It construes the ur verse in terms of the requaements a Hegelian state. A Macchiavelian System German kultur in its relation to m rality and religion exhibits the sar general principle. It has two phase First, morality and religion becor instruments for the propagation German kultur in so far as they m be construed in favor of that kultu Second, they are to be set aside false in all those respects which a unfavorable to that kultur. Some Ge mans, of course, have been so train in the principles of Christian ethi that they cannot break fully awa Hence, as in the case of Bernharc they hold that morality is right a: proper for the individual, while it h no place whatever in the affairs the nation. The nation in itself a divine ere tion, it arises above the moral In which was made for the individual. follows from this that God is a no moral being so far as His plan for t nation is concerned. He made natu: The fundamental law of nature is t will to power and the survival of t fittest, that is, the most. powerful. T brute struggle for supremacy, ther fore, and the brute survival of t strongest becomes for the Germ mind a doctrine of Providence. Wh a strong nation crushes a weaker a tion it is simply obeying a divine la This form of the German idea God, however, is not the most natui expression of the fundamental prin ple of German kultur. The idea of G is a dangerous one to couple with thorough-going German progra Christian moral ideas are always 1i ble to return and torment the state its career of frightfulness.

Jesus and His religion must overthrown. Nietzsche called hims anti-Christ and gloried in the title. this way Nietzsche sought to era from the German conscience all moi scruples as to the right of power have its way.

To make the German nan eared to the ends of the earth and I the end of time is a necessary fact in Germany's ideal of war. It is rev Ily a reflection upon the Huns of ti early centuries to compare the mode: Germans to them or co call them 1 that name. The ancient Huns we ? ;perhaps morally on a level with the le modern successors. But the mode. s. German is infinitely superior in scie 1e tific attainment and in capacity I ?f devisir.g methods of terror and of to i turs. Germany in its conduct of to r. present war is afflicted with an a 1s1gravated species of moral insanit re The furor Teutonicus, of which s) r- boasts, has seized upon all the devic ad which science has contrived for h Cs man welfare and turned them again y' mankind. The statement that Ge li, many has deliberately attempted u scientific organization and applic a tion of crime in the conduct of tl o war can easily be demonstrated. crime has been omitted. No system a- ie use of crime has been neglected. I I department of human life has be (forgotten.

And yet no nati f- has ever been so stupid in attemptii -i. to interpret the political and diplomr a. ic ideals of other nations.

America and h t Allies are giving their own interpr y tation to its meaning on the bloo y [fields of France. We must win t n war if this planet is to remain hab ii. able for free peoples. Mr. Wells, iy his novel, "Mr. Britling Sees r'e Through," and in his later theologic a discussion, has presented the reacti be 'of one very thoughtful modern mia or to the tragedy of the great war as tv relactesc to the problem of God's go vs ernent of the world. Mr. Wellsd as plores with all of us the rise of a u. liticat power so ldevoid of regard i as human rights. But he regards t ce failure of God to prevent the cat .clysms as evidlence of His finitene: ( od is astruggler, and He needls us ..assHim in winning a victory. God were infinite in power lie wou 'If have .forestalled the great war. In >.word, the chaos and suffering of t w present heur prove either that God il- mndifferent or' that lHe is finite. Su, ke dlisordetr as we now w~ itness compr .'nuses either His goodness or His po 'r- em. Mr. Wells clings to the goodne t. and~ questions the p~ower. er Answering Mr. HI. G.

The love of peace and ridh y cousness is essential. WVe may c-o il chude,. then, with Mr. Wells that G< e, is l~imitedl. lie does not exert infini ,power in human affairs. But we mao add God is not finite in the possessi< [8 of .power, but self-limited in its e ercise in ordler to permit men to free and to achieve thie ends of fre dloin in character and in governmnen - God is omnipotent, but omnipoten< cannot create a moral kingdom. Or mipotence exerted to prevent even ti great war might involve the sacrific ie of our highest moral values as a ra< 9 --freedom and self-dleterminatio Hence, God limits Himself that v~ i. may achieve freedom. .Freedom is indeed God's highea -y gift to man. But It is also the mo: fearful in Its possIbilitIes and its bu: 3. dens. French revolutions and Hiohei izollern dynasties and great wars ar Ie Russian debacles slumber in ti s, womb of this great gift we call frei donm. Its abuse bhings the greatei id milsery. But-to-take it from. us isi rob us of our bIrthright and of oi most r diant hopes. ,Throughotit ti t. slow ages, then, God permits us struggle with the problem and achieve I1 g the self-government required by the r r- free individual and the free society. e Mr. Wells is right in asserting that o. God permits us to struggle with the 1e problem and achieve the self govern to ment required by the free individual or and the free society. Mr. Wells is 1- right in asserting that God has a 1e great problem and that we should rn sympathize and cooperate with Him in )y His struggle. But God's problem is re not to combat evil with finite power. ir God's problem is to save men and at ma the same time leave them free. If we n- think only of infinite power in God, or then we must conceive of men as pup r- pets and not as free personalities. In e strict logic, Mr. Wells' idea of what _ an infinite God would and should do y implies an autocratic form of govern e ment closely analgous to that of the es Kaiser. God's kingdom is a democracy. u- Hence, He employs moral and person st al and spirtual means for bringin? r- about His will among men, and no~t a merely unlimited power. a- Democracy Divine o Let us imagine for a moment that t- God should adopt the referendum as o a means of determining how He wil! en govern mankind henceforth, wheth r ed by absolute and infinite power, com of pelling, preventing and ordering the ns world according to an infinite will, or ed by leavmng men free to work out their' >st Pro.blems under His general super ist vision. How would the people of thw ic free democracies of the world east their ballots? For autocracy or d1a of nocracy? We are assured befpreharni ile how they would vote. In the present i war God is calling upon the democrat Ie peoples of the earth to support the st divine government itsetf. German kiul in tur unifies in a governmental and st social system all those factors of eiv is ilization which oppose freedom ani self-det-roiination. The Allied Low ers represent the antithetic eleier.s at all vital points. Freedom ant +a ad Toeracy are the radiant center of as God's kingdom on earth. But for us th they are to be both a gift and an n- achievement. Freedo:n and self-dater as mination are His priceless gift to us. A But these cannot be mer-ly anne: e.i r- or appropriat..
