PASTOR NOTED
, _ Five years ago, a black-gowned * pastor ascended the pulpit in a
“thurch at Dahlem, a fashionable|
‘suburb in Berlin, to deliver a ser[mon against Nazi tyranny. “ Three days later, July 1, 1937, he was arrested and has since been ‘ from one concentration ‘ camp to” another. ! man was Martin Niemoeller, #iLutheran pastor who served 4s a e commander during the first world war. In his early fifties, Rev, Niemoeller on that last Sunday
morning of June, 1937, recounted
yo Se
the various violations of the freedom of the church that had oc‘curred. With these incidents as a background, he spoke from the text: “We must obey God rather than
' man!”
Clery Issues Statement
"In commemoration of the completion of Pastor Niemoeller’s five years’ if imprisonment, five Indi-
_anapolis clergymen have issued the
following statements: PR. GEORGE WALKER BUCK-
. NER JR., editor of the World Call— “The question which Martin Niemoeller antl his associates have faced is not one which is of concern Germany alone. The clash between church and state, while more
i scute in land controlled by totali-
yr
o
b
farian government, covers the face of the whole earth, “The issue centers largely in the question of witnessing for truth and against all injustice even when the
authority and prestige of the state
are involved. , , . Will the church of our day . .. listen only for the
. voice of God, and will it teach its
people to obey God rather than man?”
oe Cites Nazi Danger
. DR, H. .-E. TURNEY, president, Indiana synod, United Lutheran Church. in America—"“It is inevitable that if the Nazis gain a victory over the liberty born and liberty loving peoples of the democracies, we will be faced with either absolute surrender of all that we hold ‘as of true personal worth or suffer the most bitter persecution.” ' DR. F. MARION SMITH, minister, Central Avenue Methodist church—The whole religious world should be humbly grateful for the five-year Christian martyrdom of ‘Pastor Niemoeller of Germany. The ‘light of his faith and courage shines in the darkness of our days. ‘He ‘ will be remembered while Hitler will ‘be forgotten as a nightmare in the ‘world’s memory. We pray for the continuing victory ‘of Niemoeller’s 8pirit in his own life and in the lives of all men.
B Lauds True Spirit
£. RT. REV. RICHARD A. KIRCHHOFFER, bishop, Episcopal diocese of Indianapolis—“Hitler can make eat bonfires of books, as he did , 1933, but fire cannot destroy ideas. He can kill and imprison - the bodies of men but not their t... . .”
" RABBI MAURICE GOLDBLATT, Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation ~—“Since 1937 , . . since the im- | prsonmen of Pastor Niemoeller ‘and many other ministers, priests and rabbis and the closing of churches and the burning of synagogues, the Nazi pattern of com‘plete elimination of all true religion has been clear for all to see. “But: in spite of the assault upon the Christian-Jewish tradition as a celvilizing influence and as the last barrier to totalitarian dictatorship, all Jews look with faith to the future, confident in their hope in the ‘ultimate victory of light over darkVines and justice over evil.”
