cast is the best
for the child's development, is a matter of slight
importance. The mother cannot live without her
child.
W e have all known this affection, and all suffered
through it, and yet some of us still cling to it. Then
must we conclude that human affection is wrong?
W e turn to our teachers, we read of non-attachment,
of universal love, of the impersonal, and to our
poor sorrowing hearts comes the revelation for the

first time that our love was selfish. Selfish love,
impossible! The two words cannot be used in
conjunction. Love could no more be selfish than
God is selfish; for is not Love simply God? Then
where are we? We seem to become more involved
at every step, and so we do till we look within for
guidance. Then we find that the irreconcilable terms,
impersonal love, non-attachment, universal love,
human affection, may all be reconciled on the Higher
Plane. Did unchanging God plan in the heart of the
mother that passionate love for her child and then
make it wrong for her to encourage that love? No;
if God is Love, he is also Perfect justice, and we are
quite safe whenever we see a thing which appeals to
us as intensely unjust, in refusing to accept it as a
manifestation of God.
So our first conclusion is reached, that human
personal love is right. Then the question arises, If
this love is right, must we have the same degree of
lore for every individual in the wide world? This is
manifestly unreasonable and impossible, and would
not be in the least helpful. Then what is universal
love and what is human affection, and wherein lies the
difference between the two? Universal love seems
to me to be more beautifully expressed in the word
Unity than in any other. This love which sees God
in everything, the love which refrains from taking
from the lowliest creature its life, that love which
knows no caste, no social condition, which is absolutely
democratic in its dealings with all creatures,
which recognizes the rights of the lowliest animal,
which is willing to accept Burns' beautiful " Social
Union," a union of which he and the little field
mouse were each a constituent part— that is universal
love. This is the truest, highest love, and of this
human affection is simply an expression and a
rightful expression.
Our destiny has brought us into relation with
certain souls. Of these, some are on our plane of
thought — these we love; some are far beyond — these

PERSONAL LOVE VS. U N I V E R S A L LOVE. 35 1
we revere; some are struggling up to this plane —
these we help. Is this wrong? Can you find a
broken law in these manifestations? I think not,
And is this all of human affection? This is the sum
total of it. Then wherein lies the sin? In just this, that
certain of these people with whom we come in contact,
for some reason which we do not yet know become
especially dear to us. They may be with us in the
relation of mother or of child. We grow mentally
or physically accustomed to having them about us.
It becomes what we call a pleasure. We know that
they are quite as near to us spiritually, no matter
where the physical body is. But we want the sensation,
we enjoy the physical satisfaction of being with
them, and if they are in a position which makes it
possible, we bind them, it may be, with the silken
cords of love; but these cords are bands of iron,
wherein they bind and fetter the soul. Herein lies
the wrong.
The selfishness of demanding that those who are
dear to us must be with us, the daring to interfere
with the growth of another soul, is a crime against
Almighty God. How, then, do we reconcile these
two seemingly divergent forms of love by the beautiful
truth of non-attachment, universal love, for
universal soul, personal love, personal manifestations?
If our universal love is great enough, we
we will never sorrow for separation from the personal.
W e will know that the personal has been merged in
the universal. If our personal love is great enough,
we will never interfere with the growth and manifestation
of the universal. Above and beyond all,
our universal love will so satisfy the craving of the
soul that we will not depend on any individual love
for happiness.
In the course of evolution there is no more philosophical
difficulty in man's acquiring immortal life
than in his acquiring the erect posture and articulate
speech.—JOHN FISKE.

THE CLASS THOUGHT.
(Held daily at 9 o'clock p. H.)
December 20th to January 20th-
The Divine order of Spiritual harmony,
established by the thought of Jesus Ghrist,
now enters into my consciousness, and I
accept it as a healing, harmonizing and regulating
force.
Noon Thought.
(Held daily at 11 M.)
The Abundant Life promised by Jesus Ghrist
is now mine.
Standing behind this little nature is what we call
the soul. There is only one Being, one existence,
the ever-blessed, the omnipresent, the birthless, the
deathless. Through His control the sky expands,
the air breathes, the sun shines, and all lives are.
H e is the background of Nature, and H e is Nature.
H e is the background of your soul. Not only so,
but you are one with Him. Whenever there is two,
there is fear, conflict, strife. When it is all one,
whom is there to fear, whom to fight?
This explains the nature of Being. This is God.
As long as you see the many, you are under delusion.
H e who sees only Him is free; he has reached the goal.
Therefore, know that thou art He. Know that
every thought and word that weakens in the world is
the only evil. Whatever makes men weak, makes
them fear, is to be shunned.
What can frighten you? If the sun comes down,
and system after system is hurled into annihilation,
what is that to you? Stand as a rock — you are
indestructible. You are the Self, the Universe. Say,
" I am existence, absolute; I am bliss, absolute; I am
knowledge, absolute; I am He."
When you help a poor man, feel no pride. Is not
the whole Universe you? You but help yourself.
Where is there any one not you? You are the s u n ,
the moon, the stars; it is you shining in the land.
The whole Universe is you. Whom are you going
to hate, or fight? Know then that thou art He, and
model your whole life to that thought, and no more
grovel in darkness.— VIVAKANANDA.

