INSPIRED

BY THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

is found when many people hold the same thought there is unity, though they may be separted by thousands of miles, and that all who are connected with that unity are in touch with higher spiritual states, even Jesus Christ.

So there has gradually grown up this Society of Silent Unity, in which thousands in all parts of the world join every night at 9 o'clock in thinking for a few moments one thought, which is given each month in the magazine UNITY. This we call the "Class Thought," and every member is expected to hold it at least five minutes at the beginning of the silence, in order to make the unity connection; after which, "Ask what ye will in my name, and it shall be done unto you."

Certificates of membership are issued without charge to those who make personal written application for them. To meet expenses, we ask members to send us freewill offerings, as no charge is made for any service we render. This Society has been in existence about nineteen years, and has over 16,000 registered members. Through its ministry thousands have been healed mentally and physically, and its power grows stronger day by day. The silent hour is 9 p. m., your local time. The Spirit will adjust geographical differences.

Beginners usually have a great many questions to ask, and they require a course of lessons and reading. To such we recommend the Lessons in Truth," by H. Emilie Cady. Cloth, $1.00; paper, 50 cents.

UNITY is published monthly, and contains a large amount of instruction. The price of it is $1.00 per year. Where members take UNITY and the "Cady Lessons" together we make a rate of $1.35 for both. THE SIGNS THAT FOLLow is the special messenger of this Society, and all members should read it. Subscription price, freewill offerings.

Absent healing is just as effective as present healing. We treat people in all parts of the world, also in the next block, without seeing them. People here in the city call us by 'phone and get relief quickly. We can be reached day and night by letter, telegraph or telephone. Give name of patient and trouble, in telegram.

The Unity Tract Society is the business department, and the Society of Silent Unity is the healing department. Please keep this in mind, and do not send messages to the two departments in one letter. By complying with this request you will avoid delay in receiving answers to your letters, and will also lighten our work.

The simple written request to be enrolled a member of the Silent Unity Society is all that is required to join with us. Address

[Held daily at 9 p. m.]

THE Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

PROSPERITY THOUGHT

[Held daily at 12 m.]

MY faith is established in Thee as the very substance of all that I desire.

MY HEAVEN

EMMA FISK-SMITH

I love to rest in my Father's care,
To know he is keeping me everywhere;
His love revealed at each step I see;
Like brooding wings it is covering me.

I love to know that where'er I roam
My Father's bosom is still my home;
His presence comforts me all the while,
And sunshine beams in his tender smile.

I love to feel that my Father's will
Is always good, and I fear no ill;
All mine is his, and all his is mine.
And so I walk in this faith divine.

I love to enter his secret place
Where dwells the light of my Father's face;
To hear his voice in the silence sweet,
And learn my tasks at his blessed feet.

I love to abide in his kingdom dear,
And find its portals of pearl are here;
That now an entrance is freely gi ven-
To be in God is to be in heaven,

FROM LETTERS WRITTEN TO STUDENTS AND PATIENTS BY THE CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT OF THE SOCIETY OF SILENT UNITY

These extracts represent the general trend of the doctrine taught at this Center, and they will be helpful to all who are under instruction or treatment:

Our son's tonsils are badly swollen, and my husband wants to have them them taken out. I would rather have your help. What can I do? **

*

The body is the Temple of God, and should be kept holy (whole). Every organ is balanced by some other, and every one is needful. Because men do not discern the use of the various parts of the organism, does not prove that any part is useless. The soul is poised in the body through organs and functions which balance one another. The positive part in the head. will have its negative in the body. If any of these avenues of expression are removed, the soul is to that extent limited in its expression.

The tonsils have their opposite in the ovaries of woman and the generative glands of man. When there is congestion in any part, the mind should be centered at the opposite pole, with true words, thus establishing the perfect poise, equilibrium, balance.

This treatment should be given at the life center for congested tonsils in words like these:

"You are the offspring of Divine Mind, and the perfect poise of that mind is now established in you. You are filled with the abundant life of Spirit, and all your forces are equalized and harmonized through Jesus Christ."

This freeing, harmonizing thought will quicken his circulation and establish it in Divine Order.

What do you teach about the Lord's Supper and baptism? What is meant by the text, " He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you and many sleep." I. Cor. 11:30.

When the child in the kindergarten gets the lessons his symbols teach, he no longer has need of the symbols. In fact, if he did not let go of them, and go on to something higher, he would not make much progress.

Much of Jesus' teaching was done by symbols. The consciousness of the race was not quickened sufficiently to discern the things of the Spirit.

Communion and baptism are both symbols. The bread of the Lord's Supper represents the pure spiritual Substance of Spirit, of the Lord's body, and the wine represents his life. This Substance and Life we are to appropriate through the mind until we are transformed by it into the incorruptible body and blood of Christ.

Baptism represents cleansing. By the cleansing Word of denial the mind and body are cleansed of materiality, and the way opened in consciousness for the descent of the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Eating symbolizes affirmation. Jesus Christ's life and Substance are powerful, and when received into the consciousness they stimulate the whole man. It is needful therefore that one who would eat or affirm his life and substance should first, by denial, cleanse the consciousness of all mortal thought, else he eats and drinks unworthily, and brings to himself damnation, that is damage. There should be a denial of sin, and an affirmation of the Christ righteousness; a denial of the body of sin "and a discernment and affirmation of the Lord's body. In other words, God should be seen in the flesh, and every cell recognized as pure Spirit Substance, Life and Intelligence. The body,

under the mortal thought of it gets weak and sickly, and finally ends in corruption. When the Lord's body is discerned and affirmed, and everything appearing contrary is denied, the body gladly responds to the true thought about it, and begins to take on its true character. It is transformed by the renewing of the mind, and health and wholeness result.

Make yourself strong and positive by speaking often to yourself these true words: "I no longer expect satisfaction of soul from material things. I am Spirit, and my soul is fed and satisfied with the infilling, nourishing Word of God."

We are glad for the demonstrations you are having for yourself and others. Why not begin to write the truths which you are learning? It will help you. By writing them they will become established in you; besides it may be your line of work. If you can get some of your friends interested in corresponding with you about Truth, you will find it helpful to you and to them.
