Progress Made During Reign; Worked for Union of Church

BY WILHELM HOHENZOLLERN Much has beea written and said about my relations with the Church. Even when I was still a Prince, and a student at Bonn, I realized the harm

ful influence of the Kulturkampf in its ! last phase. The religious rift did so much toward antagonism that once, for example, I was directly boycotted, while on a hunting expedition, by members of leading noble RhenishWestphalian families of the Rhineland belonging to the Ultra-Montane party. Even as far back as that I resolved, In the interests of the national welfare, to work toward creating a modus Vivendi Buch as would make it possible for people professing the two creeds to live peacefully with each other. The Kulturkampf, as such, had come to an end before the beginning of my reign. I strove patiently and earnestly to Pbe on good terms with the Bishops, 'and I was on very friendly terms with ! several, especially Cardinal Kopp, lArchbishop Simar, Dr. Schulte, PrincejBishop Bertram, Bishop Thiel, and, last but not least. Archbishop Faulthaber and Cardinal von Hartmann. All of these were men far above the av-

lerage and an ornament to the episcopate, who gave proof during the war

'or tneir patriotic aevouon to n,mperor

succeeded in clearing away the mists

I of the Kulturkampf -and enabling my

(Catholic subjects, like others, to re-

Thigh he was very weak, this ninety-thi.year-old man came up to me. holing both his hands outstretched.

j "Sword of Catholic Cfiurch"

It was of interest to ma that the

iPcpe said to me on this occasion that

, CORNS Lift Off with Fingers

Germany must become the sword of the Catholic church. I remartced that the old Roman Empire ot the German nation no longer existed and that con

ditions had changed. But he stuck to his words.

Then the Pope went on to say that

he must thank me once more for my

unflagging attention to the welfare of

my Catholic subjects; that he had heart about this from so many sources

that he was glad to tell me personally how grateful both he and the German Catholics were for this attention to

their interests; that he could assure

me that my Catholic subjects would stand by me, In good and bad times,

with absolute fidelity. "lis resteront

absolument et infailliblement fideles.'1

(They will remain absolutely and in

fallibly faithful.)

I rejoiced greatly at these words of

appreciation from such an exalted ' source. I answered that I considered

It the duty of a Christian sovereign to care for his subjects to the best of his ability, irrespective of creed; that I could assure him that, during my reign, everybody could profess his religion without interference and fulfill his duties toward his ecclesiastical overlord; that this was a fundamental principle of my life, from which I could not be swerved. Because I shewed my Catholic fellow countrymen from the very beginning that I wished to allovsthem complete freedom in the exercise of their religion, a quieter spirit was ' engendered in the laid and the aftermath cf the Kulturkampf disappeared more and more. But I did not conceal from myself the fact that, despite all politeness and friendliness, the prelates, with the sole exception ot Cardinal Kopp, still continued to look upon me as the Emperor, and I was compelled to takeinto account that, in the Catholic South and West, this idea

would never quite vanish. Grateful acknowledgement has repeatedly been made to me ot the fact that the Catholics were as well off, during my reign, as they could possibly desire; but the constantly more uncompromising attitude of the Church on mixed marriages, and that of the Centrist Party in politics, were certainly a sign that the anti-heretical tendency still lived beneath the peaceful surface. This made all the more intense my desire for the firm union of the Protestant Churches first, in Prussia, then in. Germany, finally in all Europe. My endeavors, in conjunction with the

