Excerpt from My Clerical Friends: And Their Relations to Modern Thought I have lived from childhood among the clergy. They have received me both in rural and urban parsonages, and even, if it may be said without ostentation, in episcopal mansions. My acquaintance with them extends over forty years. Without any claim to unusual penetration, I have an inquisitive and observant mind, and have not wholly neglected my opportunities. The clergy have taught me many things, chiefly extra-professional, including some which it was not their intention to teach. They have suggested to me, without design, a good deal more than they have taught. I owe to my intercourse with them, and my long familiarity with their life and manners, a multitude of fruitful reflections. At first confused and undefined, they have long since coalesced, grown into symmetrical form, and can now be contemplated as a whole.
