JESUS CHRIST, in Matt 18:19, 20, says: 'Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." We are testing this promise daily and finding it absolutely true. Jesus Christ is with us today as fully and with as great power as he ever was, and he manifests himself to all those who spiritually apprehend him. Spirit is everywhere; ignorance of the action of mind and its laws is what shuts the power of Spirit away from man. We find that when many people hold the same thought there is a unity, though they may be separated 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 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. This work requires the time of several people at headquarters, and much free literature is distributed. To meet these expenses, we ask members to send us free-will offerings, as no charge is made for any service we render. This society has been in existence about thirteen years and has over 9 000 registered members. Through its ministry thousands have been healed mentally and physically, and its power grows stronger day by day. The silent honr is 9 P. M., your local time. Geographical difference in time is not a factor in spiritual unity. 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; price, 75 c. UNITY is our magazine, which is published monthly and contains a large amount of instruction. It should be in the hands of every member. The price of it is $1.00 per year. Where members take UNITY and the "Cady Lessons" together, we make a rate of $1.50 for both. The simple request to be enrolled a member of the Silent Unity Society is all that is required to join with us. Do not expect an extended correspondence, nor even a written reply to your letter unless the case urgently demands it. We always respond in spirit and you are never neglected, although you do not hear from us by post. Address, SOCIETY OF SILENT UNITY, 1315 McGee Street, Kansas City, Mo. THE CLASS THOUGHT, (Held daily at 9 o'clock P. M.) February 20th to March 20th. I will; be thou whole. Noon Thought. (Held daily at 12 M.) Not my will, but thine be done. A DAILY WORD. SUNDAY I am the wisdom of God made manifest. TUESDAY I am the power of God in dominion. THURSDAY I am the love of God radiant. FRIDAYI am Divine order. SATURDAY-I am Infinite strength. Man has but one legitimate mission on earth. - to do good-to express God in himself. waste of energy and counts for nought. All else is When good ness and not gold becomes the goal of life, peace on earth and good will to man will become the law and the gospel in life. Until this time, life will be fortuitous. Fear and famine will beset the soul. Pain and plague will harass the body. Man must become the embodiment of God, or the Good, before he is eligible to the gratuitous providences of God. "It is God's good pleasure to give us his kingdom," and we prove our heirship to it only as we are sons and daughters of God.- Dominion. "The higher you think the more harmonious will your body be, for the body is merely the garment of the thought. We will become without spot or blemish just as soon as our minds are without spots and blemishes." TRUTH STUDENTS OF CHICAGO. The regular Wednesday service of the Truth Students, held in Oriental Hall, Masonic Temple, December 17, was led by Mrs. Harriet Pool. Subject: Nothing but the Good is True.” The meeting opened with singing, "God is Love.” Mrs. Pool asked all present to take into their innermost consciousness this thought, Unto me this day a child is born, unto me a son is given.” 66 Mrs. Pool: "There is nothing that is not dual except God Itself. God is the circumference of all things visible and invisible. Everything is within the Source, but out from the Source or God we begin immediately to find duality. God is ceaseless activity, and must ceaselessly create, not because of choice, but on account of the nature of God. Activity is forever compelled because it is in the beginning. God is Infinite in aspects, but not dual in nature. There is nothing negative in God, but in the expression of God and in all conditions which proceed out from the effect of cause, there must be two sides, the positive and the negative, the inner and outer. We deal on this plane with the outer, or negative side, long before we are able to see the inner or positive, but the greater includes the lesser. We have light and darkness, heat and cold, for by comparison we learn. "From the subject, Nothing but the Good is True,' I wish to make a point which may seem negative, for, although many know the meaning of the subject, a great many do not, and they should be taught that there is a use and a misuse of this thought we have under consideration. "God created man in His own Image. God is dependent on nothing as Cause, but is dependent on man for manifestation. Man is dependent on God for everything, and as the image of God he is perfect, but this perfcetion must be brought forth into mani festation, and manifestation is made possible by means of the living soul, which grows from infancy to maturity by degrees; but it begins in a state of ignorance, and because of its youth makes mistakes, or misuses what it does not wholly understand. A soul at first recognizes the outer alone, and thinks it is all there is. If we say to such a soul, Nothing but the good is true, it will start wrong, because it has, as yet, no comprehension of anything but the visible or negative side. A child is told that fire is good, but it is very necessary it should be taught its right use. "Trains are run on schedule time for our convenience, but if we arrive at the station too late to catch the train we find we are left behind, for it will not wait for us. The trouble lies with us either through carelessness or ignorance. The law is undeviating, and we sometimes think the conditions we bring upon ourselves very hard, and blame the law, but it is simply our misuse of it through our lack of understanding. Sometimes when we ignore conditions, we are leaving something with which we will have to deal further on. We should be very careful what we teach, but our responsibility ends there, for we have nothing to do with results." God is Mrs. Jane Yarnall: "It is necessary to understand the difference between facts and truth. Facts are not born of truth. Many things occur which are not of the truth; a fact may be a fact but not true. Truth and Truth is God. Every soul that is studying and in studying God the Every little gleam of Truth Truth is studying God, Christ is revealed to us. we gain is the Christ-child born to us, and it grows and waxes strong as we accomplish what we desire that is true. Our acquisition of Truth nourishes the child, and finally the Christ will be perfected in each soul. We may count that day lost in which no truth is born to us. One great mistake the world makes in reference to religion, is the undue solemnity with which they regard it, for undue solemnity takes away the understanding. The understanding of that which is Truth is not solemn. We reverence the Truth, but we must be free to reason, for we must give a reason for the hope within us. When talking on Divine Principle, we should be very careful how we express ourselves that we may not mislead those who come to learn." By request Mrs. Yarnall gave a few statements on the fundamental principles of Science. "We acknowledge but one Source, which is Absolute Life, Love, Power and Wisdom, Everything good that cannot be qualified, is God. God created man in His own image. This God-created man is the spiritual man which is invisible, and the soul must be awakened and educated out of its ignorance that it may bring forth to manifestation the Christ within. Just as we think will we develop, and according as we think true thoughts will the Christ be born in us, and our soulbody be formed. The intellect is that which reasons, but we must unite reason with intuition. Never were they perfectly united until Jesus came. We reason according to that which we know, and we know by intuition. At-one-ment means to become at-one with Divine Principle, at-one with the Father, and at-one with the Christ." Mrs. Fanny M. Harley: "If we wish to get the exact meaning of words we go to the dictionary, for we are often more or less at sea, regarding the words we use. The word God means Good. A few of the definitions of true are genuine, exact, real, pure; not counterfeit, adulterated or false. If we want a correct consciousness we must have a correct understanding. When humanity has attained divine consciousness, it will be correct, real, true. Real and true are synonyms. There is no word used more frequently than error. Error means a wandering, an inaccuracy, but it is all in the consciousness; the good and true are real. What is the good? It is possessing desirable qualities, it is serviceable. Anything then which possesses undesirable qualities is |
