A VERY STRONG ENDORSEMENT. NT.!

Just before the November UNITY went to press we received a communication from a subscriber, enclosing a copy of a letter written by her employer, a lawyer, to a friend whom he greatly desired to help.

We take the liberty of printing this letter without permission of any of the parties mentioned, hence do not give names. The book referred to is "Christian Healing," by Charles Fillmore.

"If you are ready for this book and this kind of work and will read it attentively and studiously, it will to a very great extent. reveal a new world to you and will relieve you of your habits of worry, restlessness, peevishness, and will help your temper as it has helped me. I imagine, indeed, I think I know, that you worry over foolish things, let your temper get away with you and are needlessly restless; in other words, you are afflicted with obsession, and, I apprehend, to a greater degree than I was.

The things set forth in this book are not new matters, but are old ideas revived and put into practice. A new light is thrown upon them by these modern writers.

If you cannot disassociate the idea of medicine, or mate- . rial matters, in your consideration of these subjcets, I have another book called "Mental Medicine,” which does not go quite so far as Mr. Fillmore does and which is a book written and published by a John Hopkins man. If, later, you want to read it, I shall be glad for you to do so.

Let me venture this prediction: a careful, calm, dispassionate reading of the various chapters in this book will do you more good that all the sermons you have heard preached in the last forty years, will give you more spirituality, bring you nearer to God and will, consequently, be of incalculable benefit to you.

These hurried suggestions that I make to you are personal to you; that is, I do not make them for other people, but I have always felt a kind interest in you and I want to see if this kind of study (and it is endless, because there are numerous disquisitions along this line by eminent men,) when embraced, adopted and practiced by you, will not change your entire life as it has changed mine in the last six months, and give you cause for endless joy and rejoicing. This book has

done me more good than anything else I have ever studied, and has changed the whole tenor of my life. I do not worry, I have gained greater control of my temper and I sleep and rest better, and I firmly believe that it will have the same effect on you. I predict that you will be more cheerful, you will be happier every way and will find the kingdom of heaven right here on earth now.”

GREAT WORKING CAPITAL

The body and soul of man respond to faith by doing their best, just as they respond to fear by doing their worst. Faith never injured the heart action. Faith sends no scalding tears to the eyes. Faith never closes the saliva glands and shuts off the gastric juices. Faith never slackens up the nerves and muscles. Faith sends no vapors to the brain. No; it steadies the heart, dries the tears, moistens the lips, stiffens the nerves and actually clears the brain. Do not let any one rob you of your faith. Let them rob you of riches and reputation, but hold on to your faith. It is the finest kind of working capital for body and brain in the business of life.—Rev L. H. Ruge.

A CONTRIBUTED SUGGESTION

As our readers already know, our Board of Directors have bought building space adjoining the present Unity structure, and it has been decided to begin work next Spring on a new building in which to enlarge the work of publshing, correspondence, and general business facilities. This new building will also make possible the fuller development of the Unity vegetarian Inn idea, an important feature of our general work.

The total cost of lot and building aggregate $50,000.

It has been suggested that the Thanksgiving season be observed by the Unity family, world over, as a time for blessing the new project, and for speaking prosperity words for the fund necessary to carry out the plan.

The new obligation has been entered into because of the growing demands of the work. We all are more than thankful that the Father is using the Unity teaching as an evangel of hope and healing. We all have been blessed in this work of reciprocal help. In view of these facts, it is further suggested that members be given opportunity to make a Thanksgiving

offering toward the expenses involved. No one is solicited, but doubtless many will feel it a privilege to be permitted to make a financial acknowledgment of gratitude for the good received from the work.

Whatever part you take in this Thanksgiving observance, let it be with the knowledge that God gives the increase. Speak the word with the assurance that he guarantees its certain return, richly blessed in the good for which it was sent forth. Make the offering in the acknowledgement of God omnipresent, the substance of all that appears. Whatever we give, let us give as the Spirit of Justice and Love prompts. -I. O. S.

A mother who desired to raise her baby boy without meat has been having much opposition in the family, but finally succeeded in convincing them that it could be done, as evidenced by this extract from her letter:

I wish I might shout this from the housetops instead of just writing it.

Those who told me a week ago, that "I was starving" my child because I gave him no meat, today laughingly say that they believe I "got scared and went to feeding him meat on the sly." His cheeks are like big red apples and his eyes so bright and full of mischief. He wants to romp all the time and is so strong that it is all I can do to manage him. I shall soon have to call on you for added strength for our playtime, if he continues.-M. C. M.

IN APPRECIATION OF

UNITY

It is a joy and an inspiration to any one who reads over the letters that come to Unity each day. Even the business letters ordering subscriptions and books are not ordinary business letters. They are all filled with words of love, thanksgiving and praise. These good letters prove the satisfying good that UNITY is helping people to cultivate and find. They joyfully pass their copies of UNITY on to others that they may also be helped. Here are a few extracts from every day letters:

I have received so many blessings from the UNITY, and all the rest of the books, that it would take a large book to write them all in, so I could not do without them.-M. L. S.

I have taken UNITY a number of years and have received so much of good that I feel I can not get along without it. In fact I have at times, many times, just lived on the truths in UNITY. It is certainly a sure refuge in time of storm and distress, and you are doing a wonderful work.

-E. M. C.

About three years ago I sent for a sample copy of UNITY, read it and thought it was very good, but laid it away with a lot of other good reading. The other day I felt I wanted something good to read and I picked out this old copy of UNITY and I found it was just full of beautiful teaching, just what I seemed to want and I am so sorry that I have missed three years of this beautiful reading. Find enclosed two dollars for a three years' subscription, as stated in UNITY and oblige.-F. F.

We daily receive benefits from the lessons we learn in UNITY. The health of the family is better than formerly and we find lessons in every day happenings that we would not notice when we were under the old teachings.—J. C. F.

Dear Friends: Just one year ago, I came into fellowship with you and now it would be next to impossible to get along without my UNITY magazine and its lovely class thoughts, which I am fixing like some do little pictures called Passepartout, and they hang all around the walls in my little study room.-C. E. F.

Enclosed find $1.00 to pay for subscription of UNITY till August 1909. I could not get along without it and want to thank you for what you have done for me. I am feeling much better and hope to improve more and more all the time. Sincerely,-Dr E. K. R.

Dear Friends: UNITY is wonderful, I always carry a copy and tracts, on trains, when engaged in my daily duties teaching music. I say "always" when I have only known of it since last November, but it seems as if I had only just began to live since I took UNITY.-F. B. W.

So

UNITY comes to us with so much that is helpful. much that will give health, new life, new hope to every reader. Surely the Spirit and the Life is with you, and you are indeed feeding the hungry with the true bread. May God bless you in your glorious work.-E. R.
