INTERNATIONAL NEW THOUGHT CONVENTION. 333<br />

A sweet little woman was Dr. Gurlie Gummerson, of Sweden,<br />

who captivated the Convention by her sincerity and simplicity.<br />

She spoke on behalf of both Sweden and Spain, her mother being<br />

Spanish.<br />

" Just One Power " is a beautiful sacred song, sheet music<br />

size, and you will be glad for our suggestion if you will send for<br />

a copy. The words are by Anna C. Waterloo and the music<br />

by James Gill. Price, 35 cents per copy postpaid.<br />

UNITY staff, consisting of Charles Fillmore, Myrtle Fillmore,<br />

Jennie H. Croft, and Charles E. Prather, returned to their<br />

several posts of duty filled with enthusiasm over the good<br />

accomplished by this gathering together of the exponents of so<br />

many different phases of the New Thought.<br />

A very pleasant incident connected with the Convention was<br />

a banquet at Marshall, Field & Co's, given by the Chicago <strong>Truth</strong><br />

Students to the visiting delegates who were present at their<br />

Wednesday meeting, the UNITY corps being among the favored<br />

ones. The occasion was most enjoyable.<br />

The Chicago <strong>Truth</strong> Students held their regular semi-monthly<br />

meeting Wednesday morning instead of afternoon as usual, so as<br />

not to conflict with the sessions of the Convention. The presence<br />

of the universal spirit of <strong>Truth</strong> was very perceptible, and the<br />

bonds of brotherhood between the members of this successful<br />

branch of the New Thought and "<strong>Unity</strong>" were more closely<br />

cemented. A synopsis of the addresses, including those by the<br />

<strong>Unity</strong> folk, will appear in their report in January UNITY.<br />

A vole of thanks should have been extended to President<br />

Northrup for his universally impartial rulings, and the general<br />

courtesy, dignity and geniality with which he handled the convention.<br />

We heard many complimentary comments on the<br />

presiding ability of both the president and his efficient aid,<br />

Secretary F. D. Wetmore.<br />

It was the unanimous and often expressed opinion of visiting<br />

delegates that the Chicago people were really prodigal in their<br />

hospitality. "We were all invited everywhere by everybody all<br />

the time," said one enthusiastic visitor, and that just about<br />

expressed it. The whole expense of the convention, amounting<br />

to some $1,500, was paid by the Chicago New Thought people,<br />

and the money to do it was on hand the closing day.<br />
