we also recommend the recently added Part One-it will help them in the work. It is prepared especially for and shows how to present the Truth in a clear, logical, direct way to beginners.

Our Correspondence School is sustained by free-will offerings, and every student is expected to settle the amount of his offerings by referring the question directly to the Spirit of Justice as expressed within himself.

The following words of appreciation have been received recently from students in our School:

Kansas City, Mo.-I enjoy the study of Lesson One very much indeed. I feel that it is a personal message to me.—Mrs. M. A. B.

Mt. Vernon, Iowa-I am absorbing the truths of Lesson Six as fast as I can. Each lesson opens up to me more fully the meaning of those I have studied before. How simple, yet how wonderful, in strength and possibility the teaching of Scripture as interpreted by practical Christianity.-A. W.

Wadena, Minn.-The ideas of attainment and development in Lesson Three are surely marvelous.-Mrs. H. A. N.

Portville, N. Y.-I am returning the answers to questions on Lesson One. I am drawing upon the Divine Idea of Supply and Plenty, and wish to share with you a recent unexpected demonstration. Please receive the inclosed check as evidence.-M. B. P.

Fort Worth, Texas-I inclose answers to questions on Lesson Six. I feel wonderfully blessed and strengthened through the truths taught in these lessons. The fruit of the teaching is beginning to manifest in my body and affairs.-C. D. E.

Gall, Ont.-I have just finished writing Lesson Six. It is a wonderful lesson, and opens up much in a new, startling light that I never thought of before. I have realized as never before my oneness with God, and the depth and greatness of Divine Love. Jesus Christ makes the circuit complete between God and man. He never fails nor forsakes us, and we conquer through the Christ consciousness. As we follow the Light, he unfolds to us gradually what our work for him is to be. We realize the great liberty which is ours, and our right to claim abundant eternal life.—J. M. A.

Shakopee, Minn.—I am sending herewith my last work on Lesson Four. I am grateful to be allowed to take the course. It is the most lucid work I have ever engaged upon, and I thank you for the privilege.-E. E. E.

Graham Station, Cal.-I am sending back Lesson Six and am ready for the questions. Each lesson grows more interesting, and more plain, and this lesson on the Creative Word is simply fine.C. J.

WEE WISDOM

"As the twig is bent so the tree is inclined," is an old, but true adage. Child cultivation is vital cultivation. The proper time to develop the spirit of Divine Love is at the receptive age of childhood, then it grows to be an essential part of man.

Recognizing this need we founded Wee Wisdom, a child's monthly magazine, devoted to encouraging the Christ Spirit in the

young.

The child must have ideals else it has no goal. If the ideals be high, the goal is high.

The editors of Wee Wisdom are striving to keep the ideals of this little paper of such a nature that fear, doubt and disappointment vanish from its readers, and confidence, love and joy take their place.

Children readily adopt the ideas taught in Wee Wisdom, but it is the parents who must pave the way for its coming.

Fifty cents a year is not a very large sum to spend in spiritualizing the mind of your child. That is all Wee Wisdom costs for twelve months.

Sample copies may be obtained by addressing a request for the same to Unity Tract Society, 915 Tracy Ave., Kansas City, Mo.

THE WORK OF THE SILENT SEVENTY

A little over two years ago, it occurred to us that a band of silent workers was needed to spread the Truth so that all who hungered might be fed with the Living Word. The following call for volunteers was printed in the May, 1910, UNITY:

"The Lord appointed seventy others and sent them into every city and place and he said unto them, The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Behold I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. Howbeit in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.'

"The above extract from Luke 10, constitutes all that is known of the Seventy that Jesus commissioned to do his work. Not a single name is given, and no specific incident of their mission is mentioned, yet they exercised the power of the Spirit, because the record is that they returned with joy, saying, 'Lord, even the devils are subject unto us in thy name. We have named them 'The Silent Seventy,' and we want just such a band of workers to help teach the people the health-giving gospel of Jesus Christ in this age. This is a labor of love, in which the purse and the glory of men plays small part."

In response there was a continuous stream of requests

for membership. In a few days the first Seventy had been enrolled. They were called the "A" Seventy. Soon another Seventy was entered. These were known as the "B" Seventy. Now we are ready to enter into the "R" Seventy, and the enthusiasm grows with the increase in numbers.

Literature is supplied free of charge to the members in the form of tracts and magazines. The work is supported by free-will offerings from both members and those interested in the Truth, who can more readily donate currency than distribute literature.

There is nothing binding in membership, and we welcome all who have an opportunity of passing on a "boost" to a fellow being. The members are supposed to write the secretary once in a while and tell him how the work is progressing.

