Shall We Organize

From the September 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Some correspondents ask questions about organization that should draw out many answers. These questions go to the quick of the matter, and they represent a widely diffused thought that needs to be met.

Jesus and Science and Health both state principles; neither undertakes to tell us how to apply them in every detail of action. In giving us Himself, God gives us all. He works in us through co-operation on our part, through appropriation or application in action. The words of Jesus, "that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one that the world may know," etc., are perhaps the greatest sermon on organization ever preached.

Our Teacher says, "What we most need is the prayer of daily desire, of deeds, not words."
