NOTE
On the evening of December 19, 1900, Mr. Fiske delivered in SandersTheatre, Cambridge, the address here printed. It was given at therequest of Harvard University, in accordance with the terms of theIngersoll lectureship, but it stood clearly in Mr. Fiske's mind as acontinuation, and in a sense the completion, of that series ofphilosophic studies successively issued under the titles, "The Destinyof Man viewed in the Light of his Origin," "The Idea of God as affectedby Modern Knowledge," and "Through Nature to God." Mr. Fiske delayed thepublication of "Life Everlasting," and it is possible that he designedamplifying it. Yet, as he stated in[Pg 6] his Preface to "The Idea of God,"that both that book and "The Destiny of Man" were printed exactly asdelivered, "without the addition, or subtraction, or alteration of asingle word," so he may have intended to print this study in the sameway. At any rate it is now printed exactly as it was delivered, hisperfectly clear manuscript being carefully followed.
