Even if Fritz Mitscher is less known to the local friends, nevertheless, he worked by his talks among many other anthroposophists, by that what he performed wonderfully from friend to friend by the way he familiarised himself with the anthroposophical life. His character has just to be regarded as exemplary, because he whose soul forces were directed to go through a learnt education was keen to take up and collect everything in himself according to his disposition of scholarship, to embrace it intimately in his soul-life, to insert it then in his spiritual-scientific world view. We need this kind of work, in particular, while we want to carry the spiritual-scientific ideals into future in a beneficial way. We need human beings, who try to penetrate the education of our time with understanding to immerse it in the stream of spiritual education; who offer that as it were as a sacrifice. Also there—and I speak only of matters that resulted from karma with necessity—karma caused that I had to speak at the cremation. Out of internal necessity it turned out that I had to characterise the being of our dear friend again in the beginning and at the end of the funeral speech. I had to characterise this being:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Wenn Fritz Mitschet auch den hiesigen Freunden weniger bekannt ist, so hat er doch unter vielen andern Anthroposophen gewirkt durch seine Vorträge, durch das, was er von Freund zu Freund in wunderbarer Weise geleistet hat durch die Art, wie er sich hineinfand in das anthroposophische Leben, so daß gerade seine Art angesprochen werden muß als mustergültig, als vorbildlich, vorbildlich aus dem Grunde, weil er, dessen Seelenkräfte darauf gerichtet waren, eine gelehrte Bildung durchzumachen und in sich aufzunehmen, bestrebt war, alles das, was er bemüht war, zu sammeln nach seiner Anlage durch Gelehrtheit, zu umfassen durch die intime Art seines Seelenlebens, es dann aber in seine geisteswissenschaftliche Weltanschauung einzufügen. Diese Art des Wirkens, sie brauchen wir insbesondere, indem wir in segensreicher Weise der Zukunft dasjenige entgegentragen wollen, was die geisteswissenschaftlichen Ideale sind. Menschen brauchen wir, welche mit Verständnis zu durchdringen versuchen, was Zeitbildung ist, um es einzutauchen in den Strom der spirituellen Bildung; die gewissermaßen das Opfer darbringen, die Zeitbildung einzutauchen in den Strom des Spirituellen. Auch da - und ich spreche ja nur von Dingen, die sich durch das Karma mit Notwendigkeit ergeben haben — hat es das Karma mit sich gebracht, daß ich bei der Einäscherung zu sprechen hatte.
