[*] Nicholson, Meredith. [House of a thousand candles.] [†]$1.50. Bobbs.
The story of a young man whose grandfather has willed him the house of a thousand candles, which includes an Indiana estate, upon the condition that he live in the house a year, otherwise the estate goes to Marian. There is a villain, and there are secret passages, and other mysterious things, there is shooting and slugging, until the reader is prepared for anything, and cheerfully accepts the fact that Olivia, whom the heir loves, is really Marian, and is quite prepared at the end to greet the grandfather, who, it appears, is not dead after all.
[*] “A story bristling with adventure.”

“A brief series of articles dealing in detail with some texts in the Old Testament. The method of Dr. Nicoll’s interpretation is to allow Scripture to be the commentary on Scripture. Without deprecating modern criticism, he claims that his exposition moves in a region which criticism does not touch: ‘The great passages in the Word of God are timeless.’”—Ath.
