NOTES FROM THE FIELD

JENNIE H. CROFT.

Unity Vegetarian Inn and Unity Vegetarian Cook Book are creating quite a furore in these days of the "Meat Boycott." Articles about the Inn are copied from the Kansas City papers by the press in various cities. The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, Calif., gives space to an article sent by "Exclusive Dispatch," describing with a varying degree of accuracy, the purposes and practices of this "Unique and popular Hostelry." So the good work goes on, and the Cook Book will prove an invaluable aid in establishing a meatless diet in the homes of progressive people.

The many readers of UNITY will be pleased to know that Mrs. Annie Rix Militz is contributing a serial on “Spiritual Housekeeping or, Concentration in the Busy Life." The first installment will appear in the February number of UNITY and will be welcomed by the host of Mrs. Militz's admirers. Since her return to the Los Angeles Home of Truth there has been a steady increase in the circle of usefulness along every line.

A new Truth Center is formed in Dayton, Ohio. Daisy L. Friedman, 244 Sycamore St., is Leader, and we recommend that UNITY readers and members of our Society in Dayton call upon Miss Friedman and help on the young Center.

Mrs. Cora Justus, of Seal Garden, Calif., is another earnest soul who has interested her neighbors in Practical Christianity and has opened her home every Thursday afternoon for the study and discussion of the principles of Truth.

Headquarters for Unity Literature is established at the home of Mrs. Harriet R. Kraemer, 1419 East 3d St., Duluth, Minn. Here may be found a Truth Center with a very earnest and consecrated Truth student as leader. A larger work is sure to be built up in Duluth through the efforts put forth by Mrs. Kraemer. The Sunday School in which she is interested has just adopted UNITY as the text-book for the interpretations of the Bible Lessons.

The address of the "Circle of Universal Harmony" is 2518 Washington Blvd., Chicago, Ill., instead of 4237 as noted in

January UNITY. The Harmony Publishing Co., is at the Washington Blvd. address also.

We are pleased to note the revival of Henry Harrison Brown's magazine "Now" which has not been published since the fire in San Francisco. The Home of the "Now" Folk at Glenwood, Calif., is continuing its good work, but Mr. Brown also has an office and home in San Francisco at 589 Haight St. Send in your subscriptions for the magazine and help to establish a firm foundation for the good periodical. Price, $1.00 a year.

Prof. Le Roy Moore has just completed a most successful class in Champaign, Ill. He expects to go East again next summer, and is open to engagements to teach classes or to lecture upon the Science of Life. Note the change of address when writing: 5719 Madison Avenue, Chicago, Ill., instead of the former number on Michigan Avenue.

Sunday, February 6th, is set apart as "Praise Sunday" by the Woman's Auxiliary. The morning service is under the direction of the Auxiliary, and it is the purpose to bless everyone who attends, to bless the work of Unity Society, to bless the work of the Woman's Auxiliary, and to give praise for the abundance of good along all lines which every department of the Society is manifesting. Round tags the size of a silver dollar will be given to each one who enters the Auditorium. These tags are pink, the color of love, and upon them is an inscription of blessing. As blessings and praise always return to the giver, so it may be that these blessings will return with substantial tokens of abundance to help on the funds of the New Unity Building, which the Auxiliary is blessing also. An address by the President will be given, and reports from Secretary and Treasurer read. The work of the organization for the past year will be reviewed, and everyone is expected to unite in praise and thanksgiving for blessings received.-Weekly Unity.

"Give me leave

To speak my mind, and I will through and through
Cleanse the foul body of the infected world,

If they will patiently receive my medicine."

-As You Like It.

Many questions are asked in letters written us which would require a complete course of lessons in reply. It is impossible to satisfactorily answer in the space of one letter questions that involve the fundamentals of the Truth of Being, unless the inquirer understands those fundamentals. If you are full of questions, take our Correspondence Course, and you will find the answers for yourself.

As proof that there are no limitations of age to those who are in the Spirit, we submit the following from a brother who says he is seventy-six:

I preached the gospel many years,

Still had my doubts and had my fears;

But UNITY has set me right

My doubts and fears have taken flight.

GEORGE H. SWARTZ, Elmwood, Nebr.

TO UNITY FRIENDS: I find on my desk a large stack of letters from you asking Scripture interpretations, etc. I have piled them up there day by day, for months, with the earnest intention of answering them just as soon as the pressing duties at hand would permit. As I look them over I find that some of them were received last summer and my conscience smites me. But what would you do if you had twenty thousand people firing questions at you on points that require the wisdom of a Solomon and the interpretation of a Joseph? Wouldn't you forgive him if he did not answer your letter the next day after receiving it? CHARLES FILLMORE, Editor of Unity.

I feel that during the coming year, we will be able to pull together in a way which will be a help to all concerned. I commenced doing the same thing with, whom I greatly admire for his sincerity and purity of thought, as I have known him through some correspondence; but cannot agree with him on one point, viz., that it is wise to look forward to the possible dissolution of the body in what is called death. To me this condition is a sort of “make-shift” which we must outgrow. I believe that physical immortality is the thing to be worked toward, and cannot see the matter in any other light. All the way through there is the "Trinity"-Spirit, mind and body;

and life's triangle is incomplete without the three sides. I cannot help feeling that this is the road to salvation. I have held to this thought for many years, and it seems to me that the Master's teachings all point to the same way. If Jesus taught anything, he taught that we have dominion-and to die is to be conquered, not to prove one's self a conqueror; or so *it seems to me, and I am glad you stand for this. Have you read Prof. C. A. Steven's latest work on this problem from a purely material point of view? It is of intense interest to me, because it is like the "tapping of the pick" on the other side of the tunnel. The meeting time and the place is near; and the statement of a material scientist, to the effect that immortality is possible here and now, is going to prove a great help. -A. C. S.

CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL

To begin to tell how, and the extent these lessons and all your teachings have changed my life would require a vocabulary of language unknown to me yet.-Mrs. D. B. B.

I am more pleased with these simple yet strong teachings than I can tell you. The explanations are so clear and so comprehensive that a child may understand them. I feel that they have been a great blessing to me, and I truly appreciate them. -Mrs. J. W. J.

I have received so much more from this lesson than I am able to express in this manuscript, and wish to thank you all for all that it has brought to me in the realization of the truth. -H. A. I.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I am benefited by the lesson.-J. F. S.

Enclosed is the first lesson, which I am now returning. This is done in a spirit of humility; the subject is so vast, yet when I consider it as personal to me, so clear. This study has opened my eyes to many aspects of truth not before perceived by me, and has, therefore, been a blessing.—J. C. H.

I herewith return lesson three. These lessons are opening up my understanding very surprisingly and I enjoy them very much.-J. R. R.
