Preaching to The Choir

I trust that some may be as near and dear to Buddha, or Christ, or Swedenborg, who are without the pale of their churches. - Thoreau

Author's Note

"The preachers and lecturers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves. Why, a free-spoken man, of sound lungs, cannot draw a long breath without causing your rotten institutions to come toppling down by the vacuum he makes. Your church is a baby-house made of blocks, and so of the state." - Thoreau
