San Benito, Texas-I wrote you asking prayers for financial help. I was without work, among strangers and literally penniless. I now have a clerical position with a large corporation at a good salary. I am truly grateful for what I have received.-Mrs. E. C. H.

England, Ark.-Ever since I sent for your Prosperity Bank, I notice that I am successful in all that I undertake. I am a dressmaker and I now have more work than I can do.-C. M.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Having lost my position, I was very unhappy and without money. Unity Magazine came about this time and I read it, praying with all my heart. The government's need for stenographers was called to my attention and I took the civil service examination. A friend offered the necessary money to defray expenses to Washington. An uncle who had always refused to help me sent a check for $25.00. I had a warrant on the state for $50.00 which no one would take. A friend refused to take the warrant, but instead gave me the money, saying when it was due I could pay him. Through another friend my name was given to the Senator and Representative from Oklahoma to help me get located. Just as soon as the Representative received his letter he wired me to come to work for him. At the same time I received notice from the government to report at once. Through a friend here I was able to find a delightful place to live while in Washington. I had given my trunk to my aunt and thought I should have to buy a new one, but she returned it to me with all charges paid. All my affairs have been perfectly adjusted, for which I am deeply thankful.-L. H.

Fort Collins, Colo.-How wonderful are the ways of the Almighty God! Before my letter could have reached you work came to me. I did not even have to hunt for it. I have discovered that house-cleaning, washing, ironing, etc., are God's work as much as any other kind of work.— Mrs. A. C. E.

Elma, N. Y.-Our house has been sold to a woman who is enjoying it very much. I thank you for the help you have given us.-Mrs. W. B.

Oakland, Cal.-Ever since I sent to you for the Prosperity Bank the Lord has blessed us in a financial way. My husband's income has been doubled in the last six months. In addition to this we have received in other ways. Things that seemed unattainable are now within our reach.-Mrs. G. T. C.

HELPED BY UNITY LITERATURE

Hampstead, London-Often I have wanted to express my gratitude to you for opening up to me a new world, but my joy was so great I could not press the wonder of it into a mere letter of thanks. The Bible had always been the first book in our household, and regularly every Sunday we listened to it read twice. That was in Australia. Then came a change. My sister and I migrated to Europe to study music and literature. We went first to Paris and then to Berlin. Here I found entirely different ideals. No one whom we knew went to church, and Nietzche was the keynote of existence. The people did not lead immoral lives, but physical well-being and physical enjoyment was the goal after which everyone was striving. No one seemed happy. In spite of all of this I never lost my faith in the Eternal Good, but it seemed elusive. I wanted it concrete, positive; I wanted it to be as manageable as electricity in an incandescent burner. The awakening began with some of your booklets which I read and re-read, finding each time a Truth that had previously been passed unnoticed. The light flooded in to illumine my understanding. I had always been searching for just that which Unity brought me, a spiritual working principle for life, everyday life. On the cover of "Is Christianity Practical?" there is a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox which says:

"Aim well; be sure of thy intent;

And make thine own environment."

They

I cannot tell you how these verses helped me. were so direct and practical. I sent for Unity Magazine at once. The first copy to reach me was March of this year. It was wonderful. I always like to have a copy of the magazine by me as an inspiration and a guide, for they always contain the thought which is most needed at the time. Unity teaches me to do more and more with my knowledge of the Truth. How can we reserve just Sunday for God when the other six days of the week require him even more? To me this is Unity's most blessed quality. It makes the spiritual life the only one and that so simply and naturally that it becomes impossible to do without God in everything. The July number is particularly inspiring. It will take many months to master its contents and make it really my own. For instance before me I see: "Opulence of consciousness will express itself in opulence of manifestation." What fields this sentence opens to one. One feels like stretching out both arms to God to take what he is ever offering us.-R. D.

FREEDOM

Glendale, Cal.-A week after requesting your prayers for Mr. M. he came home with a small bottle of wine, asking his wife to put it away until he should want it. The next day he came home and instructed her to throw the bottle away, saying he should never drink again. Now he is reading Unity literature.-C. W.

Victoria, B. C.-I wrote you for prayers when I discovered a bare spot on the top of my head. A friend of mine, who is a beauty doctor, said it was incurable and that no hair could be grown. However, I followed the directions you sent and now there is a thick growth of hair on the spot. Mrs. A. M. E.

St. Paul, Minn.-I want you to know of the almost immediate success of your word in bringing my brother to

me.

The peculiar experiences he relates to me of the opposition to his getting back, until about the time I wrote you for help, are astonishing. He said things began to clear up all of a sudden, and he was able to break away and come.-A. F. P.

CONTROL OF ELEMENTS

Henderson, Tenn.-I wrote you for prayers for rain and last night it came down gently and abundantly. It had not rained for two months and it seemed the crops and gardens were going to burn up, but this rain has saved them. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." I have never asked your prayers that help did not come speedily and surely, and I am truly grateful to you and the Father.S. B. M.

Manchester, Ohio-In less than a week after I had written you for prayers for rain to save our crops, a fine rain fell. Praise the Lord!-L. E. M.

Manhattan, Mont.-Please discontinue prayers for rain. The results have been wonderful. We are praising God and Unity.-Mrs. J. W. F.

Austin, Texas-Six days after I wrote you for prayers, the serious drought in Austin was broken by a refreshing rain. Since then we have had several good rains. Our Colorado river, from which the whole city draws its water supply, was lower than it had ever been. In just one week after you began your prayers for rain, the daily papers stated that there had been a three foot rise in the river and that the drought in many parts of Texas had been relieved. I express my grateful appreciation to you and God.-Mrs. A. J. B.

PROPHECY FULFILLED

In the March Unity appeared an article in the Publishers' Department, entitled "Divine Protection." It gave a prophecy of the end of the war based upon a dream in which the time of peace was indicated by a field covered with corn-stubble.

This dream was had in February and we interpreted the date when peace would be declared as the coming spring. It is very plain now that the field of corn-stubble indicated after the fall harvest, and it should have been so interpreted.

At the time this dream was given there was no indication of peace whatever, in fact all the military experts were sure the war would last three years longer.

But the Spirit of the Lord knew better, and the complete fulfillment of the dream of peace shows that there is a Wisdom higher than that of man. We can be guided in all things if we learn to interpret the dreams and visions we are having. A prophet is one who strives to find out the meaning of the dream, as did Daniel. Every man may become a Daniel by seeking the same method of communion with God that Daniel had established. He had opened up this communion through meditation and prayer. This we can all do.

It is in the ability to interpret dreams that the true prophet excels. By knowing that the "lean kine" and "fat kine," which the king saw in his dreams, meant lean and fat years, raised Joseph from a servant to prime minister of Egypt. And it is just here that the prophet needs to be careful. Mistakes in interpretation often occur because of lax or hasty analysis of the symbols. Joseph and Daniel, and all prophets need to be much in prayer and meditation in order to become familiar with the language of the Lord.

When telegraphing to Silent Unity for prayers be sure to give your street number. This will enable us to send a return wire if the case requires it.