TRUTH STUDENTS OF CHICAGO.
Atl communications to the Truth Students of Chicago should be sent to Mrs.
S. L. Weld, Corresponding Secretary, 95 Cast 42nd Place, Chicago, 111.
The regular Wednesday meeting of the Truth
Students was held in Oriental Hall, Masonic Temple,
Wednesday, October 21st. Mrs. Mary Slonaker,
leader. Subject, " Obedience."
To harmonize the thought of all present, and to
bring them into oneness of feeling, the meeting
opened with singing, " 1 clothe myself safely 'round
with Infinite Love and Wisdom," sung softly, and
followed at once by a period of silence with the
thought, "We are all the good, obedient children of
God, desiring only to know how to live in steady
consciousness of the Absolute Good." Then, "With
a Perfect Heart" was sung.
Mrs. Slonaker: The " Spiritual Law of Attainment,"
which was the subject considered at our last
meeting, is obedience to the law. Law is uniform
continuity of action in a certain direction. Obedience
is conformity to law. Laws are made for all, with
no discrimination, not for the few; and yet laws are
made for offenders against the law, because those
who observe laws, and conform to them, are not conscious
there are laws. No one is exempt. from the
law, neither are the law-abiding in bondage to it,
because to them there are no laws. A club makes
rules for law-breakers. A city is,an organization on
a larger scale, governed by municipal laws designed
to protect law-abiding citizens from the misdeeds of
those who disregard the law. The world is yet a
larger social organization, controlled by civic laws,
in which each individual has rights which must be
respected by every other member of society, to the
end there shall be harmony and comfort in the use of
the world.
Back of all physical and moral laws, is Law itself,
the activity of the One Creative Mind — the law of
Digitized by V j O O Q l C

TRUTH STUDENTS OF CHICAGO. 355
substance, the law of wholeness and perfectness,
the law of righteousness. If all the civic laws were
observed there would be no personal rights to respect
through compulsion, because each would do his own
obeying voluntarily. We would have no need of
criminal courts, because there would be no criminal
class; neither would there be need of jails, reform
schools or penitentiaries, all of them places of punishment.
Obedience to the Law of Being, based upon
knowledge of God and Its manifestation, means
exemption from all negative conditions. It means
freedom from dis-ease, sorrow, all * unhappiness.
Therefore, if the higher law were conformed with by
every individual soul, it would do away with hospitals
and sanitariums, maintained for those who
fracture the law of wholeness, which means the outpicturing
of the health which is God Itself. The
sting of punishment is in the disobedience. When
we obey there will be no punishment. In a family
of obedient children there are no rules, because none
are broken; but the moment a child disobeys, or
infringes upon another's rights, he finds himself in
contact with a law which punishes. The difference
between disobeying the law and acting in conformity
with it, is just the difference between exisiting in a
negative, blundering manner, managing to get through
the years after a fashion, but with little to show as a
result, except constant friction; and living in a conscious
masterful way, dominating experience, and
making it what we will through intelligent effort,
directed always in a straight line, and toward a
definite goal. The Old Testament differs from the
New in atmosphere and results. It is ruled by
'.'don'ts," negative "Thou shalt nots," while the
New Testament shows us how to obey or accord
with the one single position, Law of Love.
Mrs. Jane Yarnall spoke briefly of the establishing
of the Unity Meetings by Mrs. Anna W. Mills,
and their being continued as the Truth Students,

