""Thomas Wingfold, Curate"" is a thoughtful and thought-provoking novel that explores complex issues of faith, morality, and human nature.Ah, Mr. Wingfold! what if, after all the discoveries made, and all the theories set up and pulled down, amid all the commonplaces men call common sense, notwithstanding all the over-powering and excluding self-assertion of things that are seen, ever crying, 'Here we are, and save us there is nothing: the Unseen is the Unreal!'--what if, I say, notwithstanding all this, it should yet be that the strongest weapon a man can wield is prayer to one who made him!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
