ment Christianity. We are coming
to glow more and more with the
enthusiasm of those first Chris-

abound here in Germany that
many more men, among them,
Franz von Halder, may be led to
dedicate their lives to the cause
of New Testament Christianity

gospel of Christ /

Former Chief Of German Armies Would Freed-Hardeman
Hail ‘Restoration’ Of New Testament
Religion Instead Of Cold State Church
By DELMAR BUNN
Frank von Halder lives at the
edge of the little village of Konig-
stein, near Frankfurt. He makes
the impression of an average, ra-
ther educated, very industrious old
man, except that perhaps his fea-
tures and his voice are sharper; he
has somewhat more discipline in
his bearing, is always busy, and
his haircut is that of a short-
clipped Prussian general.
Von Halder is a religious man,
although he has little love for the
State churches of Germany. Von
Halder occupied the position in
Germany during and before the
war, corresponding to George Mar-
shall’s former position in the
United States. He was chief of the
German staff, commanding Ger-
man forces on all fronts.
He was a Nazi, was apparently

not guilty of particular war crimes
and is now a free man. Because
our school has located. in Konig-
stein for the past year, I have been
able to become personally' ac-
quainted With von Halder and talk
to him at length about Christian-
ity-
On many points we were in per-
fect agreement..He thinks, that the
main fault of German Christianity
(so-called) is that it has been sys-
tematized and'corrupted by theo-
logy and human thinking. "Who
ever heard of man’s making a
science of his relation to God,”
von Halder commented in his clip-
ped, almost metalic, military Ger-
man. “The church of the New Tes-
tament was not concerned with
hierarchical or human organiza-
tion,” he continued, "and where
de we read of clerics and laymen?”
I had the impression that Franz
von Halder wes genuine and deep
in his religious thinking, but that
he had been sickened early in life
with official religion and State
churches, and I wondered, even as
he spoke, if this man might not
have been a warrier lor righteous-
ness, a great soldier in the king-
dom, had he been embued as a
young man with the principles of
pure New Testament Christianity.
But just as 1 was thinking this
thought, the old General halted,
looked me squarely in the eye
and said thoughtfully; "Do you
know what we need in Germany?
We need a rekindling of the glow-
ing enthusiasm of Now Testament
Christianity. We need a restora-
tion.' As he said this, I took from
my pocket one of our German
tracts entitled, "Restoration,”
which describes how we must go
back to the Bible, leaving human
dobtrines and traditions, to re-
store the glorious church of our
Lord.
Before leaving, I invited the for-
mer Generalstabschef to accom-
pany me at any time to the ser-
vices of the church in Frankfurt.
I am hoping to gain his confidence
to the extent that he will do this
soon. Here he will not only hear
the truth preached, but he will
see men actively working in “the
restoration’’ of which h® «pnka
Especially important is it to
notice that this man Spoke of £
“Slowing enthusiasm” in connec-
tion with the restoration. He was
speaking from his Nazi back-
ground. He knows that in order
to really conquer and change men,

burning ... in Spirit” (Rom. 12:11).
Their enthusiasm reached down
Into the very depths of their being,
changing, transforming the whole
•nan. This is the spirit which pre-
vailed among the first Christians,
who ’•were together, and had all
things in common ... continued
steadfastly with one accord .. .took
their food with.gladness told sin-'
gleness of heart'... praised God
and had favor with all the people.”
This lasting and genuine enthu-
siasm has never since been repro-
duced by a corrupted or state
church.
It is possible that the churches
of Christ everywhere are working
more zealously and effectively
than at any time since the first
and second centuries after Christ.
The congregation at Morrilton,
Ark’, is sponsoring me in a meet-
ing at Trenton, New Jersey. There
has been one baptism thus far.
The renewed association with
Brother and Sister Ralph Graham
is very pleasant. They are doing
a good work here. The congrega-
tion gives every evidence of spiri-
tual instruction, development and
training.
I shall begin work with the
West Douglas congregation In
Wichita, Kans., the first of Novem-
ber. We are looking forward to
this pleasant assocation with anti-
cipation.
