If you ask me How shall l build
up the Kingdom Of God?' my answer
is: Be a good German. Stand fast by
the Fatherland. Do your duty and
fulfill your mission, Seek to submerge
yourself in German spirit, in German
mind. Be German in piety and will,
which simply means be true, faithful,
and valiant. Help as best you can
toward cur victory; help to make our
Fatherland grow and wax mighty"
