It is sad indeed that Modernism has spread so alarmingly in England and Scotland, in the National Churches and among the Free Churches. However, there are signs that Modernists and Higher Critics are beginning to feel that all is not well with them. They are finding out that their negative theories do not feed the soul; that the preaching of ethics and politics and literature is not "the power of God unto salvation" (Rom. 1:16). It strangles spiritual life. It fails to attract congregations. On every hand there is the lament of dwindling church membership. It touches them on a very sore point, that small congregations mean small collections. This is where the boot pinches badly. They begin to wonder how spiritual life and power can be regained. Their efforts are only helping on the apostasy, and dragging their hearers down to perdition. Blind leaders of the blind!
