shadow comes, it is only a lack of realization of an ever-present God.

We say, "God is Mind." Then comes thought, a force we should be careful as to how we direct in order to protect ourselves and others. Sow a thought, you reap an act. Sow an act, you reap a habit. Sow a habit, you reap a character. Sow a character, you reap a destiny. We need not struggle to think aright. Just let the Allwise One guide. And the more we listen to the Inner Voice the better acquainted we become with it. 'Be still, and know that I am God." To know God aright is to know ourselves aright, and to know ourselves aright is to know God aright.

My friends, this knowledge is not accomplished in a day. Power we can do nothing without power. The more we use Power, directed in the right way, the more powerful we are. There is no limit to the God powers, only as we place limitation upon ourselves.

"All power is given unto you in heaven and in earth." We have the power to rule our own heaven and earth. Life God is life of all life. Then, how important to learn to protect every living creature, which only differs in degree. Live and let live. God is my life. God is your life. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God, and His spirit dwelleth in you?" We are children of the most high God. Let's learn to live accordingly, for by our fruits shall we be known. Intelligence-sight of mind. Love the redeeming feature of the world. Substance is that from which all things invisible are made visible.

Jesus, while here upon earth, tried in so many parables to get the people to understand their relation to the Father. They looked at the personal. They asked, "What manner of man is it that doeth these works?" Jesus answered, "Not I, but the Father that dwelleth in me doeth these works." "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. The Father and I are One." So we have just the same right to claim these truths for ourselves. We do not need to take praise, but give all praise to our higher self, for without God we are nothing.

THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD.

Speaker: How does God create?

Congregation: Through the power of his Word or Thought, as it is written in John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And all things were made by him."

Speaker: Does man assist in this creative process?

Congregation: The words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee.— John 17:8.

Speaker: Is this Word of God encompassed by any book or scripture?

Congregation: Be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. (Ec. 12:12.) And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. Ye search the Scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me. (John 5:38.)

Speaker: Where may this Word be found?

Congregation: The word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. (Deut. 30:14.)

Speaker: Having realized the Omnipresent Word of Truth, we should be on our guard and not lose it. There is the "adversary," or belief that the power of God is not in the world, to be denied.

Congregation: Those by the wayside are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. (Luke 8:12.)

Speaker: There is the mere surface understanding, which requires prayer and thanksgiving to strengthen.

Congregation: Those on the rock are they which, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. (Luke 8:13.)

Speaker: There is the thought of reality of the things of this world to be denied.

Congregation: That which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. (Luke 8:14.)

Speaker: To the obedient mind of the child add patience, and God's Word will do its mighty work

in you.

Congregation: That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience. (Luke 8:15.)

Speaker: The words of those who do the will of God endure forever.

Congregation: And everyone therefore which heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his house upon the rock. (Matt. 7:24.) Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. (Mark 13:31.)

Speaker: The creative power of the God Word increases as it is used.

Congregation: My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever. (Is. 59:21.)

"Let other's sins alone; attend to your own."

SOCIETY

OF SILENT

AND KNOW

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 at all who are connected with that unity are in touch with hi er 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 begin ning 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.)

May 20th to June 20th.

My mind and body are no longer clogged with thought of the reality of material conditions. I am Spirit, and the untrammeled ideas of Spirit penetrate and set into swift action every function of mind and body.

Prosperity Thought.

(Held daily at 12 M.)

The riches of Jesus Christ are now fulfilled in me.

GUARDING ONE'S SELF.

It is unscientific to revile, accuse, or condemn. If you are going to make your science practical, you must declare only Good. It is always the best policy. The man who strikes back at an adversary will keep up the quarrel and get many other wounds and bruises. It takes two to make a quarrel; never make one of the two.

When you are accused and abused, praise your adversaries. It is scientific. The true resistance is in the silence. Take out and keep out of your own heart all bitterness, denunciation, anger, and envy, and you will be armed against all the devils in other people. The only way you can be hurt from without is to open your own door and let the outside come inside of your own sancutary. Keep your own light within and you are in no danger.

"But I just can't stand it." Oh, yes, you can. It will be easy after you have practised it awhile. You will find non-resistance powerful and practical. It is the only weapon fit for the warfare against error. When you recognize opposition, you lend it your own power.- Wisdom of the Ages.
