"And this is written deep in the nature of man: We must have sensible signs and figures, for we are partly spiritual and partly corporal... And the truths of religion are spiritual, and the rites and ceremonies are corporal; yet as the soul is contained in the body, so the truths of religion are contained in the rites and ceremonies of the Church... Show me a religion without rites and ceremonies, and I will show you a people drifting rapidly toward infidelity and the denial of all religion."

Rev. Jas L. (James Luke) Meagher, *Teaching Truth by Signs and Ceremonies; or, The Church, its Rites and Services, Explained for the People* (New York: Russell Brothers, 1882). Free on archive dot org.
