Excerpt from Christianity and the Man of to-Day
Whatever may be its other characteristics, ours is preeminently an era fraught with inquiry concerning religious standards. Perhaps never in its history has our Christian pulpit had so many problems to solve and questions to answer. But while there is a widespread inquiry concerning spiritual truth, there are also voices that are persistently calling men away from the inner life and the culture of the soul to those "practical" requirements whose tendencies are to stifle and deaden the high truths of faith. There is a "religion of success" that threatens to become the creed of our age and a sacred and absorbing conviction. One may discern in our modern life a tendency toward an education that seeks to know in order to get. Not only the Church, but the State and humanity are experiencing a blight that may be attributed to an overdone principle of the practical.
