On the occasion of Hans Delbrück's "Government and People's Will", in: The Christian World, 1914, nos. 34 and 35, sp. 791-796 and 809-813The first part of these reflections, published on 20.8.1914 and like the second "written at the beginning of this year in the deepest peace in Florence", Bonus adds: "We are in danger of letting the wave of excitement beat over us and of forgetting over the will of victory why we want and must win" (sp. 795). "Is not ... political thinking as religious already since the entry of Christianity into history, sonun also moral ... and by our real circumstances ... and uprooted by our real sense of culture?" (Sp. 791). With spruce against Wilhelminian colonial policy (Sp. 793). Then to the "will of the people" as a "mythical greatness" or a "concept of life", far away from any statistics and all majority thinking (Sp. 794, 809); only "rabble" understands "by German a loutish uprising against the foreign nationalities in our fatherland; ... It is the people for whom we fight, whose blood we have in our veins, whose future we have in our will" (Sp.795). Bonus for true liberalism, including the liberal "idea of solidarity of the cultural peoples" (Sp. 812).very instructive; from special-print folder "Evidence. 1912-1914"4 sheets

Halbmonatsschrift für alle Fragen des modernen Lebens, 15.6.1913, p. 43-44All-German Nationalism and its extreme demands rejects Bonus, "... we can only want full participation". The "policy of open doors" to a "western federal state with independent individual members, but common colonial administration," from which "another practically practicable way to the organization of mankind would then open up," was correct, from the special-print collection folder "Evidence. 1912-1914"1 sheet
in: Der Kunstwart, 25.24 (1912), 2nd September issue, p. 388-389 "It looks dark over Europe." "Cultural workers" such as Bonus could not and would not remain silent about the growing "tensions". His interest is aimed at an "occidental cultural coexistence". And as far as the dispute over the colony is concerned, he considers it intolerable that the "colonial capitalist states of the Tripleentente "possess more than they need", while Germany, on the other hand, may "at most grab the crumbs" from the special-print collection folder "Evidence. 1912-1914"2 sheets

in: The day, 5.1.1915The day is set by the German missionary and important sinologist Richard Wilhelm, who published from Tsingtau the great "Chinese philosophers and religious" and besides "Chinese fairy tales ... mainly those he heard in the "area of Kiautschou". The great perfection to which it has brought our technical-scientific work requires a religious counter-attack of broader comprehensive and more uniform unifying overall feeling and mystically stronger transparency of world life than the present state of our religious vision offers".
Review of an unwritten book, in: Die kritische Tribüne. Halbmonatszeitung für Politik, literarische Kunst und Kritik (Leipzig), 2 (1913), January, p. 73-76Lightly ironic, but on the other hand quite determined to the growing "mismatch between landowning and dispossessed peoples", which is attributed to the "strong closure of the colonies against foreign trade" and even to the possibility of "providing the children of the country with worthwhile employment in colonial civil service posts". Then the "true love of the fatherland of all our great men (Lessing, Herder, ... Fichte, Arndt)" and "the new plant of German >Nationalism>" are confronted with each other - "the German mouth that punishes the German soul with lies". Bonus positive, which concerns a "Western League of Nations" according to the model of "Pangermanism in the Björnson sense". Conclusion: "That we don't want >to have a place in the sun<, but want and demand the participation clearly and clearly, not for us alone, but for all; just the open door.

Neulandblatt, No. 1Eisenach
This collection is a collection of excerpts from national and international newspapers and magazines. The total volume covers more than 9,000 units of description in the period from 1916 to 1947. International print media include Belgian, Italian, French, Swedish, Dutch and English (British). This collection was compiled on behalf of the National Council of Churches by Marie Begas (then Secretary of the National Church Office) and reflects the content of the political and ecclesiastical disputes before and during the two world wars. The focus is on the period after 1933 (German Christians, church struggle etc.) Due to the poor state of preservation of the tradition as a result of increasing paper decay, use has not been possible for many years. Until then, there was no user-friendly distortion. For this reason, the entire stock was gradually systematically indexed in an Excel spreadsheet and each newspaper clipping or article was recorded individually. each individual article was given a serial number (partly with letter supplements, which is why the last current signature number differs greatly from the total number of data records, see above). Existing numbering was largely taken into account. The individual originals (newspaper clippings) were combined in folders, which in turn were placed in archive cartons. One carton has an average capacity of 3 folders and several employees worked on this complex project over a period of approx. 10 years. In order to make the holdings visible to the public, the Excel table was transferred to the archive database and an online find book was generated from it, which can be viewed from November 2017 on the archive portal in Thuringia. The sub-collection "Zeitungsschau, Ausgabe "Kultur", Zeitarchiv-Verlag GmbH Detmold, was not filmed because it deviates from the main focus of the remaining holdings. These are the signatures 6147 to 6238. This part of the collection appears separately in classification group 5 of the index. In the following we would like to draw your attention to further special features: In some newspapers and magazines there are cross-page articles, whereby the continuation is usually provided again with the article number and assigned (for a better overview). The new article starts with a new serial no..There are articles that extend over several pages - when using them, you have to pay attention to the corresponding references on the microfilm/digital image (e.g. "b.w." or "above weiter" etc.).The structure of the text columns (text columns) can vary from newspaper to newspaper: sometimes the text is printed from top to bottom and is continued in the right column; in other cases, however, the text sometimes extends from the left column to a subheading (or a photo) and is only continued above the subheading in the right column.It is misleading in some cases that important sentences in the middle of a text are printed in headline size and bold; this can give the impression that it is a subheading or even a new heading, but this is not the case. There are several articles that are embedded in other articles/texts, which were recorded as individually as possible during the filming. In addition, there are some gaps in the sequential numbering that result from missing articles/cuttings or minor errors in the signature assignment. Such places were also marked in the find book, so that there should be no more real "gaps".The listed peculiarities were considered with the filming as far as possible.Altogether the present collection is an important contemporary testimony of the political and church-political peculiarities at that time. In this context we would like to draw your attention to the following publication:BEGAS, MARIE: TAGEBÜCHER ZUM KIRCHENKAMPF 1933-1938(see: http://www.landeskirchenarchiv-eisenach.de/kontakt/aktuelles/33009.html)Eisenach, den 15.11.2017Johannes BrehmerMargitta Köppe
