Our Local Healing Department.The parlors of the Unity Building,

where local patients are treated, are al­ways busy, and good work is being done in a very quiet way by the faithful prac­titioners. We could fill this little paper every week with cases of healing; many of them would be considered miraculous in any age except this very practical one. For example: a phone call for help at once was responded to and a lady raised who was supposed to be breath­ing her very last, according to two doc­tors who had been waiting upon her for three weeks. She was up and dressed the next day after the healer called, and the second day came to the office.

Here is an acknowledgment of healing that was sent in voluntarily:

I brought my little daughter here th ree weeks ago for treatm ent, and a fte r two w eek’s trea t­ment she is entirely well. B efore I brought her here I took h e r to the doctor and he trea ted her about a month, bu t finally said I would have to take he r to the hospital w here pe rh ap s an opera­tion would be necessary. B ut a friend request­ed me to bring he r here, w hich I did, and I will always bless this U nity and God works.

God bless U nity and its workers,S a r a h W h e r r i t t .

Annual Picnic.The annual Fourth of July picnic of

the Unity Society will be held Monday afternoon, July 5th, in Budd Park. All members and attendants are invited to come and bring friends. Bring also well filled baskets, and be prepared to spend a pleasant afternoon and evening on the velvety green grass under the beautiful trees at Budd Park.

The following list is a suggestion of the many things that will make a good filling for the baskets: peanut sand­wiches, mayonnaise sandwiches, lettuce sandwiches, plain bread and butter, hard boiled eggs, salads, pickles, olives, all kinds of fruits, cakes, jelly, etc.

A big table will be spread upon the grass about 6 o’clock. There will be games for great and small and plenty of lemonade for all.

More about it next week.

Cured By A MistakeN ew Yo r k , June 7 ,— A t a recen t m eeting of the

County M edico Society in Philadelphia, says the M edical T im es in its publication today, Doctor De Sajous re la ted hpw a man brought his daugh­te r to him for treatm ent. She had lost her voice.

" I tried the battery on h e r ,” said the physi­cian, “ and he r voice re tu rn ed perfec tly in a short time. T h e fa th e r was in such glee that he hugged me. W hen they had gone I happened to look at the b a tte ry and observed that the curren t had not been tu rned on .”

Mrs. Jenn ie H. C roft will address the Sunday evening service on July 4th.

People are helped to health and happiness by being taughtthe law of health and happiness.

■ ■ ■- • --------------------

Every day at noon the Unity workers assemble in the auditorium with visitors and friends to enjoy the “ noon silence.” The exercises begin with, a song, after which the Prosperity Thought is repeat­ed audibly several times in concert. The remainder of the time is devoted to rest­ful, quiet meditation upon the thought.

Occasionally those present give forth the helpful thoughts that come to them in the silence. All agree that the little silent meeting smooths out the troubles of the morning and leaves the partici­pants in a refreshed state of mind, ready for the afternoon’s labors. All are in­vited to drop in from 12 to 12:15, every day but Sunday.

Kept Young By Playing YoungN ew Yo r k , M ay 21.—T hat aged persons could

prolong their lives if they associated constantly with young folks was the firm belief of Mrs. Yetta Schulm an, who died in this city yesterday, 105 years old. She is survived by th irteen children and twenty-five grandchild ren , and it was her habit to spend the g reater p a rt of the time play­ing out of doors with the little ones, when the w eather perm itted. Mrs. Schulm an's death was due to na tura l causes, and despite he r great age, she never w ore glasses.
