Rcpnriiinr Modernisrn


I'm the news columns of The Age-Herald
few DAYS ago it was announced that
four of the churches in the Catholic dio-
| cese of Mobile had been raised by Bishop
Allen to the rank of irremovable rector
ships and that the irremovable rectors,
one of whom is Father Coyle, in connec-
tion with the new honor recited the pro-
| fession of faith and took the oath against
modernism" said a well known layman.
Notwithstanding the fact that modern
ism, as technically used. has been eX
planned time and again by ecclesiastical
writer's l find there is still much con-
fusion in the popular mind regarding this
question. A few years ago when it was
attracting attention and was being wide
ly discussed, the Right Rev. Monsignor
Moyes, d. D., of London, wrote the Nine
teenth Century and after what seemed
to me most Illuminating article anent
the definition and trend of the phrase
referred to. This was his opening para
grph:
1.-Two questions suggested by recent
events are not unfrequently upon the
lips of inquiriers: "What is Modernism
and why has the Pope condemned it?"
We may put aside first of all, the hasty
conjecture that the pope, by some tradi-
tional instinct of his see has wished to
| illuminate against modern life and prog
ress. The "Modernist' is not of the
pope's minting. 1t was used by modernist
writer's themselves to connote their own
ethos of thought and writing, and the
Pope-rather courteously l think-took the
term just as he found it. For the rest,
the church has no particular quarrel
modern civilization. If every people in
Christendom wished to have fuller meas
ure of civil liberty under more demo-
cratic conditions, the Holy See has de-
forms of government and that she is
ready to bless and support any or all

men desire to make the most abundant

to her members is that of saying mo"

otherwise, the liberty, In those who pro-
fess her creeds and share her communion,

THEY DID Nor acELEBRArE.e

A flood of oratory rolled
Ger this fair land from shore to shore,
And every tongue a message told,
The Glorious Fourth has come once
more"
The eagle screamed, the stars and stripes
Were Haunted on the passing breeze,
But there were men who smoked their
pipes
And stayed at home where there was
ease.
No pushing through the heated throng,
No trampling on by eager crowds
Their voices were not heard in song
That upward swelled to reach the
clouds.
They did not cheer and noises make
To show their patriotic bent;
They did not even keep awake,
But half the day in slumber spent.
All, well, we cannot blame them much
At heart they're doubtless just as
brave
AS those whose fingers wildly clutch
The nations flag its folds to wave.
If battles call should sound again
And threats of war fright coward hearts,
How soon we'd see them rise amain
And dying, play heroic parts!

But in view of the impossibility of leg

hope. Should the prohibitionists aban-

less spectacular but more effective edn-
cational campaign, they would wake up
some bright morning confronted with the
fact that instead of the opposition of the
average citizen they would have his sim

G. Wells is more responsible than any,
body else for pretty nearly all the latest
developments of English fiction, so we
may as well give him the credit, or dis
credit, of the leisurely psychological de-
velopment so much fancied at present.
| Whether Mr.. Wells began it or
not, it is quite certain that his most
prominent disciple, Mr. Arnold Bennett,
fostered it, and it is equally certain that
it still remains the ideal of promising
novelists. Mr.. Gilbert Cannans "Round

to the facle work of the later Victorian
novelists, and there is a common readiness

credit.

prohibtionists than the annual re-
mort of the internal revenue collectors OF
the American government.
In the fiscal year ending July l, 19l3
there was a decrease of 1900 in the num-
ber of saloons. This tends to Illustrate
just how actively the valiant cohorts of
the white ribbon battalion have kept
on the trail of the licensed dispensaries
of demon rum. However, in the fiscal
year ending July /. 1918, 100000 gallons
of liquor. and 100000 barrels of beer
were consumed in the United States in ex-
cess of the amount consumed in the fiscal
year of 1872 This tends to illustrate
the ineffectuality of the prohibitionists,
and the extent to which they are mis-
guided in their efforts.
1t is remarkable how coldly indiffer-
ent are the people of America. We be-
hold in every field the white ribboned
patriots laboring in the grape juice vine
yard, these patriots who have eschewed
politics and political preferment, and no
longer have an interest in taking up 'the
usual collection" We behold a native
son of Alabama, Mr. Hobson, mailing
terpiece, 1.-The Great Destroyer" in which
he describes with remarkable accuracy,
and viyidness almost incomprehensible,
the horrors which follow in the wake of
a corpuscle on drunk; behold him mall
ing out / 500, 600 personal letters to young
men. letters in which he points out the
deadly effect of alcohol on man and beast
and fruit trees of various descriptions.
And yet the thirst endures. In the
fiscal year of 1918, ,14s 100000 gallons of
whisky and brandy were consumed in the
United States, this being an increase
over the consumption of the previous year
of 100000 gallons. Sixty-four million,
five hundred thousand barrels of beer
were consumed, an increase of 100000
barrels.
This despite the effort of the patriots,
and the abolition of 1900 saloons! What
is to be done? The prohibitionists have
scored a miserable failure. They have
shown that despite their ability to de-
crease the number of grog shops, they
cannot quench by legislation the great
American thirst They have failed.
What next must we attempt?
