Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Country´s New Era: An Address to the Society of the Alumni of Wittenberg College, at the College Commencement, Springfield, Ohio, June 25, A. D. 1873 It is already a trite saying, that our republic entered upon a new era of its history at the close of the late war. Unfortunately, trite sayings are most apt to receive a mechanical sort of assent which implies very little thought; and truths which ought to be fruitful lose their stimulating force by mere dint of frequent repetition, and are received with a languid recognition and drowsy acquiescence, which quite takes the life out of them. So, I fancy, many a young man who is entering upon his career says to himself, "True, we are at the beginning of a new era," and may have a vague idea that it is a glorious thing, and that we are somehow in a more imposing and noble attitude among the nations; but does not stop to inquire what the new era means, nor whether it implies any new relations or larger responsibilities tor himself. It has seemed to me that I could do no better than call your attention to some of the characteristics of this new era as they present themselves to me; to point out some of the tendencies of the time, both good and bad, and some of the dangers as well as the glories that may be in store for us.
