“WHAT HAS THE UNITY SOCIETY TO BE THANKFUL FOR?”

A p raise m eeting was held in the U nity A uditorium , K ansas C ity, S unday m orn­ing, N ovem ber 20th , w ith the sub ject, “W hat H as the U nity Society to Be T han k fu l fo r? ” as the keynote.

A fte r the usual service and musical p rogram , which included a fine selection by the quarte tte , M rs. Severance, M r. B a rre tt, M iss M iller, and M r. Ingraham , the regu la r speaker for the Society, M r. C harles F illm ore, said in p a r t:

W e have so m any th ings to be th a n k ­ful fo r th a t I h a rd ly know w here to be­gin. “S p iritu a l th ings a re sp iritu a lly dis­cerned,” and the thanksg iv ing of one who has entered into understand ing of T ru th is so thoroughly sp iritu a l in character th a t hum an w ords are inadequate to ex­press i t ; they give no h in t of the ju b i­la n t soul w ithin. So if I should try to tell in te llectually a ll we are today giving thanks fo r I would fa ll short. W e m ay poin t to the outw ard evidences of success, bu t the re rem ains som ething deeper which cannot be told.

T his Society has had a steady , not a phe­nom enal grow th, and the outer m an can­not boast. O ther societies have ou tstripped us from the w orld ly point of view, bu t we are satisfied to know th a t the re has been here p lan ted a g rea t T ru th th a t shall never pass aw ay, bu t shall grow and be given to the whole earth . W e have estab­lished here a school which is founded on P rincip le .

T he first g rea t th ing we have to be th an k fu l for is th a t we know the P rin c i­ple. Rem em ber th a t the s ta rtin g point in consciousness of every tru th is to know the P rinc ip le of life. W ithout th is we are

ad rif t. Know ing it, our hearts are afire w ith enthusiasm to give to others.

I t seems necessary to repeat often th a t God is the g rea t O m nipresent P rincip le. B y repetition the fixed thought of him as a personality w ith lim itations is dissolved.

T he nex t th ing we have to be thankfu l for is th a t we know the law by which we can im p art the T ru th to others. This is not a religion, not a sect, bu t a school teaching a P rinc ip le th a t a ll m ust eventu­ally receive, even as they now do the rules of m athem atics. L ife ’s problem s cannot be solved w ithout it.

T he T ru th gives freedom . I t does aw ay w ith a ll ecclesiasticism , all creed, a ll lim itation. I t is not narrow ed to any m an’s doctrine or revelation. E very man can express his own understand ing in his own w ay as long as i t chords w ith the P rinc ip le . I f any have w andered away into in te llectual assum ptions of w hat the L aw is, they m ust come back to S p irit and build aga in on the foundation of God as P rincip le .

God is L ife , and a ll life is in existence here and now, and we can every one ex­press it. God is In te llig en ce ; we can make th is intelligence ours. These tru th s are fundam ental, and we give thanks fo r them.

W e are th a n k fu l th a t we have all dem­onstrated the T ru th . N one have yet dem­onstrated it up to the Absolute, but we should acknow ledge th a t we have proved our fa ith in the T ru th , and be glad.

Those who en ter into the realization of God as L ife do not have to depend upon any th ing else fo r life. T h is does away w ith drugs and a ll ex ternal m eans of get­tin g more life . B e th a n k fu l fo r your freedom from tak in g medicine. This re­ligion is p rac tica l, and we should be thank­fu l along every line. I f you are no longer

carry ing a load of obligation in the way of d rug bills and doctors’ fees, give thanks.

H old th a t God is your In telligence and be th an k fu l th a t th rough the g rea t In fi­nite M ind you can become w iser and be more capable in every w ay of doing the things you should do.

L et us be g lad and th a n k fu l th a t we have been given the priv ilege of inaugura tJ ing th is g rea t school for the hum an race. This is the broadest, the most fa r-reach ­ing w ork for the u p lif t of men the world has ever known. A nd every m an shall rec­ognize it, because here is C h ris t in his fu ll­ness, and to him every knee shall bow. Jesus C hrist came to establish a new k ing­dom— a kingdom in which a ll men should be free. W e ta lk about the freedom of men, and th ink because we can go down and vote for our favorite candidate we are free. B u t all men are bound m entally . T hey m ust be set free in m ind, and th is is w hat Jesus C hrist did for the race. H e set it free from the bondage o f sense. H e made a place— as he said, “p rep a red a place”— w here all men m ight en ter in and be free. T his place is the consciousness of the U niversal M ind, the F ather.

