It is explained that his interest in European affairs has greatly diminished, even politics find him somewhat uninterested. His mind appears to live rather in the past than in the present, and he is disposed, whenever he does con verse on politics and some one speaks of the injustice of the world, to allude with a certain melancholy and indifference to what he terms William was prim ate of the Lutheran state church of Prussia and as such he always stud ied theology and cultivated expert ness in defense of Lutheran doctrines and their application. His mind was often divided, in those days, be tween the study of military and re ligious Questions, but now he is said to be enthralled in religious ques tions alone to the exclusion of all problems of state craft.
