Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Thomas Carlyle said
religion Faith as a thing a society runs on, and what has been tried in its place.
Quackery and dupery do abound; in religions, above all in the more advanced decaying stages of religions, they have fearfully abounded: but quackery was never the originating influence in such things; it was not the health and life of such things, but their disease, the sure precursor of their being about to die!
