The Instrument designed to accomplish the subjection of the Evangelical Church was the sect known as the "German Christians."

TWIN. EVILS.
At a moment when there are widespread apprehensions of war and when political freedom is being placed in jeopardy by dictatorships, the British Labour Party is joining hands with other bodies in a great cam- paign aimed at the taking of con- structive measures for the pre- servation of peace and the pro- tection of popular rights. The movement is one likely to attract people of varying political be- liefs who wish that the world be spared from the unparalleled disasters that another world war would bring in its train. The peoples of the world stand to day, 28 rarely before, at the cross-roads of fate. The triumphs of science have opened before them the prospect of wealth, happiness and progress which earlier generations would have thought to be a dream. If they could only work together, not for individual or merely national advantage, but for the common good, in a brief span of time they could make this dream come true. War can be ended, poverty can be abolished, the golden rule of fellowship and co- Operation can be made the firm foundation of the "great. com- munity of mankind." Unhappily, to-day not only the hopes of progress and happiness to come, but the very framework of civilisation is being undermined,
ANTI-CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE
ar
As for the "Aryan paragraph." if "blood," or race, and not faith and Holy Baptism were made the test of the Christian religion, if the Old Testament were rejected be cause it was "a collection of Jewish legends," then the very foundations of Christianity would be destroyed. "It would be better." wrote Karl Barth, "that the Church should be reduced to the smallest bandful or that it should go into the catacombs than that it should conclude even a distant peace with such a doctrine." The meetings and demonstrations of the German Christaders. especially Bishop Mueller and his supporter, Hossenfelder, were do- minated by Nazi doctrine and ritual. The Hitlerite symbol, the swastika, was made to rank beside the Cross of Christ. "No symbol of this world," retorted Pastor Vogel, of Luckenwalde in his "Gh Theses," "has any right or room by the side of the Cross-all the symbols of this world are under the Cross." Barth and Vogel are not alone. They have the support of other theologians, of thousands of pastors, and of a multitude of
