A GERMAN VIEW.

Frederick Wilhelm Niezche was
one Of the most noted of modern
German philosophers. How much has
philosophy affected the views and
character Of the Germans of to-day?
Is not the answer written in the
blood of the women and children, the
old men of occupied France and Gel
GUM? Are not the Lusitania vic
tins witnesses to German adoption
of Nietzche's faith?
Here is his Indictment of Christian
ity: with this | conclude and pro-
nounce my sentence: condemn
Christianity. To me it is the great
est Of all imaginable corruptions.
The church is the great parasite;
with it's enemic idea of holiness it
drains life of oil it's strength, its
love and its hope. The other world
is the motive for the denial of every
reality. call Christianity the one
great curse, the one great intrinsic
depravity, the one great intrinsic
revenge for which no expedient is
sufficiently poisonous, secret, under
hand, to gain its ends. | call it the
one immortal shame and blemish up
on the human race"
