New Ways to Solve Old Problems Book

New Ways to Solve Old Problems by LOWELL FILLMORE UNITY SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY KANSAS CITY 6, MO. 1947 This is a standard Unity book, which first appeared in 1938. FOREWORD In presenting this book I wish to express my deep appreciation to the many who have helped make it possible first to the Spirit of truth for guidance, and next to my father and mother Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, who since I was a little child inspired me by their consecrated lives and spiritual ideals. They steadfastly made practical application of spiritual principles. I am thankful to many teachers and livers of Truth who have for years been sharing their rich ideas with me, and I owe much gratitude to my associates in the Unity movement for their suggestions, good will, and loving co-operation. To my readers and subscribers everywhere I am indebted for their good will, words of appre ciation, and helpful letters concerning these writings. These good friends, readers of Weekly Unity j have encouraged my efforts as the essays have appeared. Their favorable comments on the ones reprinted here have helped the pub lishers to make selections for this book from more than the thousand articles that appeared during the past several years in the column, Things to Be Remembered. Each essay or Remember, as it is called, is usually based upon some personal experience or some experience of others that has come under my observation. All are written for the purpose of showing how human problems can be solved in a practical way by co-operation with the higher powers of Spirit, With each chapter or lesson a set of seven meditations to cover a weeks period of application has been provided. These meditations are to help the reader make practical use in his life and affairs of the ideas in the lesson. I am trusting that this book will aid you, dear reader, to effect a doser unity with the Christ power that dwells within you, and that through that power you will find the true joy of living in health, happiness, and prosperity.
