Excerpt from Reason and Religion In his preface to this last-named work, and in two treatises on Pedagogy, Dr. Rupp (koenigsberg, 1842) shows that the weakness of our age in matters of moral organisation and the indifference concerning re ligious affairs, the absence of, at least, all connected efforts in this respect, could be remedied only, in view of a religious education, by promoting the establish ment of religious communities among the people. In the year 1842, Dr. Rupp was appointed Divi sions Prediger, t.e. Chaplain for the Garrison of Koenigsberg, a high position in a country where the army ranks as'high as' it does in Prussia. At this time, owing to his high character and the uncommon power of his eloquence, he had a large circle of fervent adherents. The Church of the Castle (the old and venerable Church in which all the Kings of Prussia have been crowned, and which was built by the German knights) could scarcely hold the number of his hearers, some of whom were men of science who had hitherto appeared entirely devoid of religious feeling. Through all Dr. Rupp's sermons of that period, as well as in the subsequent series, runs the idea that Christianity, such at least as Jesus had really conceived it, was the belief in humanity. If we may explain the idea In our own words, we should qualify it thus: humanity called to prove its divine origin by a life divine. He held that the words son of man, and son of God.
