Based on this, Martin Luther taught that we can hear the words of forgiveness from the minister as is from Christ himself. P: In the name of the Father, and of the ☩ Son, and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. P: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:8-9) Silence for reflection and self-examination. P: Most merciful God, C: We confess that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.

  • A TEACHER's PRAYER Lord, I Thank Thee for the Chance to Work at A
    A TEACHER'S PRAYER Lord, I thank Thee for the chance to work at a task that makes the hours so full. Let me use those hours to guide the precious lives entrusted to my care in ways of good- ness. Help me to be calm in the face of disturbance, kind to all regardless of circumstance, tolerant when under- standing is lacking, and faithful in duties great and small. I pray for the strength of mind and body to do what is expected of me without losing my willing spirit. For- give the mistakes I made this day, and give me wisdom to correct them. In the name of the Great Teacher, I pray. Amen. --Frances H Butler MY CODE I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as days go by, Always to look myself straight, in the eye. I don't want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for the things I've done. I want to go out with my head erect; I want to deserve all men's respect: But here in the struggle for fame and pelf, I want to he able to like myself. I don't want to look at myself and know That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can fool myself, and so Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. Author unknown.

    · .... Concou()ia The~logicol Monthly .. ····" NOVEMBER · 1954 ARCHIVES The German Hymn In English Translation By WALTER G. TILLMANNS ED. NOTE: The writer of rhis article is professor in rhe Department of Modern Languages at Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa. In rhis study he had rhe assistance of rhe following members of a class in Early New High German Literature: Frank Benz, Henry Borgardt, Emmett Busch, Paul Hanselmann, Marvin Hartmann, Fred Hueners, John Kuper, Reuben Schaidt, Kenneth Truckenbrod, and Wilbert Winkler. HE German hymn is one of the most precious treasures of the T Lutheran Church. Ever since 1523, when Martin Luther and his co-workers began to write "German Psalms" for the con­ gregation, the hymn and spiritual song has taken il:S place in the congregational life; next to the preaching of the Word and the teaching of the Catechism, there is nothing so dear to the Lutheran as the rich heritage of the "singing church." With the exception of German hymns written before the Refor­ mation and a few hundred by Reformed and Roman Catholic authors since then, almost all of the 100,000 or more German hymns and spiritual songs were written by Lutherans. Most of these hymns are forgotten today, but about five per cent, or roughly 5,000, have survived the centuries and are still sung today, although many of them are not known generally. Of this number about ten per cent, or a little more than 500, have been translated into the English language. A study was made of eleven Lutheran and six non-Lutheran American hymnals * in order to ascertain the number of German to the total number of hymns, the most widely used German hymns, .

  • Mimetischer Zauber: Die Englischsprachige Rezeption Deutscher Lieder in Den Usa, 1830-1880
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MIMETISCHER ZAUBER: DIE ENGLISCHSPRACHIGE REZEPTION DEUTSCHER LIEDER IN DEN USA, 1830-1880 Armin Werner Hadamer, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Elke Frederiksen Department of Germanic Studies The English-language reception of German songs in the United States was a textual practice that extended across many social contexts in the 19th century. Translation, adaptation and circulation of these songs were a form of rhetorical and quasi mimetic representation that helped various American discourses constitute their worlds and identities (Transcendentalism, reform movements, revivalism, education, popular culture, political parties and the Civil War). Homi Bhabha’s concept of the “Third Space” is a valid approach to the reception as these discourses made German songs part of their negotiations of American national identity, class, moral values, gender, and ethnicity, thus creating their own usable as well as ambivalent German point of reference. German and American cultures did not simply coexist in symbiotic relations. Rather, as the reception shows, they constructed their identities and differences through multiple intertextual relations within a shared discursive sphere of song. Cultural transfer was thus as much an inside as an outside phenomenon. The dissertation builds on extensive archival research and a collection of several hundred German songs, each with melody and English text, ranging from the Classics, Romanticism, the Napoleonic Wars, to German, Austrian and Swiss folk songs. The main objective is to move the American reception of German songs from its hidden archival existence into the light of scholarly investigation by applying an interdisciplinary Cultural Studies approach. The dissertation uses Michel Foucault’s discourse analysis to refine this approach methodologically, demonstrating with an in- depth archeology the discursive function of the songs within their contexts.
