Item 335

Recollection by Spencer MacCallum of Heath’s remarking on Sinnot’s passage on page 6 of Two Roads to Truth: “Through the slow centuries the dream lived on that man is not a rational being only, endowed with high powers of intelligence, but that in some mysterious way the spirit of the universe flows through him. This dream has been a powerful force to lift him out of barbarism.”

About 1954?

This is the idea the Church preserved during the thousand years after Christ, if only in the form that chattel slavery was to be avoided — that men, common men, might own themselves, hence enabling them to enter into contracts with each other.