I doubt if the re is a m em ber of th is So­ciety bu t w hat has in some m easure re ­alized w hat th is “kingdom of heaven w ith­in you” is. W e have a ll found some of its privileges and caught sigh t of m ore than language can describe. I have heard you te ll by the hour of the freedom from ills of m ind, body, and affairs which a knowl­edge of the T ru th as ta u g h t by Jesus C hrist has b rought to you. T his doc­trine is em inently p rac tica l, and it proves itself to be, not a theory based upon the w ritings of th e H ebrew s, or th e creeds form ulated by the church fa thers , bu t a science resting upon M ind. W e study M ind first, last, and alw ays, and sustain our discoveries of its law s by reference to the S crip tures and other wisdom w ritings. L et us, then, continue to proclaim th a t we follow not a f te r any w ritten au thority , but accept the dictum of Jesu s th a t the S p irit of T ru th shall teach men.

T his S p irit has revealed its T ru th to the members of th is Society in exact p ro ­portion to the ir loyalty to it. Those who have given them selves w holly to its in­struction have received bountifu lly in w is­dom, and they are expressing in the ir lives w hat it is to be led of the S p irit. These have dedicated them selves to this work, and the ir jo y is becoming more and more as they go on in it.

T he U nity Society has g radua lly de­veloped as an institu tion in to tw elve de­partm en ts, and we shall hea r th is m orn­ing a rep resen ta tive from each speak of the character and grow th of his work.

W EEKLY U N ITY

T he W om an’s A uxiliary was organized about seven years ago for the purpose of w orking w ith the B oard of D irec to rs of the U nity Society of P rac tica l C hristian ­ity , fo r the advancem ent o f th e cause for which the Society exists. T h e efforts of the A uxiliary have been m ainly confined to decorating, fu rn ish ing , fitting, and beau­tify in g the in terio r o f U n ity Building. U n ity In n has also received of the bounty of the L ord th rough th e W om an’s A uxil­ia ry . M any hundreds of dollars have passed th rough th e trea su ry of th is A uxil­ia ry to U nity Society du rin g the years it has been organized. In the la s t tw o years, up to date , th e sum of $682.72 has been expended as outlined above, in addition to which $130 has been given to the New B uild ing F und , m aking a to ta l of $812.72 in tw en ty -th ree m onths which has been contributed to the good of this C enter of T ru th by the devoted women of the So­ciety.

T H E U N IT Y T R A C T S O C IE T Y

Low ell F illm ore reported th a t the T ra c t Society, which is the publishing d ep a rt­m ent of the U nity work, had grown more in th e la s t yea r th an in any two or th ree years previous. A t th is tim e la s t year 11,000 copies of U nity w ere being sent out each m o n th ; now the num ber is 18,000, and it w ill p robab ly be increased to 20,- 000 soon a fte r C hristm as.

T he edition of “ C hristian H ea lin g ,” by C harles F illm ore, published la st year, has been en tire ly sold out for several m onths, and a new edition has been p rin ted . T here is such a clam oring fo r the w ork th a t it is difficult to keep the orders filled. B e­sides th is book m any leaflets and trac ts have been p rin ted , and two la rg e presses and one sm all one are going all the tim e du ring w orking hours to supp ly the dem and for lite ra tu re . A g rea t deal of th is lite ra tu re is sent out free, but God is our support.

In the la st year, w ith the help of S ilent U n ity and the C orrespondence School, the T ra c t Society has p u t up a new build ing of brick and re-enforced concrete. T here

are th ree floors, the p rin tin g departm ent occupying the first floor, the b indery the second. T h e-th ird floor is for the Society of S ilen t U nity . A lready the p rin ting de­p artm en t is beginning to feel a little crowded in its new and la rg e r quarters. T he two presses, a jo b press, linotype ma­chine, fo lder, cu tters, and stitcher, w ith the o ther p rin tin g and b ind ing necessities, fill two la rge floors, and tw enty-five peo­p le a re constan tly a t w ork in th is business departm en t of the U nity Society.

E d n a L. C a rte r, rep resen ting the U nity Correspondence School, gave the follow­ing rep o rt:

As in a ll departm ents of U nity , the w ork accom plished by the C orrespond­ence School is f a r beyond w hat can be m easured or described by statistics, but figures m ay help to give a general idea of w hat has been done.

