tion of the historic method have shown that not a few of
the theological dogmas were infiltrated into Christianity
from the religions and philosophies which surrounded it
from its birth; and those who are called “modernists” re-

Roman and Protestant, Modernist and Fundamentalist,

the conviction that a Divine purpose is working out in the
universe and the world of men. And this is another great
accomplishment; for history shows how scepticism as to
the existence of such a purpose leads to pessimism, and how
the warring whims and passions of a pantheon create chaos
in the thought and conduct of those to whom they are a
