"Paul Kayser proved to be a real father to the Saints in Alsace. During the first two years after the occupation by the Germans he had a hard time to preside over his branch because some of the presiding brethren in the West German mission, under whom he was placed, were 100 per cent Nazis and tried to preach national Socialism instead of the Gospel of Jesus Christ when they visited his branch. The Saints were asked to pray for the "Fuehrer" in their meetings and in their homes and regard him as a divinely called man, who had to prepare the world for the United Order. A lot of foolish things must have been said by these brethren and the people did not always know where the Church stood in this matter. Many were under the impression that we as a Church were in favor of Nazism. Attempts were made to harmonize Hitlerism with the Church doctrines, even to prove that the Nazi party was organized after the pattern of our Church; the "Fuehrer" was like the president of the Church to whom we should owe blind obedience; the S. S. was compared to the Melchizedek and the S. A. to the Aaronic Priesthood; the Gauleiters to the stake presidents, the Kreis and Blockleiters to our branch teachers, etc. It was a good thing to have Brother Paul Kayser there, who could not be converted to Nazism, but 'clinging to the rod of iron' he finally succeeded and the brethren let him alone and he ran the branch after the old order of things.
