Excerpt from Christian Life in Germany: As Seen in the State and the Church The number of English speaking youth in the Universities and Technical Schools in Germany is increasing every year. It is interesting to know what kind of religious influences are within their reach even if in their student life they do not yield to these influences. Great Britain and America owe a debt of gratitude to Germany for the literature she has furnished their people, for the contributions she has made to Christian song, and for her devotion to higher Christian learning. In the attention given to the results of special studies, particularly to the results of the so called Higher Criticism, both countries are in danger of overlooking equally important contributions in practical Christian work. Few people either in Great Britain or in America realize the extent and importance of the Foreign Missionary work which the German Churches are carrying on, or of that still more wonderful home work which is embraced under the general term Inner Mission (dieinnere Mission). In the present work no attempt has been made to describe unchristian Germany. There is such a Germany. Some of its features are necessarily sketched in this volume. No special emphasis has been laid on the effect of critical studies on Christian faith and life. Not much has been said about the relation of Church and State.
