This charge was, of course, absurd. For a person of his very strong American sentiment, Dr. Holls was most active in seeking to impress the good characteristics of German thought and German civilization upon the social, and especially upon the religious, life of this country. In an address before Ger- man-American teachers, speaking of paro- chial schools in Columbus in 1858, he said : " We hear much of the so-called mission of the Germans in America. In my opinion, the first mission of the Ger...mans in this coun- try is to become Americans, and by that I mean that it is their duty, as well as their privilege, to enter deeply, heartily, and with all the fervor and steadfastness of Teutonic manhood into the current of American reli- gious, political, and social life. There is no room in this country for a German nation [27] Cbarles Tbolte besides the American nation, and, if there were, neither this country nor the Germans would be the gainers by the establishment of one. It is the greatest possible mistake, and one which I regret to say is often made in the fatherland, to think that by the emi- gration of so many of her sons Germany is weakened, and vast numbers are lost to Ger- man thought and feeling.
