Who needs organization?

Marrin Hibbard Robinson

In submitting this narrative, the author, a college student, noted: I offer this in the spirit of Mrs. Eddy's request, ".... that you, her students' students, who write such excellent letters to her, will hereafter, as a general rule, send them to the editors of The Christian Science Journal for publication, and thereby give to us all the pleasure of hearing from you."^{Miscellaneous Writings, p. 155.}

When I applied for class instruction in Christian Science, a kind of mental revolution began.

I had always thought of myself as anti-organization. I never took part in committees or school government, and being an only child in a family that moved frequently, I was used to accomplishing projects on my own. For a long time I even believed that part of the appeal of Christian Science was what I saw as its independence from human organization.
