NOTES FROM THE FIELD. JENNIE H. CROFT Elizabeth Towne and William Towne have been with us at Unity Headquarters. Tuesday, April 20th, they arrived and dined with us at Unity Vegetarian Inn. Wednesday, at the regular Midweek meeting, Mrs. Towne gave a most inspiring address which was listened to by a very appreciative and responsive audience. Elizabeth is charming both on and off the platform. The naturalness and poise of manner as speaker; the power which she possesses to hold the attention of her hearers and carry them right with her into convincing conclusions, make Mrs. Towne one of the most effective New Thought lecturers. Mr. Towne was much interested in our printing plant and the business system which is under the management of Mr. Lowell Fillmore, and in the Library. Altogether, the visit of these dear friends and fellow workers for Truth, was exceedingly enjoyable. They left for the South. Wednesday evening, and expect to go to the Pacific coast for quite an extended stay. Judge Henry H. and Mrs. Benson have established a permanent Center in Oklahoma City, Okla. They are teaching classes in Truth with great success. This part of our country has long needed a work of this kind, and now that such experienced, spiritual teachers and healers are located in one of the most flourishing cities of the new state, we may look for encouraging results. The New Thought Church of New York City under the able leadership of Julia Seton Sears, has leased the Belasco Theatre for the Sunday Services, the Carnegie Hall quarters proving too small for the numbers who wish to be taught the way of life, health, happiness and prosperity. This movement is also conducting branches in Brooklyn with great success. Dr. Sears has taken Oscawana-on-the-Hudson for a New Thought Chautauqua from June to September. Philosophy, Religion, Art and Science are to be represented, and the plan is to have each cult secure its own headquarters, arrange its own meetings, finance itself and attract its own teachers and speakers. Tents may be procured on the ground, and an Inn will be opened with dining room, etc. Write for further particulars to Dr. Julia Seton Sears, No. 1, Carnegie Hall, New York City. The Church of the Higher Life, Boston, Mass., Rev. Lucy C. McGee, minister, has at last found an ideal home, The rooms of the New England Women's Club in the new Chauncy Hall Building, Copley Square, have been secured, and the members of the Church are rejoicing in the good which has come to them. Mrs. Sophia Van Marter, Mr. G. E. Gleason and Mr. Charles Fillmore were elected members of the Board of Directors of the Unity Society of Practical Christianity. Mr. W. G. Haseltine, who has been President of the Society for seven years has resigned and Mr. Daniel Hoagland has been elected to fill the office. C. H. Gates has been elected Vice-President, Mr. A new Center under the name of "Unity Branch of Practical Christianity" has been established in Decatur, Ill. This is a result of the work of Prof. LeRoy Moore, who has been teaching and lecturing in that city, and who organized the Center April 16th. Meetings are held every Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Sarah A. Kelley, 329 E. Herkimer Street, with Mrs. M. M. Shoff as leader. Much enthusiasm is reported and great good will follow. Mrs. R. P. Williams of our Branch Library in San Jose, Cal., is teaching most acceptably a class which is constantly increasing in numbers and interest. It is this sort of work carried on in connection with the usual Library work which make these Library Centers a powerful factor for good. The Immanuel Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., has changed its name to "The First Divine Science Church." Many people confused the name "Immanuel" with the healing movement known as the Emmanuel Movement, and for this reason the change in name is made. We note with pleasure that Miss Edith A. Martin, 127 Dwight St., New Haven, Conn., is teaching a class which is very enthusiastic and eager for the Truth. Miss Martin is an experienced teacher, loves her work, and is most successful in it. Dr. Alice B. Stockham is now located at Niagara Falls Centre, Ont., and is establishing a Center from which teachers and lecturers may go out to the many neighboring towns, following the command of Jesus to Heal the sick, cast out demons," and point the way to eternal living. Our friend, Mrs. Marjorie G. Eastman, is now associated with Dr. Stockham. Work and workers are founded in Love and consecrated to the service of Love. Mrs. May A. Wiggin, of the Home of Truth in San Francisco, will be in charge of the Los Angeles Home of Truth during the month of May. Annie Rix Militz, of the Los Angeles Home, will be at the San Francisco Home during that time. Mrs Militz organized the Homes of Truth on the Pacific Coast, and occasionally visits the different Centers to teach and encourage with her presence. CHARLES FILLMORE, Editor.

TESTIMONY OF APPRECIATION To W. G. Haseltine by the Unity Society of Kansas City To All; Greeting: Having received the resignation of our President, William G. Haseltine, we the undersigned Board of Directors and Members of the Unity Society of Practical Christianity, of Kansas City, Mo., in our Sunday morning Assembly, May 2d, 1909, hereby express our appreciation of his long and efficient service as a Director and President of the Board of this Society. William G. Haseltine was our first President, having been elected at the organization of the Unity Society of Practical Christianity, January 10th, 1902, and has been continuously re-elected to that office ever since. We owe much to his efforts in the erection of this comfortable building, as he was one of the most active members of our Building Committee during its construction, and gave liberally of his time and money. Mr. Haseltine has always had the success of this Society very close to his heart, and his faith in the principles which it promulgates has been unbounded. Every move for the furtherance of this work has always found in him a prompt and energetic supporter, ard he has originate many plans for the benefit of the Society and its Officers. We appreciate all these benefits and desire in this letter and testimonial to express our gratitude and thankfulness to Mr. Haseltine, and to God, the Source of All-Good. As ye have given, so shall it be given to you again, good gifts, heaped up, pressed down and running over. (Signed by members and Board of the Unity Society.) The Unity Correspondence School will instruct you in the Science of Being and Christian Healing on your own terms; all that is required is your earnest desire to know the Truth, and a certain application in studying the lessons. Every member of the Unity Society should be a subscriber to our magazine UNITY. You cannot keep up your Spiritual growth unless you feed your mind with Spiritual food. Another Unity Prosperity Dollar Class has been started, Write to us for particulars. UNITY SOCIETY, Prosperity Department, 913 Tracy Ave., Kansas City, Mo. Unity Society Correspondence School In response to a wide-spread demand we have arranged to give lessons in Christian Healing and the true science of Christianity by correspondence. The first course will be primary and will consist of twelve lessons. Each lesson is to be copied by the student. The object of this is to impress the truth on the mind more firmly than study alone will do. The student will be expected to go over each lesson until he feels competent to answer certain questions on the points involved; such answers to be evidence of his understanding. These questions will be sent from this Center as soon as the student advises us of his readiness to answer them. If the answers are not satsfactory, we will point out the errors and require further study. This system will be continued until all the points in the twelve lessons are understood and can be set forth by the student in his own language. The time required to take the lessons cannot be stated. Some students may get the understanding in a few months, while others will take longer. This teaching is not theology, nor is it founded on any written authority. It is the Science of Mind and when once understood reveals to the student the Truth lying back of all religions. Those who complete the Primary Course can take the Advanced Course, if they wish to enter the ministry. This school is authorized by the state to issue diplomas to its graduates, giving them power to perform the duties of Christian ministers - diplomas are issued to both men and women. This work is sustained by the freewill offerings of its students. We ask each student to sign an agreement to give as he is moved by the Spirit of Justice. These lessons will give every student a training in the demonstration of prosperity, as well as health, and with each lesson he will manifest the teaching in health, harmony and understanding. Hence we shall not ask one to give according to his ability, because that may be limited, but according to the supply which the Law will open to all who are faithful to the teaching.

All telegrams for healing should be addressed to UNITY SOCIETY, 913 Tracy Ave., Kansas City, Mo. Cable address, "UNITY, Kansas City." |
