The dissolution of the visible organization of the Church is the sequence and complement of that of the College Corporation and Association. The College disappeared, "that the spirit of Christ might have freer course among its students and all who come into the understanding of Divine Science"; the bonds of organization of the Church were thrown away, so that its members might assemble themselves together and "provoke one another to good works" in the bond only of Love.
All that is needed in explanation of the above named changes is found in the concluding paragraphs of the article, "The Way" written by the Teacher (Journal for December): "When students have fulfilled all the good ends of organization, and are convinced that by leaving the material forms thereof a higher spiritual unity is won, then is the time to follow the example of the Alma Mater? "For Jesus to walk the water was scientific insomuch as he was able to do this." ..."Peter's impetuosity was rebuked. He had to learn from experience; so have we. The methods of our master were in advance of the period in which he personally appeared. But his example was right, and is available at the right time."
