Decay OF Passion and Thought in Our
own Times,


II, ~ NNNNl'
It's a condition OF mind and an attitude OF
the moral powers which there is much in our
modern atmosphere that combines TO repro
duce may not undertake here to draw the
portrait OF the times in which we Of to-day are
living. But as a traveller may note the features
of landscape through which he is passing,
though he cannot describe with accuracy its
geological formation, so may any serious OBJ
4ever detect the atmosphere Of the generation
hrough which he Is living. For one venture
20 affirm that 1t is an atmosphere singularly
discharged of high enthusiasms With what
strange and puzzled feeling one reads,
for instance, Of the English and American ar
dor sixty years ago in the struggle with the
Greeks for liberty. Nobody les to Tunis,
30 Egypt TO the rescue OF the Jews in
Russia In our own generation There is almost
no great ardor, in fact, about anything any
more 1t is not good form TO be ardent or
enthusiastic in any interest, however serious
or lofty The first aim OF life is TO get the
CLINT Of fire out OF your eye, and the ring Of
deeper feeling out Of your voice. The only
place where vehemence and impassioned OK
preston are permissible any longer is in con-
nection with purely dramatic representations,
and only there because it is perfectly well un-
derstood that nothing serious is meant 10y it.
The first thing that many young persons are
taught IN our days ia to stihe all earnest exhi-
billions Of feeling and to affect languld and
critical indifference And the next Is, on all
occasions and in all companies, and concerning
all subjects no matter how far above them, to
cultivate a mannerism of opinion which is all,
like Mr. Whstor's pictures, in low tono-with-
cut ono flash OF warmth or commences in 1t all
dry, pert, meagre! (0h how unuttorably thin
aud shallowD but carefully disparagins and
utterly faithless,
