...certain localities, and to a certain extent everywhere, this condition obtained and caused the downfall of the world's faith in the Youth Movement. Freedom and frankness between the sexes resulted in an unfortunate towering of moral standards when the thing to be hoped for was an elevation and clarification of those same standards. Many conventional standards set by previous generations are hypocritical, and in breaking away from them, other and better standards should be set and maintained. From the countless articles on the younger generation which I have read in every sort of periodical I should judge that...
...what has one to build his faith in a great literature to build on? It might be believed that this is to be another palace for a pauper. Yet consideration by the critical mind discredits this. The stage must be set before the actors can come. And the actors in this case are real literary characters who, unlike the usual puppets of modern fiction, live not alone on their own pages but in the memories of those who read the pages...

Farfetched, superficial, his book...
...widely supposed that theological differences are relatively unimportant today. Astonishingly, Bishop Brent finds that they are vitally important, are, in fact, the most important differences which exist among Christians. Before varieties of Christians can deal unitedly with practical matters they must, says the world-circling Bishop, "face problems of faith and order, of sacrament and authority." Herein the Bishop, an intellectual modernist, departs from the American liberals, whose inclination is to sidestep questions of faith and order, of sacrament and authority. Secondly, it is widely supposed that the non-Catholic churches have come, or are rapidly coming, to close cooperation...
