The Lord said, "Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will." (D&C 58:27.) Good things can be done through the Church organization, community organizations, and very often through no formal organization at all.

In humanitarian work, as in other areas of the gospel, we cannot become the salt of the earth if we stay in one lump in the cultural halls of our beautiful meetinghouses.
