The Germans must be made to real
lie that Paul's great teaching in Ro-
man Al, None of us liyeth unto him.
SELF applies to nations as well as to
individuals. Instead Of Deutschland
Uber Allies" they should say, Germany,
the servant and minister of all, or
Germany, the helper of all I come not
to be ministered unto, but to minister"
as Jesus said, is an eternal truth 1t is
the truth of a really great career, be
it that of the individual or the state.
And this is democracy's ideal. and this
will be the ideal of all the states in the
future.
A state that exists only for itself
must die. This is the eternal law of
God, and this the wrongly educated
Germans have up to this time refused
to learn. But they will have to do so
II the German government and peo-
pie are one, as they claim, then both
must be disciplined. and that is one
reason for our 'butting in The north
butted in on the south in 1861 and
preserved the Union and abolished the
slavery, and would not let the south
do as it pleased. Thus they forced the
northern social system on the south
They wiped out an evil that seemed
hopelessly entrenched in the south 1t
wos done for the good of the whole
country
So America now has had to butt in
on Germany, and insist on Il change
in it's government For the sake of
the peace Of the whole world it has had
to do this. The government as it now
is constituted, is q positive menace to
the rest of the world. 1t must go soon
er or later. no matter how hard or how
big SOP It is.
There can be no permanent peace in
the world until the brutal pagan, power
worShipping disturbers of the peace of
the world are exterminated or stripped
of their power. The world has become
too small for both autocracy and dem
ocracy. One or the other must go
down. The German leaders hate dem
ocracy but democracy has come to
stay. 1t has been a long time coming
and it is not yet fully here, even in
america, but it has come to stay.
The Kaiser crowd, the Pan-Germans
or Junkers, are not very different from
old King. Canute, who sat by the sea-
side and said to the tide of the Atlantic,
''Thus far and no further" The rising
tide swept right over him. So with
Kaiserism and Democracy, it is only
Neurasthenic one, half Grazing, I'M
UditlllCSu IGllS lOuS titd1lldSS, SuGn DIS the
kaiser, who would say to democracy.
Thus far and no further" The rising
democratic tide will sweep right over
the kaiserites, the junkerites, and the
miIitarists.
The world is sick of war and wants
q perpetual peace. This will come, but
the Kaisers must first go. Go to st.
Helena, to a school of democracy in ST.
IBERIA, to hell, or somewhere.
l. t.
has been many another man who has
been curse to the world, as the Pro-
testant Reformation movement has
proven. Even the devils can quote sa-
cred scripture, as the Good Book shows,
DO you notice that the kaiser never
once mentions Jesus, the great, strong
son of God, the Prince of Peace, the
great teacher of love and good will?
The kaiser is very fond of blasprem-
ously saying, Colt nit uns" God with
us) OF course, the Teuton God is the
devil for only the devil could encour-
age such brutality, such barbarism
such hell as the Germans are guilty of.
BILLY" Sunday is right when he says,
IF you could turn he'll upside down.
you would find a label made in Ger
many on it."
These Hohenzollern pirates and vip-
ers must be crushed then, before we
can get permanent peace on the earth
before Jesus Christ can have His
chance before human liberty, and
democracy can be safe, before the king
dom of God and righteousness can
come on the earth.
Prussian militarism is the great OBJ
stacle to all this, and so we say, ITO
hell with Prussian militarism." The
war cannot end until every Divine
RICHTER" is removed from power. The
invisible God alone is King of men and
Jesus Christ is mans !, only rightful
Lord: and they have and need no vice
gerents on earth. They ares here and
now present but so are the agents of
the devil. Outside God and Jesus
Christ. let the people rule and choose
and remove their own rulers, just as
they do in the great American repub-
lie, and just as they will do some day
in Germany when she is freed Of her
medieval rulers.
For any government to talk of di-
vine right to rule the world is sheer
nonsense in this twentieth century.
177G exploded that theory, but evident
