Book Title: Prosperity by Charles Fillmore

You are in possession of everything necessary for the demonstration of prosperity and can undertake it with the utmost confidence and faith.

Those who are born and bred to riches usually have plenty all their life even though they never make the effort to earn a dollar for themselves.

Book Title: Teach Us to Pray by Cora and Charles Fillmore

Book Title: Myrtle's Healing Letters by Myrtle Fillmore

True prosperity is not making money, or putting out good or developing property.

(p74)

Book Title: Open Your Mind to Receive by Catherine Ponder

It is reported that in the early days of the Unity movement, a visiting metaphysician spoke to the workers employed by the Unity School of Christianity at their headquarters then located in Kansas City, MO. The guest speaker was introduced by Unity's co-founder, Charles Fillmore. Early in his talk, this well-meaning but somewhat self-righteous speaker said, "In my ministry, we do not pass the offering plate. We leave one at the back of the room and if anyone wishes to give something, the plate is available. But I do not stress giving."

According to the oft-reported report, that's as far as he got! Charles Fillmore walked up to the lectern and said, "You may think and teach what you wish in your organization, but in this one, we believe in passing the plate because we know the law of giving and receiving. Not only do we pass the plate in our meetings, but the plate is always filled to overflowing. Students of Practical Christianity want to give so they can prosper, and so they can help this movement prosper." (p19-20)
