“The burning enthusiasm, the quenchless zeal of the early church have gone, never, never to return. The ceremonies remain, but the ancient faith is fading out of the human heart.

As time rolls on, the miracles grow mean and small, and the evidences our fathers thought conclusive utterly fail to satisfy us”. –Robert G. Ingersoll
