Excerpt from Hurrah and Hallelujah: The Teaching of Germany's Poets, Prophets, Professors and Preachers a Documentation In the presence of this so obvious and so strik ing a phenomenon one is forced to enquire how it is that, with all our intimate fellowship with Ger many during these last thirty or forty years we have failed to note how widely German thinking, German ethic, and German practice were depart ing from the straight path of sincerity, righteous ness and humanity. This is indeed one of those psychological phenomena that only the event makes clear. It was our admiration, our esteem, our friendship that made us blind to this sinister departure. We could not because we would not see. And now this nemesis that has fallen upon herl - what more terrible and more sad can be imagined? The reading of these Sermons should bring to our hearts a solemn warning. Let us take heed to ourselves, for it were a fatuous folly to believe that we or any strong and prosperous people are safe from such a course of self-deception, and from its so dreadful penalty. It is to the humble in heart alone that God who is Life and Light Eternal reveals Himself. The proud He know eth afar off.
