What should we do?
We have no wish to interrupt the destroyer's
work of saving lives...
But war is war and the people being picked up out
of the water are soldiers bound for the front;
soldiers who are to shoot at our German brothers...
The question whether we are to perish in despair or defiance,
or survive all trails with a live conscience,
depends wholly and solely on whether we believe
in the forgiveness of sins. This 25th January
was the turning point in my life,
because it opened my eyes to the utter
impossibility of a moral universe.
