f these words in order to get the effect
of their delicious melody--"Cherubinen, Seraphinen, Zeppelinen!" And
lest you think that this too-musical clergyman is a rara avis, turn to
the little book which has been published in English under the same
title as Herr Vorwerk's "Hurrah and Hallelujah." Here is the Reverend
S. Lehmann:

Germany is the center of God's plans for the world.
Germany's fight against the whole world is in reality the
battle of the spirit against the whole world's infamy,
falsehood and devilish cunning.

And here is Pastor K. Koenig:

It was God's will that we should will the war.

And Pastor J. Rump:

Our defeat would mean the defeat of His Son in humanity. We
fight for the cause of Jesus within mankind.

And here is an eminent theological professor:

The deepest and most thought-inspiring result of the war is
the German God. Not the national God such as the lower
nations worship, but "our God," who is not ashamed of
belonging to us, the peculiar acquirement of our heart.

It is a cheap way to gain applause in these days, to denounce the
Prussian system; my only purpose is to show that Bible-worship,
precisely as saint-worship or totem-worship, delivers the worshipper

Prussia. During the middle of the last century there was fought out a
mighty issue in our free republic; and what was the part played in
this struggle by the Bible-cults? Hear the testimony of William Lloyd
Garrison: "American Christianity is the main pillar of American
slavery." Hear Parker Pillsbury: "We had almost to abolish the Church
before we could reach the dreadful institution at all."

In the year 1818 the Presbyterian General Assembly, which represented
the churches of the South as well as of the North, passed by a
#unanimous# vote a resolution to the effect that "Slavery is utterly
inconsistent with the law of God, which requires us to love our
neighbor as ourselves." But in a generation the views of the entire
South, including the Presbyterian Church, had changed entirely. What
was the reason? Had the "law of God" been altered? Had some new
"revelation" been handed down? Nothing of the kind; it was merely that
a Yankee by the name of Eli Whitney had perfected a machine to take
the seeds out of short staple cotton. The cotton crop of the South
increased from four thousand bales
