More than any other worker the Teuton is cooperative. As early as the mid-13th century the towns of Hamburg and Lübeck inaugurated enlightened co-operation which led to the famed Hanseatic League; and late in the 19th century, Germany gave to the world that ultimately co-operative enterprise, the proletarian loan bank. The gigantic post-War industrial Frankenstein erected by Herr Stinnes is conceivable among no other people.

The voters perk up their ears and open their eyes. Now they can see how this backroom worker of cigar stores and old saloons performs. He feeds their curiosity with garrulous anecdotes, he says little of economic significances...
...form of baptism. Carlyle B. Waynes, militant Seventh Day Adventist, stated his creed with eloquence, in Brooklyn last week: "Doctrinally, Seventh Day Adventists are among the strongest evangelical Christians-fundamentalists of the fundamentalists . . . . The historic faith of the church is our faith, Christ the divine One, Christ the miracle worker, Christ the sacrifice for sins, Christ dead, Christ risen, Christ ascended, Christ our present high priest, Christ our present life, and Christ coming again.
