111: LOVE--UNITY (THE GREATEST NEED)

"The greatest need it seems everywhere inside the Cause is to impress upon

the friends the need for love among them. There is a tendency to mix up

the functions of the Administration and try to apply it in individual

relationships, which is abortive, because the Assembly is a nascent House

of Justice and is supposed to administer, according to the Teachings, the

affairs of the Community. But individuals towards each other are governed

by love, unity, forgiveness and a sin-covering eye. Once the friends grasp

this they will get along much better, but they keep playing Spiritual

Assembly to each other and expect the Assembly to behave like an

individual."
