The Work in Germany

O. G.

Thanks to our dear brethren in Truth, who bring us greetings from the branch churches when passing through this city on their travels. Thanks to them for their kindness, for the brotherly spirit they exhibit in proffering help and assistance in thought to the workers collecting around the Berlin Church. Thanks to them for telling us how the work in Germany is being observed. Thanks to the observers, who give us the assurance of the oneness of thought which governs all those working in Truth, and renders them a closely connected and formidable army of God's men.

Frequently have we been told here how much we require the active help from the branches in the home country, because the Germans, as a rule, are so conservative and, on that account, difficult to approach and slow to accept the truth.

My personal experience with Germans, among whom I have a large acquaintance, being myself one by birth, is, that the average business man is rather quick to see his advantage, quick to know a good thing when he sees it, and quick to take a good hold of it. Such methods have given to the German commerce the proud position of being second only to the English. I don't think I should call such men conservative.
