INCIDENTAL EXPENSESThe incidental expenses of the Unity

Society, consisting of janitor’s wages, lights, water, heat, repairs, offerings to organist, etc., averaged $17.66 per week for the year 1908. The average envelope collections for defraying these expenses amounted to $4.68 a week for the same period of time. Thus, it will be seen that some of the Building Fund money must occasionally be used to help defray incidental expenses. This should not be. Every cent in the Building Fund should be used in paying the obligation against the Unity Building.

It may be that many do not use the envelopes because they feel that the small amount they can afford to give would not be worth while. There are seldom fewer than 150 persons at the Sunday morning services and not less than 50 at the evening meeting. Now, if each person present would put ten cents in the envelope each Sunday the total would be $20.00. No one need be ashamed to put his mite in, even though it be but a nickle or a penny. It all helps swell the grand total and prospers the good work.

It is the privilege of every attendant at Unity to co-operate in defraying the little expenses which are contracted in making the Building a pleasant and comfortable place in which to meet.

There is really no reason why anyone should be ugly, for there resides in everyone a spark at least of loveliness, of goodness and beauty which only needs to be fanned into a flame to make the features aglow with a personality that is fine to behold.—The Phrenological Journal.

Sunday evening, June 13th, a gentlem an from U niversity of M issouri will address the Unity peo­ple on the subject of Psychology as applied to the body in the light of P rac tica l C hristianity . H e has studied psychology as taught by the m ateria l­ists of the U niversity and has carefu lly thought out the relation betw een th e ir views and the Unity teachings. It will be very instructive and en te r­taining. Come and bring your friends. T he gen­tlem an’s name is Royal Fillm ore.

Vegetarian meals are served three times a day in the Unity Inn. .Break­fast at 8, Dinner at 12:15 and Supper at 6. Sunday Dinner is ready directly after the morning service. No animal fats are used in cooking.

ARE YOU INTERESTED?m H E relation of mind and body is no J - longer speculative; a science has in

the past few years been developed, which proves by its results in healing that there is an intimate relation between them. This science is taught and prac­ticed under many names, philosophical and religious, but all have as foundation the existence of a Universal Mind, which is the cause and sustaining power of all things.

A metaphysical school has been in ex­istence in Kansas City for over twenty years where this philosophy is taught and demonstrated in healing the sick.

THE SHOWEROne m ight have observed the signs of the ap ­

proaching storm several days before it burst with tum ult upon the unsuspecting victims. T h ere w ere w hisperings and winkings, with now and then a sound as of the rum bling of fa r off thunder. T h e rum blings grew louder as the day and hour approached, and the storm mass grew th icker and m ore th reatening, until a t 7:30 on the eventful Saturday a crow d of young folks gathered at U nity H eadq u arte rs with kettles, dishpans, lemon squeezers, wash boilers and m any o ther useful k itchen utensils. At 8 o ’clock the excitem ent was a t white heat,and a clothes line ,decorated a rtistic ­ally with the b right tin-w are, and sustained on e ither side by a row of young fun makers, started from the fron t door of Unity.

T h e th u n d er of pans rum bled and ra ttled , till neighbors stre tched th e ir necks to see what it m eant. It was about this tim e that the papa of a

certa in young lady was struck by the full meaning of the storm, but he was not able to avoid the show er nor to w arn the unsuspecting family.

T he c lo thesline procession squirm ed down the street like a huge serpent ra ttling its tinny scales ominously. M any native citizens saw it pass and greatly m arveled. At last it rested at the corner of E ighth and W oodland, w hile two of its fo rerun­ners decoyed the unsuspecting family into the house. In a few m oments the head of the serpent was on the porch, and im m ediately the song “ T h e re ’s P lenty for You and F or M e," burst from its fifty tongues. It wound into the house com pletely en trapping the young lady and her mamma. Soon a young gentlem an appeared and was p laced beside the young lady amid a thunder of applause.

T he serpen t was broken up and its scales de­posited upon the tab le before the young couple. T h e young lady then read some very comical, sentim ental and useful poems, sonnets, admoni­tions, and the like, w hich happened to be written on slips of p ap er attached to the flour-sifter, tin dippers, and o ther shining serpen t scales.

A fter an evening of m errim ent, ice cream and cake, the clouds rolled away, the rum blings ceased and the m ild moon sm iled upon the broken ser­pent.

T h e following is the sequel:M a r r i e d : At the home of the b r id e ’s parents,

1841 E ast 8th S treet, Kansas City, Tuesday, June 8th, C harles A. W . H aseltine to B lanche Evelyn Sage; C harles F illm ore officiating.

So she is now baking short cake for him in the new pans. May the two " live happily ever a fte r­w a rd s" and be prosperous in all good things. T hese young folks have grown up in the atmos­ph ere of Unity, and they a re very dear to all the U nity people. L e t us all send our blessings upon them . M r. and Mrs. C harles H aseltine: Joy, health , p rosperity be yours forever.

If you want to be happy, B egin w here you are:

D on t w ait for some rap ture T h a t’s fu ture and far.

Begin to be joyous,Begin to be glad,

And soon you'll forget T h at you ever w ere sad.

WEEKLY UNITYAn old darkey wanted to join a fash­

ionable city church, and the minister, knowing it was hardly the thing to do and not wanting to hurt his feelings, told him to go home and pray over it. In a few days the darkey came back. “Well, what do you think of it by this time?” asked the preacher. “ Well, sah,” replied the colored man, “ Ah prayed an’ prayed an’ de good Lawd, he says to me, ‘Rastus, Ah wouldn’t bodder mah haid about dat no mo. Ah’ve been trying to git into dat chu’ch mahse’f for de las’ twenty yeahs and Ah ain’t done had no luck.” ’
