DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE LAW

The Universe is not founded on chance nor is it run in a haphazard way. It is founded in the most exact and perfect law, even the Divine Law, and everything is regulated in absolute Order and Harmony. The things that seem out of harmony appear so only because men have not recognized and conformed to the Law.

"All things are possible to him that believeth." Believes what? Believes in the Law and what it will accomplish when it is brought into expression. There are no miracles. All the works of Jesus were done under the Law. The promise, "The works that I do shall ye do also," is fulfilled to men through their understanding of the Law, their faith in it and conformity to it. Faith, understanding and obedience prepare the mind of man to use the Law.

There is but one Being-God, and man has his being in the One. "In him we live, and move, and have our being." Because this is true, man has a certain innate recognition of the Law of his being. But, being ignorant, having a mind uneducated in the knowledge of God, he does not understand the one perfect Law, and so he sets up innumerable laws of his own, thus making an effort to fulfill the inner prompting to conform his life to law and order. Time is saved and hard experience avoided by going direct to the Divine Law, rejecting every man-made law that is out of harmony with the Law of Being.

The Law is set into operation by the power of the Word. "He shall have whatsoever he saith." Every word is a seed and brings forth after its kind. A word, acknowledging man-made law, sets in motion that law and the consequences follow. "If you sit in a draught you will catch cold" is an example of the ignorant law-making of the mortal, and everyone who believes that a draught will give him cold, and brings his belief into expression as a law

by affirming it, gets just what he says and the cold appears, in response to his spoken word. But those who know the Law of Being are careful of their words and speak into activity only that Law. They speak words of Life and bring life into manifestation.

The members of Silent Unity are followers of Jesus Christ. They study the Divine Law and have faith in the power of the spoken Word of Truth. Their work is to speak the Word for others, and help them to know and understand and use the Divine Law. Acknowledgment that demonstrations of the Law have been made through the Word sent forth from the Silent Unity Center, comes in so many letters that there is never space in our magazine to use all of them, although we make extracts from these letters as brief as possible. These demonstrations cover a wide field, even the whole field of human experience. The Divine Helper meets every need of man-heals the sick, raises the dead, casts out devils, prospers the needy, lifts up those who are cast down, and frees and quickens, and blesses in every way every man who turns to him for help.

A letter from Florence, Colorado, reads as follows: "When my daughter wrote you for treatments for me I was very ill. Two physicians had been called who told us that nothing could be done, and they set the time when I must die. I lingered along for a few days and then asked my daughter to write you, for I knew that with your treatments I would get well. I am so much better that I am up and doing light work. There are not words enough in the English language to express how thankful I am to you."-Mrs. M. B. H.

In this case the doctors had laid down the law that Mrs. H. should die at a certain time. But the man-made law was set aside, and the Divine Law, which is a law of Life, was declared, and the healing, raising-up power of the Word was soon manifest.

C. C. of San Luis Obispo, Cal., writes:

"I am thankful for the improvement during the last month. The constipation is cured. I am so thankful for a complete healing."

There are many demonstrations of this kind. Constipation is the result of a tense state of mind which ties up

the muscles and nerves and hinders the free action of the bowels. When the mind relaxes in faith and trust in God as the everywhere-present Good, then the bowels also relax and the healing is accomplished.

Here is a word from a wife in Tioga, Pa., whose strong, steady faith held her firm in the face of most discouraging appearances:

"I thank you from my heart for the help and comfort you have given us during the past ten days. My husband is alive and gaining every moment. He was thrown from an automobile onto the railroad track in front of a rapidly moving engine. When the news reached me I was in the blackest despair until I remembered you and sent the first telegram, then went calmly to find my husband. We brought him on a cot in a motor car, and all the way I kept trying to be strong and faithful, although it was feared that he might die on the way. Both of his arms were broken, his hip was fractured, and his left ankle very badly crushed. All through that night no one but me expected him to live. The next day I sent you the second telegram and all the time I was holding him in this thought: "God in the midst of you is mighty to save, to heal and to perfectly restore." The night before he had whispered to me, "God is my beautiful health." This is the tenth day. His foot which it was thought he must lose, is perfectly warm and pink with life and health. He has had no fever of any consequence, has no internal trouble, and has had no pain. I am trying to cure the hip while he is in bed; please help me. I can never tell you how I thank you.”—Mrs. M. B. U.

