the Lutheran pushed for his bold release of the surviving, - an act which since today's "legal faith" arbitrarily again a festival, impurity, which is to be founded on this very Amrucher Luther. It seems that it has not much in itself of his spirit. And the old honorary name of the "protestants" finds little more justification, the Protestants must protest the very first against themselves. Much more suited to them today was the name, which a certain direction of the Hessian Church, which has remained in an over-perpetuating attitude, has settled, the "renitenkens", and it is difficult not to think in this reluctance of the whole sticky sturgeon, even the bored, that the term can embrace in itself. However, this does not help us. It is not a matter of satisfying the needs of less world-distant self-brothers, but rather of demanding the great masses of people for religious guidance and inspiration, which cries hungry for breastfeeding and seeks them in superstition if it does not find the right way to faith and faith in it. With concern, then, those who see in the religious bond of the simple human being a necessity for life and the most excellent means of keeping the community within reasonable limits and to awaken the noble one as far as possible, to the state and direction of our Protestant churches. For them, victory of a close arrogance would mean demise, sinking to the impotence of sects.

(The books of this publishing house maintain a quiet, somewhat important spread that does not always correspond entirely to the real content of the works presented, with full recognition of all their merits, of which no less is their only fabulous and still proportionate comfort. In the case of the Dörriesian book, however, one can recognize the achievement without further limitation, and also what the publisher sends forward to the characteristic of the work is quite good at the core of the matter.) It is extremely depressing to look at what has already been written and philosophized about religion, the "worlds of religion" and about every religious concept in particular. The less one has a thing, the more it is spoken of. And how much dead, withered in all this effort, which often seems to be more determined and apprehensible for hair-split logicians, shapely legal experts, and sharp-minded Rabblisites than for a longing for peace and a warm beating human heart. The man of the race born to be comfortable in the earthly existence, who knows how to send himself so exquisitely into the common menfsträben and in it so much more external, of
