THE NEW UNITY BUILDING FUND IS PROSPERED

Nearly every day brings an offering and a word of encouragement for the New Unity Building Fund. At present (April 27th) the cash on hand amounts to $2100.- 92. The first donation was received on September 24th, 1909-

Many interesting letters filled with good words and blessings for the new work have been coming in.

We print the following as an example: D ear F r ie n d s—I am enclosing you a

small offering, this is sent from my six year old son. Rural Welton, who is a sub­scriber of the W ee W isdom magazine and likes it very much.

Last evening he heard his papa reading out of U n i t y that you are building a new building which would afford greater facil­ities for doing good to men, and for sup­plying the blessed, the needed word to seekers everywhere, and-he is sending you this offering and thinks it will buy at least one brick which he donates to the good cause.

We bless this small bill to the use of the visible Kingdom, and send it to you, be­lieving that its influence for good will never cease.—J. W. W.

A RELIC OF BARBARISMFather—“What is that red-and-white

striped pole over in the corner of your room?”

Senior—“Oh, that’s a relic of barber- ism.”— Yale Record.

The meeting Sunday evening, May 1st, will be a song service with a number of in­teresting five minute talks. Come, help with the singing.

Unity received a short pleasant visit from Mrs. J. M. Ramsier of Henderson­ville, N. C. and her niece of St. Louis. Mrs. Ramsier is an enthusiastic worker in the “Sunshine” cause and she radiates sunshine wherever she goes.

The new building which is to contain the printing office is growing rapidly. The concrete floor is run and the brick walls of the second floor are rising quick­ly. It is hoped that the building will be complete for a house warming party dur­ing the first week in June.

ABOUT THE INCIDENTAL EX= PENSES

Every Society has a few little inciden­tal expenses to meet even though it owns the building in which the services are held.

The Unity Society of Practical Christi­anity is in like necessity. Light, heat, janitor service, music and repair bills must be met.

The janitor alone must have $5.00 per week. The envelope collections are not quite up to the mark. For the past three weeks they have averaged but about $5.00 a Sunday. Let us take this matter up in­dividually with ourselves and remedy the shortage.

BOUND VOLUMES OF WEEKLY UNITY

The next number of the W e e k l y will complete the first volume. A few copies will be bound. If there are any who would like copies please leave the orders with the librarian so that we can provide enough.

NEW MEMBERSEight new members were admitted to

the Unity Society of Practical Christianity at the regular meeting of the Board last Monday evening. They will be welcomed at the after meeting Sunday morning May 1st. Following are the names:

Mrs. Anna Stevenson, Miss Stella May Smith, Mrs. Clarence Herberltee, Arthur T. Brass, Miss Frances McSwine, Wm. E. Shaw. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fluke.

A TEST OF SOCIABILITY“Miss Eliza Bremis is just as nice as

she can be,” declared her neighbor, Mrs. Elderly, “but there’s one thing about her that I don’t like. She isn’t sociable.”

Her friend expressed surprise at this accusation, and began to defend Miss Eliza.

“I know, I know,” said Mrs. Elderly, breaking in; “that’s all very well, but tell me this; did you ever see her going around to the funerals? No, of course not, and so I don’t see how you can call her sociable—real sociable, that is.”— Youth’s Companion.

AN OMISSION“How’re you feeling old man?”“No better. I’m in a bad way.” “Taking anything for it?”‘‘About everything.”“Doctor give you any hope?”“Nope. That’s about the only thing he

hasn’t given me.”-— Toledo Blade.

WISDOM FROM THE APOCRYPHA

As for the truth, it endureth, and is always strong; it liveth and conquereth for evermore.— 1 Esdras.

Let go from thee mortal thoughts, cast away the burdens of man, put off now the weak nature.

Set aside the thoughts that are most heavy unto thee.

Leave off from your sins and forget your iniquities, meddle no more with them forever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.—12 Esdras.

Be ye not afraid, neither doubt; for God is your guide.—11 Esdras.

Do that which is good and no evil shall touch you.— Tobit 12.

Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.

For God made not death; neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the liv­ing.

For he creates all things that they might have their being: and the generations of the world are healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the king­dom of death upon the earth.

For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.

And thine incorruptible spirit is in all things.

For to know thee is perfect righteous­ness: yea, to know thy power is the root of immortality.

For it was neither herb nor mollifying plaster that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.— Wisdom of Solomon.

EASY FOR HIMTommy’s Mother.—“Why aren’t you a

good boy, like Willie Bjones?”“Tommy.—“Huh! It’s easy enough

for him to be good; lie’s sick most of the time.”— Philadelphia Record.

NOT LOUD BUT DEEPVillage Constable (to villager who has

been knocked down by passing motor­cyclist)—“You didn’t see the number, but could you swear to the man?”

Villager—“I did; but I don’t think ’e ’eard me.”—Punch.

MAKING PROGRESSWeigler—“How is your son, the young

surgeon, getting on?”Gausler—“First rate. He’s improving

every day. He recently operated on his tenth patient and the man lived for nearly twenty hours.”— Chicago News.

YOU ARE MADE BY YOUR THOUGHTS

How many persons realize that they are made by their thoughts? Have you ever considered the question seriously? If not, begin at once, and change your ex­pression by thinking different thoughts, thoughts that will make you beautiful in­stead of selfish, interesting instead of mo­rose, optimistic instead of pessimistic. Is it possible, then, to change our characters by our thoughts? Yes, indeed, we can guide and control our thoughts, if we try to do so.— The Phrenological Journal.

WEEKLY UNITYAFFIRMATIONS—GROWTH

I am conscious that I am.For this consciousness I am thankful.I am conscious I am unfolding in this

consciousness of Being.For this I am thankful.I am conscious that one of the attri­

butes of Being is Power.I am thankful that I grow each day

into a larger consciousness of myself as Power.

I am conscious that one of the primal manifestations of Power in me is Life.

For this conscousness of Life I am thankful.

Each day my consciousness of Life un­folds. I am more and I can do more as Life.

I am conscious that as Life, I am death­less, and should live a painless existence.

for this consciousness of immortality, and the everlasting growth of Conscious­ness, I am thankful.

I am conscious that one of the many manifestations of life is Thought. I think.

I can think only of my perceptions of whatever is, and all that is, is Truth.

I am thankful that I am Truth, and that Truth is Infinite. That I am enlarg­ing my perceptions each day.

This growth in Truth is Wisdom.I am conscious that beyond Thought

lies the feeling that awakens thought.This feeling is Love. I am Love.I am thankful for Love.For all other manifestations of Power

as Life and Truth I am thankful.But I am thankful most of all that I

Love and can feel thus at-one with my fellows.

My growth is but a larger recognition of my Unity in Love with all that is.

God is Love. And God-in-me is Love.This Love-God I worship with all my

Conscious Being.In Love I am unfolding the God-ness

within me into Truth and Joy.This God-power in me is the Kingdom
