MODERNISM GRIPS
BRITISH CHURCHMEN
Conflict Abroad More Keen Than
in America, Says London Pastor,
on Tour Here.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, February 23.-Mod-
ernism is getting 4 stronger hold on
America, according to Rev. w. Talbot
liindley, vicar of st. Johns Church,
London, England, ono of the speakers
at Founders week conference in
Moody Bible Institute.
while the newspapers in England
do not give the prominence to this
controversy between the fundamen-
talists and the modernists as they do
in the United States" said Mr.. Hind
ley. the war is just as keen in Lon
don and other parts OF England as it
is in America, only with this differ
ence-that the modernists have the
upper hand in my country and the
fundamentalists are not as well or
Every professor in both oxford and
Cambridge is 4 modernist, and | be-
lieve that the only hope for the fun
damentalistS in England is to found
a fundamentalist church of their own,
! irrespective of denominations. 1t is
different in America, as far as ] can
judge. Here the fundamentalists are
well organized and can cope with the
situation better than we can in Eng
!, land. The American laymen give you
more support than they do in my
country.
AT a recent conference of Anglican
Church leaders only seven out of the
seventy present were fundamentalists.
We have what are called near-evan-
gclicals, moderate liberals, who rule
OUT of the Bible all the miraculous.
such as Jonah and the whale Noah
and the flood. etc, but who do not
deny the virgin birth or the resur-
rection. There are modernists who
do, however. The situation, SO far as
modernism is concerned, is even
! worse among the on-conformists
than in the Church of England.
The big fight we are having in
England now is over the revision of
III" Prayer Book. 1t is being sought
TO fill it wish ritualism and modern
ism and to cut out. among other
things. every Old Testament refer
cncc in the marriage service. If
that is done. it will split the Church
of England in two. There is a strong
growing tendency to ritualism in
England today, and it is getting
stronger every day"
