append some of the more remarkable passages;
 Our people have gone to war under Gods leadership. In all his public manifests and announcements of vic tory our Kaiser has openly given God
 the glory. He has earnestly called
 on his people to build their confidence on God and to pray to Him in these serious times. God has not yet been withdrawn from the public life of l Germany.
 But it is good that we should reflect on what would happen should God withdraw His hand from us. Our King reigns by Divine Right and by the Grace of God. The consciousness of this gives him strength in time of storm. He is responsible to Him for all he does or leaves undone, to Him the 1ncorruptible Judge who is no res pecter of persons. It is this which keeps our King from frivolous decis- ions, and from naughty thoughts. It | is this which causes the loyal ones among us to gather round our Kings | throne. These true ones cannot change their political views as they change a coat. They cannot revise their monarchical views as they would a faulty manuscript. And even though in the name of the King they be ask ed to hack off their right hand, they would do it, and with the left they would take off their hat and shout, Long live the King!" All author l ity comes from God.
 Under the Divine Hand. God has led the German people by His hand until now. One may notice in proof of this how the insignificant Markgraf of Brandenburg became Prussia's King and then German Kali ser. You may notice how God has raised the people from poverty and | indulgence to riches and position He has raised them to a height among the nations of the earth which made
 our enemies' envy and hatred flame
 forth, and finally brought on the war 1 And if God should now withdraw
 His hand, should He leave US to the
 will of our enemies, should He take away our gifted Generals from us? What then? What if He permits the
 spirit of Encouragement to dominate the army? What if He permits a
 spirit of murmuring and strife to pen citrate the people? In that case the German nation would speedily sink, the German erapire would go down, just as the Roman Empire and it's peoples went .iown. As soon as the
 foundations begin to yield the proud
 palaces built on them topples to the
 ground.
 Where would the workers find re-
 munerative work if God withdrew His
 hand from us? Where would there remain a field for our artisans, tra-
 ders, and manufacturers? Our work
 ing classes, trade, industry, art, sci ence, have become great with the , growth of the German Empire. Should the empire fall, down comes everything in the fall. Look at Rus sia, and yiu will see what happens to 6 nation when God withdraws His 1 hand. The orations of blood dripping
 leaders about liberty and equality do
 not help. And when Gods hand is withdrawn the buttresses of justice
 and morality collapse A goddess gen.
 eration is also an immoral generation. : Israel murmurred against God, there fore He withdrew His hand from them, and all the men who had left
 Egypt were obliged to perish in the
 wilderness without beholding the
 Promised Land. We Germans have begun to murnur. Strikes and dis turbances are raising their heads. May
 God awaken the spirit of repentance
 in our people, high and low for the time is drawing to an end.
 To this next war; literature a mo- o table addition has been made by Dr. | Alfred Lauick, in a pamphlet entitled ' '"rhe German War Aims Which Mat ; ter" which has just been published II in Munich. Dr. Lauick first provides . the excuse for this ''next war"
 We may at once discount the whole U of the nauseating cant that is turned {. out in bucketfrls from the British II and American iie-nills about the if
 nality of this conflict
 I am convinced that no sooner vii
 the ink on the peace treaty be dry
 than the Anglo-Saxons will unite thefl t forces in secret for the prosecution O y an economic campaign against Ger u many that will be used as a forerun S ner of an even more terrible militar. ,a conspiracy against us than the presen n one is, the object still being, as be T. fore, our total destruction as an inde 10 pendent sovereign. state.
 ' It behooves i1S, therefore, before ", 't return our weapons to the ar1nory, t 70 brighten them mp and put them mt iu ~ condition for the next conflict whicl -1 will threaten us. in The New Programme. Id After the war Germany will be com e pelled to levy fresh taxes amountin n- to some 50,000.000 pounds a year Id and this terrifying fact will have t al be faced.
 ns It is equally essential that steps b
 taken forthwith to assure German of the supply of all the raw material c a which she is in need, and also to ope ,d up to German trade every market i 7e lthe world. including those of the en
