der observation-disclosures they Ike to
conform to instruction u until that
which they have achieved has excited
the admiration Of the world, and still
more their own admiration. SO that
the German people have come 10 believe
that they are In partnership with God.
The only explanation they can offer IS
that they are doing Gods work; that
they discovered this 'kultur' for God and
that God needs 'kultur' in spreading
His civilization over the world.
The German mind loves ineXorable
logic. They are not so fortunate In Sc
lecting their premises, but in logic they
are iron; and II II happens, as u must
happen, that their logic is good and
they began with an unsound premise
and reach an unsound conclusion which
differs from the facts. it Is so much
the worse for the facts-such conf
dence have they in their logic.
Mr.. Taft here illustrated the above
point by the following story told him
by President Richmond Of Union Col
lege, who stated that a certain German
travelling in California met friend
from the Eastern States and inquired
OF the latter what route he took in
reaching California. asking him whether
he came by certain well-known routes

negative. then asking whether he cam'