Chief Ecclesiastical Councilor,

General Superintendent, and so on, to find means of effecting this union, were most earnest. I hailed the Eis enach Conference with joy and followed its proceedings with interest. I assembled all the General Superin tendents for the consecration of the Church at Jerusalem and also was able to greet invited deputations from Sweden, Norway, and so forth; and I did likewise on the occasion of the con secration of the Berlin Cathedra', where, among many other deputations, the Church of England was represented by the Bishop of Ripon (W. Boyd-Carpenter), the pastor of Queen Victoria of England, equally prominent as a writer and preacher. Whenever possible, I worked toward compromise, closer relations and union, yet nothing definite resulted. Though church union In Prussia ha" been a success, Lutherans and Reform

fists kept apart in other sections of

the Fatherland. Many local rulers kept sharp watch over their rights in relation to religions and owing to this, were hostile to a closer union of the different creeds within their territory Therefore, despite my endeavors, thr German Protestant Church was net able to unite and make common cau?e against the elements hostile to it Only through the emergency brought oa by the revolution was this made possible. On Ascension Day, 1922. to my great joy, the "German Evangelical

Church Union" was solemnly formed

at the Schloss church at Wittenberg. During the first years of my military service at Potsdam I had felt deeply the inadequacy of the sermons, which often dealt only with dry dogmatic matter and paid too little attention to the person of Christ. In Bonn I became acquainted with Dr. Dryander, who made an impression on me lasting throughout my Ufa His sermons were free from dogma, the person of Christ was their pivotal point, and "practical Christianity" was brought into the foreground. Later I brought him to Berlin and soon had him appointed to a post at the Cathedral and in my palace. Dryander was by my side for years, until long after the 9th ot November, standing close to me spiritually, and bringing to me spiritual consolation. We often talked on religious matters and thrashed out thoroughly the tasks and the future of the Protestant Church. The views of Dryander mild, yet powerful, clear and of truly evangelical strength made of him a pillar and an ornament of his church, and a faithful co-worker with the Emperor, to whom he was closely bound, in the interests of the Church and its development. Since the 9th of November, Dr. Dryander also has been exposed to persecutions, but he has stood his ground courageously; the hopes, beliefs and

Ein'feste Burg ist unser Gott. I cannot allow to pass without re

mark the influence exerted by the

work translated at my instigation of the English missionary Bernard Lucas, entitled "Conversations with Christ;" as well as the sermons on Jesus by Pastor Schneller (Jerusalem), and the collections of sermons called "The- Old God Still Lives" and "From Deep Trouble," by Consistorial

Councilor Conrad. These brought us much inspiration and comfort by their vital ability to absorb and hold readers and hearers. The fact that I could deal with religious and church questions with complete objectivity sine ira et studio is due to my excellent teacher, Professor Dr. Hinzpeter, a Westphalian Calvinist. He caused his pupil to grow

up and live with the Bible, eliminating, at the same time, all dogmatic and

polemical questions; owing to this.

polemics in religion have remained

alien to me, and expressions like that

autocratic ohe, "orthodox," are repul

sive to me. As to my own religious convictions. I set forth what they were

years ago, in a letter to my friend, Admiral Hollmann, made public at the time, part of which is reproduced at

the end ot this chapter.

I was enabled to bring joy to the hearts of my Catholic subjects when

I presented the plot of ground known

as the "Dormition. acquired by me

from the Sultan in 1S98 as a result of my sojourn in Jerusalem, to the German Catholics there. The worthy,

faithful Father Peter Schmitz, repre

sentative of the Catholic Society in

Jerusalem, expressed to me the heart

felt thanks of the German Catholics

on the spot in eloquent words at the

ceremony of taking possession.

The Church in Jerusalem

When I conferred with him as to future building operations and as to the selection of persons to occupy the

place, the old expert on Jerusalem ad

vised me to select none of the order of monks there, since all were more

or less mixed up in the intrigues and

quarrels concerning the loci sacn (sacred spots). After my return ;

delegation of he German Knights of

.Aiaita, under Count frasenma. ap-

peared before me to express their gratitude. The design for the church, made by a very talented Cologne architect and skillfully adapted to the local style, was submitted to me. After the completion of the church I decided that the Benedictine monks of Beuron should take over the "Dormition"; they did so in 1906, also taking over the monastery built next the new St Mary's Church. I wa3 on friendly terms for many years with the Benedictine monks of

the Beuron Congregation, with whose

Arch-Abbot, Wolter, I had become 'ac

quainted at Sigmarmgen. In mediaeval times the order always stood well with the German Emperors, of whom

scarcely one failed to visit, in connec

tion with his journeys to Rome, the

magnificently situated Monte Cassino. When the Benedictine monks asked permission to establish a settlement

on the Rhine I had the , splendid Romanesque abbey of Maria Laach

unused at the time turned over to them. The order, which counts among its members excellent artists.

