My dwelling place shall be."

MEETING OF MARCH 23D.

Leader, Mrs. S. A. Miles, of San Francisco, Cal. Subject: "Love Motherhood.

Love is the key-note of the universe- the note with which all souls must come into harmony before the Anthem of the Race Triumphant shall vibrate through the universe, from every human soul, from the Christ in us, manifest. Before this final perfection of the race, we, as individuals, can bring into our own kingdom this great cleansing, purifying Love, that gives life, beauty, joy, and holy peace, and with its companion, wisdom, lead us up the heights of soul unfoldment without sorrow or pain.

Love makes all burdens light by transmuting them into an ecstasy of delight. We shall send forth our octave of melodies to swell the song of the triumphant Christ. How shall this radiant plane of consciousness be attained? Through love and wisdom. Yes, but they must be established with full authority in our hearts. Here is the need of close daily watching and praying, as commanded by our victorious elder brother. This is regeneration of the soul; making sure that we love all life in all forms. Love all, everybody, and always. Love our enemies, those whom we count ourselves virtuous if we tolerate, holding no desire for revenge, or demand for justice. These must all go, and love must vibrate untrammeled by any lingering limitations, filling the soul with rich perfume for all; borne forth on the pure ether, a holy baptism for whomsoever will.

This state can be attained by every soul aglow with the desire for the perfect Christ consciousness, First, hold all in the Divine nature, and not in the

human; close the eyes to all deeds of selfishness and ignorance in every form. Baptize the soul daily with the Truth; that all the race are Christs in environment; all one with the Father. The understanding of the truth of this unity is not hard to grasp. The practical demonstration in our daily life is the test of our living the life of the Christ.

Watch and pray, lest we forget. If we visit an insane asylum, no one of us would be hurt or offended with any rudeness we might receive from any of the inmates, but pity and a loving sympathy would enfold them from our own center of poised intelligence. So let us all manifest toward all adverse conditions and people, and the note of harmony will be found through persistent effort. The things which seem impossible will pass away as the night. In the dewy fragrance of the morning of a new day of soul harmony we shall thrill with a new vibration from the innermost circle of the Great Central Heart of Being, and be enfolded in the glory of its radiance.

"Love one another," spoken by our elder brother, has echoed down the corridors of two thousand years, speaks to us today with a clear, clarion call, never to be silenced. By way of contrast let us look at the Vedanta Philosophy, whose basic thought is, "Nonattachment," as the only path to perfection and freedom from pain and sorrow. One of its sages has said, "If you love nothing, you will have peace. Love your children as your nurse does. The nurse will take your baby and fondle and play with it as if it were her own, give her notice to leave, and she is off with her luggage without a pang; everything is forgotten. Bę so with your own children; love not, suffer not." Is there one who has felt, in the Secret Place of the Most High, the baptism of Divine Love who would be willing to exchange our Christ teaching of love for the philosophy of non-attachment? Would any American mother, with all that may come to her through ignorance of the law, desire the state of non-attachment? We hear the low, responsive

"No," from the multitude of illumined motherhood.

No real, true mother, conscious of her sacred office, would lose the spiritual enrichment, which comes with the struggle and its attendant cares. Motherlove is the strongest, the purest, the most altruistic love that has ever manifested upon the earth. It is kin to God-love, and in the light of the Christ illumination, one with it. It has been said by one of our California poets, "Motherhood is martyrdom from the cradle to the grave." Looking at it through the maze of ignorance and darkness which has prevaded the civilization of the lost millenium, it seems really true. But now a new day of revealed truth has dawned upon us, and its radiance is filling the whole world; and error is folding her tents, like the Arab, and silently stealing away.

And what do we behold, who have ascended into the mountain of Understanding? Lo! man is not under pre-natal condemnation to a life of sorrow and bondage to past environments, but Sons of GodGod individualized; and all the universe of love, wisdom, and power, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, is joined to us by insoluable ties to aid, bless, and lift us upward in our evolutionary climb from protoplasm to Christ. Then mothers are not the expression of a curse, which has trailed down through the ages from our dear mother Eve, as the letter reads, but of the spirit. They are really holding the highest office in the Divine plan of evolution, next to God with the universal mother. Entering the earth plane, she becomes the receptacle for new embodiments, giving herself as the tenement of the embryo Spirit; nourishing and moulding it during the foetal term; and under the new law of love and omnipotent Good, old things have passed away, and lo! mother and child have passed into separate existence, without pang or wail.

Joy to the world, the Truth has set us free, and motherhood moves all along the line of evolution from Adam to Christ, the indispensable factor in the

Thy Life works out in me,
My Inspiration and my Guide,
I am alive in Thee.

Spirit of Love! oh, fill me now!

I feel Thy gentle sway,

My will becomes Thy will, I yield
To Thy sweet, winning way.
My Love flows out to all the world,
And lifts and bears above

The souls that feel my spirit's touch
I'm filled and thrilled with love.

Spirit of Wisdom! streaming forth
Through all earth's clouds, I see,
And understand and keep my path,
From doubt and error free.
If mists arise my light to dim,
Thy firm, true voice I hear;
I keep Thy counsel, and my way
Is ever bright and clear.

Spirit of Power! I am awake

To Thy great pulse, and know
That I may rouse to some great work,
God's wondrous Good to show.

I manifest the strength by which
Truth's banner is unfurled;

For Life and Love and Wisdom are

The Power that moves the world.

SOCIETY

OF SILENT

AND KNOW THI

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, 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
