In his chapter, "Lo! Here is Fellowship," Benson wrote:
"One man is not a man." We need each other to realize ourselves. The story of human life of this planet is the record of man's slow learning of life's law of fellowship....Living to himself, man is weak, poor, joyless, limited. In fellowship he becomes strong, rich, happy and expansive. It brings him to a greater fullness of life and a comradeship of spirit which means personal enrichment to all....Loneliness is the most terrible tragedy of human spirit....One of the greatest things the Oxford Group Movement is doing to make fellowship possible....Fellowship is one of the great words of the New Testament as it is also one of the great facts of Christian history. Now the New Testament makes it quite clear that fellowship is in the Holy Spirit...It refers to fellowship with the Holy Spirit. But even more, it means fellowship with one another in and through the Holy spirit. It refers to a certain quality, intensity and power of fellowship which is created by the presence of the Holy Spirit in a group of people and by His action upon them....Jesus....gathered....a fellowship of mutual service through sacrifice, and their task was to win all men to the fellowship of the love of God revealed by Jesus Christ....This close, intimate communion with Christ drew them to each other in mutual affection and mutual helpfulness, each seeking to share with the other his own resources in Christ Jesus.
