thing of real value that the Kultur of man can produce.--PROF. W. SOMBART, H.U.H., p. 135. 31. We have in Germany the best Press in the world, and are in that respect superior to all other countries.--PROF. A.V. HARNACK, W.W.S.G., p. 19. 32. Germany's fight against the whole world is in reality the battle of the spirit against the whole world's infamy, falsehood, and devilish cunning.--"On the German God," by PASTOR W. LEHMANN, quoted in H.A.H., p. 81. 33. German patriotism strikes its deep roots into the fruitful soil of a heroic view of the world, and around its crown there gleam the rays of the highest spiritual and artistic culture.--PROF. W.
