About The Book

Charles Sherlock Fillmore (August 22 1854 - July 5 1948) founded Unity a church within the New Thought movement with his wife Myrtle Page Fillmore in 1889. He became known as an American mystic for his contributions to spiritualist interpretations of biblical Scripture.He was born in St. Cloud Minnesota on August 22 1854.An ice skating accident when he was ten broke Fillmores hip and left him with lifelong disabilities. In his early years despite little formal education he studied Shakespeare Tennyson Emerson and Lowell as well as works on spiritualism Eastern religions and metaphysics.He met his future wife Mary Caroline Myrtle Page in Denison Texas in the mid-1870s. After losing his job there he moved to Gunnison Colorado where he worked at mining and real estate.He married Myrtle in Clinton Missouri on March 29 1881 and the newlyweds moved to Pueblo Colorado where Charles established a real estate business with the brother-in-law of Nona Lovell Brooks who was later to found the Church of Divine Science.After the births of their first two sons Lowell Page Fillmore and Waldo Rickert Fillmore the family moved to Kansas City Missouri. Two years later in 1886 Charles and Myrtle attended New Thought classes held by Dr. E. B. Weeks. Myrtle subsequently recovered from chronic tuberculosis and attributed her recovery to her use of prayer and other methods learned in Weekss classes. Subsequently Charles began to heal from his childhood accident a development which he too attributed to following this philosophy. Charles Fillmore became a devoted student of philosophy and religion.In 1889 Charles and Myrtle began publication of a new periodical Modern Thought notable among other things as the first publication to accept for publication the writings of the then 27-year-old New Thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson. In 1890 they announced a prayer group that would later be called Silent Unity. In 1891 Fillmores Unity magazine was first published. Dr. H. Emilie Cady published Lessons in Truth in the new magazine. This material later was compiled and published in a book by the same name which served as a seminal work of the Unity Church. Although Charles had no intention of making Unity into a denomination his students wanted a more organized group. He and his wife were among the first ordained Unity ministers in 1906. Charles and Myrtle Fillmore operated the Unity organizations from a campus near downtown Kansas City.Myrtle Fillmore died in 1931. Charles remarried in 1933 to Cora G. Dedrick who was a collaborator on his later writings. Charles Fillmore died in 1948. Unity continued growing into a worldwide movement; Unity World Headquarters at Unity Village and Unity Worldwide Ministries are the organizations of the movement. (wikipedia.org)
