[As published in the Christian Science Sentinel of July 28, 1923]
The question is often raised among Christian Scientists as to just how the By-law in the Church Manual regarding the joining of other societies should be applied to our everyday interest in world affairs; and while this is a problem which must be left largely to individual demonstration, yet there are times when a word on the subject may be helpful.
At present there seems to be a strong impulse among Christian Scientists to organize or join clubs or societies having for their object the giving to men and women a more conspicuous place in political and social activities, and many of our good Scientists are engaged in work of this kind, their intention being to create an interest among both sexes in all that stands for reform in governmental, civil, and social circles.
