nd despicable.--K. ENGELBRECHT, D.D.D.K., p. 53. 24. We must develop, not into "Europeans,'" but into ever higher Germans.... What sort of a European would be formed by a mixture of the heroic German with the calculating Englishman? If the result was a man who thought half calculatingly and half heroically, it would be an exaltation for the Englishman, but a degradation for the German.--O.A.H. SCHMITZ, D.W.D., p. 125. 25. If we come victorious out of this war, we shall be the first people on the earth, a rich stream of gold will pour over our land, and this greatness, these riches, may be a blessing to us if we always remember that true greatness, true riches, lie only in the possession of _moral_ advantages, and that to the fact of our possessing such advantages we owe our success.--W. HELM, W.W.S.M., p. 33. 26. Do you not see, Albion, that the German Michel,[8] on whom you looked down with such contempt, is now transformed into the Archangel Michael, and, encountering you with his flaming sword, triumphs over the race of the fallen angels and all the offspring of hell.--F.

SCHMID, D.R.S.Z., No. 25, p. 21. 29. Germany is precisely--who would venture to deny it--the representative of the highest morality, of the purest humanity, of the most chastened Christianity. He, therefore, who fights for its maintenance, its victory, fights for the highest blessings of humanity itself, and for human progress. Its defeat, its decline, would mean a falling back to the worst barbarism.--"War Sermons," by PASTOR H. FRANCKE, quoted in H.A.H., p. 68. 30. No nation in the world can give us anything worth mentioning in the field of science or technology, art or literature, which we would have any trouble in doing without.
