Of specific religious faith. They are
manifestos Of freedom. While they
complain In detail. naming names and
citing instances of oficial attempts TO
wean away the people from the prac~
tice Of religion through the church,
they also attack In principle q basic
tenet of the Nazi state. Robustly
and audaciously they deny the SOW
ereignty of the state over all depart
ments Of life. They demand q limi-
tation Of the authority Of govern
ment. And the limitation of political
authority Is the first and the eternal
demand Of liberty. They do not speak
as the guardians Of mems bodies or
minds; they do not speak as the shep-
herds of science or Of art. They
speak as the guardians Of mems souls.
And they deny the authority Of any
mundane power over the soul Of man.
Man was born to serve God. There is
one God, and Adolph Hitler is not His
son, is the whole sense and meaning
Of the document. And they must
know that freedom of conscience is
the basis Of all freedom. as it was the
basis Of Martin Luther's faith.
Reveal True Conditions.
The documents perform another
service. Accepting full responsibility,
they reveal conditions in Germany,
the publication Of which might be
interpreted as treason. :
Things have come to such q
state with the German people that
the honor Of citizens is dragged
through the mud because they are
Christians - those who are re-
solved to cling to the gospel are
jeered and Knocked because of their
faith - the truth Of the gospel
is attacked publicly. even by lead
ing men of the State. In the
country of Martin Luther. evangeli-
cal Christians are prevented from
bearing witness to the gospel in
public meetings.
&c The continual spying upon
church activities must cease. The
bans on church meetings in public
places must be lifted. The fetters
which bind the church press and
Christian charity must be loosed.
This we demand in the name Of the
living God from all who are in
office in. Germany"
Already this group Of churchmen,
and many of the priests and higher
officials Of the Roman Catholic
Church have defied government or
ders to extend the oficial anti-Semi-
tism into the church. THE commu-
nifty of the church Is not a commu-
nifty Of race, it is community of
the Holy Spirit" said Cardinal Faul-
haber. Thereby he testified to the
noble principle of human unity.
The manifesto of the Protestant
pastors will cause Christians all over
the world again to consider what are
the principles Of the faith to which
they SO often give the merest lip serv-
ice. And among all who love freedom
it will recall the words Of Pericles:
