Dear Charles & Kack.
I just got home from my trip to Purdue University - the same story. There is, just now, a curious sort of clinging, as though they were
determined to find God in you.
This is a big scientific school - 4000 young engineers. In a curious
way they too have suddenly lost all faith in our competitive, individualistic civilization. They are pretty naive - half wanting, half hoping you have - hidden about your person - the key to the house of God.
I talked, largely off hand - about people - small people workers etc.
seen? - told stories. They laughed and listened.
I told the story of the old woman who, when I built my grand house said -
"we like to have you here but before you came we were all poor together.
Then I told the story of John's saying to me - about the grand house -
that it set us up above people.
