Wee Wisdom's Birthday Number

The Birthday Number of WEE WISDOM has a specially designed cover by our young artist, representing the Wee hostess in the act of cutting her Birthday cake.

As if discerning the intentions of our artist, Wee Wee Benham tells in her poem, on the inside cover, all about the making, baking and decorating of this wonderful cake, and what it holds for each Wee guest.

The Wee Wisdom Club comes in for attention next, and interests us in its preliminary preparations for the Birthday party, after which we are personally introduced to the members that have arrived.

Donald V.Strandberg, of Nevada, a seven-year-old, contributes a little sketch of Billiken with hand-printed happy rhymes, adapted to the occasion. Master Donald has also written a very interesting letter and sent one of his Health Pillows, which you will find on the back cover.

A group of little Southerlands, from North Carolina, claim our attention next, and then Doris Harriet Drew tells us in pretty rhyme about Grandmother's Garden. On the next page "The Mask Lifted," we find in place of a queer little colored boy, Hazel Davis, one of our Kansas City Wees.

Winnie Rowley, of Colorado entertains us next with "Janet's Angel," and Florence Mason, of California, tells the story of “The Hummingbird." Then there are original drawings by Ethel Melber, Sallie Pettinger, Thelma Seger, Ruth Fraser and Margaret Epsmeter. The bright faces of little Ella Marvel, Verna Geski, Janet Hardy, Tessie and Theodore Wallace, Johnnie Stolle and Newell Green also appear.

There are letters galore. Dorothy Dambmann tells of winning a $75 prize for story-writing in The New York Herald and winning also a place on the Grand prize list. She contributes an original poem "The Mist." Among other conquests reported is that of Elsie Foley, an Australian Wee, who entered a big spelling match between several schools, and though the youngest of them all she stood her ground from 8:30 to 11:30 p. m., and won the prize. Wee Wee Benham tells of a prize won from St. Nicholas. Willie Bell gives an interesting description of the Eskimos seen at the Alaska-Yukon Exposition.

From cover to cover the Birthday WEE WISDOM is too interesting to miss. The young editors, Blanche and Royal, have contributed their part and have done exceedingly well.

WEE WISDOM is wholesome reading for both young and old. If you have not already received her visits send 50 cents to Unity Tract Society, 913 Tracy Ave., Kansas City, Mo., and invite her to visit you this year.

that Truth is so simple, and that an exact science of thought will make our lives what we will, seems almost too wonderful to be true, but I thank God every moment that I know him and his Truth as given out through you, his beloved children.—Mrs. S.

THE DEMONSTRATION OF A STUDENT

This letter dated July 17th was received by the Unity Correspondence School from a student:

Your letter of June 20th, in which you ask me to re-write my first lesson and make it three times as long, has remained unanswered because I have not been able to add even a page. You say, take it daily into the Silence in meditation. I am situated so, not being in a home of my own, that I haven't five minutes daily to myself. What am I to do? About six weeks from now I think I can be by myself some but don't know as that will help me to find words to write. I want the lessons so much, but seemed to have done the best I could.-- L. K.

Before our reply could reach her, the following, dated July 19th came to us from her:

more.

After weeks of trying to re-write my lesson I finally gave it up and wrote you Saturday that I couldn't even write a half page I did this with regret. That night after retiring I couldn't sleep. At one thirty at night, I arose and read UNITY. All at once the lesson came to me. I thought of so much I could write. About an hour later I retired. The next morning I again commenced to read UNITY and again the lesson came up in my mind so strong that I couldn't read. I laid UNITY down and commenced to write among people talking. Was interrupted time and time again. I have been able to write more than you asked. Many beautiful thoughts came so fast and by not being alone I was not able always to write them as beautiful as they came to me. I can see the rough edges. This may not seem wonderful to you. I had worked so hard, just to write the two pages I sent you before, and had tried so earnestly to re-write more, and to have all this come to me so easy, to me it is wonderful. Not that I think my paper is so good in one sense, but it will always be good to me. I don't think it possible for any one to enjoy ÚNITY and the first lesson more than I. How could anything be better than July UNITY? I wish it could come weekly. I'll pay four times as much for it.— L. K.

We are glad to print these letters because they are so clearly a fulfillment of Before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear." This friend reached out in real prayer for help. There was a sincere desire to do the work, and a sincere call upon God for the wisdom and confidence to do it, and swiftly the answer came. When she put her petition definitely in a letter, it was not long until her problem was solved. Often, we have known instances of the quick manifestation of the healing. or prospering power of the Spirit. Many letters have come to us saying that healing or a change for good along financial lines came

with the posting of a letter asking help. The Law will work along all lines. It may not always be necessary to write a letter, but as soon as there is a sincere definite request made in faith for help it will come. If there are other students who are discouraged over seeming inability to do unaccustomed work in giving expression to their understanding, we trust they will profit by this friend's experience, and earnestly pray for the freedom to give full expression to the Truth.

A Letter From Mr. and Mrs, P. D. Benham, Dayton, Tenn,

We want to organize a Truth Center on a beautiful Island in the Tennessee River. This Island contains seven hundred and forty acres, and is nearly all under cultivation; is six miles from Dayton, Tenn., and by river, is forty miles above Chattanooga, Tenn.; boats pass twice a week.

The Island is higher than the main land. The water is soft, and the climate delightful, the land is rich.

Any family or families of our Unity household, who would like to unite with us there, can have a home on this beautiful Island. Those who are ready to turn labor into employment, who are ready to “turn their spears into plow shares, and their swords into pruning hocks," may answer this call: for health, happiness and prosperity are now awaiting there for any who are ready.

Address all communications to Mrs. J. Virginia Benham, Dayton Tenn. R. F. D. No. 2.

In the June, 1909, number of UNITY we printed Lesson Two of our Correspondence Course as written by one of our students. We did not expect to publish another of the same lesson but we recently received one which pleased us so much that we wish to give it to our readers, and it therefore appears on page 76 of this issue. We are delighted with the lesson on account of the writer's strong grasp of the Truth about eternal life and its demonstration. UNITY stands for this demonstration, and we value as contributors those who have the faith and understanding to teach it positively and clearly. We commend this lesson to all our readers, especially to students of our Correspondence School.

To all subscribers who are changing place of residence, or contemplating doing so:-It is very necessary that we receive your change of address by the 10th of the month; otherwise your copy will go to the old address and you will lose it.

[This is Lesson Three of the Primary Course of the Unity Correspondeace School, written by Alice Varney, a student.]

We sometimes fail to reach the depth of meaning in the ancient writings called the Bible, because we see in them merely historical facts or use them as a ¦ guide to morals or to a future salvation. They contain, however, a most wonderful description in symbol of the creative action of God's mind and the unfoldment of the soul in its development.

Just as Jesus taught his greatest lessons in parables or story form, so the Old Testament is allegorical in character, but this does not lessen the value of the teaching. We prove this by Paul. He was a Hebrew scholar, well versed in their Scriptures. In Galations 4:22, he tells us that the story of Abraham and his two sons is an allegory. Then he goes on and gives us the hidden lesson which the story contains. He tells us that these two sons mean covenants. One is for them in bondage to the flesh-“ born of a bond-woman;" the other is for the "free-born child of promise;" then he opens up a teaching full of rich. spiritual truth.

The story of the exodus from Egypt means something more than history. We see in it the journey through the wilderness of sense to the realm of harmony, or the kingdom of heaven within us. The orthodox church often sees it as history, or as the progress of man from earth to heaven; failing to see that the kingdom of God is on earth, within us.
