Realization must take the place of perception. Putting on the Christ consciousness is not an easy task, though it should not be considered hard, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light," is much better than the old way. It is a work we must keep right at continually. We cannot rest by the wayside; we must make use of every moment. "For if you continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed." It is by keeping the idea of perfection continually before us that we come nearer and nearer the goal, and become more and more conscious of what we really and truly are. We may pass through many hard and trying experiences in this redeeming process, but they are only proving our faith and making us stronger. It is an opportunity to demonstrate the Law, and place our understanding on a firmer basis.

Every trial that comes to us is good, for they are stepping-stones to higher things. They are stages of development, and when we have redeemed those conditions, all is brighter and more beautiful than ever before; we are lifted up into a higher plane of consciousness. What we have termed sickness is only a passing away of the old state of consciousness and a building up of a new one. Then let us remember to bless every condition that comes to us, and meet it in the Christ attitude and learn the lesson of nonresistance, for this is the great lesson we all must learn, and know that by being true to Truth we redeem those false conceptions and enter into the perfect freedom of the Christ consciousness. Christ chose twelve apostles to go hand in hand with him in his work, which represents the twelve great faculties of the mind which must be Christed and go hand in hand with the Christ in bringing up the whole man into a oneness with the Father, where all is peace, joy, happiness and perfect bliss.

Then let us love this Divine Idea, this true self of us, the only begotten Son of God, which is ever in the bosom of the Father. Let us love it with all our

heart, all our mind, might and strength, until our whole world becomes conscious of the reign of this Divine Son to whom all power is given. Then let us be willing to trust this power which is our Savior, which is the "Christ in us, the hope of our glory," the one power. This power in us is Love; it is that silent force that attracts all good to it. Love goes forth and meets Love and bounds back to us.. Like attracts like. Love is the inlet and the outlet to all good. We send out this great power, and all that come in contact with it are benefited and uplifted. Then let us keep this channel ever open to the never-ceasing flow of Love, that we may bathe in its fountain continually and redeem our world from all limitation, and come into that perfect realization of our absolute perfection.

THE HEART YOU BEAR WITHIN.

HARRY T. FEE.

It isn't the coat you wear,

It isn't the silken gown,

It isn't the name you bear—
It isn't these that crown
Your life with noble aim;

It isn't these that win,

But God shall count on the Holy Mount
The heart you bear within.

It isn't the form you take,

It isn't the time you spend,

But deeds for the Spirit's sake

Shall count for worth in the end.

Bear in thy soul the thought

That makes the whole world kin;

And He shall know in the after-glow
The heart you bore within.

It isn't the path you tread,

It isn't the wayside fair;

It is only the words you've said,
Or hopes you've scattered there.

But, ah, if these be true,

True as the polar fir

Be sure that He shall welcome thee

For the heart you bore within.

SOCIETY

OF
SILENT

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT AM GOD.

Inspired by the Spirit of Truth.

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 unit, though they may be separated by thousands of miles, and " all who are connected with that unity are in touch with hier 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 .nember 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.)

March 20th to April 20th.
I am sanctified in Love.

Noon Thought.

(Held daily at 12 M.)

God is Love.

I am Love's child.

With the love-nature active, the Thought can speak the Word to body. Love radiations from each to each heal. Love awakened in the Soul heals. What is disease, and what is healing? Disease is but spiritual sluggishness. Life flows in too small quantity through the organism. Healing is merely the awakening of the Soul to a knowledge of its power and opening the nervous system to new

currents.

Power radiates. No life where there are no love-radiations. The more life, the more love as an effect. "Open the love-nature and be healed," is the Word of Power.

Love undirected may not care for body. Love misdirected will tear down body. Love under the right thought will heal, under wrong thought will destroy. But under any thought Life unfolds, and unfoldment is the purpose of the incarnation. Soul finds expression. Our individuality consists in our ability, through choice, to direct Love by Thought to a predetermined end. As we grow wiser, we use for health and happiness the Power we are. For these reasons, man is a religious being. For this reason, every great religious awakening has been accompanied with healing effects. Because there was not understanding of cause, and because of old beliefs held for ages and brought into the human life from man's experience with brute, there has been disease and ultimately death.

But the Savior has ever been the Healer. Jesus stands the type of the spiritually developed man. He knew no disease, neither did he know death, for, awakening from his swoon, he "disappeared from sight" by dematerializing his body—a possibility for all. Now.

TRUTH STUDENTS OF CHICAGO.

All communications to the Truth Students of Chicago should be sent to Mrs. S. L. Weld, Corresponding Secretary, 4162 Berkeley Ave., Chicago, Ill.

The regular meeting of the Truth Students of Chicago was held in Oriental Hall, Wednesday, January 20th. Mrs. Harriet DeLano Pool, leader. Subject, "Baptism."

Mrs. Pool: Baptism is a symbol of repentance. Repentance is a turning from or turning back, the relinquishment of any practice, from the conviction that it has offended God. Offence is a cause of stumbling. Jesus was called "a stone of stumbling and rock of offence to both the houses of Israel." The Adam soul has been looking at externals and making stumbling blocks for itself out of shadows that have been the offence before God, and by repenting or turning back to the Truth it receives a new baptism. Jesus never baptized anyone, but he submitted to the rite of John, first, because he recognized the need of the people at that stage of their development, and then because he lifted it into a higher significance. It was no longer (for him) a symbol of repentance, but a symbol of a new life (born again). Baptism symbolizes an entrance into the church (Christ). Water is the visible agent of external purification, and shame and repentance the agents of spiritual purification. Therefore, when the Adamsoul becomes ashamed of its mistakes in the sense of turning from them, it must first purify itself by the water and then receive the second baptism.

Jesus came from Galilee (the council) to Jordon (the border) to be baptized. We must make that journey, beginning with the I AM and telling ourselves what I am every day, and come to that border where the physical is merged into the spiritual. Jesus went down into—that is, he came from the highest degree of consciousness down to meet all the human experiences - but then he went up out of the water, that is, out of the consciousness of forms and
