Organization.

organization had its orRln with the crea-
ton Of the world 1t is plainly written
upon every work Of Deity We find it in
the blade Of grass, in the grain Of sand,
whether in the hill or upon the sea-shore.
We find it in the green leaf that helps to
make the foliage Of the trees Of the forest,
az well as those that serve 10 beautify and
ornament the habltations of man. The
sun, the moon, the stars in the heavens
above, the fieecy clouds that soar over us
by day and by night, all bear infallible tes-
timony of the indispensibhty Of orgAniza-
ton, and of the wisdom of Him who first
set such shining examples and established
such precedence for the guidance of His
children. No good can be accomplished
without the all-essentiAl aid of this power
full medium. The greatest comforts and
blessings enjoyed by mankind are all attrib-
able to the organization of the mental
faculties Of ndR-the greatest, most power
full, useful and wonderful organization es-
tablished by the Creator. Let as cast our
eyes about us aud examine the various
works Of the Creator, and we will find or
ganization In them all. Even the air we
breathe Is composition, .. e., m organiza-
ton Of different ingredients essential TO its
existence, namely, oxygen and nitrogen.
Let this organization disbAnd, and the
earth, with its inhabitants, will soon cease
to exist. Some Of the strongest and most
impressive lessons Of organization are to be
found among the teachings OF mature.
Nature, in all her phases and ramihcations,
presents picture of organization that
draws forth the admiration of all combina-
tons Of a benehcent character and calls
loudly upon all disOrgAninng elements TO
pause i'll their maddened career and profit
by the example set forth in all Of Gods
works.
Every living creature contains in itself
and organization wonderful and complete
The human organization is constructed.
hrst, for existence and maintenance !:
second, for self-protection and third, for
improvement and progression. The second
and third depend entirely upon the power
and condition of the organization, while
without the first there would he no organi-
ZatiOn and consequently no conditions.
Aside from the physical organization of
man every patton, every society of people,
every family il an organization and must
necessarily be 90 for their own mutual ben
eht and protection. A disorganized family,
community or nation is indeed a pitiful
sight to behold. No good can come from
dlsorganlzatiOn among men. Let use take
for example, the jewish Empire. Ii
tiourished, became powerful, and made
rapid strides in the scale Of civilization and
progress. The people became the most
prosperous and thrifty people in all the
world, and continued in the enjoyment Of
comfort and prosperity 50 long as they
maintained their organization intact but
no sooner did the spirit Of disunion make
its appearance among them, than the en-
pre- began to totter, the prosperity of the
people was changed to adversity. War.
Dloodshed and famine was inaugurated
Internal dissensions- disorganization de-
stroyed the happiness Of the people, and
the empire crumbled in the dust. The
Jewish nation once the pride and admira-
ton Of the world, was reduced to nation
Of slaves and exiles. The history of the
old Roman Empire is similar in this res
pect TO that Of the Jewish Empire. Through
the medium of discipline and horottoh or
gdRazdttoR the Romans conquered the
world. Within the boundary lines Of the
empire all was prosperity, plenty was at
the door Of every Roman citizen, around
every Preside peace and happiness reigned
supreme. Rome became famous for the
skill and learning of her people In the
advancement of the sciences, in the diffus-
ION of knowledge among the inhabitants of
the world, Rome stood prominently
above all other nations. Rome, in time
OF peace, could not be excelled, and in war
the whole world trembled At the approach
OF the Roman army. Thus Rome continu-
ed proud and prosperous, without . peer
among the nstions Of the earth, until dis |
organization commenced its destructive
work. Internal dhsensions took the plaoe
OF harmony and union, and soon all was
oecionded with misery and woe where
once was peace and happiness. Rome fell |
