MODERNISM
BISHOP BARNES’S ADVOCACY. (United Press Association—By Electric > Telegraph.—Copyright.) V LONDON, Sept. 30._ Bishop Barnes, preaching at Birmingham Cathedral, spoke on “Modernism. He said:' They were faced with the two-fold task of defending and consolidating religious gains of the Reformation against the revival of old credulities, and of meeting the Evangelical “fundamentalism” by absorbing into its faith the new knowledge of the era. Those who misunderstand us say that we are slipping into the ditch of unbelief, but we remember that where the Lord is there is freedom, and the sense of religious freedom is an exhilarating thing in modernism. We must set the Christian message against a new background. Fear paralyses too many religious teachers today.” Bishop Barnes added: “The modernist churchman will not put a mascot on his mo’or car, or have his car blessed by a Priest in some fanciful pseudo-religious service.”
