In the Klrchen Anzelger there is a >\HvrriHt'i>.sby Stadt- I'farrer Brock bans, '^headed "What IS Now Our Duty?" The preacher after denouncing "the cruel and Incredible terms" of the treaty, goes on: "There Is a revenge which is holy and ennohjes all tliose who m tirlsh it In their hearts. We cannot sit down under the awful humiliation. Hut we must wait Cod's time. We must wait for him to die-, late our ; cntll'^e. Me who 'led the tier* .man people from weakness to strength, he who once blessed our efforts in our world mission is punishing us now for our sins, hut he lias great work for us yet and lie will see that we yet stand on the necks of our adver saries." All through these sermons dealing with the piiiee and the pres ent situation generally the (Jernian clergy continuously exhort their flock's to he patient, to he steadfast during the days of tribulation. In a perfunctory sort of way they acknowl edge that tribulation has come upon the people because of their sins and shortcomings, but the sins and short coinings have nothing to do with the guilt of causing tl>e war or with the Ineffable crimes committed by (Jer many in the four years of its dura tion.
