NOTES OF THE DAY
THIS FREEDOM
The plight of thỏ no-called rebel pystors in Saxony is pitiful. It in ote of the tragedies of our Limes that politient unrest breeds perso- cution of other folk than politicians. It is the
Ambition of Germany's new leaders to weld their country Into a unified whole: to point the rond in religion, ns in other mat- tors. We believe they are mis- golded. It is not sound paychology to attempt to force people to alter their convictions with respect to religions things. It creates un undying antagonism. France lost such through the persecution of the Huguenots. Louis Quatorze never made a greator mistake than when he deprived the Huguenots of their rights and drove them from the country. The Joss was Incalenlable. And so in Germinay. By this coercion in matters of re- ligion the Nazi leaders are defent- ing their own ends. They are driving away from the state the very type of patriot that makes it strong, the man who cherishes his freedoms of thought unil action, and who believes that in the matter of morals and metaphysics he is ans- werable only to his own conscience. The Saxous pastors who have been seized, shorn and clothed in prison Karments, and been bauished to prison camps, will not change their views. They might as well be asked to change the colour of their skins. This is a new sort of inquisition; not only mediaeval, bast immoral. The Nazis in their pursuit of power, of a state one and Indivisible, have forgotten the principles for which Luther fought. They think too much of Bismarck. There are other things than blood and iron necessary to the success- fut welding of a nation.
