The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from God The Invisible King by H. G. Wells: traffic, the collecting of eggs, and the carrying of letters, the
distribution of bread, the notification of measles, for hygiene and
economics and suchlike affairs. The better we organise such things,
the freer and better equipped we leave men's minds for nobler
purposes, for those adventures and experiments towards God's purpose
which are the reality of life. But all organisations must be
watched, for whatever is organised can be "captured" and misused.
Repentance, moreover, is the beginning and essential of the
religious life, and organisations (acting through their secretaries
and officials) never repent. God deals only with the individual for
the individual's surrender. He takes no cognisance of committees.
