The literary circles Of Germany have been startled
by the report that Pofes Daumer Of Nuremberg has
inined the Cstholic Church. Germany, like England
has witnessed during the present century consldera
Die lumber of remarkable conversions 20 Catholicism,
not so much among the clergy Of the estab shed Prot
estant Churches as among the Merqf Wepoint to
Ian es, a. Count Stoberg, Frederick Schlegc', Hur.
ter Florcucourt Countess Hahn. But none of these
has taken public opinion much by surprise as that
of Professor Daumer. Daumer q Hegelian OF the
left wing and was prominent among the writers OF his
school for his hostility TO Christianity In several
works he tiled to establish = fact tina, the ancient
Christians really offered human sacrifices, as they were
accused by the hea,hcns. Only few years ago we
read in an account which young, talented author
Max Wadan gave of visit to Daumer, that Dau-
mer demonstrated With him against tne Christian eie
ments in his writings In 1850 he published IN three
volumes his views on the religion ofthe future Since
them nothing has been heard of change IN his views
and his name was identified with an open, uncompro-
missing hostility Christianity. Judge then, OF the
general surprise when announced that the dse-
ule Of Hege and Spinoza had embraced the doctrines
Of Catholicism.
Reports of another conversion have been in clrcu-
lation which, if true would have created much
deeper sensation than that of An eccentric philosopher
They concerned no less a personagc than the h'ng
of Wurtemberg The Government of Wurtemberg
las lately concluded concordat with Rome, and con-
ceded to the Catholic Church position which, though
less free than that which she possesses in the United
Ststes, is looked upon by large portion OF the
Protestant clergy and people with dissatisfaction an
suspicion, because il confers advantages when
Protestant State Church can hardly expect ever 10
enjoy. Popular opinion ascrbed the CONCLUSION ot tue
