THE PAGANS
IF we are relying upon or- ganised Christianity in Germany to rally to our banner of spiritual liberation, when Hitler begins to fall, we may be sadly disappointed. So says the writer of a letter who can recall the time when Germany led the world in theological study.
Up till the latter part of last century it was customary for British divinity students to take a year in the theological schools of Germany.That has gone." With a few exceptions In Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches there is an almost total bank- ruptcy in spiritual loadership.
The decay of religious belief in Germany was coincident with the rise of its military power. A British newspaper correspon- dent, resident in Germany when Bismarck was nearing the peak of his glory, wrote that the vaat majority of the Protestant middle classes, and oven a large

It is often said and written that the British Empire now fights alone.

Yet one does not say of d footlyadé ball team that it plays alone: The British Commonwealth is itself an alliance.. In its fight ing ranks aro Ave fully self- governing nations, each of which chose to fight, and chooses to on fighting, for its own reasona -its own security, its own ideals, its own freedom.
Among these five are nationa in Europe, in America, in Africa and in the South Pacific. What' better proof could there be that the Allied cause is a world-wide- cause: Canada is in the war for North American reasons, the Union for African reasons, Australia and New Zealand for Pacific reasons, yet all for the same reason; that the good life as free mon know it is in danger, and that for the goal of a pro- gressive human brotherhood the Nazis would substitute an iron domination in the interests of their own elect
Great Brotherhood
Of the not yet fully self-gov erning peoples of the Britiab Commonwealth we may say the same.. If in law they are bound to the war of the whole Com- monwealth, in spirit they are. free to cheer or reject it, By every act and utterance they have shown that they, too, are eager allies.
