"Dr. Wayne Hudson, the great brain surgeon, lost his life by drowning.  His own life was influenced by this great obsession that he communicated to others, thereby changing their whole outlook and consequently their lives.  Young Merrick, unwittingly and partly responsible for Hudson's death, decoded his secret diary, which changed his whole future.  Dr. Hudson's Secret Journal upholds a faith, it emphasises the significance of spiritual values.  It does not, however, postulate a church and a hierarchy: the practice of Hudson's faith must be in life itself.  Therein lies its whole secret and power."
