Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A German Hero of the Colonial Times of Pennsylvania: Or the Life and Times of Henry Antes But Clio comes to warn us from such a con elusion, and points to us the weather stained, mouldy and faded fragments of the days gone by, and out of these we learn what perils, trials and sufferings, what poverty and need, beset our forefathers as they laid the foundations of the prosperity which we now enjoy. In this volume we may see what life was in Phil adelphia and the surrounding country a hundred and fifty years ago.

Bishop Spangenberg and Weigner were selected for Skippack; John Bechtel and John A. Gruber, for Germantown, and Henry Antes, Andrew Frey and George Stiefel for Frederick. These conferences continued until 1740. It was during this period of earnest religious work that death entered into Antes' household, and took on June 6th, 1739, their nine-month's-old baby Jacob. The first grave they made in the wilderness was that of their youngest. During this same period, in 1738, when the influence of Spangenberg was arousing all the ardor of these religious people, Gruber issued an address in which he suggested a union of the various sects among the Germans of Pennsylvania. One writer described that time as being "a complete Babel of sects." As there were between thirty and forty thousand Germans in the colony, and immigration was continuing multitudinously, the desire for union was in the truest sense devout and patriotic. This idea took firm possession of Antes' mind, and became the aim of his life. Rev. John Bechtel afterward wrote of this period "The Sainted Brother Antes, Stiefel, Adam Gruber, myself and others from Germantown, enjoyed many blessed hours together." And who can doubt but that much of their enjoyment came from the exquisite delight in this aim, an aim which to-day urges the greatest of the world's Evangelists on in their work, and has caused the production of a blessed literature from the pens oi such men as Dwight Moody, Bishop Coxe, Washington Gladden, A. J. Gordon and others. But oi all those who in that early day aimed at this noble unity, Henry Antes was the most ardent, consistent and persistent, and when failure came down upon it with its mountain bulk and weight of prejudice, Antes felt that there was...

Download or read book Learning from the Germans written by Susan Neiman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an increasingly polarized America fights over the legacy of racism, Susan Neiman, author of the contemporary philosophical classic Evil in Modern Thought, asks what we can learn from the Germans about confronting the evils of the past In the wake of white nationalist attacks, the ongoing debate over reparations, and the controversy surrounding Confederate monuments and the contested memories they evoke, Susan Neiman’s Learning from the Germans delivers an urgently needed perspective on how a country can come to terms with its historical wrongdoings. Neiman is a white woman who came of age in the civil rights–era South and a Jewish woman who has spent much of her adult life in Berlin. Working from this unique perspective, she combines philosophical reflection, personal stories, and interviews with both Americans and Germans who are grappling with the evils of their own national histories. Through discussions with Germans, including Jan Philipp Reemtsma, who created the breakthrough Crimes of the Wehrmacht exhibit, and Friedrich Schorlemmer, the East German dissident preacher, Neiman tells the story of the long and difficult path Germans faced in their effort to atone for the crimes of the Holocaust. In the United States, she interviews James Meredith about his battle for equality in Mississippi and Bryan Stevenson about his monument to the victims of lynching, as well as lesser-known social justice activists in the South, to provide a compelling picture of the work contemporary Americans are doing to confront our violent history. In clear and gripping prose, Neiman urges us to consider the nuanced forms that evil can assume, so that we can recognize and avoid them in the future.
