"Dear Friends
'
Our beloved Charles Fillmore passed on to another exprosalon of lire on Monday, July 6, 1348. He sEsured us ottly a
short time ago that even it' lic wore to F aus on it would not affect
his bellof or his teaching cencerning eternal life.
1;any years ago Mr Pillmors war confronted Ii:h a phloical
conditien that ins pronounced ineurable, and he vas told that he
,ould not have long to livi. Th• faith and courade with *talch ho
met thla condition enabled him to ricelys lils heilln; mid :*rform
a glorious *•rvlce for the world. Ria positlv• faith in the
eternal life of 01.1 4111 3:anl as a beacon 116ht
before all of us,
evin though he 1• not physically present.
While Mr Plll::tora 1 al: bean teaching

Falthfully,
UNITY SCHOOL."
If they had planned a publie service for Wednesday aftir.
noon, I donit know wherl it could havi beln hild to accommodate
Nr rillmore is friends so they have decided to have a strictly
private sorvioi and then to have the special Remenbranol Service
Sunday afternoon in thi nev Templi and that vill allow tike for
people who vish to come hare frcm out of toin and al:o it will
provide roal for •an, of Mr Pillmoreis local friends.
I vondered yesterday *at to do about flowers, and bafore I
know that the family had requistod 'no flowers" I ordorid soml to
be sent from the Unity workers. I thousht you would vant mi to
do so, so I ordired a large baskit.
Nov I want to say a few things that I think you vould llki
1
to know about 1111 7111*or*--some of thon al-out the early dals.
Oni thing I rimimber, ihin I ea- her• to work in 1914, Mr Filliori
was wearing am iron brace on one feet that vas six or •1Elit inohes
high, and h• gradually shortened that braae ind finally h• dis-
cardid it and vorl a high he•l on hic shoe. I reme•ber 80 well
i
l
r.
-3-
hov it used to look- oh, about Ic high at flrst (indicating).
:0 all aantred his couragi •nd persiverance in Indiavoring to
overoomo that hjndleap, so mach.
In addition to his faith im courag•. How he kept on so
courageously, and even after the doctori had said many year• *50
that he couldnit live, he went. on and lived to Ihat l• considered
an unu/ual ago--ninety-four years--and h/ lived such an active
life.
For yoars after I cami hero, he was always up in the Silent
Unity healing room untll after nin• o lolock at night- always- h/
had the nlne o 'clock healing meeting up in the Silent Unity roon.
and many of our readors observid a nine oiolock healing period .
falthfully. Many of them
did.
Now v. think nor/ about poopl,
joining with us in using Dilly Nord, usually morning and ovening.
But in those dayi, thi nlne oiolock hoallng meeting was str••sed a
Sreat deal. And I think porbaps the reason vo have chansed th,
hour is bleauil nino oiclook doesnot neem to be very convenient for
so many p•ople now.
One thing that Ur Pillmon usod to always say Then he gave a
Truth talk, NWell, try 10.1
or hi hed a great idea.
He never said it wa, a sdindld ld.a,
Me said: 'Try lt."
And I think ha endeavorid
to waki his teaohings as simple as he could.
Be was so eali and patlint, as many of you know. Ihen soni
one didni t seen to grasp the Truth idia, or out/ardly didnit So/n
to apply it, Mr Pillmore was very patient an.1 vary kindly, Very.
&noth/r thing th/t he *tr ,sed was that YOU THIEK. And em-
times now, I find myself gotting a little *mbarrass•d when I rialls.
S
r
\
i
./

I haven't been TUINKING car*fully or deeply as I should, and I
remember hlo teaching/. that we should THINK.
A few years ago we had signs in tho office, "God First.'
1
&
s
1
I know many of you remimber those signs. Mr Fillmorl liked that
1.lea of 'God First" and he espreasod it so much in his life and
in so many ways that there il no doubt that God was always first
i
in his thouiht and distro; that vas uppormost in his mind, wood
Flnt."
Years ago, when Mr Ptllmeri startid teaohing, when h• and
Mrs Pillmore Just bigan, I lik• to imagine what it must have boon
litel.
le, think of Truth studints now na being 9-lite numerous.
But in those days they wore not. The teaching that Mr Fillmore
did v*s thought of by many peopli as te ing something sort of
fanatiosl and strange; something new and untried. Those of ul
in Unity, even han I cam, in, wore generally looked upon as a
11(:10 qu•er.
1
Mr Fillmore val really a wonderful solentlit and Truth teacher.
You know, 7 ou hear it expressid oven yet, that 'soeing is belloling.N
Then you often aeolpt it in your 0,0 mind, and think, "1611, S•elng
li billeving."
li knov that novadays ve are often admanishid not
to be deceived by applaranoes, and let ve arl very muoh inclined to
be influenoid by •ppearanoes, end to si, "Seeing i• billevins.
There is no denying that.
Mr Fillmor, said, "Don,t be d/0/ived by app•ar/noes.' And he
'b
I
stuck to lt.
HI would afflrm in the fae• Of smothing that appeared
ver, much to the contrary--• JIERI IJ :-UT C:tE Pit-33:NCE, AND O.IE POWER,
OOD TRE GOOD OMMIPOrall.
-
6-
I feil that the Truth idea embodied in those words and
held to No falthfully has boen a mainitay in this work and
• mintel of protection around it through the yoars.
Wh/n somi
adverso oonditian confronts you in your own life End affairs,
faithfully affirm, ISTHERE IS 13:Pr ONE PRESENCE AND ONE POWER,
GOD THE GOOD OUSIPOTENT.N
1
Another thing that I v,nt to mention iN that Mr Fillmore
never looked downvard when thing, looked dark, even during a
depression or world var. I remember 80 i•ll. thi depression of
1930 and I remember ol•arly his ah•orful, happy Spirit at thal
tlm/, and how p/r/ist•ntly he h•ld to the Truth, that there is
but ONE PRESENCE AND ONE POWER. GOD THE GOOD OUNIPOTENT.
In
th* faa. of big things or little things, regardless of how dark
thvy applarod, he never looked do,arnrd. }ils was always the
viatorlous spirit. Always, you could •ee it. You could hiar
it in his voloe, in thi verda he spoke.
You could see it in his
attitude. You eould *00 it in thi tvlnkle in his eyi. Always,
he had that innor knoving thit "THERE IS BirT ONE PRESSNCE AND ONE
POWER" and he hold on falthfully to it.
Doubtless that was one of
thi rialon• for hli never falling courage and faith. Those of vi
Illo contacted Mr Pll]more virl trily blissed by the courage and
faith that h• radlat/d =ld demonstrated se con tlnually.
For the benefit of those of lou iho never had the privilege
of knowing him, I would like to tell lou that Charles Allmore
had a very mischievious spirit. Ho appreciated a joko about as
vell as anybody I over saw and ho had a renarkable ability fbr
remembiring thea *ad improving upon thim whon he told them, which
he often did. H• never allo•od the serious side of life to cause