with never a .law or a rule to bind them, and yet
always a perfectly harmonious, loving regard for
each other, shown by everyone associated in the
meetings; showing that without by-laws there has
been obedience to the law of harmony. She said,
" Moses administered the negative laws, as he knew,
according to his unfoldment. Human nature will
break a law to find out why it is made. Jesus taught,
'Love thy neighbor as thyself.' When the Law of
Love is practised there is no need of ' thou sbalt
nots.' He said he came not to make new laws, but
to fulfill the Law. To love divinely is to know and
feel oneness with Universal Power and Substance,
and to realize the eternal unity of souls with each
other, and with the One Source."
Mr. Evelyn Arthur See: There is one authority
to which we not only need must submit, but desire
to, and that is the Truth. The dividing line
between the old way and the new is, that in the
former souls lean upon authority; while the new,
because true way, is to stand and live above law,
because in entire conformity with it. Laws are not
always what they are supposed to be upon the surface,
but it is a way Truth has of forcing obedience. There
is a difference between direct and indirect authority.
When we speak of being obedient to the law, there
is a suggestion at once of a law-giver. Blackstone's
definition of law, "A line of action laid down by one
in authority," makes the ignoble confession of being
subject to some authority capable of subscribing a
law over us. We cannot be conscious of becoming
at-one with law, so long as we see ourselves as
creatures. Obedience is conformity to the true law
of what man is. It does not limit us, but it compels
us to find out what we are; so the compulsion we
find in broken civic laws, is only forcing us to find
ourselves, not as creatures living in process, but as
masters of ourselves. We can force the threshold of
consciousness back out of this creature, back into the
region of the absolute, practical reality, where man is
at-one with the All-Good.

TRUTH STUDENTS OF CHICAGO. 357
Mrs. Mary Slonaker: Law itself is a continuity,
of action, and obedience is conformity with it, and
not a putting law aside, as is suggested by authority.
Mrs. Arnold: " Without the Word was nothing
made that was made." By sending out love we reach
every one, because love draws from all quarters.
Mrs. Lucy Walter suggested we repeat together
three times the words, " Love is the only Power."
Mrs. Meroe Parmelee: A meeting of the Truth
Students is a co-operative feast to which each contributes
her portion. When we think ol Obedience,
we just think of God as One, then as that great
Cosmic Consciousness which knows Itself, and then
we realize that God loves to express Itself, and
finally that love of being and doing is the perfect law
of obedienee which finds its source in God.
Mrs. Bessie P. Umstot: There is the outward
conformity to law, and the inner desire to obey. I
now gladly yield my human heart, mind and soul to
full obedience to my real Self.
Mrs. C. A. Shafer: Obedience suggests something
to obey. The Old Testament is the standard of the
human self, which has been the law-breaker, while
the New Testament teaches the Divine idea of justice
resulting from knowledge of the Divine Self. We
have brought conditions through ignorance, but
ignorance of law does not excuse the criminal.
Enlightenment lifts us above the law through love.
What is right for one is right for all. Then the one
Law of Love gives to each the same benefit. The
definition of righteousness is not only do by another
as I wish to be done by, but to judge another by the
same standpoint.
Mr. Manning: Every soul in the world is following
some law, either the law of the carnal self or of
the higher being. Paul spoke of a war in his members—
the good he would do he could not, and the
good he could do he would not, and yet he obeyed
the heavenly vision. Obedience is only another word
for loyalty to Truth. Stand porter at the door of

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 7TH.
Mr. Evelyn Arthur See presided. Subject: "The
Power of Man to Know God."
The meeting opened with singing, " Seek the
Truth."
The thought for the silence: "By the Infinity,
and by the Omnipresence of that which is, I am at-one
with It, and It is at-one with me." Singing, "Be
still," supplemented the silence, followed by singing,
"True Freedom."
Mr. See: In our study of Truth we are learning
the way things are done, instead of finding a new
way to do them. When we are ready for Truth to
take possession of our souls, we cannot only overcome
impatience, anger, etc., but we can live in
absolute control of every thing on the human plane.
What does this great subject involve? Not to look
into the natures in man in his humanity, nor into the
nature of God in Its Divinity; neither into the
relation between these two, but into the power of man
to know God; what that power is, and why it can be
exerted. No matter what qualities dwell in God, if
there is not that power in man, he cannot know God.
The old concept of God, and the preponderant idea
about it, is that God is a corporeal being, with
members and organs. Man's concept of self is
equally a mistaken one. The Bible reveals man's
concept of God — God a man — the God-man, a bodyman.
All systems in the world's history have been
built upon man's concept of God. Man's idea of self
changes with change in idea of God.
That which makes the New Thought new, is what
y Google

