About AnointingM r. F illm ore’s S unday m orning lesson,

O ctober SO, 1910, was on the anoin ting of Je su s by M ary in the house of Simon the leper.

T he speaker called atten tion to the fact th a t every Bible le$son has a cen tra l idea, and explained th a t the cen tra l idea in this lesson is the oil used in the anointing. Oil symbolizes love, and as oil reduces fric ­tion and quiets troubled w aters in the ex­te rn a l w orld, so love harm onizes all d is­cords and quiets all the tu rbu len t waves of m ortal thought.

M ary represen ts the soul, and if she pours her holy, ano in ting oil of love th roughout the body, it w ill be freed from a ll the tense, hard conditions which unlov­ing thought has produced. T hose who th ink they are tired of life and w an t to go aw ay to heaven are in error. T he body needs only to be righ tly understood and righ tly trea ted to show fo rth the beauty and glory of perfec t life and hea lth here and now. I t is not an old garm ent to be la id aside, but a living rea lity in the tr in ­ity of man. I f it is not expressing its p er­fection it is the fau lt of the th inker who has bu ilt it, and his w ork is not to lay it aside, bu t to transfo rm it.

W hen the disciples com plained of the w aste of oil, Jesus said to them , “W hy trouble ye the woman? fo r she hath w rought a good w ork upon me. F o r in th a t she hath poured th is ointm ent on my body, she did it for my b u ria l.” This ou tpouring of love upon his body was necessary before he could allow him self to be b u ried ; fo r the resurrection cannot take p lace w ithout D ivine Love. Love m ust do its perfec t work in the body first, and make w ay fo r the inflow of the res­urrection life.

T he ta lk covered m any other points of in te rest and helpfulness, and the quick­ening pow er of the W ord of T ru th was present.

Learn to ForgetE v ery n igh t as the sun goes down le t a ll

th e d isagreeable happenings of the day slip out of your m ind and sink into obliv­ion. B lot them out, ann ih ila te them , and perm it no resurrection . Go to sleep w ith th e thought of p leasan t th ings in your mind, and begin the next day as though it was the first day of a ll your life , the la s t day , the only day.

I f any th ing disagreeable in trudes, a t n ig h tfa ll blot it out. T hen if another day is given you, make it b e tte r th an the one before, rem em bering only the th ings th a t a re lovely and lovable.

O ur fa the rs ate the m anna in the w il­derness ; as it is w ritten . H e gave them bread out of heaven to eat.

Jesu s therefo re said unto them , V erily, verily , I say unto you, I t was not Moses th a t gave you the b read out of h eav en ; bu t my F a th e r giveth you the tru e bread out of heaven.

F o r the bread of God is th a t which com- e th down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the w orld.

T hey said the re fo re unto him, L ord , everm ore give us th is bread.

Je su s said unto them , I am th e bread of life ; he th a t cometli to me shall not hun­ger, and he th a t believeth on me shall never th irs t.

I am the b read of life .Y our fa th e rs d id ea t the m anna in the

w ilderness, and they died.T his is the b read which cometh down

out of heaven, th a t a m an m ay ea t thereof, and not die.

I am the living b read which came down out of h eav en : if any m an ea t o f th is b read , he shall live fo rever: yea and the b read which I wTill give is m y flesh, fo r the life of the w orld.

T he Jew s th e re fo re strove one w ith an ­other, saying, How can th is m an give us his flesh to eat?

Jesu s th e re fo re said unto them , V erily , verily , I say unto you. E x cep t ye ea t the flesh of the Son of m an and d rink his blood, ye have no t life in yourselves.

H e th a t ea te th my flesh and d rinketh my blood hath e te rn a l l i f e ; and I will raise him up a t the la s t day.

F o r my flesh is m eat indeed, and my blood is d rink indeed.

H e th a t ea te th m y flesh and d rinketh m y blood abideth in me, and I in him.

As the liv ing F a th e r sent me, and I live because of file F a th e r ; so he th a t eateth me, he also shall live because of me.

This is the t r e a d which came down out of heaven: not as the fa the rs did eat, and d ie d : he th a t ea te th th is b read shall live forever.

F o r I received of the L ord th a t which also I delivered unto yo i, how th a t the L ord Jesu s in the n igh t in which he was betrayed took bread ;

And when he had given thanks, he b rake it, and said. T his is my body, which is for you: th is do in rem em brance of me.

In like m anner also the cup, a fte r sup­per, saying, T his cup is the new covenant in my blood: th is do, as o ft as ye drink it, in rem em brance of me.

F o r as o ften as ye eat th is bread, and d rink th is cup, ye proclaim the L o rd ’s death till he come.

W herefore whosoever shall eat the b read or d rink the cup of the L ord in an unw orthy m anner, shall be guilty of the body and th e blood of the Lord.

B u t le t a m an prove him self, and so let him eat o f the bread , and d rink of the cup.

F o r he th a t ea teth and drinketh , eateth and d rinketh judgm en t unto him self, if he d iscern not the body.

WEEKLY UNITY“Let Go the Cross”

I heard a strange voice in thfc distance calling,

As from a s ta r an echo m ight be falling .I t spoke four syllables, concise and b rief,C harged w ith a G od-sent m essage of re ­

lief :L e t go the C ro ss ! O h, you who cling to

sorrow,H ark to the new com m and, and com fort

borrow.Even as the M aster le ft his cross belowAnd rose to P arad ise , le t go, le t go!F orget your w rongs, your troubles, and

your losses;F o r w ith the tools of thought we build our

crosses.F o rge t your g riefs, a ll grudges and all

fear,And enter P arad ise— its gates a re near.Fleaven is a realm by loving souls created ,And hell was fashioned by the hearts th a t

hated.Love, hope, and tru s t ; believe a ll jo y s are

yours.L ife pays the soul whose confidence en­
