She maintained, withSara Hennell, that we may retain the religious sentiments in all their glowand in all their depth of influence, at the same time that the doctrines oftheology and all those conceptions of nature and man on which they rest arerejected; that we may have a disposition of the heart akin to that of theprophets and saints of religion, while we intellectually cast aside allwhich gave meaning to their faith and devotion.
