MODERN Modernism takes its direct descent
from Higher Criticism. It builds its castles on the shifting sands of the
so-called "assured results" of "critical Scholarship." But the true origin of
this deadly heresy can be traced to a garden-which garden all Modernists do
their best to legendarize-therein the first tragedy of Modernism took place. "As
for Modernism," said the Warden of a Madras College, "people make a mistake
when they think it is a new fad or that it is of a mushroom growth. Modernism,
as a certain mode of thinking, is as old as Mother Eve." How very true, for
Satan was the first of the cult and on his first introduction to-or rather
intrusion on-the human race, his first words were: "Yea, hath God said, Ye
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
