the house are ground up fine by our feet, and then set moving about in the air by the movements of people and the drafts through the room. The more mud brought

in, the more dust for us to breathe. Now that you know what mud is made of, you can see that it is not very good stuff to take into our lungs."

"O, Mamma! you won't have to tell me to wipe my feet any more. I'll do it every time, if I don't forget.”

Just then mamma took a little red notebook from her workbasket, and wrote something in it. Johnnie thought she wrote down his promise. Mamma did that sometimes, and had a queer way of letting Johnnie look over her notebook about the time when he had failed to keep his word. Today, however, she wrote:

"Get a good microscope for Johnnie's Christmas present. If he forgets to wipe his feet, show him the dangers of dust."

And that is the way Johnnie's mother helped her boy to remember to wipe his feet.-The Sunday-School Times.

APPENDECTOMY IS CRIMINAL.

BOSTON, OCTOBER 4,-"An operation for appendicitis should be called a criminal operation and should be prohibited by law," Dr. Charles E. Page, a widely known Boston physician says. "I have been following the records of appendicitis ever since the craze for appendectomy started, and I confidently believe that the day is coming when the people will finally realize that the removal of the appendix is a criminal operation. As for the widely proclaimed benefits and saving of life by the operation it seems hardly necessary to cite the long list of deaths that have followed it. Only recently we have the striking instances of Clyde Fitch, the great playwright, and Governor Johnson, of Minnesota. The surgeons removed Governor Johnson's appendix a year or so ago; they operated on him a second time and on the third he fell victim to mistaken modern theories. I have kept track of such deaths for twenty years and the list is appalling."

A Holiday Suggestion!

Send UNITY to Three of Your

Friends a Year for $2.00

You can give three friends the joy of receiving twelve presents each, during the coming year, by taking advantage of this suggestion. UNITY carires a rich cargo of truth and helpfulness that will bless the households of the ones who receive it, as it is doing thousands of homes today.

Here is what an Eastern friend thinks of UNITY:

"My dear Friends: Although only a short time ago I sent one hundred dollars for one hundred years subscription to your little magazine, I cannot help but enclose you a check for the same amount for another hundred years subscription.

I have just finished reading the October UNITY, and it has filled me so full of mustard that I intend to make Methuselah look as if he had died in the prime of life. I subscribe to ten methaphysical magazines, but to my mind not one contains as much Truth as yours; and as the minds of the people are opened more and more along these lines the greater amount of good work will you do, and the greater amount of pleasure it will be to you." Sincerely H. A. C. New York.

Write the names and addresses of the three friends plainly and enclose two one dollar bills and we will do the rest. The subscriptions may begin with December or January as you elect, and we will mail notice of subscription stating that it is a holiday gift from you so that it will reach them about Christmas day, if you request it in your order.

Remember three yearly subscriptions to UNITY for $2.00. Add 12 cents to each subscription in Canada and 25 cents to each foreign subscription. Address

MIETY OF SUE

Be still and know that I am God."

is found when many though they may be

INSPIRED BY THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. people hold the same thought there is unity, alseparted by thousands of miles, and that all who are conected with that unity are in touch with higher spiritual states, even Jesus Christ.

So there has gradually grown up this Society of Silent Unity, in which thousands in all parts of the world 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 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. To meet expenses, we ask members to send us freewill offerings, as no charge is made for any service we render.

This Society has been in existence nearly twenty years, and has about 20,000 registered members. Through its ministry thousands have been healed mentally and physically, and its power grows stronger day by day. The silent hour is 9 p. m., your local time. The Spirit will adjust geographical differences in time.

EXTRACTS

From Letters Written to Students and Patients by the Society of Silent Unity

These extracts represent the general trend of the doctrine taught at this Center, and they will be helpful to all who are under instruction or treatment:

Inharmony arises in life from a practice of thinking hinted at in your letter, “dictated but not read." Man thinks without a revision or examination of his thoughts, year upon year, accepting all that goes in the race consciousness, until some day the whole output comes back for revision or repudiation. The law of life is exact. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," and as he thinks he manifests. The manifestation is for the purpose of arousing attention, hence the cry of John, "Repent ye.”

We are enclosing instructions which will help you

if you read and observe. Salvation is a work, individ

ual to the one saved.

When you think of your body, substitute the thought, on the inclosed concentration leaf for the thought of sickness. It is as easy to hold, pleasanter to contemplate and will produce its own image as the sick thought has projected its likeness into your life.

You hit the nail square on the head when you say, "I do believe it is the will of the Lord that I should have a restored body without having to die and be re-incarnated to get it." God certainly does not want you to die. He did not make men to die, but to live, and when we learn how to live, we shall never die, and re-incarnation I will be obsolete. Re-incarnation is simply another

chance to overcome death.

You know the place of refuge and are seeking it and abiding in it. The place and rest that are in the Christ of your being are now coming forth. It is not an uncommon experience that the new adjustments are attended with in harmony. God does not require the pain, but we have not yet learned the secret of non-resistance. All the ways of wisdom are pleasantness and all her paths are peace. Then the necessity is to seek wisdom in order that we may be guided in painless joy to the heart of the Kingdom.

Much of our difficulty comes from the mental habit of shifting the unmanifest to the manifest without holding the intermediate stages. The thought should be evenly balanced at the two poles, the invisible and the visible. Jesus said, "I came forth from the Father, and I am come into the world." This is the balance, the consciousness of the unmanifest and the manifest held simultaneously to the end that all the steps of creation are held in perfect balance.
