“We teachers can instruct our children in religion free from all confessions,” writes a German school teacher, of Dresden, in a letter to the Rev Fred Sanderson, of Granity, with whom he corresponds. “You may believe me that neither myself, nor my family, nor my children at school are heathens, therefore, or shall or will become it. I respect full and entire every true religious conviction which is founded on real religiousness.” These statements follow an earlier statement in the letter that Germany is “declining the political church full and entire.”