TRUTH STUDENTS OF CHICAGO. 359
takes us mentally out of the old concept into the
new. Mind captalized is God. Perception of God
deepens into realization with cultivation of perceptive
faculties. Ordinarily man knows only his capacities,
pains and experiences, not his real self in its grandeur
as the image of God. As we find God we lose the
old idea of self. In finding God, man finds his atone-ment
with God. Illumination means the borderland
of limited consciousness which is dissolved in
fuller knowledge. A new administration comes into
the soul, which teaches not only savior, but deliverer.
Man's power to know God and self lies in thought.
The whole of existence is laid hold of and brought
into the intelligence, differently than an intellectual
grasp, and above the every-day realm. The Spirit of
Truth teaches through a higher order of intellect,
called Faith, which is recognition of another
realm. We have* sought to find God in a mystery.
Faith bridges over the apparent separation between
what man knows of himself and God. Seeing God
is more than faith. Faith is a faculty through which
the human soul functions. God is no mystery.
What we have regarded as mysterious, is that which
lies between us as seekers, and knowledge of God.
God is Light. Mystery is the dividing line between
human and Divine consciousness.
The power of man to know God lies in his ability
to pass over into deeper knowledge of God, and
there he finds himself — the point Jesus reaohed when
he said, " The Father and I are one."
Mrs. Bothwell, of Denver: My idea of knowledge
of Truth is to simplify. Simplicity and sincerity are
the desirable qualities to cultivate. There must be
displacement of the personal idea of God before the
new concept can be evolved in the consciousness. In
every relation of living — domestic, financial, social,
national — whatever, principle is always involved.
It is invulnerable, enternal, and the key-note of
living. We find relativeness in every situation and
condition. Points of view are varied with the

individnal, but, brought down to basic principles,
develop the greatest charity.
Mrs. Besly: What I say is given with all love.
The way to find God is to seek, to knock at Its
dwelling, which is in every heart. Reason does not
convince all together, but to know Love is to know
God. We learn any lesson to proficiency only with
practice; so we practise Love, and so practise and.
manifest God. Love is made up of all the small
every-day virtues; patience, gentleness, charity, each
step in overcoming, bringing us nearer in our acquiring
Love, not in grand heroic actions, but in the
smallest daily detail. The way we think and speak
and act, and the way we consecrate every deed to
further growth, is the way we attain and know.
Mrs. Meroe Parmelee: The beauty of Truth is
its simplicity. The One God knows Itself. Its
expression expresses Its power,' and knows Itself.
This expression which is the image and likeness must
have power to know.
Prof. Alanshaw, of Persia: We hope the time
will come soon when the whole world will know the
Truth, and be quickened by it. God is capable of
every possibility, and acts through Its created. God-
Intelligence, speaks. If Jesus the Christ were only
an ordinary man, who lived in the world centuries
ago, I could not shake hands with him mentally and
imitate him. In him I sense the God-Principle. To
understand things spiritually, is to be lifted above
time and space. When a soul comes into the domain
of Truth and Light, he finds himself, and with illumination
of soul God is there. In spiritual science
there is no opposition, no past, no future, nothing
but God and Its created. Christ is the way from confusion
to Light. The world judges from a material
standpoint of the five senses. Love cannot be made
and unmade, nor bought. God Itself must be developed.
We rejoice in Truth and in deliverance from
fear and anxiety into the Allness of Oneness.

the way by advancing boldly without.—Light on the Path.
Live neither in the present nor in the future, but in the
Eternal.— Light on the Path.
What is Truth? Truth is practical. No mere
dreams and ideals to be dwelt on and not realized.
No, Truth is to be lived. We may have beautiful
visions as to what thp true life on this earth shall be,
and having once seen*, we endeavor to realize our
highest aspirations, whatever our surroundings,
occupations and environments may be. Only by so
doing can we in time attain to the highest God
means us to live. We are placed just where we are
to learn the lesson of the perfecting of our true
selfhood, our Divine nature, which is inherent in
every man, woman and child.
Truth may come to us in sudden revealments or
by slow gradual growth, as the seed under the ground
opens out at length into the beautiful full-grown
flower or tree, and the time of growing is as beautiful
as the full bloom. We must take them as they are,
these God-given revelations and make them our own.
Sometimes we have to each one realize we are an
individual soul, alone in God, and yet so bound are
we together, having one Father, that the greatest
individualized soul can never lose that true unity with
the universal soul. When we are truly individualized,
we shall best understand how to be truly universal
in our love, our friendships, our thoughts and aspirations.
So dependent are we on one another that
we can never stand absolutely alone. Yet there
will be moments when we must stand with souls laid
bare, open, receptive for the Divine inflow, for the
true communion with our Creator, in order that we
may the more readily live the active, wholesome,
practical, helpful life a-nong our fellow brothers and
sisters, our comrades on life's journey. We must
y Google

