raH.
The following sermon wu preaohad in St.
Thomas' Church, Strasburg, September i0,
b'f Etnil From m el, chaplain in tha army, be
fore the Pmssian and Jladen division wbioh
had aided in tha taking of the city. It was
girea to the press, by permission of the
General oommanding the besieging army, and
Subsequently printed in the periodical
Dahevm:
1 Samuel Til, 1?: "Then Samuel took a stone
and sel It between Mlzpeh and Shun, and called the
aorae of it Ebene.er, saying, Hltherta bath the Lord
lped ua."
While we still stood outside of this be
sieged oity, upon the ground whioh had wit
nessed our toils and oar conflicts, we did not
forget, dear friends and companions-in-arms,
to g'nre to God the glory of onr suocesses.
And now that we hare ente red within the
walls, it is fitting that onr steps should turn
first of all to this time-honored ohuroh of
God, and utter the joyful song, "Glory be to
God on high." Yet it is not the plaoe, bat
the spirit of deep and earnest thankfulness,
whioh gives value to oar service. While we
remain in the city it becomes as continually
to saf to one another, "Come, let as fall
down and worship the Lord;" and when all
the labor and the suffering of the past weeks
are forgotten, our hearts must still tarn to
the monumental stone set up as of old, and
insonbed with the grateful words, "Hitherto
hath the Lord helped us."
This inscription looks to the past, the pre
sent, and the future. It speaks joyful grati
tude for the past,' humility in the present,
hope and admonition for the future.
Lord, open Thou my lips, that I may speak
to Thy glory, and touch the hearts of this
people, that they may hear aright; and let us
ail leave Thy house blessed and strengthened
for Thy service 1 Amen.
First. "Wtherto." With what deep emo
tion do we use that word ! When we entered
upon this war, with all confidence in our God,
in the justice of our oause, in the wisdom of
our leaders, and the bravery of our armies,
our hearts were. still full of trembling anx
iety. With tears in his eyes had our dear
old King taken his sword and called his peo
ple to his Bide; we were prepared not only for
battle, but for possible defeat at first. And
now, what has happened since those July
days t A "hitherto, and no further," has our
Iiord spoken to the proud waves that rose up
against us, and they have been stayed and
the Lord ef hosts, the keeper of Israel, who
neither slumbers nor Bleeps, has Himself kept
the "watch on the llhine," that no hostile
foot should tread its shores. Bat to us this
word "hitherto" has yet another meaning.
We can go back to Weissenburg and
Woerth, from them to Metz and Sedan, and
to the gates of Paris, and with gratitude say
that every battle was a victory adding monu
ment to monument in acknowledgment of
what God has done "hitherto." To-day we
some to add another to this glorious list.
Hut we all feel that to-day our "hitherto" has
a new ring. The name of Strasburg strikes
a ohord in the heart of a German whioh
vibrates to no other city's name. At that
sound his eye fashes, his cheek burns. In
their songs and their dreams of the past and
future glory of their country, this city has
long; been the synonym for sorrow and long
ing desire. In our own day, when it is nearly
two hundred years since the city was lost to
ns through weakness, if not through treaohery
and falsehood, in the midst of profoundest
peace taken when Germany lay a bleeding
mother, unable to protect her child to us its
grand cathedral has ever raised itself aloft
before our eyos a monument of our disgraoe.
lint he who would rightly understand the
lesson here taught, must see and hear more
than this.
An appeal is here made to all Germans
to unite, in order to gain by union what
was lost by discord; for not as we lost
it have we regained this city. Gnly after
bloody conflict and brave resistance (for this
testimony we owe to onr adversaries) has it
beooma ours. We may well consider it the
most hardly-won, if also the most valuable,
oonquest of the war. But we have fought
for it as a untied people. Therefore we say,
' Hitherto hath the Lord helped us," with a
special significance in the little word "u."
Is it accident or Providence, that this war
has brought together before this city sol
diersrfrom the extreme north and the distant
south, from Konigsberg and from Constance?
That, in sight of this purely German
eity, a comradeship should be seen
such as no German eye for centuries has be
held? Ah yes, it is surely evidenoe that the
winter of disoord is over, and spring has
come again to our dear fatherland. Beloved !
It has been said of the cathedral in this city
that it has been so compactly built that a
shook at the lowest depth of its foundation
would cause the crown at the highest point
to tremble, and Hie whole building to quiver
with the blow. So it is now with our German
fatherland. A common danger has so united
our several parts, that the blow struck at the
crown has been felt throughout the whole
great edifioe. Because we have as one peoplo
fought for this city, that through united
effort it is ours, we do most gratefully
acknowledge "hitherto hath the Lord holped
ns."
Second. But to whom do we owe our thanks?
