"We want a new organ something really fine, you know," he observed casually as he turned back to Gabriella. "We are moving everything is moving up, and the church has to keep step with the age. You can't keep progress out of religion any more than you can out of business not that I'm in favour of modernism or any of that stuff but we've got to keep moving."
And Robert Elsmere is a study in Modernism or at any rate it has so many affinities with Modernism, that now the French public would be interested. The length of the book, however, could not be got over, and the plan fell through. But I came away from my talk with a remarkable man, not a little stirred.
He found disciples of many varied types, and in France movements such as Neo-Catholicism or Modernism on the one hand and Syndicalism on the other, endeavoured to absorb and to appropriate for their own immediate use and propaganda some of the central ideas of his teaching.
I know it is the cool night wind the uneven contraction of materials expanded in the heat of the day. Yet do I go into the darkness outside otherwise than alert? It is this evolution of our sense of ghost terror ages of it that fascinates us. Can we, with a few generations of modernism behind us, throw it off with all our science?
Then he went off to a consultation at the Hotel Bristol on a Balkan prince, whose malady, hitherto expressed by evil living, had suddenly taken an acute and terrible turn and Adams found himself alone with Dr. Duthil. "That is Thénard all over," said Duthil. "He is the high priest of modernism.
It is our geography that makes us Americans of the present, children. We are the product of a day. The redman is the product of withered ages.

It would seem to me to be a sign of modernism in us to preserve the living esthetic splendors in our midst. Every other nation has preserved its inheritances.
From the point attained in the lecture on "A Working Philosophy," a point I believe to be clearly indicated by Christian philosophy and sharply differentiated from that of paganism or modernism, I would adventure further and even into a field of pure theory where I can adduce no support or justification from any other source.
Modernism is the infiltration into minds that begin by being Catholic and wish to remain so of two contemporary influences: one the rationalistic study of the Bible and of church history, the other modern philosophy, especially in its mystical and idealistic forms.
The mind of William Morris was profoundly reactionary He hated the whole trend of later nineteenth-century modernism with the hatred natural to a man of considerable scholarship and intense aesthetic sensibilities. His mind turned, exactly as Mr. Belloc's turns, to the finished and enriched Normal Social Life of western Europe in the middle ages, but, unlike Mr.
In the first place, Modernism destroys the historical basis of Christianity, and converts the Incarnation and Atonement into myths like those of other dying and rising saviour-gods, which hardly pretend to be historical. But it was this foundation in history which helped largely to secure the triumph of Christianity over its rivals.