TRUTH IS LIFE. 3^3
not seek too much for individual growth, nor must
we become absorbed in the lives of others, for
this will not prove to be the true unselfishness.
There can only be one real absorption, and that is
when we lose our wills and lives in the Divine, in
God within us. This alone will give us power, for
of ourselves we can do nothing.
True freedom comes to us in this way, and we
shall live our lives for others; not lose them, but
live them; giving and taking and even learn from the
humblest to the highest. Let us be free and openminded
and fearless; let us have the clear sight, the
reason of a truly indivdualized soul, yet let us never
lose the tenderness, the depth of character taught us
by Jesus Christ. When we can combine the truest
sentiment with the wholesome, practical life of work,
we shall indeed know how to live.
Drink in the gifts of nature, store in your mind
the beautiful scenes you have seen, let them enlarge
and inspire your thoughts, as you would living,
speaking friends. They are all rays from God's love
to us, a ray from the glow of that great Eternal
Love, that we can as yet hardly have a glimpse of,
yet we see it all around us; and it lies with us as to
whether we shall make these great gifts from our
Father our own, and having taken them into our
souls, to the fullest we know of, give some of them
to those who have not as yet so much. "To him
that hath much shall be given," but unless we make
use of that which we already have, and help those
who appear to be weaker to have more, that which
we have shall be taken away.
Let us work and commune with our fellow men,
receive from them the truths they have to teach us
in whatever sphere of life we meet them, and be
ready to give what they lack, and are willing to
receive Irom us. Thus God will be revealed to us
more and more, and through this individual communion
will grow the greater universal communion
that shall ever grow into that perfect unity

3^4 UNI1Y.
when the love of all shall be lost in the love of Gou.
This is the true aim of all life. Yes, what we all
need is life, growth, and never to stand still, except
it be to rest on our journey for the storing up of more
wisdom, and listen to the voice which speaks to us
in the silence, the "still, small voice" of God, our
real conscience, that we may go on again stronger
and fuller of joy and love than before; and then we
shall find life a continual revealment of grander
truths, and rising higher and higher to this perfect
unity of the kingdom of heaven within us. Unless
we go on from day to day, hour by hour in faith, we
cannot know God.
The seeking germ is planted within us and the
voice is ever calling us to go onwards, to come
upwards. Listen! and let it not be drowned in the
outer vojees of the world around us; look within, and
then we shall be strong to act. We grow and find
power within by listening, by taking in the wispered
thoughts which come to us in the receptivity of our
souls. But this silence does not necessarily mean
we must be still and inactive. We may work with
our hands, and be amidst the hustle and activity of
life around us, and yet remain in that perfect silence
and poise of soul which cannot be shaken; and
perhaps the greatest inspirations and thoughts may
come to us more often when we are thus employed
than when we consciously wait and listen. The
greatest rest is sometimes found in the greatest
activity.
The greater the power of gaining inspiration and
soul food in the silence, the greater will be our
power for active work, when the time comes to find
out what we have stored up in these precious hours.
By combining this repose and activity we shall be
able to adjust our lives to every circumstance and
our bodies will become the very temples of God.
The body is for the use of the soul, and the perfect

d o whatever our work may be to the fullest employment
of all our faculties.
Until we can realize this we have not truly lived.
Awake! arouse ye all nations from the sleep of the
ages; awake to your true eternal soul life, and let us
unite in one great prayer, one great truth, where
neither creed, class nor nationality can divide us;
that we all come from one source, one God, one
Principle, one great Love; and as we started, so
shall we return to the everlasting Love and Life of
our Eternal Father, and not one, no, not one, can be
missed from this Divine Love.
It must not be assumed that because any ancient
or modern "scientific" theories have received the
consent and acceptance of the majority, they are
therefore infallible. In all the realms of art and
science, there is necessity for the individual to keep
himself open for new developments; the very fact
that "rules" have so many "exceptions" should
make one temper his convictions with at least a dash
of scepticism. The wisest among men are not so
certain about anything. Truth and Reality is to
them a composite of positive and negative elements;
error and mistakes even doing their share, in
some peculiar and definite way, to build up the
structure of Life. We learn by teaching others.
Education, as with all other things, increases by
interchange and mutual co-operation.— FREDBURRY.
Know this truth: God loves all alike. He is not
a respecter of persons. God cares for us all alike.
Some of us are disturbed in mind through our foolish,
childish thinking and acts that we cannot hear the
Voice or see or hear the Angels who try to reach us
and minister to us. But God continues to love and
care for "saint" and "sinner" alike. Some day,
we will all be sane and sober and walk and talk with
God and the angels.— FRANK HARRISON.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
• JENNIE H. CROFT.
115. I should esteem it a great favor if you would expound
the following: Matt. 13:37-43; 26:26-30, 54, 55,56. Also Jesus'
words in the 24th chapter of Matthew in answer to the question
contained in the 3rd verse of same chapter. — MRS. E. L. F.
(Malt. 13:37-43.) Jesus was teaching his disciples
the nature of the kingdom of heaven, pointing
his teaching by the use of parables, among which
was that of the tares. The disciples, not understanding
this parable, came to him for an explanation
which he gave in the words contained in the verses
referred to. In seeking the inner meaning of Jesus'
interpretation of the parable, and applying it to the
individual consciousness, we see that the field is the
world of our mentality; the seed is our thoughts,
which, when true and good, are the "children of the
kingdom," or, the thoughts of the Christ-mind,
which is in us; and when not the true and right
thoughts, are the children of ignorance, " the wicked
one." The sower is the intellect, which, when
illuminated by the spirit of Truth, becomes the Son
of Man, and when in the darkness of ignorance and
error becomes the devil. The end of the world is
the end of that state or plane of consciousness in
which we recognize both good and evil, and when all
belief in evil is destroyed by the purifying fires of
Truth and Love.
(Matt. 26:26-30.) These verses are a description
of what is called the last supper, and in the language
of symbology an important lesson is taught. The
disciples typify the faculties of the mind; the bread
and wine are symbols of the substance and the life of
Spirit, which all must incorporate into every
division or plane of active knowing. Jesus' life,
which was lived for man, (blood of the new testament,
shed for many,) is the new testamony of the
power for righteousness which an understanding of
y Google

