安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 101
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
As the half-dozen young men who constituted our inner circle grew in knowledge, it was inevitable that the mysteries of life and death, the here and the hereafter, should cross our path and have to be grappled with. We had all been reared by good, honest, self-respecting parents, members of one or another of the religious sects. Through the influence of Mrs. McMillan, wife of one of the leading Presbyterian ministers of Pittsburgh, we were drawn into the social circle of her husband's church. [As I read this on the moors, July 16, 1912, I have before me a note from Mrs. McMillan from London in her eightieth year. Two of her daughters were married in London last week to university professors, one remains in Britain, the other has accepted an appointment in Boston. Eminent men both. So draws our English-speaking race together.] Mr. McMillan was a good strict Calvinist of the old school, his charming wife a born leader of the young. We were all more at home with her and enjoyed ourselves more at her home gatherings than elsewhere. This led to some of us occasionally attending her church.

白话
卡内基和几个年轻朋友组成小圈子,随着见识增长,生死、今生来世这些谜题自然找上门来。他们都在正直自尊的父母身边长大,分属不同教派。通过麦克米伦牧师的妻子,他们被拉进教会社交圈。牧师是严格的老派加尔文主义者,妻子却是天生的青年领袖,大家在她家聚会最自在,于是有人偶尔去她的教堂。这说明:年轻人对信仰的追问,往往不是靠教条解决,而是被一个温暖、有魅力的引路人带进群体生活。
上下文
卡内基自传中回忆青年时期在匹兹堡的社交与宗教生活,涉及麦克米伦夫妇。
