Carbon of a Letter from Heath to Mildred Loomis, Lane’s End Homestead, Brookville, Ohio.

November 2, 1956

Dear Mildred Loomis:

     I was happy to see in your Interpreter recently an article by our excellent friend, Edmund A. Opitz. I am glad you are interested in him and he in you and your work.

     I think a great deal of Spiritual Mobilization as advocated in Faith & Freedom, Los Angeles; I think that group of people, headed by Drs. Fifield and Ingebretsen, are doing more, perhaps, towards a better world than any other group I know.

     My own approach to the social scene is funda­mentally religious, and it brings me up to the practical proposition of proprietary administration outgrowing the present political processes under which mankind suffers so much grief and war.

     My own little movement is incorporated now under the name of “Science of Society Foundation,” and we are contemplating an occasional report, perhaps becoming a periodical, under the name of The Alternative, the alter­native being the golden rule of contractual, voluntary relationships in community administration in lieu of the iron rule, based on coercion instead of service, that now prevails.

     You might be interested in the enclosed material on the Suez problem and other things.

     With success and happiness to you in the pursuit and happiness of your ideals.

Sincerely,

SH/m
