To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And, he added, he could say more than that, and he commissioned him to tell me that the one land in Europe where order and discipline ruled, where respect for the authorities, devotion to the Church, prevailed, and where every Catholic was free to live 1 The Kaiser here refers, of course, to the Protestant and Cath- olic faiths. Ed. 67 THE KAISER'S SPEECHES according to the tenets of his faith, was the German Empire, and for that he had to thank the German Em- peror. " That, gentlemen, gives me... the right to say that our two faiths, Catholic and Protestant, must keep the one common aim in view: to fortify and foster the fear of God and the veneration for religion. . . . Whoever does not put his life on the broad rock of religion is lost. . .. " The speech, recent as it was, must be taken as a sort of programme which the Kaiser means to follow more or less consistently, and it cannot be interpreted any other way than revealing a species of pact and general understanding concluded between him and the Pope, so far, at least, as the difference in creed allows that.
