The Unity Guild The called meeting of the Unity Guild last Tuesday evening was full of spirit and enthusiasm which did not wane even though the session lasted for more than two hours. The Unity Guild is a band of young people working together for the good of the cause of Truth. The Society has, in the two years and nine months of its existence, raised more than Four Hun­ dred Dollars for Unity Building Fund. It has helped at the Christmas and other entertainments and given many enjoy­ able evenings to the members of Unity. Now, as only members of the Unity Guild attend the business meetings, we will here give an outline of the work done at the recent meeting, so that all may know how the business is conducted. After the president had taken her chair two good rousing songs were sung; this was followed by a thought held in the Silence. The secretary then read the minutes of the previous meeting, after which the treasurer reported on receipts and disbursements, her report showing a balance in the treasury of $34.60. The Building Seed was next collected, which swelled the balance to $38.70. (The Building Seeds are blessed dimes which are given to the members at each meet­ ing, to be returned with increase at the next month’s meeting.) The treasurer then announced that only $1.30 was

needed to make the amount $40, and a shower of small change fell at her feet, which when counted proved to be several dollars more than enough to make $40. Upon vote $40 was turned over to the Building Fund, and amid hearty ap­ plause it was announced that this would bring the sum total of donations to the Building Fund for the year up to $100 even. A motion was next passed providing for two “ Sunshine Barrels” to receive toys, dolls and books for distribution at Xmas. Last year’s barrel was such a success and seemed to bring so much happiness to the little folks at the Child­ ren’s home that it was thought best to have two this year, and start them early. A motion was then made subscribing $500 to the New Building Fund to be raised by March 1st, 1910. The motion received a hearty welcome and was passed unanimously. It was decided to start to work raising the money im­ mediately, so the following thought was held in the Silence as the first step in the undertaking: “All that the Father hath is mine; therefore I have plenty for itllmy needs.” After a beautiful Silence one of the members said, “ I have never felt the assurance that God was my abundant supply as I have this evening. ’’ Another member said, “ I have given more the last six months than ever be­ fore and have never had so much to give and spend.”
