set.”

presently be heard.”
When It was Dark. The Story of a Great Conspiracy. By GUY
THORNE (Author of “The Oven,” &c.) 4th Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth,
6s.
This book has been praised and recommended by THE DEAN OF DURHAM,
THE BISHOP OF EXETER, and the Rev. R. J. CAMPBELL; while THE BISHOP OF
LONDON, preaching at Westminster Abbey, said:
“I wonder whether any of you have read that remarkable work of fiction,
entitled ‘When it was Dark’? It paints, in wonderful colours, what it
seems to me the world would be if for six months, as in the story it is
supposed to be the case, owing to a gigantic fraud, the Resurrection
might be supposed never to have occurred, and as you feel the darkness
creeping round the world, you see how woman in a moment loses the best
friend she ever had, and crime and violence increase in every part
of the world. When you see how darkness settles down upon the human
spirit when it sat for six months and regarded the Christian record as
a fable, then you quit with something like adequate thanksgiving, and
thank God it is light because of the awful darkness when it was dark.”
FATHER IGNATIUS says:
“I found it most interesting.... I think the story may do much good. It
gives a true picture of the plots and objects of the ‘Higher Critics.’
I hope there will be many future editions.”
