It does not seem strange that with all the spiritual feasts which the Unity people of Kansas City enjoy, there should be once in a while a substantial symbol of the Great Bounty of God, in the form of a banquet. Well, these people had a banquet in the Inn.

The Inn is a vegetarian restaurant, an adjunct of the new Unity Building, and it is doing fine work. Wonderfully delicious and satisfying meals are served there three times a day, and no meat or animal fats are used in the cooking. The compensation is free-will offerings. This Inn is educating the people, and keeping the bodies of its boarders in excellent condition while their spiritual natures are unfolding. Mrs. Filkin is the manager, and everybody is glad of it.

But we wish now to speak of a special feast, a banquet given the Board of Directors and their consorts at the Inn, Monday evening, September 24th, by the President of Unity Society of Practical Christianity, Mr. William G. Haseltine, and his wife.

The dining rooms of the Inn were decorated with draperies of purple and white, Unity's colors. The long table with plates for thirty was a beautiful sight. A large bunch of tritomas and fern leaves furnished the centerpiece. Delicate fern leaves were gracefully arranged upon the table in designs radiating from the central boquet, and ensnaring a vase of carnations at each end of the great white table cloth. A card with the name of the guest was beside each plate, with a carnation.

After all were seated, Mr. Charles Fillmore gave he thought, which was held in the silence a few

minutes: "May this abundance continue always through the power of spiritual understanding."

The appreciation of the feast then began in earnest, and a contented silence pervailed, broken only by outbursts of wit and pleasant greetings, together with friendly remarks and the merry sound of knives and forks. After all had finished, the glasses were well filled with good, pure water, and the following toasts were given:

"The Society of Silent Unity," by Mr. Charles Fillmore; "Unity Tract Society," by Mr. Charles Edgar Prather; "The Woman's Auxiliary," by Mrs. Myrtle Fillmore; "Unity Society of Practical Christianity," by Mr. Daniel Hoagland; "The New Thought Center," by Judge H. H. Benson; "The Unity Building," by Mr.. J. I. Wallace; "The Joyful Circle," by Mr. Lowell Fillmore.

These toasts were crisp with good thoughts and warm with good feelings.

Mr. Charles Fillmore dismissed the party, those present going to the regular Monday evening Healing meeting and the Board meeting. Thus ended one of the never-to-be-forgotten events in the history of the Unity people.

Following is the menu of the dinner given at the "big doings:"

Next month we will tell how these were prepared.

CONVENTION NUMBER.

This issue of UNITY is made np almost entirely of addresses delivered during Dedication Week. Not all appear because of lack of space, also failure to get stenograph notes of the Dedication Day was especiextemporaneous addresses. ally rich in short speeches by the Board of Trustees, and members of the congregation, who were invited to give one-minute talks. The spiritual fervor ran so high on that day that a large portion of the congregation was in tears, not of sorrow, but of joy. Many remarked after the session that in all their experience they had never been in a congregation of people where more earnestness and spiritual unity was manifest. The power of the Spirit was so strong that the very atmosphere of the room was luminous and vibrant. It was truly a Pentecostal Day.

Some folks say that Elbert Hubbard, editor of the Philistine, is getting to be a full-fledged mental scientist. We have observed that he preaches pretty straight doctrine, and his observations of men and things are always worth reading. It is generally admitted that his equal as a linguist cannot be found. another column is an "Extra Special" offer to those who desire to subscribe for the incomparable Philistine and Little Journeys. The publications of the Roycrofters are in a class by themselves. They are so sure that their books will please you that they will send them on inspection, to be returned if not satisfactory.

THE UNITY EMBLEM AND THE BUILDING FUND.

Many of our members have for a long time been desirous of securing a pin bearing our emblem-the winged world -- but have been unable to secure same, or unwilling to pay the large amount asked by jewelers for articles of this kind. In order to satisfy their desire to wear their emblem, and because we believe that every member of our Society will be benefited by wearing one, we have arranged with an extensive manufacturer to make a large quantity of these pins at once, and we have been able to get them at a price so low that we can offer them at one dollar each, and have a little profit left which will go into our building fund. These pins will be ready for distribution in a few days, and as the demand for them will be great, we advise that you send in your dollar at once, and the pin will be forwarded to you.

The following excerpts from a letter written by Meroe C. Parmelee, of Chicago, dated Sept. 14, at 181 Cromwell Rd., London, will be of interest to our readers:

My trip to Europe, though quite an unexpected one, has been so pleasant in every way. I had dear friends here but I have met many more, and, best of all, I have been able to present the glad tidings to many individuals, both here and in France.

1 was greeted heartily at the Higher Thought Center here. I spoke at the Center, Sunday, August 26th, and again Sept. 30th. Also led the Health Class for the week.

In Paris I met three ladies who take UNITY, and said they were greatly helped by its teachings. These people are not so loth to accept the whole Truth as I had been led to suppose. O, if we only trust the Spirit within to guide us, we shall give the milk and the meat of the Word at the right time and in the right form. am here to deny that ambition or personal jealousy shall or can make any delay in the ongoing of this great spiritual movement.

I sail on the Baltic of the White Line, Oct. 10th, from Liverpool.

I have spent two weeks with Mrs. Militz since my arrival; she has just finished her classes at Nottingham and goes to Bristol and Exeter, opening at the Higher Thought Center, Oct. 1st. She has a fine class here.

I shall reach Chicago about Nov. 1st.