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS. 3^7
God as substance or wholeness of Spirit, and Life as
the self-existent energy of Spirit, gives to each one
who recognizes these qualities as his own. Jesus
said: "I am the vine." Then the ego, the I AM, is
the vine, and the fruit is the result or effect of the
I-AM-word, which result is perfect harmony, and in
which all the faculties have their part. This is not
to be realized until the I AM and all that belongs to
it are one in Divine Mind—the Father's kingdom.
(Matt. 24.) This chapter is a picture of the end
of the reign of the sense consciousness which is
spoken of here as the end of the world. To the man
living upon the sense plane, the evidence of his
senses circumscribes his world. Space forbids that
we analyze this chapter in detail, but it will be
sufficient to say that it speaks of the time when man
is conscious of an inner call to rise to higher planes
of knowing, this call being manifest to him through
the various experiences here depicted. The old
ideas are to give way to a new and more spiritual
conception of life, from which we must not turn
back if we would know happiness. With this hint
of the meaning of this chapter, each one may interpret
it for himself, as it applies to each individual soul. .
116. Will you explain the following? —
(a) Why Paul said, "Let the women keep silent in the
churches."

explained in your beautiful way, the result in hardship to women
has been the same and not quite in keeping with " Love suffereth
long and is kind."
(c) Are we never going to be good enough to die, really die?
You cut off a great hope when you say, "There is no death." If
Christ did not die where is his poor suffering body now?
So foolish it seems to me to believe in the resurrection of the
body. If all live who lived, where is Christ now? —R. P. B.
(a) The church is the congregation of our
thoughts, and the will (Paul) would often silence
the voice of intuition (woman) within the soul or
mind. Woman represents Love; Intuition is the

quick-knowing of Love: this great energy, tnis
greatest power in the universe, is silent in its working,
but through it mighty deeds are accomplished, and
we are well satisfied with this kind of silence.
{6) While not a literal quotation of Paul's
words on the subject, yet the meaning is clear, and
we interpret them as follows: At the present stage
in the evolution of the race, marriage is a necessity,
but Paul plainly sees a time to come when each soul
shall realize that union within itself of those forces
which makes that soul complete, and when there
shall be no need for marriage as we understand it
today. There will be no hardship to anyone then,
for each one will be swayed by Divine Love and
Wisdom, and harmony will reign.
(c) "There is no death, what seems so is
transition." We come from God as living souls, and
life cannot know death. Leaving the body is not
death, the real self is Spirit and eternal. Let us
develop the good so that we may enjoy the infinite
possibilities for joy and happiness which life holds
for us. The resurrection of the body is a process
which transforms it and which is accomplished by
mental action. The ideas of weakness and inability
which were held in mind produced weakness and
disability in the body, and must be done away with.
New ideas of strength and wholeness must take their
place, and these will build new cells into the body
and thus resurrect it. This is possible for every
living soul, and immortality in the flesh be attained,
if man will be strong and unwavering in his affirmations
of power. The Christ lives in every soul as it
lived in Jesus.
" We should not always be in the same class or
learning over and over again the same lessons. We
should see that we advance: that we rise step by step,
using each experisnee as a means to ever larger ends.
Every goal should be looked upon as a starting point
for new endeavors."

