Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Answer to the Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis Sermon Recently Delivered From the Old Brooklyn Tabernacle This Englishism may be a new "ism" even to the thinking mind of Dr. Hillis. I do not propose to deal in generalities, nor take allopathic extracts from theories long ago discarded by the actual practices of national governments. I propose to deal with specific facts supported by indubitable evidence, and institute a thorough impartial comparison between the three "isms," and as to the first two in their relation to and responsibility for the present war. Let us first approach without fear and trembling, and analyze in the light of reason and without the subjective prejudice resulting from the English subsidized American Press, the full meaning of Militarism. As our marcescent martial souls have not yet been able to understand that this word is applicable to any nation in its governmental policy excepting Germany, we will take German Militarism. Dr. Hillis in his premise on the subject reminds me very much of the woman I once knew who kept her children under fair discipline by constantly telling them the "Bogy" man would get them if they did not obey, and to support her deception she kept a manufactured "bogy" man under her bed - an old fashioned bed having a curtain around the entire bottom. Occasionally in the dark she would draw forth this "bogy" man and expose it from an advantageous point of view to the children and frighten them almost out of their senses. In reading Dr. Hillis´ one-sided expose of German Militarism I could not help thinking of this mother. This "bogy" man of German Militarism thrust upon the American mind by the English bureaucratic Press has become such a bugaboo that it has undoubtedly found a firm place under Dr. Hillis´ bed, and if we are to judge from our newspapers, under the beds of about three-fourths of our country´s population. What Is Militarism? Let us try intelligently and without bias to analyze it and so give ourselves a correct definition of it. It is a policy of national defense, based upon the necessities arising from the situation and environment of a nation.
