UNITY GUILD’S FIRST SEML ANNUAL OPEN MEETING

On Thursday evening April 14th Unity Building was the scene of a charming re­ception given by the Unity Guild. On this occasion the members of the Guild held their First Open Meeting. About fifty guests were present and spent a most enjoyable evening.

The parlors and the auditorium of the building were beautifully decorated for the event. The decorations consisted chiefly of the colors of the society, yellow and gold, which were used in profusion.

Mrs. Croft, the mother of the Guild, made the welcome address and delighted the assembly with her eloquence. The secretary, Mabel Wrong, read a brief his­tory of the society which was very inter­esting. Last January the Guild cele­brated its third anniversary and the re­ports made showed what excellent wTork these young people are doing. The secre­tary read in part: “Since we organized our membership has grown from 16 to So active members. From the various socials, entertainments and offerings received we have been able to raise the goodly sum of $600.00 for the Building Fund. Our ef­forts have been greatly encouraged by our many friends who assure us of their hearty co-operation which we so earnestly desire and appreciate.”

The following is the excellent program which was rendered at the reception:

Piano Solo, Miss Celia Fox; Vocal Solo, Mr. Lowell Fillmore; Reading, Miss CoraB. Green; Vocal Duet, Miss Lena Bishop, Miss Jennie Bishop; Reading, Mrs.

Blanche Haseltine; Piano Duet, Miss Mabel Bell, Miss Edna Carter; A. B. C’s of the U. S. A., Buttercup Twins, Mr. Lowell Fillmore and Mr. E. V. Ingraham; Piano Duet, Miss Nellie Phelan, Miss Jennie O’Neill.

After this delightful program refresh­ments were served and the balance of the evening was enjoyed in games and in mer­riment. In closing, Mr. Tallman, who is a member of the society and a very enthu­siastic worker, pronounced the benediction. The Open Meeting accomplished splen­did work as many strangers were united in friendship.

NOTICEA friend of the Unity Society of Prac­

tical Christianity has donated a beautiful picture to the Unity Guild. The friend is desirous of making a love-offering to the Building Fund so has generously given this picture to the Guild. The picture has been placed in the parlor and is to be sold. The proceeds from the sale are to be given to the Building Fund. Every one is requested to inspect it.

MR. LARSON FOUND KANSAS CITY AUDIENCE RECEPTIVEUnity Auditorium was well filled at

each of the four lectures given by Chris­tian D. Larson. The fact that his last lecture brought the largest crowd proves that his audience liked him better the more they heard him. About four hundred peo­ple attended the lecture on “Ability, Talent and Genius,” at the conclusion of which a number of the Unity people made short talks in appreciation of his teachings. Mr. Larson was pleased with his work here and with the Unity plan of free-will of­ferings.

He said his hearers in Kansas City were among the most receptive he had ever ad­dressed. Before he left he generously re­membered the Unity Building Fund by donating $62.00 to it.

A Swede entered a postoffice in the Northwest and inquired:

“Bane any letter for me today?” “What name, please?”‘‘Ay tank1 de name is on de letter.”—

RESPONSIVE SERVICE

Sunday, April 24

And in those days couieth John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

We hail the dawning of the day,When the kingdom of Christ is come;

When sin shall all be put away,When the kingdom of Christ is come; When to the earth’s remotest bound The gospel message shall resound,

And peace and sweet good-will abound, When the kingdom of Christ is come.

Chorus-.When the kingdom is come,

When the kingdom is come,O that will be a happy time.

When the kingdom of Christ is come.

For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

The voice of one crying in the wilder­ness,

Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.Jesus taught them saying.Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs

is the kingdom of heaven.

God’s word of truth shall fill the earth, When the kingdom of Christ is come;

All men shall know its priceless worth, When the kingdom of Christ is come;

No more the Macedonian cry,“Come o’er and help us ere we die”

Will mount with piteous wail on high, When the kingdom of Christ is come.

Chorus—When the kingdom is come, etc.

Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first his Kingdom and his righteousness.

And all these things shall be added unto you.

Be not therefore anxious for the mor- mow,

For the morrow will be anxious for it­self.

Sufficient unto the dav is the evil there­of.

The reign of peace will be complete, When the kingdom of Christ is come;

The earth will bow at Jesus’ feet,When the kingdom of Christ is come;

No more will cries of pain resound,No more will sin and want abound,

But brotherhood and love profound.When the kingdom of Christ is come.

Chorus—When the kingdom is come, etc.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,

How much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.

Neither shall they say, Lo, here! or there!

For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

Our F'ather which art in heaven, Hal­lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we have for­given our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.—Amen.

We all shall see with clearer light.When the kingdom of Christ is come;

In that oncoming day so bright,When the kingdom of Christ is come;

The earth restored to happiness,There then shall dawn upon the race.

The universal reign of grace.When the kingdom of Christ is come.

Chorus—When the kingdom is come, etc.

THE GERMAN’S SMILE‘‘Who is the greatest power for good in

your church?” a clergyman was asked the other day, and his answer was: ‘‘My bigGerman usher. I got him out of a saloon.”

The story of how he got him followed, and is interesting enough to retell. The clergyman in his daily walks was accus­tomed to pass a large saloon. This great, fat German, smiling all over, always stood in the saloon doorway. With one hand he patted each entering customer on the back and with the other he shook hands with him warmly. No one could resist that broad, welcoming smile. It drew men in who had no special desire to take a drink, but who could not resist its good fellowship. The pastor noticed it, thought over it, and de­cided on a plan. Next day he crossed the street and went up to the saloon door. “I want to shake hands with you!” he said to the big German.

“Put it there, partner!” cried the Ger­man heartily, grasping his hand in a big, friendly clasp. “Let’s have a drink.”

No, I will not drink,” said the clergy­man, “but I just want to shake hands with you. If you would but consecrate to God this great power you are using against his kingdom, what a mighty man you would be! If you were to stand at the front door of my church and greet the peo­ple that come in, and smile upon them and say, ‘God bless you!’ you could help my work, possibly, more than any other man.”

The German stared. Then he thought. The appeal went to his heart—a big, warm, though up to that time misguided.

Is not his true story a whole sermon on personal influence—the personal influence which each individual carries about with him and uses either for God or Mammon?—Forward.
