No Sect

By Editor

No Sect.—A little leaflet is placed in our hands in which no organization of Christians is advocated. It says, "To organize means to set boundaries." Now this depends on the purpose and kind of organization. If a company organize by a creed, they truly set boundaries to truth, to faith, to growth; but if they organize to do better work for God, that is quite another thing. The human body is quite an organization, in which each part is dependent and interdependent on each and all others. It would be a wretched mass of conglomeration without organization. Among the gifts God has set in the church is that of "governments." And He teaches discipline by teaching subjection to each other. No organization is a cheat and snare.