T h e School was established in A pril, 1909, and is th e re fo re n ineteen months old. O ver 1,500 students have been en­rolled , and five have com pleted the first course. T here a re students in all parts of the U nited S tates, and in C anada, A laska, M exico, Cuba, E ng land , Scotland, F rance , H aw aii, G erm any, Russia, Ind ia, Ja p a n , A ustralia , New Zealand, W est Coast A frica and South A frica. Kansas C ity is also well represen ted .

I t is very -fitting th a t the C orrespond­ence School should be represen ted in a p ra ise service of th is kind, because a ll of the offerings received from students go d irec tly to the erection of buildings for the U nity w ork, and we rejoice th a t while we are daily sending out blessings, all th a t comes back in re tu rn goes to help sw ell the fund th a t provides suitable quar­te rs for ca rry in g on the g rea ter work.

T he sum of $1,575 has been tu rned over to the U nity T ra c t Society by the School, $500 of which m ade the first paym ent on the lo t w here th e new U nity T ra c t So­ciety B uild ing now stands.

T he studen t is expected not only to gain understanding , b u t to express it when g a in ed ; and he is required to w rite in his own w ords the T ru th brought out in each lesson.

T H E U N IT Y S U N D A Y S C H O O L M rs. E d ith H ase ltine gave a good re ­

po rt for th e U nity S unday school. T he p ast year has been the most successful one in the h isto ry of th e school. A t the begin­ning of the year, in considering p lans for the w ork it was decided th a t one of the p rincipal th ings necessary to success was prom ptness; so “ on-tim e” t;igs w ere p re ­pared for all members o f the school who were on time. T he priv ilege of w earing th is badge of prom ptness has been an in ­centive to a ll to be in th e ir places a t the opening of the school.

Classes suited to a ll a ttendan ts of the Sunday school have been form ed, and these are graded , m aking order and sys­tem. A ltogether the grow th of the U nity Sunday school is most g ra tify ing , and we are thankfu l.

M rs. K eith M cClintock came into our m idst two m onths ago, and has since her com ing been connected w ith the local healing work. She has been in touch w ith U n ity th rough S ilent U n ity fo r several years, so she came well p rep a red to fill a place here as a healer. H e r w ord of thanks fo r the local healing w ork was chiefly an expression of her own thanks­giving for the fact o f her presence w ith us. T he daily m in istry of the local healers is rich ly blessed and th is departm en t of th e w ork is keeping pace w ith th e others in the good it accomplishes.

is th a n k fu l for.T he U nity G uild, as an aux ilia ry of

the U nity Society of P rac tica l C h ristian ­ity , has been w orking during the p as t yea r in the in te rest of the N ew B uild ing Fund . T he members of the G uild a re the grow n-up young people of U n ity Society, whose ob ject is to sp read the teachings of th is C enter and to assist the w ork in any w ay th a t they can. T he G uild was organ­ized four years ago, w ith a m em bership of sixteen. T oday they have a member-

W EEKLY U N ITY

ship of about fifty. D uring the p as t year they have increased the ir ro ll eighteen.

F rom the various en tertainm ents given this year, and from the sale of post-cards, and love offerings received, they have been able to tu rn over $300 to th e New B uild ing F und , and still have a balance in the ir trea su ry of eighty dollars. The members of the G uild a re very th an k fu l th a t they are helpers in the good work, and are g ra te fu l to the ir m any friends for th e ir k ind co-operation.

T hey are also most th an k fu l fo r the b roader know ledge and the deeper re ­alization received by app ly ing the teach­ings of th is Society. T hrough recogniz­ing the U niversal Law the G uild has been p rospered in m any w ays, and are con­s tan tly re jo ic ing because of the ir m any blessings.

T H E S IL E N T S E V E N T Y Im elda O ctavia S hanklin , as the rep re ­

sentative of the S ilent Seventy, gave the follow ing account of the w ork of th is de­partm en t :

W e are often asked, “W hat is the S ilent S eventy?” In quick sum m ary we say it is th e most up-to-date and the best pos­sible m issionary system ever inaugurated . T he m ethod of operation consists in dis­tr ib u tin g U nity lite ra tu re am ong those who are in need of instruction along sp ir­itu a l lines, by people who a re no t known as public w orkers. T his d istribu tion is m ade personally , by sending th rough the m ail, or sometimes the read ing m atte r is sent by m utual friends.

T he idea is an adap ta tion of the act of Jesus in appo in ting the seventy to p re ­cede him into the towns he m eant to en­te r la te r. H e charged them to teach and to heal, and gave them some general rules of conduct. A fte r these instructions the account lapses u n til the re tu rn of the sev­enty, who reported , “L ord , even the de­mons a re sub jec t unto us in th y nam e.”

