In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
In the time when Israel had no king, the condition was one of disorder because every person acted independently according to what seemed right in personal judgment. Doing what is right in one's own eyes means each one follows a self-chosen course without regard to a unifying authority. That self-directed course is contrary to the order of Christ, which requires united action rather than separate independence. Applied to medical work, it means Christian physicians are to labor in harmony together and under the direction of the Conference rather than acting on their own.
