Unless you turn out to be a hermit or a recluse (pleasant to contemplate but hard to achieve in an atomic age), you, yourself, in the flesh, will probably belong to a half-dozen such organizations, including at least your church, community, and professional groups. More important, it means that if you are to give your best to these organizations, and if you are to rise to a position of respect and influence in them, you will need to know something of parliamentary discussion, parliamentary law, and parliamentary strategy.
