A GIGANTIC LIE
THE STARS LOOK DOWN.’"”
“There is a spiritual firmament, and in it are lights more eternal than the sun and stars. These lights of the spiritual heavens do not change; they are not shaken by the brief and gusty passions of men. There abides the light of truth. What is not based on truth cannot stand. We are standing against a system which is based on one gigantic lie, that of
the natural superiority of the socalled German race and its alleged inherent right to dominate others . . . In this war we may truly assert that we are for justice against a system which makes perfidy a policy, which destroys all law and right not only between nations but for individuals . . We are opposed to a system of government which has hardened its heart on principle, which lives by secret police, secret tortures and concentration camps. Our truest prayer today will be that the people of this realm may be instruments worthy to further God’s purpose for the world.” —Dr Matthews, Dean of St. Paul's.
