still and know that I am Gnd UNITY It is found that when many people hold the same thought there is unity, though they may be separated by thousands of miles, and that all who are connected with that unity are in touch with higher spiritual states, even Jesus Christ. So there has gradually grown up this Society of Silent Unity, in which thousands in all parts of the world join every night at 9:00 o'clock, in thinking for a few moments one thought, which is given each month in the magazine UNITY. This we call the Class Thought," and every member is expected to hold it at least five minutes at the beginning of the silence, in order to make the unity connection; after which, "Ask what ye will in my name, and it shall be done unto you." Certificates of membership are issued without charge to those who make personal written application for them. To meet expenses, we ask members to send us free-will offerings, as no charge is made for any service we render. This society has been in existence about fifteen years, and has over 16,000 registered members. Through its ministry thousands have been healed mentally and physically, and its power grows stronger day by day. The silent hour is 9:00 P. M., your local time. The Spirit will adjust geographical differences. Beginners usually have a great many questions to ask, and they require a course of lessons and reading. To such we recommend the "Lessons in Truth," by H. Emilie Cady. Cloth, $1,00; paper, 50c. UNITY is published monthly, and contains a large amount of instruction. The price of it is $1.00 per year. Where members take UNITY and the Cady Lessons" together, we make a rate of $1.35 for both. Absent healing is just as effective as present healing. We treat people in all parts of the world, also in the next block, without seeing them. People here in the city call us by 'phone and get relief quickly. We can be reached night and day by letter telegraph or telephone. Give name of patient and trouble, in telegram, and write details later. The Unity Tract Society is the business department, and the Society of Silent Unity is the healing department. Please keep this in mind, and do not send messages to the two departments in one letter. By complying with this request you will avoid delay in receiving answers to your letters, and will also lighten our work. The simple written request to be enrolled a member of the Silent Unity Society is all that is required to join with us.

The Red Leaf is an aid to mental concentration. Where the mind centers its attention, there the strongest life-flow will be. it. An increase of life to an affected part will heal The difficulty is to get the mind to give its concentrated attention to the right place. It needs help to do this, and the Red Leaf supplies it. Where a universal healing force is desired, hold the Leaf in the clasped hands and, with closed eyes, silently repeat a few times the printed statement. Then rest, relax and realize that the great Universal Life is flowing freely, equalizing and harmonizing mind and body. For local healing, lay the Leaf on the part affected and silently repeat the statement. Where patients are not able to hold the statement for themselves, others may do it for them. Repeated treatments are sometimes necessary to get results. "Repetition is the mother of Wisdom." The understanding will be opened by repeating statements of Truth. To the question often asked, "Has the Red Leaf any hidden virtue?" we would answer, "Did the garment worn by Jesus have an invisible power that healed the woman who touched its hem? Did he impart a hidden virtue to the clay he put on the blind man's eyes? Was an invisible power given by Paul to the aprons and handkerchiefs that healed the sick, as recorded in Acts 19:12? If such things were done by the followers of Jesus at one time, why not at an other? He said "Ye shall do these things, and greater," A Red Leaf will be found in every copy of the monthly magazine, UNITY. These Leaves are from the "tree of life" for the "healing of the nations." That "tree" is Truth, and the "Leaves" are the Words of Truth. The healing comes from the Father, through Jesus Christ, to those "who shall believe on me through their Word." But Truth cannot be confined to books. Truth is a Living Thing; a Spirit; the "Spirit of Truth, who will lead you into all Truth," UNITY reveals the inner meaning of Truth as taught by Jesus Christ, and explains the healing power in practical, plain terms. year.