We would be glad to give in UNITY the name and address of
every New Thought center where meetings are held. We frequently
receive inquiries as to meetings in various places other
than those listed in UNITY, to which we can give no definite
information. One subscriber writes: "A few weeks ago I had
occasion to go to . Being a Truth student, of course I wished
to avail myself of the study classes or circles in the city. I
searched UNITY from cover to cover but failed to find any mention
of such meetings. I was one week opposite their rooms, and all
the time searching for' their whereabouts. How I wish that
every circle or society in the U. S. and Canada might find
mention in the columns of UNFTY, as that seems to be the most
universal paper."

37* UNITY.
The Unity meetings of the Circle of Divine Ministry have
been held every Tuesday evening during the past month, beginning
at 8:00 o'clock in their rooms at 34 West 20th Street, New
York City, Miss Walton presiding, the object of these meetings
being to hold the thought in unison with the people of Kansas
City and other members of the Society of Silent Unity. Miss
Walton, after an appropriate talk, gives out the 9:00 o'clock
Thought for the silence at that hour, when all present have
declared for the freedom, satisfaction, or realization of those for
whom help has been asked. Miss Walton's emphatic advice and
assertions: "If you have done wrong or made a mistake, do not
add to it the error of regret, but put it behind you, for it is of no
consequence, as there is absolutely no power in evil," were so
strong and reassuring that the very air seemed charged with a
healing force that brought all into touch with those who were
holding the Unity Thought around the whole world. The Tuesday
evening attendance is increasing, and the words, "I in thee,
and thou in me," bring a strong realization of oneness and peace
to those who have held them here.

BOSTON, Mass.
DEAR MR. FILLMORE —I would like to tell the Unity
members, in as few words as possible, of five delightful weeks,
which I spent last summer in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Shafer,
243 La Salle avenue, Chicago. I went there a stranger greatly in
need of help and with little hope of finding any. Yet I so longed
to be well and happy. During my stay there I was much
benefited, especially mentally. One serious ailment which I have
had for many years has disappeared, and I feel that I shall soon
be free from another trouble which I have had all my life. I
found there such kindness for every living creature — such a
beautiful Christ spirit that when the time came for me to go to
my home, it was with a strong desire that I might return again
soon to stay a much longer time. Very sincerely yours,
— A. C. B.
The Home of Truth in Sacremento, Cat., has secured new

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
J. H. C.
DIVINE HERITAGE OF MAN, by Swami Abhedananda.
, There is much in the religions of the East that appeals to the
student of Truth, to the one who recognizes Truth wherever
found, and the Vedanta Philosophy, in particular, contains many
of the teachings which are embodied in what is known today as
Practical Christianity, or, New Thought. The Swami Abhedananda
presents this philosophy in a most pleasing and clearly
understood manner, and this"book — The Divine Heritage of Man
— goes far to reconcile the prejudiced, orthodox Christian with
what he has looked upon as a heathen religion. Beginning with
a chapter on "The Existence of God," and closing with the
chapters " Son of God" and "Divine Principle in Man," the
attention of the reader is closely held, and he must admit that
the book and its precepts are of common utility to all believers.
Published by the Vefenta Society, New York City. Cloth, $1.00.
THE NEW THOUGHT SIMPLIFIED, by Henry Wood.
Mr. Wood is a well-known writer in the field of New Thought
literature, and all of his books are noted for the simplicity in
which such great truths are expressed. He avoids abstract and
occult terms, so hard for the average reader to understand, and
presents the principles of Truth in a way which may be compre
hended and applied by everyone. Following the statements of
these principles are comments upon their relation to other
systems, and the New Thought is denned as " not distinctively a
new religion or a new healing system. It is a new life — all
inclusive." In an appendix, lessons in mental and spiritual
gymnastics are given, for self-development. We predict a large
circulation for this excellent exposition of "New Thought" in all
its relations. Cloth, gilt top; 8oc net: 88c postpaid. Published
by Lee and Shepard, Boston, Mass.
As A MAN THINKETH, by James Allen.
A little volume which shows in a clear and concise manner
the power of thought in moulding man, his conditions and affairs,
and that mind is the master-builder of both character and circumstances.
Mr. Allen is the author of " From Poverty to
Power" aud " All These Things Added," and this last work of his
pen is of the same high purpose and teaches the gospel of right
living as based upon right thinking. Published by the'Savoy
Publishing Co., London, England. Boards, 40c.

