“DEAR ‘MR. THORNE,’
“Will you please accept my best thanks for your book, _When it
was Dark_. I started to read it as one distinctly prejudiced
against it, but I finished the last page saying, ‘It is
wonderful.’ I only wish that those who condemn it would read it
for themselves and see the forcible manner in which you have
depicted what the world would be if the Resurrection was a
myth. Faith cannot but be strengthened by reading it, and the
coming Eastertide will be more real to me through having read
_When it was Dark_.
“Wishing you every success and happiness.”