In th e Ju n e issue of U nity M r. F illm ore published an article review ing the w ork of these m issionaries; he suggested th a t the tim e was opportune fo r the organiza­

tion of another seventy fo r a purpose sim­ila r to th a t w hich actuated the original band. T hree days a f te r m ailing the mag­azine we received a le tte r from a woman in Iow a, asking perm ission to take up th is work.

Since then the applications have come in to such num bers th a t it became necessary to establish a departm en t to look afte r S ilen t Seventy business. W e now have several hundred members, represen ting nearly every sta te in the Union. T here are active w orkers in G erm any, F rance , E n g ­land , B raz il, P anam a, C anada, H aw aii, South A frica , and New Zealand.

Jesus sen t out the seventy to p repare the w ay for his own coming. O ur S ilent Seventy rep o rt th a t the living W ord is opening the p a th for the incoming of the C hrist, the w ay and the tru th of the ever­lasting L ife. I t is a m atte r for thanks­giving on the p a r t of those associated with this w ork th a t so m any are finding the pow er of God unto salvation in mind, body, and affairs.

Tessie W allace, p residen t of the Sun­shine C lub, explained the mission of the Club.

T he U n ity Sunshine Club was organized about a year ago w ith a h a lf dozen mem­bers, bu t has since increased to twelve active members. T his club meets once a m onth a t the homes of the different mem­bers, and our ob ject is to sp read the “ sun­shine” of tru th , of love, of jo y , of health , and to do a ll the good we can in every w ay possible. W e give out blessed pen­nies to each m em ber a t the regu lar meet­ings, and the increase is retu rned a t the follow ing m eetings. T he pennies have worked" so successfully th a t soon we will each tak e a dime and increase th a t. W e are now w orking on a C hristm as surprise for the U nity Sunday-school children—- and , by the w ay, the Sunshine members a re a ll Sunday-school pupils of U nity.

W e have our social pleasures also, and in th is w ay we have a splendid opportu­n ity of b ring ing together m any boys and

W e are th a n k fu l for such an opportu ­n ity , and we p raise and give thanks con­tinua lly for the good we receive w ith our T ru th companions a t our Sunshine m eet­ings.

In the local w ork the re is the C ircu lating L ib rary , which contains 200 volumes from the pens of the best m etaphysical w riters, and these books m ay be d raw n by our peo­ple, who, fo r the sum of ten cents, m ay keep a book two weeks.

T he establishm ent o f U n ity B ranch L i­braries th roughout the leng th and b read th of the land , and into foreign lands also, is perhaps of the g rea test im portance of all the w ork done by th is departm ent.

M r. D an iel H oagland , p residen t of the U nity Society of P rac tica l C hristian ity ,

speaking fo r the B oard of T rustees of the local Society, said in substance:

W e all recognize th a t we are teaching some g rea t and far-reach ing tru th s , and the work is im portan t to ourselves, the w orld, and fu tu re generations. F irs t, we have the understand ing of S p irit— the P rinc ip le of existence; next, the laws of the m entality a re studied and arran g ed in th e ir p roper re la tio n ; and last, but not least, th e re is the application of th is won­d erfu l instruction in the outer world. W e know th a t our heavenly F a th e r is the p ro ­vider of a ll th ings, and th a t if we tru s t him we shall not lack any good th ing. The K ingdom of H eaven is a t h a n d ; we are liv ing in it if we believe the teach ing of Jesus C hrist and follow his instructions. In stead of expecting th is kingdom to be brough t about in some w ay outside of our­selves, we find th a t i t m ust begin and end in our own sp iritua l developm ent, and the expression of ourselves under th e divine law ; in other w ords, we m ust w ork out the P rincip le .

W e are all desirous of becoming active m em bers o f th is K ingdom of H eaven which the L ord is se tting up in our m idst, and th rough our thoughts and righteous w orks help it into m anifestation . W e have received much more good un d er the ap ­plication of th is sp iritu a l law du ring the p as t few years than we can express. This is proof to us th a t the w ork is a good one and w ill dem onstrate. W e have received fre e ly ; now le t us give freely . In fact, i t is not a g ift, bu t a ju s t com pensation fo r good th a t we have a lready received. I stand ready to do my share in ca rry ing fo rw ard th is good w ork, and it is the unan­imous voice of th is B oard th a t the w ork be sustained sp iritu a lly and m ateria lly .
