The Unity Society of Kansas City

This Society is an independent movement which was established in 1889, with headquarters in Kansas City.

It has a local attendance at its various meetings of about 500. It is called the Unity Society of Practical Christianity.

An auxiliary Society, called the Society of Silent Unity, has a membership in all parts of the world of about 15,000.

The local Society owns property at 913-915 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., where its meetings are held in a stone and brick structure of adequate proportions known as the Unity Building. The doctrine promulgated is summed up in the name of the Society - Practical Christianity.

We follow the injunctions of Jesus as written in the last chapter of Mark:

"Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

"And these signs shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."

The Lord confirms that we are preaching and practicing the true gospel by the signs that follow our work. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

We publish many pamphlets and books and regular monthly magazines as follows:

UNITY, $1.00 per year, 10 cents per copy. Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, editors.

WEE WISDOм for children, 50 cents per year, 5 cents per. copy, Myrtle Fillmore, editor.

The publishing part of our work is done under the name of the Unity Tract Society, Charles Edgar Prather, Manager, Unity Building, 913-915 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., to whom all subscriptions and book orders should be sent.

Inquirers are cordially invited to attend our various meetings, both Sunday and week days, mention of which will be found in detail in our weekly program. For full information call or write to

Ideas are formed in the mind-words are the vehicles through which ideas make themselves manifest; therefore words have a certain power on their plane of consciousness. That is, the word may be used in an independent way to dissolve an idea that has become concrete in the consciousness. The word itself is representative only; but when used by a master in mental dynamics it takes on a character and power proportionate to his understanding of the inner forces of Being. John Smith, for instance, might give voice to a saying that would pass current among his immediate acquaintances as a truth, but as he has not sounded the depths of the mental realm and become cognizant of the idea upon which that truth rests, his saying would carry with it a mere huskit would not be vitalized with self-increasing perpetuity, like the word of one who had aroused that inner life in his consciousness and attached it to his words.

This is why the sayings of the prophets and mystics have such staying, enduring qualities. They are attached by invisible currents of life to the one great Father, and they have within themselves the selfperpetuating germ that keeps them growing from year to year. The scriptures of the different races are examples of the outward expression of the inner germ. The Book of Job antedates all history. It has been preserved through all the changes that have come and gone in the rise and fall of nations. It is supposed to have been written by one of the mystics of the nomad tribes of Arabia, and from that source

drifted into the Hebrew Scriptures. It may have come to the Arabs from the more ancient peoples of Egypt, but it never lost itself with the loss of its custodians. They were wiped out, their lands taken from them, and they no longer known among the nations of the earth, but the mystic word of Job was not consumed.

This is true of nearly all the sacred writings of all people. Secular histories and records of the exploits of men and the affairs of nations have disappeared and been forgotten, because they told the tale of the passing world of flesh; but the records of those who had to do with the realm higher than this are preserved, and they are living again today as they have lived ever since they were given forth-through the power derived from the Spirit. The true prophet of God does not have to even write his words down; he may speak them to the ethers, and through their own inherent power of perpetuity and growth they will find their way into the minds of men. did not write a line that we know of,

Jesus Christ except in the

sand, yet his words are treasured up today as the most precious that we have, and rivers of blood have been shed in quarrels over the technical meaning of these words which were written down by men years after they were voiced by Jesus.

We thus know by these examples that the word of Truth has life in itself, and that it cannot perish or grow less with the changes that come with the fleeting years. We also know that the more spiritual the one who gives forth these words, the more enduring they are, and the more powerfully do they

move men.

The words of Jesus Christ were given to a very common people - according to the world's standard - by a carpenter in a remote corner of the earth. Yet these words have moved men for nineteen hundred years to dare and do, as no other words that were ever uttered.

When Jesus said, "My words are Spirit and they
