THE KEYS OF THE ’ KINGDOM By A. J. CRONIN 10/6 IN this, his greatest novel, Dr. Cronin presents a vital human theme through the life story of a simple man who will be loved and remembered as long as the printed word is read. “THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM will hold you because of the story, rich in the dramatic scenes for which Dr. Cronin is famous; and still more because of its chief character, Francis Chisholm, Scots priest, a curious mixture of childlike simplicity and logical directness, who believed that tolerance was the highest virtue and humility was next. By conventional standards, a failure as a curate, he was given a vicarate in China; and there for thirty-five years, a thousand miles from Tientsin, he laboured to establish and maintain a mission in a Chinese village; there he struggled against indifference, famine, plague, bandits and civil war; there he searched for the eternal truths. Ten years ago Dr. Cronin’s first novel “Hatter’s Castle” made him famous. In 1937 his controversial novel about doctors, “The Citadel” swept the Englishspeaking world. Dr Manson in that novel worked to save lives: Father Francis, in his new novel laboured to make lives more worth living. His story and his ability to see beyond creeds and orthodoxy, his love of decency and justice, will stir ,you deeply. A BOOK YOU SIMPLY MUST READ. DEE STREET, INVERCARGILL. TELEPHONE 393.
