Let all things be done decently and in order.—Paul.
The lawful and orderly presentation of so important a subject as Christian Science must be recognized as one of the prime essentials of successful Christian endeavor. Always to say and to do the right thing at the right time requires more than human wisdom or impulse. Before one has learned the true inwardness of Christian Science, as well as the unwillingness of mortals to receive and appropriate the message of Truth and Love, he is very apt to ignore the divine order, and to attempt to say and do things in his own strength and wisdom. While his intentions are good, and no one can censure him for wanting to share with others the priceless blessings that have come to him, he has not yet learned the truth of the old English Proverb,—
A man may well bring a horse to the water,
But he cannot make him drinke without he will.