The following extracts show the spirit of the work:

Paso Robles, Cal.-As one of the Silent Seventy, I write to you with a heart full of thankfulness that I am permitted to work in this holy cause. I had thought I loved the work before I became one of this band of workers, but it seems very different now, because one can do so much more as one of an organization than he can of himself, and I honestly believe that I have been permitted to bring a ray of light into many souls darkened by ignorance.

Frankfort, Mich.-I am sure the work is going on silently and steadily. I find so many persons needing just such help. How abundantly we receive when we give only a little, and how wonderfully Good is multiplied. Surely "good measure, pressed down, shaken together." I. H. N. S-70-D 10.

Seattle, Wash.-I have received several packages of literature, also your letter today, and thank you very much. I am so much happier and better since joining in your work, and will be an earnest worker. I feel like I had something to live for, and learn something every day. I. H. N. S-70-O 36.

Boston, Mass.-I thank you for the package of literature which you sent to me last week. It will be given out to those who are in need of help with the consciousness that every true word will accomplish its results. It sometimes seems strange to me that I am 80 anxious to have every one know the Truth as I have learned to know it, when in years previous I did not feel that I had anything worth passing on to others. Now I can hardly withhold speaking, even when I know that those to whom I am talking are not in sympathy with this movement. However, I often feel, "What is that to thee? follow thou me!" I am very glad that I have been enrolled as a member of the Silent Seventy, because I now feel that whenever I speak the

Word of Truth or send out Divine Thoughts, I am helping to carry out some definite work.

Seattle, Wash.

Dear Unity-I want you to know how far-reaching are those living thoughts which you put into print in your UNITY magazine. It may prove interesting to all of you to read the following brief account of an unfoldment which is rather unusual, but none the less blessed:

In August, 1910, four of us penetrated the unexplored section of Alaska, which lies west of Cook's Inlet and extends to Bering Sea. We were of course compelled by necessity to travel as "light" as possible. I chose my library accordingly, seeking the precious collection which would say the most and would weigh the least of any within my knowledge, consequently one-half dozen UNITY magazines constituted the entire library.

One member of our party (whom I will call Featherstone) was an experienced Alaskan trapper; was wholly uneducated, but intelligent, generous and kind. He was born in Texas, and early in life had learned profanity to an unbearable extent, also exhausted all revenue for drink. During the winter I would occasionally select a line from UNITY which I thought he might understand, and read it to him aloud. After Christmas he went farther up the river alone to conduct his trapping, and, to my surprise, asked for "one of them UNITYS" to take with him. I gave him two with my blessing. Two months later he visited us, during which time not a profane word escaped him. The change was so marked and so wholesome that I asked him what had happened, to which he radiantly replied, "Waal sah! ah never knowed before that there was eny sich good people in the world es them thar Unity folks in Kansas City! I'll never sware no more!" "Good boy! Featherstone," I fairly shouted; "you are on the right track." When, after a pause, he continued with force, "An' I shore won't drink no more whisky, neither."

Shortly after this he left us for Nushagak (on Bering Sea) and in April I ran to the mouth of the Kuskokwim River on a gold "stampede," and who did I find upon my arrival but Featherstone! He had located a paying claim, and we were close neighbors until the following December, and he kept both of his resolutions. With all my heart, God bless "them Unity folks."

The article, "The Lord's Supper," in September UNITY, may be had in tract form, 20 pages, one copy 5 cents; five copies 10 cents, Unity Tract Society, Kansas City, Mo.

THE GOSPEL AND HOLY SPIRIT

CHARLES FILLMORE

OSPEL is an Anglo-Saxon word derived from God (good) and spell (story, tidings). It is now universally identified with Jesus Christ's mission and the doctrine which has grown out of it. So when we speak of the Gospel it is understood that we refer to that system of religious beliefs which have clustered about the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.

But as to what that gospel is in detail there are many opinions. The church says it is the plan of salvation for men which is set forth in their dogmas and creeds. But that plan, that formulation of doctrine, those creeds and dogmas, were set up three hundred years after Jesus taught and demonstrated. There is no authority from him or his disciples for them. They are the work of men who had an industry to sustain known as the church, and a privileged class of people to provide for, called the clergy. These had become an important part of the body politic, and it was thought best to organize them according to human ideas, hence the church creed and the church governThis was the Catholic church, and the Protestant church is its offspring. All that the Protestants count dear as doctrine they borrowed from the Catholics, who patched it together from early Christianity and paganism. not the pure Christianity of Jesus Christ and there is from