And here is the faith of a mother in Cincinnati, Ohio:

"My son, while visiting his father at a camp, was taken ill with appendicitis. I arrived at the camp just in time to take him home, instead of his being taken to a hospital where arrangements had been made for an operation. You were wired immediately, and shortly afterward his father arrived with a physician who would give us no hope other than the operation. It was such a comfort as I sat with him throught the night to know that friends in Unity were working for us. I noticed an improvement in the child in a day or two, and in less than a week he was said to be out of danger and an operation unnecessary. I wish to express my love and gratitude to God and the ever ready channel through which he works. You may discontinue treatments, and inclosed find token of our love and gratitude."-Mrs. D. B.

Below are given a few other instances of the healing power of the Word:

Chicago, Ill.—A demonstration of the power of the Word came so forcibly to me recently that it is with a grateful heart that I thank you dear Unity friends for showing me the way to prove that "the Truth shall make me free." I was seized with a hard chill and what seemed like one of my old time attacks of bronchitis. While the family were searching for some remedy, quietly and forcefully came to me the insistent repeating of "Infinite Love fills my mind and thrills my body with healing life." Remaining quiet, I continued to repeat this for fully five minutes (not using any of the remedies which had been brought to me). I felt a warm glow pass throughout my body, the pain left my chest and head, and soon all coughing ceased. All this occurred within the space of an hour. I slept well all night with no further symptoms of what had seemed to threaten a general upset of a normal state of health.-M. L. K.

Hockley, Pa.-Please discontinue treatments for my wife, as she is well of the illness she had at the time I asked for treatments. I thank you kindly for the help we received.-L. N.

Seattle, Wash.-I am so grateful to you for the relief from neuritis through your treatments.-B. G.

S. Hamilton, Mass.—I appreciate your work in behalf of my husband and self. Since your treatments began, Mr. R. has steadily improved in sleep and consequently in every way. He had been ill for three years with nervous prostration. He is grateful, as well as I, for it seems so good that he is able to be out of bed where he has been most of the time for the last five months. Please continue treatments until he is entirely well.-Mrs. F. A. R.

Atchison, Kans.-The claim of disease I asked your help for has vanished into its native nothingness, and I am very grateful to you. As soon as I ask you for treatments I feel benefited mentally also. Mrs. G. G.

Eugene, Ore. Some time ago I wrote, asking you to treat my two baby boys for severe colds. They were immediately cured, and I am very grateful to you for your wonderful help. Things have been brighter ever since I have had UNITY and I am learning to trust more and more.re.-Mrs. L. B.

Effingham, Ill.-About one year ago I wrote you for treatments for my mother, who was aged, had a stroke of paralysis, and fell and dislocated her shoulder. The doctors said she could never use her arm again on account of her age. She has almost fully recovered; she can comb her hair and sweep and make beds and sew. -L. J. C.

"Ask and Ye Shall Receive"

It is God's will that men be supplied with abundance.

Prosperity as well as healing comes under the Divine Law. Mrs. E. L. B., of Albany, N. Y., rejoices in her awakening to the knowledge of God as her supply and support.

She says:

"I wrote you lately for prosperity treatments for my husband and son. Mr. B.'s business has picked up in a most remarkable way, at least it would seem so if we did not know and claim that God is our supply. Every one says that no business can be done in July and August, but we know and have proved that God blesses in those months as well as all others. We are having most wonderful demonstrations in health and prosperity, and are learning every day to live Christ. Thank you more than I can express for all you have done for us."

David, in the Psalms, sings of the blessedness of the man who knows and delights himself in "the law of the Lord." "Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" is written of him who knows the law of God and "in his law doth meditate day and night." Mrs. C. C. A., of Redlands, Cal., is fulfilling this requirement and getting the results, for she says:

"Through your treatments we are enjoying prosperity and happiness in our home. Everything begins to look bright since our thoughts are stayed on God."

Following are extracts from the letters of others who are learning and demonstrating the Law in success and prosperity:

Medicine Hat, Alta., Can.-I want to tell you how God's loving hand has led me since writing to you for help. I have now a good position and good salary, and the way is opening up for my husband and myself wonderfully. It would take a book to tell of the trials, bills, debts, etc., of the past year, but God's hand has been in it all, and is now leading by "still waters and in green pastures." I am taking for my motto the words, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." My husband has just passed through a terrible struggle in his business; everything was seemingly going wrong, but the crisis is passed, and all is now working for good. May God bless you for your loving help.-Mrs. A. C. R.

Billings, Mont.-I desired the opportunity to go to a summer school and prepare myself better to teach music, but knew of no way to obtain the money necessary. I commenced asking in the Silence for the means to go, believing that when I asked I did receive, and
