Organic Societies

Truly organic societies are those in which individuals are associated due to some strong common bond, such as interest in temperance reform. Each new member is enlisted because of his personal interest in the cause. As he joins the society he becomes himself an active member of the group, a new cell in the growing organism who adds to the strength of the organization by active contribution to the attainment of its objects. Strong societies are usually those which begin small and grow slowly taking in only converts to the cause, who are firm additions to the structure of the group.
