A wholesome book which gives plainly most sensible advice on the methods to be pursued to make practical and effective the principles of New Thought. The chapter on "Practical SelfHealing" is worth the price of the book. The atmosphere of the whole book is bracing, and the reader is led to desire to prove by practice the inspiring statements of vital truth. THE EDINBURGH LecturES ON MENTAL SCIENCE. By Judge G. Troward. Published by the Arcane Book Concern, Chicago, Ill. Paper, price, 25 cents. This book has attracted much favorable attention in England and America, and we gladly welcome this American edition which will place the book within the reach of many who need its teachings. The import duty on books put the price of the English edition up to 75 cents, but we note that this lower price does not lower the style or quality of the book. Judge Troward writes from a lofty spiritual conception and with convincing logic of the real inner meaning of the laws governing the action of the mind, and he is perfectly sane in his conclusions. We take pleasure in recommending this book to our readers. OUR MENTAL CHILDREN. By Lily L. Allen. Published by the Light of Reason office, Ilfracombe, England. Cloth, 42 pages; price not given, but we presume it to be 50 cents. This is a book dealing with thought forces and their influence on life, and takes the ground that our thoughts are our children. The word pictures are beautiful and the mental imagery is fine as it sets forth our mental children, as Kindness, Purity, Mercy and Love. We are clearly told that we people cur minds with just the kind of children that we will, and may call to us the joy child or the reverse just as we determine, Mrs. Allen, like her husband, James Allen, has perfect mental children, and also the happy faculty of presenting them to the public in a most inspiring manner. We always welcome a new book from this gifted pair. HOW TO RENEW AND BEAUTIFY THE BODY. By Mary Ellen Scott. Published by the author at Preblo, Colo. Paper, price, 25 cents. A good little booklet which proves that we are masters of our bodies, and can make them obey the word of command. Beauty of face and form should be cultivated, and a number of creative thought formulas are given as aids in this direction. THE SECRET OF HUMAN UNFOLDMENT. By Edgar Wallace Conable. Published by the Author, San Diego, Cal. Paper, price, 50 cents. This is the second revised edition of this booklet which claims to teach "How to inbreathe to the seven vital centers of the body for physical and spiritual exaltation." Mr. Conable's arrangement of the seven vital centers of consciousness in the body is somewhat different from other writers. IN TUNE WITH YOURSELF. By Emma Excell-Lynn. Published by the author at Akron, Ohio. Cloth, price, $1.00. The writer states that this is the best book that she has yet written, and we find many helpful teachings within its pages. There are charts, exercises, and some astrology interwoven in the seven, lessons which comprise the book. The author favors the use of means to accomplish healing, but further states that " they never heal,' it is the thought which creates and the thought which heals disease. This is equivalent to saying that “according to your faith be it unto you." If you have faith in remedies, they heal: If you have faith in God you are healed. The influence of water, food and exercise is shown to be the most effective in governing the whole man. The Unity Prosperity Dollar Class is now in progress. Write for particulars.

Our Local Unity Society began the publication of a small weekly paper Saturday, May 15th, at its headquarters, 913 Tracy Ave., Kansas City, under the editorial management of Mr. Lowell Fillmore. In the first number the editor explains the object of the paper in these words: "As the Local Unity Society continues to grow and prosper the need of a local organ has become more and more apparent. The members and attendants of the Society need to keep in close touch with the work in all of its phases in order that they can cooperate and bring about the best results for themselves as well as for the cause. We have been printing programs of the services from time to time. The committee now thinks it wise to enlarge this program and make it a little weekly paper; the official organ of the Local Unity Society. All news items of the Society, meetings, entertainments, reports, etc., will be printed in it. We ask the co-operation of all members and attendants in making this paper a success and a true representative of the Society." We feel that UNITY readers at large will be interested in some of the items in this publication, and we clip the following: WEEKLY UNITY, containing all items of interest to the Society, reports, readings, etc., will be mailed to any address fifty-two times a year for $1.00. The Unity Building is open daily. from 8 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night, and visitors are always welcome. No church building is more thoroughly used than the Unity Building. All parts of it are in use every day. THE SIGNS THAT FOLLOW for May-June is out now. This edition is 25000, an extra supply having been printed for distribution. Every member of the Unity Society is requested to pass them along. Those who graduate from the Unity Correspondence School will be fitted for teaching Truth. Three hundred members are already taking the lessons. The last issue of the WEEKLY UNITY contained a short mention of the large amount of free literature sent out from this Center, upon reading which, one of our good friends contributed $2.50 to the fund. Now, some more hungry souls will be fed with the words of Truth. May other hearts be moved to help on this good work. REPORT OF PROSPERITY DOLLAR CLASS OF NOVEMBER-DECEMBER, 1908 The class by Mr. and Mrs. Fillmore, which closed Friday night, had students from the four corners of the earth. Denmark, England, France, Mexico and Canada were represented. The student from Old Mexico, Ogarita Hatfield, is a member of the original race of this continent, the Aztec, and is patriotic in her acknowledgment of the distinction. In addition to the oral lessons she took the Unity Correspondence Course and completed three of the lessons while here. In the June UNITY her second lesson is printed under the title, Christ the Only Begotten of the Father." THE WOMAN'S AUXILIARY The Woman's Auxiliary was organized in April, 1905, for the purpose of sustaining and advancing, so far as woman's work would permit, the efforts of the Unity Society of Practical Christianity, and the organization has been called the right hand of the Society which has achieved such great successs in establishing this flourishing Center of Truth. The Auxiliary has devoted its energies principally to the furnishing and beautifying of Unity Building, and some statistics of what has been accomplished may prove of interest. First, we will note that in the early days of the organization various methods were resorted to, to gain money for the purposes of the Auxiliary. Bazars, suppers, lectures, etc., were given, but as the Principles of Truth were put into practical application, it was seen there was a better way to obtain the same result, and the members resolved to depend absolutely upon the Power of the Word for their prosperity. The Auxiliary originated the plan of giving each member a dime at each monthly meeting, and over this dime was spoken the word of increase in the name of the Lord, and the women were asked to bring in at the next meeting all the increase which came to them. The results were so gratifying that later the Society of Practical Christianity adopted the same method, except that they gave out dollars instead of dimes. It has been proved that it shall be unto us according to our faith and Word. The following are some of the things done by the Woman's Auxiliary from April, 1905 to January, 1909. Many expenditures are omitted: Furnishings for auditorium and parlor Decorating walls of back rooms To Building fund $919.60 "and lower 269.09 265.00 178.53 $1,632.13 Balance on Piano and for Pianist UNITY GUILD The young people of the Unity Society of Practical Christianity, realizing that much good might be accomplished through united efforts, met in January, 1907, for the purpose of organizing a Society, the object of which was the promotion of every movement advanced by the Unity Society. The charter members of this Society consisted of Mrs. Croft's Sunday School class, and they adopted the name of "Unity Guild." At first the Guild promoted the Pipe Organ Fund, but since the gift of the beautiful Aeolian Orchestrelle to the Unity Society, they have made donations to the Building Fund. |