including Father Desitlerius, has

brought new glory to the abbey, which had fallen into neglect ami decay, by magnificent Interior decorations. Often have I visited Maria. Laach and rejoiced in the progress of its restoration, as well as in conversations with the intelligent abbots and. in the hearty, Bimple reception on the part of the faithful brethren.

Minerals Are Needed With Soys for Hogs An announcement telling how to increase the rate and reluce the cost of gain on hogs on a homegrown feed wa made today at Purdue university. It was brought about through the feeding of a mineral mixture composed of 10 parts of wood ashes, 10 parts of acid phosphate and one part of common salt by weight with ground soy beans to supplement corn. This mixture when placed in a self-feeder for market hogs gave results slightly better than corn and tankage, which is accepted as the standard ration now by most Indiana farmers, as they can grow their own protein and will not have to pay the actual cash for this feed. "Previous experiments show that soy beans alone do not measure up with tankage, fish meal or buttermilk in supplementing the corn ration," said C. M. Vestal, who has charge of this experimental work. "The results of the new feeding trials indicate that the deficiency is in the mineral content of the corn and soy bean ration. Adding home-mixed minerals greatly in

creased the rate and economy of

gain and shows what Indiana farm' ers can do to cut their costs."

A number of different mineral

mixtures were used but none gave

the results equal to the wood ashes,

acid phosphate and salt. The aver

age daily gain made by hogs in this

lot was 1.85 pounds at a cost of $4.14 per hundred, figuring the corn

at 50 cents per bushel, soy beans at

$1.25 per bushel and the mineral at

two cents per pound. The second best mineral mixture consisted of 10 parts of pulverized limestone, 10 parts acid phosphate and one part of common salt by weight. The hogs receiving this

mixture with ground soy beans and corn made an average gain of 1.74 pounds at a cost of $4.09. The third best mineral mixture consisted of 15 parts wood ashes, five parts acid phosphate and one part-salt. The hogs in this lot made a daily gain of 1.64 pounds at a cost of $4.29. These tests have been under way more than a year and have been made with 16 lots of hogs. There were eight hogs in. each lot and they averaged 100 pounds at the beginning of the trial and were fed to a weight of 225. More experiments along the. same line are in progress.

Second Culling for Hens;

Pullets Need Sorting

Reports from all parts of the state indicate that -a majority of the farmers who are enrolled in the state-wide egg-iaying contest, conducted by Purduo university, culled their roultry flocks before Sept. 1 to weed out the non-producing hens. In many cases the second culling is as important as the first. According to L L. Jones, in charge of poultry extension work, about the last of September, and certainly not later than October, it is a good plan to count the pullets so that one may know how many to plan

for the winter. After the pullets

are counted figure definitely the number of hens that can be accommodated, then make the final culling of hens to meet . the requirements. When counting the pullets note

their development. Undersized,

slow-growing, immature pullets should either be sold at once or legbanded so that they will be sure to be sold later in the fall. From the egg production viewpoint it does not pay to keep over a lot of latehatched pullets, which have x no chance to make laying bens until next spring. A good poultryman culls his pullets as well as his hens.

GIVE THEM AIR For the man who is planning to build a poultry house thi3 fall, here are some good points relating to ventilation problems that are worth remembering: The Ohio station poultrymen say: "A thousand pounds of hens need 8,278 cubic feet of air a day, while 1,000 pounds of horse use only 3,401 cubic feet of air a day. Hens have to

L breathe at a furious pace to keen

up their high body temperature.

Use Leg Bands, the only follow up system for culled flocks. Omer G. Whelan.
