Item 702

Ideas for the dedication to occupy an extra blank page in the printing of booklet “Society and Its Services” — verbatim notes by Spencer MacCallum in a lunch room with Heath in Baltimore. October 4, 1956

Dedicated to knowledge of the voluntary institutions of mankind.

Dedicated to the practical in which alone the ideal takes form.

Dedicated to those hidden beneficences in the forward ways

of Nature that we wot not of except by humbly trying to understand.

Dedicated to the providence of God as manifested in the voluntary institutions of men.

/Finally decided upon:/

The blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven are not in pomp and power but in the voluntary institutions of mankind.