My brethren, I know and appreciate your
labors and your courage. I have been a wit
ness of it all. I know what head and hand
has had to do here. The enemy must also
bear testimony te this. It has been a self
denying work; for it is one thing to fight a
decLiive battle in the course of a few hours,
in ai open field, man against man, eye to
eye, and a very differant thing to lie for long
weeks before a city, seeing no enemy, and
liable to be struck down by an unseen hand
at any moment. As the Scripture saith,
4 'A patient man is better than a strong
oue, and he mat ruietu ma
own spirit than he that taietn a city." In this
also, beloved, can we say ''hitherto hath the
Lord ho!pd ns." Ah, when suddenly, in the
midst of the terrifio cannonading, the white
dag was ten to wave from tke Cathedral,
when our soldiers mounted the ramparts and
grasped the hands of their adversaries, there
came over ine (and I donbt not over many
thouiacdrf withiu and without the city) the
overwhelming feeling that thU was not the
work of uwu, bat of Hiw ho turns the
hearts of wen like tbe water-brooks. Tb.it
has been the burden of our songs thi has
brought ns here tw-day. ''Tha Lord has
helped us." It is also the feeling of our be
loved King. With every annoanoeinent of
viotoiy, he bids us give to do J the praise.
Lot us bow onrbolvt in view of the great
niercy of Liod. A tree beudt, not only
when the btorai .ways and bhattera
its blanches, but also under tke weight of
b!eaiug which it bears. The more heavily
luaded with rich fruit, the lower it bos its
head. So let ns do. Uolovtl, we are in a
l.n l Loe lrtonle have not fallen only be-
. n-n we Lav conquered, but because they
have not the things that ll(nvl to their
ti,aua UMJ torgot that it u lot true
that "Qod resistetb the proud." Only when
a people humbles itself, will God lift it up.
From the flames of the burning city you saw
the lofty towers of the cathedral pointing
heavenward; let the sight lead you to give to
the Lord the glory due to him. Alas, if our
Prussian, our German people onoe begin to
forget what they owe to God, their end will
be not far off. Kemember our fathers, who
once for seven long years bore an iron cross
upon their backs before it became a cross of
honor on their breasts ! Let us bow down,
therefore, and entreat forgiveness for all we
have here done or failed to do. We know
full well that the brightest and bravest sword
may gather rust. May God here cleanse and
purify both hand and sword I
Third. "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us."
Here is confidence and courage for the future.
God must help where man is helpless, where
the Lord alone has power to help. I cannot
but think with saduess of those who have
fallen before this city of the lives so full of
hope and love whioh have here gone out.
How many of our comrades have here olosed
their eyes upon the world, far from their
homes and their loved ones, without the
comfort of their presenoe in their
last honrs, djing a noble death
for their King and their Fatherland! Alas!
how much noble blood has flowed in this
war, and before this city, causing sorrow and
loneliness in many a home! Who can send
oonsolation there? Who, if not lie who once
said to the widow, "weep not?" He who
alone can bind up the wounded heart with
His own sweet peace? All honor to the me
mory of onr dead peace to their souls om
fort to their sorrowing survivors! The Lord
has helped us, and He will help us, that we
may help others. There are manv to com-
lore, mere is mucn yet to
spirit of self-sacrifice
be endared. The
in our people,
to the lowest,
from the highest
must touch every
heart. 1 say
from tbe highest to the lowest. Our beloved
Queen, whose birthday we celebrate to-day
to her belongs of right the first plaoe. It
has always been to the honor of the House of
Hohenzollern that it has shared the joys
and sorrows of the people, and borne its part
in their sacrifices for their country. In com
mon with other women of the land, our
Queen has sent her husband and her only
son to the war, while she herself has minis
tered to the sick and wounded with tender
est care. Without flattery we may say that
the words of our Lord may be truly aoulied
to her, "She hath done what she could."
God bless her always with all spiritual and
temporal blessings, and may He be the light
and joy of her life down to its evening, and
into the night "when no man can work!"
We all have a sacred obligation to give help
to others where we can. You have here in
this city much to do. Soften where you can
the affliction that has come upon this oity,
by your gentle bearing, and show that mag
nanimity lowaras a conquered ioe is ona oi
greatest ornaments of a true soldier. Prove
yourselves by your behavior to be worthy of
the name of German, and show what an
honor it is to bear it. We have looked with
sadness upon the destruction wrought in this
city. Germany owes it to herself to heal the
wounds whioh war has inflicted. Strasburg
has opened its gates to us let us open to it
onr hearts and hands, that from its ruins a
new city may arise, and that it may know
that God has thonghts of peaoe, and not of
further woe, towards it. So may our memorial-stone,
"Hitherto hath the Lord helped
us," be turned for them into a Peniel,
whereon is written, "I have seen the Lord
face to face, and my life is preserved," and
may a generation arise which shall revive the
piety and fidelity to honor of their fore
fathers. And may the Lord, who ruietu the nations,
and givetn victory or defeat, give to us in
this new conquest a pledge that He will soon
bring about a lasting and honorable peaoe;
that our German Fatherland may be, as it
is written over one of the gates of this oity,
"Against foes a defense, to friends a protec
tion." We have come forth from this war
with the Kjrie Eleison, "Out of the depths I
cry to Thee." May we soon return to our
homes, and not only we but our whole peo
ple sing our Gloria in exoelsis! Praise the
Lord! God grant it! Amen.
