Publisher's Department 000000000000 OUR TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY Just twenty years ago this month, April 1889, the publication which is now called UNITY was first issued. It was then called Modern Thought, the change to UNITY having been made at the completion of the first volume. In reading over the editorials in those early numbers, we do not see that there has been any marked change in fundamental principles. Day by day we are becoming more firmly established in this doctrine of Jesus Christ, and it is constantly revealing to us greater privileges and powers for the human family. The work is steadily growing in every department and there is evidence on every side that the Spirit of the Lord is with us. What more could we ask? * * Ever since we began the publication of UNITY requests have come for lessons by correspondence, but we have not felt equal to the task. Now we are prepared to give to students in all parts of the world the same course of lessons that are given here. Read the announcement in another column. You can temporarily help a man in destitute circumstances by giving him money or provisions, but true and permanent help comes to him only when he learns to help himself. The problem is made much easier when he knows that his wants are supplied in proportion as he adjusts his thoughts and ideas to the Universal source of supply. You will help your friends who are in need, both materially and spiritually, by putting Unity literature in their hands. UNITY and "Lessons in Truth," by H. Emilie Cady, make a fine combination for a beginner. * * * * * UNITY one year and Lessons in Truth by H.

UNITY SOCIETY "CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL In response to a wide-spread demand we have arranged to give lessons in Christian Healing and the true science of Christianity by correspondence. The first course will be primary and will consist of twelve lessons. Each lesson is to be copied by the student. The object of this is to impress the truth on the mind more firmly than study alone will do. The student will be expected to go over each lesson until he feels competent to answer certain questions on the points involved; such answers to be evidence of his understanding. These questions will be sent from this Center as soon as the student advises us of his readiness to answer them. If the answers are not satisfactory, we will point out the errors and require further study. This system will be continued until all the points in the twelve lessons are understood and can be set forth by the student in his own language. The time required to take the lessons cannot be stated. Some students may get the understanding in a few months, while others will take longer. This teaching is not theology, nor is it founded on any written authority. It is the Science of Mind and when once understood reveals to the student the Truth lying back of all religions. Those who complete the Primary Course can take the Advanced Course, if they wish to enter the ministry. This school is authorized by the state to issue diplomas to its graduates, giving them power to perform the duties of Christian ministers — diplomas are issued to both men and women. This work is sustained by the freewill offerings of its students. We ask each student to sign an agreement to give as he is moved by the Spirit of Justice. These lessons will give every student a training in the demonstration of prosperity, as well as health, and with each lesson he will manifest the teaching in health, harmony and understanding. Hence we shall not ask one to give according to his ability, because that may be limited, but according to the supply which the Law will open to all who are faithful to the teaching.

I have just finished reading the bound numbers from the year 1898. I expect to renew my subscription.-H. A. C., New York. We acknowledged the above with unusual pleasure, it having the distinction of being the longest term subscription we have ever entered. A few have been entered as life subscribers, but none of them have had the courage to make it definitely a hundred years, with promise of renewal at end of term. We rejoice that there is one man who believes in eternal life here and now and is not afraid to back it with his money. ** * * * In the Monday evening healing meeting of the Unity Society of Kansas City, March 29th, a lady testified that she had been raised from the dead by two members of that Society. She said that she was very ill and had left her body, and realized she was in another realm of consciousness, when she was called to again take possession of it, which she did, and was restored to the living. This occurred several years ago, and she said she had experienced unusually good health since that time. ** * * * SOUVENIR POSTAL CARDS Make a donation to the Building fund by purchasing a set of Post Cards.

For years I have been an earnest Christian, but since I have known about UNITY I have come to an understanding I never had before. My ideals seem more attainable, things seem clearer, more reasonable, and I can see more hope of success. Seeing that everything is based on immutable law, and that things must come if we fulfill that law, has been of inestimable value to me. I'm sure now that God is Love, and does not need to be implored nor teased. I am much more cheery and hopeful, even than when I last wrote you. A. I. K. ** * * * Some people think our paper, THE SIGNS THAT FOLLOW, the very best Missionary they have found. Send 10 cents and get a dozen copies. "LITTLE SERMONS" LITTLE SERMONS, by Edna L. Carter, is a booklet especially helpful to those who desire the SERMONS things of Spirit. It leads you right into the inner kingdom, the kingdom of Mind, and first you know you are studying your own thoughts and realizing that the happiness you seek comes, not from external things, but from your own mental states. It is filled with living words that quicken faith, and it inspires love for the simplicity and power of the Christ life. This little book contains 64 pages, and the price is 20 cents each or $2.00 per dozen. There are 15 lessons in the book, and it is very suitable for study in classes. Here is what the April issue of Power of Denver says: "A beautiful little book tastefully gotten up and printed; but even more beautiful are the inspiring contents, consisting of little sermons on many texts. Miss Carter writes clearly and forcefully, and the spiritual quality of consciousness is high. There is more real merit in this little book than in many volumes which sell for a dollar."
