"The Endless Life," by Dr. S. M. Crothers, was the Ingersoll Lecture for 1905. It presented the point of view of the idealist, who, while cognizant of the 'Everlasting Nay' which science is believed to have pronounced against human immortality, still holds that there are regions in which science cannot properly dictate, and that in these regions the hopes and inferences and implications of the spiritual life are entitled to full respect.
Dr. Crothers writes without dogmatism, in a fine, genial tone, and enriches his discussion with many pertinent quotations. His words cannot fail to give strength to many readers. The method of choosing the Ingersoll lectures so that philosophy, science, history, and religion have in turn their spokesman is truly excellent.
