That storm will concern rites which few orthodox Christians have ever regarded as heathen in their spirit, though some have come to know they are pagan in origin.
It is not wise to ignore this future struggle, but our main responsibility is to bear a manful part in the struggle which is now upon us.
There are three types of modernists.

There is, first of all, the Liberal, who regards Christianity as a form of Platonism resting on the idea of absolute values.

This is dangerous ground: something more is required.

Then there is the evangelical modernist, who accepts almost everything in the Higher Criticism, but holds to Christ as an incarnation of the Divine purpose, an incarnation, if you will, of God, all we can know of God limited by His human body, as God we must suppose is not limited, but still God.

And, finally, there is the Catholic modernist, who believes in a Church, who makes the sacraments his centre of religion, and exalts Christianity to the head of all the mystery religions which have played a part in the evolution of the human race.
This is not likely to be the prevailing type of modernism.
It looks as if the main body of modern opinion is moving in the direction followed by the second of these schools--the evangelical.
