BOOKENDS

IN, publishing this book. The Century Company has done something new. It has printed a book that defies being cast into any of the ordinary categories of recently published books. It is a book about a religious subject, but it is not a religious book. Some might call it a mystery story, but it it written about a much nobler subject than the common mystery-murder story. It is a story about that which happened immediately following the death of Christ, written from a modern psychological viewpoint, and having elements of suspense injected into it. It stands alone among recent books.

"Who Moved the Stone?" is a sympathetic and intelligent study of the events of the latter half of Passion Week, and, working on a firm historical and biblical foundation, Mr. Morison proceeds by deductive reasoning to solve the mystery of the stone. At times the story is intensely absorbing, then again it becomes dull because of the slow and pedantic mauncy in which the answer is finally reached. The author is too much of a scholar to keep up the vivid and interesting style of the early chapters.
