MODERNISM.
“Modernism is not n negative intelleetualism. Tt appears to ecclesiastical obscurantists to be so because Modernists place loyalty to truth. as our generation lias reached it. above any lessor loyaltv to institution or trndi- j tion. But Modernists are. ns T bare j sought to show, heirs of the Tteforma- j tion and the ‘Evangelical Movement. For that reason the gulf between the Modernist and the tnodrn Fvnngelical has practically vanished. And. j moreover. Modernism, by virtue .of its j verv basis, produces the piety mingled j with pity and humour which is the natural outcome of a living, faith, our past hsitory is any guide to .future developments, such Modernism marks the new direction of our rehrdous evolution. As an understandi in- of it spreads we shall get one of those periods of spiritual enrichment which cleanse and uplift human soj ejetv."—-Bishop Barnes
