THE AMAZING KAISER.

Amongst “Passing Notes” in the Otago Daily Times appears the following ; —The amazing Kaiser, irrep.essible, inexhaustible, rushing East,] rushing West, Hitting from camp to camp, still takes the pulpit , any accessible pulpit that he chances on by the way. From his latest reported sermon here is an extract: —We should| trust firmly in our great allies up above, who will help our just cause to victory. We know from childhood, and in our study ol history when grown up we have learned, that God is only on the side of believing armies. Thus it was under the Great Elector, and under old 1' ritz, and in the time of my great-grandfather and grandfather, and so it is now under me. As a great Scotsman, and as my friend Luther declared. “A man with God is always in the majority.” The “great Scotsman” is understood to be John Knox; “my friend Luther” will be Martin of that ilk. The Kaiser’s catholicity might have taken in also “my friend Mahomet” if there had been an audience to suit. As the Round Table, March number, reminds us, the Kaiser was once at Damascus, where “he proclaimed himself the protector not only of Turkey but of the whole Mohammedan world—a curious indication of the general trend of his ideas when it is remembered that hej had not a single Moslem subject and that the immense majority of the Mo. hanunedan peoples were citizens of the British and French Empires.” In Turkov, the Kaiser is Hadji Guillioun, his Islamic Majesty, a descendant of the Prophet. Also he is Christian monarch who commanded that the school children of Germany he given l a holiday that they might rejoice at the cruel murder of some fifteen hundred peaceful people when the Lusitania was ruthlessly torpedoed.
