Imelda Octavia Shanklin served at Unity School from 1910 until 1930. Her metaphysical activities embraced lectures, class work, and contributions to magazines and other publications. Her published writings include the following: "Selected Studies" Unity publication of 1921, later translated as "All things Made New" in "key to Life Bookshelf," 1926. "The Lord's Prayer," a Unity pamphlet, 1922. "The Sayings of Jesus Christ," Unity pamphlet, 1923. "Lesson for Young Students," Unity, 1924. "Good Words," a Unity inspirational series. "Treasure Box," Unity, 1927. "What Are You?" Unity, 1929. "Our Enchanted Island," (Not Unity), a study for young metaphysicians. While at Unity, she was editor-in -chief and also editor of Wee Wisdom from 1922 until 1930, at which time she left Unity to devote her time for several years to the preparation of a metaphysical study called "The Cosmic Adventure." This is an analytical study of the Bible, of which one commentator said the "conception of the Dweller, the soul, and the Adventure is both clear and illuminating, adding something important to the understanding of the symbology of the Bible." Her last oral teachings were given in connection with Unity work in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She made her transition in May, 1953 in Viola, Iowa.
