Excerpt from In the Service of the King: Suggestions for Unifying the Parochial System of Teaching and Training the Young Life of the Church
The lesson which the age is teaching us, so far as organization goes, is "united command", concentration, efficiency. If the teaching power of the parish is to count - and never has it been more necessary that it should count - each society and each individual responsible for the training of youth must enter into a common program.
Patience is necessary until this point of view can be pushed home. Risks must be taken by all who enter into the combined plan - risks for the sake of greater success. But in the end any parochial society which fails to support the common good will be taking a far greater risk, that of becoming a stumbling block to the progress of the Church.
We are entering a new era in parish life. Miss Withers" plan is one of its signs, an indication of the opportunity which lies before the Church, and a bold essay to seize it for the good of the Church and of the coming generation.
