ORGANIZATION

From the February 1890 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Much is being done and much said in Christian Science circles about organization: Church Organization, Dispensary Organization, Sunday-school Organization, etc., etc. This, perhaps, is well, for one has recently said: "Organization seems to be in the divine order."

But are there not, in all the splendid plans laid and organizations consummated, dangers which must be closely watched, lest while we sleep satan (error) creep in and destroy the good?

Before organization, must come individual consecration. Self must form no part of the organized body. If fifty Christian Scientists were organized into a band, each one deeming his brother or sister better than himself or herself, and "in honor preferring one another," there would be an irresistible power for good. Even where "two or three are agreed as touching one thing, it shall be done unto them "; that is, if two or three lay aside self and seek with all their hearts the greatest good to the greatest number, regardless of consequences to self, their work shall be successful.
