安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
In religious matters we were not much hampered. While other boys and girls at school were compelled to learn the Shorter Catechism, Dod and I, by some arrangement the details of which I never clearly understood, were absolved. All of our family connections, Morrisons and Lauders, were advanced in their theological as in their political views, and had objections to the catechism, I have no doubt. We had not one orthodox Presbyterian in our family circle. My father, Uncle and Aunt Aitken, Uncle Lauder, and also my Uncle Carnegie, had fallen away from the tenets of Calvinism. At a later day most of them found refuge for a time in the doctrines of Swedenborg. My mother was always reticent upon religious subjects. She never mentioned these to me nor did she attend church, for she had no servant in those early days and did all the housework, including cooking our Sunday dinner. A great reader, always, Channing the Unitarian was in those days her special delight. She was a marvel!

白话
在宗教方面，我们没受太多束缚。当其他男孩女孩在学校被迫学习《小教理问答》时，多德和我却因某种我至今不清楚的安排被豁免了。我们家族的所有亲戚，莫里森家和劳德家，在神学和政治观点上都很开明，我确信他们反对教理问答。我们家没有一个正统的长老会教徒。父亲、艾特肯叔叔和阿姨、劳德叔叔，还有卡内基叔叔，都背离了加尔文教的信条。后来，他们中的大多数人一度在斯威登堡的教义中找到了庇护。母亲对宗教话题总是沉默寡言。她从未向我提起这些，也不去教堂，因为早年没有仆人，她包揽所有家务，包括做周日晚餐。她一直是个大读者，那时特别喜爱一位论派的钱宁。她真是个奇迹！
