Excerpt from Looking Forward: Mass Education Through Publicity
I have borrowed my Prologue wholesale from one of the greatest writers living.
I offer no apology.
Whoever reads my book and gleans my meaning will see how admirably the Lord God's answer to Peter fits the idea I have tried to express.
Then it seemed to Peter's fevered brain that he was sitting, and had been sitting for a long time, in the little office of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth. And the Lord God had the likeness of a lean, tired, intelligent-looking oldish man, with an air of futile friendliness masking a fundamental indifference.
"My dear sir," the Lord God was saying, "do please put that cushion behind your poor shoulder. I can't bear to see you so uncomfortable. And tell me everything. Everything..."
The office was the dingiest and untidiest little office it was possible to imagine. The desk at which God sat was in a terrible litter.
