The Rev. Ernest Trice Thompson, D.D.,D. Litt., reviews the religious situation in Germany in the current number of the weekly, Presbyterian of the South, published here. He says:
“All the Neo-pagan groups in Germany have been united in a central body. The new organization, which calls itself the German Faith Movement, elected Professor Hauer of Tuebingen University as its leader, with dictatorial powers in discipline and faith.
“The new organization in its meeting places, will replace the Christian Cross by the ‘Golden Wheel of the Sun.’ All the members swear before a notary that they have no Negro or Jewish blood, do not belong to the masons or any other secret lodge, and are not members of any other religious body.”
