John Fiske

Excursions of an Evolutionist John Fiske

To REV. JOHN LANGDON DUDLEY. Dear and Honoured Friend: Quarter of a century has passed since I used to listen with delight to your preaching and come to you for sympathy and counsel in my studies. In these later days, while we meet too seldom, my memory of that wise and cordial sympathy grows ever brighter and sweeter; and to-day, in writmg upon my title-page the words of the great German seer, my thoughts naturally revert to you. For I know of no one who understands more thoroughly or feels more keenly how it is that if we would fain learn something of the I nfinite, we must not sit idly repeating the formulas of other men and other days, but must gird up our loins anew, and diligently explore on every side that finite realm through which sdll shines the glory of an ever-present God for those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. Pray accept this little book from one who is Ever gratefully yours, JOHN FISKE. Cambridge, October 23, 1883.
