have often felt, "Oh, well it won't come anyway." But if we have faith, all things will come to us.

Mrs. John Orr: Prosperity means so much to me in so many different ways. I must say we have prospered wonderfully since we came here.

Mrs. Riddle: I feel that I would be under condemnation if I should go away from here and not say something about the benefit I have received. It would be taking too much time to tell you what I felt like and what I looked like when my friends brought me here. I had not heard much about this Truth, and it seemed so wonderfully strange, but I came. I had wanted to die, but when Mr. Fillmore began talking to me it seemed as if new life came into me. The first thing he said was, "Do you believe in God?" I said, "I do." He gave me a treatment, and though it had been months that I could not sleep, I slept that night. In about three months I was perfectly well.

Mrs. Herriott: I agree with what Judge Benson says in regard to perseverance. Jesus Christ told us not only to seek the kingdom of heaven, but he said, Believing, ye shall receive." Now, if we ask and do not believe, it is not likely we shall receive. I have proved that of which I speak. I asked God for money to pay my debts and He sent it, and now I build our church.

am asking God for money to
Ask, believing, and it will surely come to pass.

Mrs. LaCrosse: God says, "Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you." I have done so, and it has proved true. I asked for money, and held the thought that it was already in my possession. The demonstration came in the shape of four dollars. When I ask God to help me in my healing, He always does it.

Mr. Dunn: .When I began coming here I could scarcely see the house. I have been seventeen or eighteen months in this way of science and of knowledge. I had a great hungering and thirsting for righteousness. I wanted the perfect Divine Presence that fullness of God. As for these other things, I know they will be added anyway.

Monday Evening Healing Meeting. Held at Unity Headquarters, 913 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Charles Fillmore, speaker.

Silent Thought: I clothe myself safely round with Infinite Love and Wisdon.

True healing is the perfect expression of all the abilities of the man. Many people think that the healing thought comes wholly through silence, or being quiet. There is an everywhere present invisible Force. You probably observed that as we sit in the silence you feel what some people call a vibration-something that is moving upon you-an invisible Presence. These Forces that manifest through life are quiet, invisible, undemonstrative, yet they are the source of all action, and action is necessary to their expression. So we must get somewhat of an understanding of how the law of expression works. The manner in which you give forth this which you get from the invisible has a great deal to do with the healing process.

Some people get full of this vital Substancethey accumulate it, but do not give it off. Such people become lazy and grow fat. They find it more comfortable to sit still. In my own case I sometimes find it necessary to move about. Sometimes in the silence you will doze off and fall asleep, because you are tired; that is probably all right, but when you find that you are not mentally alert you should get up and move about until you get the faculties into action. Both the mind and the body must be in a certain line of action, they must be conscious before this Principle can come into expression. You are either living or you are dying, and it rests with you which you are doing. If there is lethargy setting in, it is very evident that you are not living, you are simply existing and waiting for something to turn up, and if you are not careful you will turn up your toes. You must get a move on yourself.

There are two ways of living in the world. is through active expression of the powers within,

and the other is a repression, or smothering, of the life in man. Now, in our system of education we have gone through a complete transformation in methods. A simple minded German teacher originated a new method, the kindergarten, and said that everything was within the child, and that all that was needed was to bring it out. His whole system is one of expression-you just let it bloom out. We are trying the same now in healing, and instead of holding this power within our minds, we are giving it absolute freedom.

In the medical schools today you will find the preponderance of the practice is toward repression. Instead of giving wider expression to life, its avenues of expression are cut off-anything to stop pain and do away with the physical condition. Now, pain is an outer indicator of something wrong within, which should be sought and removed, then pain will cease.

A few days ago I was called to see a lady who was supposed to have consumption. She was taken suddenly ill, and the physician said it was quick consumption; he also said that all they could do was to give her stimulants and get her to Arizona. I treated the lady, and saw by the Spirit she did not have any trouble of the lungs at all. I discerned that her trouble was what might be termed pleurisy. In a few treatments she responded, and that congested condition and cough passed away. The lady had told the doctor that she did not have any confidence in his treatments, but she did have confidence in the power of God. I was there one evening when the doctor called, and I waited, as I wanted to see how a doctor did.

He took out a little tube, and then called for a glass of water. He pulled out his watch and felt of her pulse. He asked for another glass of water-he had several people waiting on him. He looked wise, called for more water, and then he had a four-quart glass fruit can filled with whiskey, horseraddish and rock candy, for her cough-as she afterwards told me.

His system was wholly external he was trying to treat each particular symptom by itself without removing the central cause, which was a stoppage of life action in her system.

He said to me, "I suppose you are a Christian Scientist?"

I said, “No, I am a metaphysician."

"Well," said he, "you find it convenient, once in a while, to have doctors around to help you out, don't you?"

I replied, “No, I don't have doctors around when I can help it."

We parried along that line for a little while, and he left me to restore the patient to normal circulation, which was done through mind action on the various centres of the organism. She is now up and about, and her cough has entirely disappeared.

All that Nature requires, all that Being requires, is expression. Let the life come into you, and you will not have any trouble at all. How shall you do that? By being yourself. It is the Spirit that makes people well, that is, the Spirit that gives expression to the life force within you. You will find that the more you stand up and declare your independent right to express your life, the more vitality you will have. You and the Father are one. My Father is a great universal joy and happiness.

This lady of whom I spoke had a cough, and they gave her that horse-medicine because there was a tickling in her throat. I said, “You do not want to put out that tickling, but just get more and more tickled, until the cough is removed."

A lovely woman was just recently put out of the body through this repressive method. She had a growth that might have been removed through increasing her circulation, but the doctor said, "Kill the growth." He did, and killed the patient also.

Let perfect life flow to every extremity. Let the life go to the uttermost parts of your being, and you will get a full expression. The Divine Life is wait

ing to express. Freedom is what we want. We want to be unshakled. We are in bondage worse than slaves. Let us declare our freedom, and put it into manifestation. If, in holding thoughts in the silence, you find that certain parts of your organism seem bound and inactive, just declare that that part is free, and if you do not get a response, throw your mind and muscles together. I have healed a great deal of stomach trouble, and I find if you put your hands on your stomach, and mentally concentrate upon that organ, you can throw force into it. Now stop a minute and say, I express the fullness, and the force, and the vigor, and the vitality of the Spirit. This will heal any case of dyspepsia that is caused from indigestion or weakness of the stomach. Many people have a lack of muscular power in the stomach. Throw away your corsets, declare your strength and power, and manipulate your stomach within and without. This mode of applying the mind can be directed to every part of the body, so system of healing is scientific.

you see this This life force is

ours to use through the body. Are you using it ignorantly or understandingly?

The infallible healer of all the ailments of the inner man is Love. Love clears away the clouds and mists; it puts out the fires of anger; dries up the sores of envy; shields the heart from assassinating hatred; it rescues from vanity the decaying mindsubstance, and thaws out the frost-bound vital energies of the timid man.-ALEX E. GIBSON.

Great is the condition of a man who lets rewards take care of themselves - come if they will or fail to come, but goes on his way, true to the truth, simply because it is true; strongly loyal to the right for its pure righteousnesss.- PHILLIPS BROOKS.

Teach by your lives.-BONAR.
