NEfV NOVELS SERVANT OF GOD The Keys of the Kingdom, By A. J. Cronin. Whitcombe and Tombs Ltd. 390 pp. (10/6.) In Father Francis Chisholm and in the story of his passage from childhood to age Mr Cronin has concentrated his dramatic gifts on one whose “strength was as the strength of ten. because his heart was pure.” Victory is ever with the simple, ardent servant of God: over proud and powerful enemies who stand in the way of his service, among the perils of plague and war, through the wreck of his dearest purpose. Much of the action lies in China. Mr Cronin’s narrative grip is stronger than ever. THE BATTLE The Last to Rest, By Ernest Raymond. Cassel. 394 pp. The calamity of Czechoslovakia, a calamity against which the unsubdued spirit of the Czechs was to find its ally in the spirit of England, roused to battle: that is the theme of Mr Raympnd’s glowing novel of the war for freedom.
