When I have had a bit more philosophy and psychology, which I shall augment with scripture study, I am going to work out some of the great “laws” that govern the affairs of men, temporal and spiritual. Dozens of these laws are being used to-day unconsciously, by successful and happy people. I believe it will be the biggest step ever taken in philosophy if a 100 or so of these laws were to be carefully worked out and studied. It was Dad’s idea but he has not bothered to carry it far enough. Again he is prone to be too communicative. These things demand elaboration before communication.
