How to cultivate the knowledge of the Kingdom of the World was to him the essential problem. The youth should make progress in the most essential thing in the world, namely, to discriminate the value of things. In order to accomplish this, a te-evaluation of values must be made, or rather a te-evaluation of values must continue to be made. The young Krey had an eye for values, if only for the value of money. The young Uhl had an eye for values, if only for the enjoyment of life, as he beheld life. The young Thiessen had an eye for values, if only for the value of a mere sleepy existence. How to teach the young people to re-evaluate these values was the problem which weighed heavily upon the young pastor. His endeavors bore but little fruit; perhaps merely temporary alleviation of intense suflering, perhaps a momentary reflection about the truth so plainly told, but the people still remained far from the Kingdom of the World and therefore far from the Kingdom of Heaven.
