J. H. Jowett wrote, I believe that what the world needs just now is not so much the multiplication of organization as the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

It is not more schemes we want, more associations, more meetings; we want the breath and fire of the Holy Ghost. A small organization, with breath in it, can do the work of an army....

We may be so absorbed in devising machinery and careless about the power which is to make it go. That is our peril. I know it; I feel it.
