A TREATMENT FOR HARMONY IN THE
HOME

Every one in this house wants to do what is right.
We are all peaceful, calm and harmonious.

We love one another.

We feel kindly toward one another.

We have charity each for the other.

We do not notice nor condemn each other's faults. We are all children of God on our upward way, and by our every thought and every act we each one are trying to help the other members of the family.

We are trying to do the will, and thus prove our doctrine that God is Love.-From "Simplified Lessons," by F. Harley.

The mother who is willing to study the philosophy of the kindergarten, but is unwilling to take its handwork, is much like the man or woman who, wishing to become an artist, studies beautiful scenery and haunts great picture galleries, but who neglects to learn the technique of his or her profession.

Take, for example, the advantage it is to a woman who has any dealings with children, to know how to improvise toys to suit the occasion. It gives to the mother, kindergartner, or nurse who is thus equipped, not only the power to amuse and entertain any child with whom she may come in contact, but it helps her to make his play-world more real to him, and this causes him to enter more heartily into his play. He thus gains the habit of entering heartily into whatever he undertakes. The value of this habit can hardly be overestimated.-Elizabeth Harrison.

BABY CLOTHES

[Republished by request.]

Oh, we who are making baby clothes

For a hope which will soon come true,
Do we take the pains with the works of our heart
As with that which our fingers do?

For, as we fashion the garments small,
With seam, and hem, and fell,
Our thoughts, be they careless, sad or glad,
Are shaping a life as well.

We are helping God this gift to make,
Which a blessing or sorrow may prove;
He gives us the fabric new and clean,
We fashion it with our love.

How careful are we that our hands be clean,
When we work on the garments white;
Do we pray that the heart keeps true its trust,
And our thoughts be clean and bright?

The clothes, at most, will soon wear out,
The thoughts remain for aye;

The clothes may be washed, if stains we see,
The thoughts are there to stay.

"Is not the life more than raiment," He said,
Who unclothed in a manger lay;
Whose life was so holy and pure a thing,
He gave it to show us the way.

Then our heart sings, as our fingers fly,

A tune so pure and bright,

That the baby heart may be happy and glad,
And pure as these garments white.

And when many years have passed away,
And the work of our hands is gone,
We will gather a harvest rich and rare

From the seeds that our hearts have sown.

PROSPERITY

THOUGHT

October 20 to November 20, 1912

Held daily at 12 m.

The All-Providing Substance of Spirit is every-
where present. I mold it with my thought
and make it tangible with my faith.

PROSPERITY THOUGHT

The All-Providing Substance of Spirit is everywhere present. I mold it with my thought and make it tangible with my faith.

A good observer of the ways of manifestation has said, "We are always negative to that which we watch. It melts down our old ways and seats itself within us."

To fully appreciate this statement needs careful consideration, else we miss the wonderful law it embodies, namely, that the ideas to which we lend our attention are shaped by our thought and made visible by our faith.

This being the law of expression, the eyes of our mind must watch steadfastly the shining patterns of Divine Ideas to embody them in our lives.

Some have watched the idea of Wholeness until it has unseated all their ailments, and enthroned itself in them as health and strength.

Some have steadfastly held the possibility of Joy until it became a glowing reality in them.

Some have centered their attention upon Peace until her white presence has enfolded every purpose of their lives.

Some have held before them the idea of Love until all feelings of distrust and hatred have given way to the activity of loving-kindness.

Some have longed for Wisdom until meagerness and inability of intellect have given place in them to genius. and intelligence.

We are asked in this month's Thought to hold ourselves receptive to the idea of the All-Providing Substance, and to watch it until all the old thoughts of lack and poverty are melted down, and we are established in the abiding consciousness of inexhaustible Substance and Supply.

The success of our demonstration will depend upon the faithfulness with which we apply this law.

EXTRACTS

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

"I have touched the hem of his garment and am made whole." This is an affirmation of faith. When the woman, diseased for twelve years, came with the throng to Jesus, she said within herself, "If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole." Thus she expressed in thought her faith, then gave that faith full expression by reaching forth her hand and touching the hem of his garment. Immediately she was made whole. Jesus was conscious of her touch of faith and, turning about, said, "Who touched my clothes?" The disciples said to him, "Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?" But Jesus knew the difference between the jostle of the curious crowd and the touch of faith, and he looked upon the woman and said to her, "Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

On another occasion, Jesus said, "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you." In both of these instances faith is shown to be a power so great that even a very small grain will accomplish great things. To "touch the hem of his garment" symbolizes a very slight conscious connection with the great healing power of Jesus. But the merest mind touch makes whole. Even those who feel themselves weakest in faith may say with assurance, "I have touched the hem of his garment and am made whole." The union having been made between the individual mind and the Universal, by faith, the healing wholeness of the Christ-Mind has entrance to the consciousness of the individual, and health results.

We cannot explain to you how the seed of man is transmuted into the pure spiritual substance that renews
