THE VALUE OF CHURCH ORGANIZATION

From the December 1937 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Rightly viewed, organization means co-operation, protection, and orderly procedure. Observation shows how much concerted action based on right ideals accomplishes, and how little is done today without organized effort. Men need to learn to work together for the good of all, and all for the good of each one.

Loving brotherhood, tenderly caring for the welfare of one another, is the ideal in church organization. The spirit of friendliness expressed in kindly thoughtfulness and in the encouragement of others, the sharing of the treasures of thought that come through study of the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings, and demonstration of what we learn there, willingness to consider others' needs and to supply them so far as we are able—these are the fruits we find in organization which is on the right spiritual basis.
