 It is the aim of most religious movements to look forward rather than back. but if there is anything in the story which has been drifting round the French papers (and it has even reach ed the graver organs our own side of the Channel) it is the present distinction of Germany
 to be swinging in the very opposite direction. The French tale says that Field Marshal Luden dorf after long consideration, has decided that the Protestant faith will not quite do, and thai he has therefore renounced it. Has he then, re nounced it for Roman Catholicism Christian Science, Theosophy, Spiritualism, or any other lof it's more commonly discussed rivals? By no lmeans-according to the French story his case IS
 far more enterprsing, for he has gone back to the authentic German cult of Odin worship, inn peled in that primitive direction by the sinister influence of Mme Field Marshal Ludendorf Thus might Lord Haig suddenly become Druid or the lunhappy eclipsed Pangalos decide that Zeus was the only acceptable center of belief. It is back to Methuselah with nce-considerably beyond Methuselah if it were possible to draw up
 any reliable list of parallel dates in such a mat ter Still, Odin is quite an attractive basis TOT operations on behalf of new cult. He has rela- tons in most of the remaining royal families of Europe, which in older days frequently claimed him as an ancestor when they drew up their genealogical trees and every Wednesday the mers English are forced to bear him in mind as tho Woden whose name was lent to that day. The French avoid that difficulty by deriving their Mercredi from the Mercury of the Latin mythol- ogy but even the French cannot reasonably es- cape some slight feeling of pride in Ludendorfs choice since Charlemagne himself was distant