possesses to make of his life what he will — either the

grind of poverty, or the freedom which plenty gives. We are
not to be in bondage to either the thought of poverty or the
worship of gold; the dollar must mean to us individual liberty and
the opportunity for the realization of high ideals. The rock
upon which many a metaphysical ship has foundered is that of
supply. Read this little book and learn how to command and
demonstrate abundance. Published by " Now" Folk, San
Francisco, Cal. Paper, ioc.
THE MASTER CHRISTIAN SERIES, by Sylvester Arbor West.
A series of twelve lessons in two booklets of six lessons each,
embracing an interpretation of Me, and practical instruction for
awakening the mental and spiritual powers latent in man. Neat
paper covers, price — $1.50 for both books. Master Christian

The Noon-Day Club resumes its Sunday lectures tomorrow

spiritual interpretations, showing the significance of the incident
in Acts ix. of Peter healing ,-Kneas and then raising up a "certain
woman," who, as "Dorcas," had died, but was raised up as
"Tabitha." This club is a religio-metaphysical organization,
formed a few months ago, which maintains a lectureship dealing
with ethical, metaphysical, spiritual and religifous themes. It is
composed of earnest people who, without regard to denominational
proclivities, are seeking a higher unfoldment in consciousness
through a better understanding of God and man. Those especially
who love the spirituil sense of the Word will be interested tomorrow.—

37° UNITY.
I have been convinced for some time that I ought to wirte
and tell you of the wonderful sign of grace I witnessed in the
western heavens on the 19th day of August, 1903. While walking
quietly along one of our suburban thoroughfares absorbed in
thought, my gaze was irresistibly drawn and riveted upon the
setting sun. There, with two cloudy pinions (both symetrically
perfect) united at the center of the disk and reaching from point
to point of the horizon, rolled the glorious orb of day, the exact
reproduction of the symbol of Unity. Not another cloud was
visible, a solemn hush pervaded the scene, and in clear, bell-like
tones came the words welling from the center of my being,
" Under the shadow of His wings shalt thou trust." I thought of
the Scripture which says, "There shall be no signs in the sun,
and the moon," etc. It afterward occurred to me that possibly
the concerted thought of the class of Silent Unity has begun to
mirror itself upon the firmament. In the words of Emerson,
"The world will yet be found to be the perennial miracle of the
soul." My husband also witnessed the remarkable phenomenon,
and I am curious to ascertain whether any other readers of UNtTY
enjoyed the like privilege. Yours in behalf of Truth,
MRS. L. M. R.
Sunday, December 6th, Harry Gaze, of Los Angeles, Calif.,
delivered an interesting address on "How to Live Forever"
before a large Unity congregation in Kansas City. Mr. Gaze is
a good speaker and presents a practical solution of a question
which interests all humanity.
The Unity Sunday School of Kansas City will hold
Christmas exercises at Unity Headquarters on Christmas Eve.
There will be a short program presen:ed after which all the
young people will be delighted with a Christmas tree approriately
laden.
The services of the Church of the Higher Life have been
resumed in Faelten Hall, Huntington Chambers, Boston. They
begin at 3:00 p. m. Horatio W. Dresser, and the former pastor,
Helen Van Anderson, have been the speakers up to the present.
We are promised the pleasure soon of an address by Helen
Van Anderson, author of "The Right Knock," "The Journal of
a Live Woman," "The Story of Teddy," etc., on her way to the
Pacific coast.
"Directions for Beginners in Practical Christianity, with
Six Days' Course of Treatment" has been the means of healing
many people. It is a concentration of Truth. Ten cents each.

Contents:
The Search for Unity; Recent Tendencies; A New
Study of Religion; Primitive Beliefs; The Larger Faith;
Lines of Approach; The Spiritual Vision; The Practical
Idealism of Plato; Plotinus and Spinoza; The Optimism of
Leibniz; The Method of Emerson; Philosophy; Berkeley's
Idealism; The Eternal Order; Evolution; Lower and Higher;
Christianity; The Idea of God; Constructive Idealism.
This new volume is a study of various conceptions of
the religious life and the divine order. The aim is to give
appreciative expression to each doctrine, then estimate
in relation to the standards of philosophical idealism. The
style is clear and untechnical, and the practical problems
J of daily life are constantly under consideration. In method, J
T scope, and thought this volume is much more compre- X
hensive and has matured more slowly than any previous J
work by the same author. It will appeal to a wide class of
readers, since its aim is to unite in a single system the
profoundest interests of religion, philosophy, and practical
life. The concluding chapter contains an outline of the
system of thought underlying the entire series of volumes.