Truth talk or Idlen sitting in on a con forence
where veighty matters Ver, being discussed and the trend of
thought se/mid to be getting too much en the sorious slde, I
bav observed Mr Pillmor• turn the trend of thought entlroly
by telling eoml joke. Other People would har• found it difficull
to tell e jole in a way thal it would seem appropriate or in
ord•r, but not Mr Pill=,ri.
ihin negative facts or regulation•
so/med too obvious and too binding to bo 1snored, Mr Fillmor,
h/d * way of relleving tho tension of an entlro group by ma,ing,
'Vell, let the old Iorld vag as ft will, ve 9111 be gay and
happy still.'
1
I can jule hear him slying that und I know how •ffeotlve
it was in r•laxing thi tin sion of th• picple'around him.
i
80 had a war¥*lous va, of rising above linitation. Of
oouri• this pover lo div*lopid throush th• study and practioe
of Truth.
Mr Pillmorl taught and encouraged others to study and
use the tetahings of Jesus Chrin; to Iake this teaohing practical
i
in their daily lives. This marvelous teaching li h•r• for us in
the many booki and pamphlots th#t /tr Fillmori vroto. Th/a• Truth

Years ago when Ie had a very small :unday School ve
used
to have our annual picnic on thi fourth of July at
Budd Park.
Porhaps some of you folks donit know ther• 1, a Budd Park
but
thiri li--out in th• northiast part or th• 01ty.
woul
wo
d go
out to th• park m,d carry our balk•t lunches. At
ano of these
plenies, oni lady had brought so- han sanditchei. Nov ham

ordor an,vay and 1.maginl sori poople'a consternation when thi,
saw the diar lady plaoe oni of thi ham sinadches on Mr

Instead of acting embarraised or displeased
, h/ promptly
turnid thi inoldint Into a Joko b, taklng the sanditch
and nail-
Ing tt up on a trio. Of course that brok* the t•nsion and
oau'Id iuah mirrt-nt.
1
Mr Fillmor, oftin set us a wonderful example in avoi
ding
booominG •lther serious or critical himself, and in help
ing others
to do tb• same. Suppos• you try his m•thod. The next tim, som -
thing dooin it -asure up to lour ideal or in some way sult you,
tr, turning it off lightly and lf it la likely to ••barrisa
tho
other fillow, try to give tb• situation a humorous turn.
Mr Pilliorii• teaching and Ixamples in refusing to be anxious
and Indiavoring to always be Joyous and free and ouy, have
bo,n
suah a holp to thousands of his students.
Slnoi v, think tt would bi well for you
to riad for yourself
some of Mr Fillmore,i teachinds on Et•rnal Life, v• have provi
dld
ooples of his pamphlet "Attaining Eternal Life' Rhtch will
bo
givin you at th• clos• of thia =•ting.
I would lik• to call your
1
.1
-8attention to the paragraph on page 5 of that pamphlet, as
follows:
"It does not make eny different to the loyal Christian
how many people
Ifall asleep. I
We know that the sloopera awaken
again, that what mon call the Ileep of diath is just a lang
1
1
dream. Some peoplo have more vlvld dreams than others, so somi
who fall aileop in the second death may droam
of
1
riturning life
until they quickly take up again thi construction of an organism.
The early Chrlatlans considered it a great advantage to havi a
knowledge or Jesus before ralling asleep."
I think most of you havi read the Dedication and Covenant
which Mr Pillmor• wrote and whloh both he and Mrs Fillmorl
signid, Die•mler 7, 1892.
Of eours• you will recall that thi
Unity work was actually started before that date; in fact, our
records show it was started in 1089. The Covinant roads as
follovil
"re, Charles Fillmore and Myrtle Fillmore, husband and

the Unity School of Christianity,

Lhrough which he has sought to give
j
to others the health he found for
himbelf.
Or rather. it was a health both he
and his wife, Mrs. Myrtle Fillmore,
found for themselves.
