EX-KAISER EULOGISED PREACHER'S BLASPHEMY LONDON. Jan. 23. "A .heavily-buttered and, fatuously blasphemous eulogy" is the comment of the Weekly Dispatch upon, the sermon delivered u( Doom by I lie Court preacher. Dr. Voglai, >n commemoration of the. ex-Kaiser's 70th birthday. The text, which was supplied by the ex-Kaiser, was St. Paul's message to the Romans—"l am nnl ashamed of tho Gospel of Christ." Dr. Vog.'e.r said thai "a glimpse of the wide-open heart of the venerated and beloved- Kaiser, King and Lord" disclosed a similar joyous confession. The dazzling figure of the Imperial confessor wits an exponent of all the Christian and Germanic virtues and ideas, and therefore Cain rose up against him as he rose against- Abel, and as Caia.phas did against, Christ. "The man who had celebrated a quar-ter-century's jubilee of peace was made out to he a depised criminal, responsible for the war," said Dr. Voglcr, who deplored, the Germans' indifference to (he fate of the War Lord. He declares (hat Ihe history of Hie world does not depend on the masses.
