Dreiser responds to a letter from June 26th in which Vaughan asked him if he thought that there was soon to be an extensive spiritual awakening. Dreiser notes: "... speaking of a spiritual awakening , you may sweep away all reference to organized religion. I have no interest in that." He discusses Mary Baker Eddy and Vedanta philosophy and says, "The ultimate power or force ... does not appear to me to be still ... but subject to change. It ticks like a clock, now forward, now back."
