    Excerpt from God's Good Man: A Simple Love-Story He was the sole owner of one of the smallest 'livings' in England, - an obscure, deeply-hidden, but perfectly unspoilt and beautiful relic of mediaeval days, situated in one of the loveliest of woodland counties, and known as the village of St. Rest, sometimes called 'st. Est.' Until quite lately there had been considerable doubt as to the origin of this name, and the correct manner of its pronouncement. Some said it should be, 'st. East, ' because, right across the purple moorland and beyond the line of blue hills where the sun rose, there stretched the sea, miles away and invisible, it is true, but nevertheless asserting its salty savour in every breath of wind that blew across the tufted pines. 'st. East, ' therefore, said certain rural sages, was the real name of the village, because it faced the sea towards the east. Others, however, declared that the name was derived from the memory of some early Norman church on the banks of the peaceful river that wound its slow clear length in pellucid silver ribbons of light round and about the clover fields and high banks fringed with wild rose and snowy thorn, and that it should, therefore, be 'st. Rest, ' or, better still, 'the Saint's Rest.' This latter theory had recently received strong confirmation by an unexpected witness to the past, - as will presently be duly seen and attested.

    Though the film is presumed lost, a surviving synopsis was published in the Moving Picture World on June 25, 1910. It states: "Thelma is a simple Norwegian maiden living alone with her father in the land of the midnight sun. Her father is one of the few remaining Vikings, famous in history. As such he is held in great reverence by his servants, who consider him somewhat in the nature of a king, and his daughter a princess. Outside of the years spent at school, Thelma has spent nearly all her time alone, her mother having died when she was a baby. When on a visit to her mother's grave, Thelma meets Sir Philip Errington, a distinguished young Englishman, who is touring Norway in his private yacht. Sir Philip is instantly attracted to her and, obtaining information as to where she lives, presents himself to Olaf, the Viking, and is finally admitted to his friendship and that of his daughter. Sir Phillip woos and wins the fair Thelma for his bride, and with her sails back to England. In London, Thelma at once creates a favorable impression and is cordially welcomed by all of Sir Philip's friends, who comprise the nobility and aristocracy of the metropolis. Lady Clara, alone, of all Sir Philip's old friends, wishes Thelma harm. She has long felt an affection for Sir Phillip, and resents the fact that he spurned her love and chose his bride in far-off Norway. This wicked and designing woman determines to wreck Thelma's happiness, and force her to leave England. This she contrives to do, in making Thelma believe that Sir Philip no longer loves her, but that in truth his heart belongs to Lady Clara. As proof of her statement she shows Thelma a letter written to her by Sir Philip in which he pleads the cause of his friend, who is in love with Lady Clara, and wishes her to become his wife. This Lady Clara claims is a love letter written by Sir Philip to her. Thelma, heartbroken, believing she has lost her husband's love, returns to Norway, just as her father, the Viking, breathes his last. She, with his faithful followers, complies with his last wishes, which are that he shall be buried as his forefathers were before him - sent out to sea in his burning ship. This form of burial had been that accorded to all Vikings for centuries past. After straining her eyes for a final look at the departing ship, Thelma retraces her steps to her mother's grave, and there, feeling that she is alone, prays for the strength to live. Here in a rocky dell before the tomb of her mother, where first she met the man who won her heart, Sir Philip again finds Thelma. A few words suffice to show her how she has been tricked, and a fervent protestation of his love convinces her that she still has a place in his heart. In Sir Philip's arms, she finds comfort for the loss of her father; she starts out bravely to again face the world, now sure of his unending love

    The Passing of the Great Queen is a novel by Marie Corelli, published in 1912. The story is set in the fictional kingdom of Rhaetia, where Queen Elena has been ruling for many years. The queen is beloved by her people, but she is also feared for her mysterious powers and her ability to control the weather. When she falls ill, the kingdom is thrown into turmoil as the people worry about who will succeed her on the throne.The novel follows the lives of several characters who are affected by the queen's illness and eventual passing. There is the handsome and charming Prince Lionel, who is in love with the queen's granddaughter, Princess Thelma. There is also the scheming Countess von Sempach, who hopes to use the queen's death to further her own ambitions. And there is the mysterious Dr. Xavier, who seems to know more than he lets on about the queen's illness.As the kingdom mourns the passing of its great queen, the characters must navigate their own personal dramas and the political intrigue that surrounds the succession to the throne. The novel is a mix of romance, fantasy, and political drama, and it explores themes of power, love, and mortality.Strange, beautiful and pathetic is the picture given to our thoughts of the dead Majesty of England, --white and still, lying in her snowy death-robes with the first snowdrops of the year and lilies around her, and the golden Cross shining above her--that emblem of the Christian Faith which, in its simplest form, the Queen followed fervently without any faltering doubt or fear. The words of one of her favourite hymns were the daily echo of her own heart's trust in the Divine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

    Mary Corelli (1855-1924), was a British novelist. She began her career as a musician, adopting the name Marie Corelli for her billing. She gave up music, turning to writing instead and in 1886 published her first novel, A Romance of Two Worlds. In her time, she was the most widely read author of fiction but came under harsh criticism from many of the literary elite for her overly melodramatic and emotional writing. A recurring theme throughout Corelli's books was her attempt to reconcile Christianity with reincarnation, astral projection and other mystical topics. Her books were a very important part of the foundation of today's New Age religion. Amongst her works are Vendetta: A Story of One Forgotten (1886), Thelma (1887), Ardath: The Story of a Dead Self (1889), Ziska (1897), and The Master-Christian (1900). She is also the author of Temporal Power: A Study in Supremacy (1902), God's Good Man: A Simple Love Story (1904), and The Secret Power (1921).
