THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1964 THE PHjOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE id I Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER KIND-HEARTED TIGER by Gilbert Stuart with Allen Levy (Little-Brown $5.95). This is no book for the squeamish, we get- guerrilla warfare at its most ruth less in China and Burma with no prisoners taken unless to question them under torture, not to men tion the daily struggle with hun ger, dirt and vermin. Of course, there are high moments, too: courage, loyalty to comrades, faith in a cause. Gilbert Stuart had learned to be tough in Australia after an unlikely start in childhood when he spent three years is a hospital with a crushed hip, leaving a tu bercular condition. Fighting against this he says that between eight and twenty-six “ I had dedi cated my life to toughening my body.” He succeeded. We meet him first as a shift boss dovyn in a Hong Kong lead mine. He is lis tening to an Agitator urging twenty miners to kill him then and there. He does not send for the mine police, he jumps into the midst of them with his rubber hose and quells the riot on his own. Not that Gilbert Stuart disliked the Chinese. On the contrary, from the time he was a child and played that his toy soldiers were the Chinese army, he had ideal ized them. He was in Hong Kong because he wanted to join China’s fight against the Japanese. His fisrt efforts to this end were po litely received but nothing hap pened. Then taking a job in the lead mine, operated chiefly with reality.” Alien Levy is a free-lance writer who collaborated with Stuart in getting his experiences down in writing. The result is an unusual book of adventure and a rare look into the minds of the Orientals with whom Stuart had an intimacy such as few men have ever attained. Chinese labor, he eventually made the necessary contacts, crossed into China and joined a band of Chinese guerrillas. For ten months disguised as a Chinese I coolie he lived with them and fought with them and found the life a real test of his toughness. Eventually the band was nearly wiped out, and Stuart was sent back over the border, too well known by that time to be a useful guerrilla. , Next he operated a truck line on the famous Burma road, while training a new group of Chinese guerillas in Burma. This group was eventually incorporated in the regular Chinese army and Stuart as a Colonel became the only foreigner to hold a commis sion in that army. It was the Chi nese, beginning at the Hong Kong mine who gave him the name of “Tzu-hsin Hu,” the Kind-hearted Tiger, because, though a rough discipjlinarian, he looked after their welfare and long-term in terests. The book is not all desperate encounters and ruthless drive. Stuart was a thoughtful man as well as a man of action. Through the events here described he came to a better understanding of him self and the world. His passionate hatred of the Japanese and his blind devotion to China were tempered by experience. “After eight years,” he says, “the young man was still shedding the false skins of prejudice, hatred, con tempt and blindness with which he had armed himself against AN HONORABLE ESTATE by Lane Kauffman (Lippincott $5.95). This is a long leisurely novel about two families and their marriages. It begins with a party where the Fortescues an nounce the engagement of their daughter, young Vickie, to Roger Hilliard and ends with their wed ding. At the party we meet par ents, uncles, cousins, a stepfath er and two grandparents. They are all well-to-do New Yorkers, several of them promi nent in one field, or another. Their characters are drawn with care ful strokes by the author as we listen to them talking to each other and are given an inside view of their immediate concerns and emotions on this occasion. Following the same people through the ensuing weeks we learn more about their back grounds and personal problems. As the title indicates, the au thor is chiefly concerned with their marriages, “an honorable estate.” There is Roger’s father, playwright who has run through three marriages and ends by remarrying his second wife. In the family of the bride’s mother there has never been a divorce but one is now imminent, and the family are concerned to persuade the young woman not to go to Reno. There is a good deal of talk by men about women and by women about marriage. No unfailing reci pe for success is given, but you get plenty of discussion about what helps to make a marriage last.

Peter ; Lisagor is now chief of the Wash ington bureau of the Chicago Daily News, and Marguerite Hig gins is a syndicated columnist. Both have had wide experience in foreign news reporting and they gather here ten true incidents of heroism by United States Foreign Office people—ambassadors, con suls, clerks—some of which are based on hitherto top-secret files. Steu-ting with a mission carried out by one of George Washing ton’s emissaries, but concentra ting on missions accomplished during World War II and since, this book gives impressive evi dence of the courage and re sourcefulness of Foreign Office men and women. One of the most amusing examples is that of Rob ert D. Murphy, Roosevelt’s special representative in North Africa in 1942, impersonating a bawdy drunk to divert the pro-Vichy French police. The book has a foreword by Dean Rusk and an epilogue by the late President Kennedy. Malcolm Blue, 11:25-12; Mrs. J W. Smith, 12:05-12:10; Mrs. D L.

FREE REFRESHMENTS TO EVERY VISITOR! *T«HE Cl one of the strangest coUections of humanity that exists in the world. There is hardly anotii« religion which has a church; it is a peculiarly Christiaa institution, even its members debate end lessly among themselves as to what the diiwch really is and what to call it Even in the New Testa ment other names besides “diureh” are used for it Clearly, the churdi did not fit Dr.Forenuu all its titles equal ly weU; if any one had been quite satisfaetwy, there would have been no nera for the other names. One of the names used by St Paul in referring to the church is “household of God" (Eph. 2:19). This word includes the meaning “family”; the striking point is that Paul calls it the household of God. What other organization can dare to call itself by such a high name? Paul does not mean to call the church perfect completely holy; but he uses some of the same words to refer to the church that he uses in speaking about Christ and God. In short, we are invited by the Apostle to look at the church as both divine and human. The household—^that is the everyday human word; of God —that is the word of divinity. This alone makes the church unique. This also raises problems. To bypass a long discussion, we must say that according to the New Testament, the church is not a club which has asked Christ to join them. It is the other way around: Christ invites the church to join him. “Follow me,” he used to say in Galilee, and still does. What we share Now if we are, as a church, in any sense the household or family of God, we might be expected to have something in common. To put it another way, if you trav eled around the world, meeting Christians in every nation (for there are fewer than half a dozen nations without any Christians), you might expect to find these Christians to be a good deal alike. But the fact is, you would prob ably be struck with how different they are. Even if you look into one congregation, say your own, what a variety of temperament, dispositions, abilities, and tastes you would find! What draws these people together, what is the ce ment that holds these odd-shaped stones in place? It is certainly not '.lie peas-in-a-pod likeness that you might find in a college fraternity or the lockstep likeness of prison ers shuffling to bed. All sorts and conditions of men make up the church. Why doesn’t the church split a thousand ways? The fact is, it has split, too many ways. But even so, as you pass from denomination to denomination, from Protestant to Catholic, from liberal to conservative, there is still something that all these smaller groups share in common. In our herifage Let’s be brief on paper here, and leave the reader free to con tinue thinking about this for him self. One thing you will And in every church in the world—one thing that makes us all one, is that you can’t even get into a church by telling the officers how good you are. You get in, and you stay in, by admitting that you’re just not right. We call, this “con fession of sin,” confession of the most serious failure a man cn commit—^not coming up to what God has a right to expect of him. If we could say no more than that, the church would not have lasted long. But we can also say, ar.d this is more important, that tills great family is made up c' those who admit their weakne; ;' and perverseness, and have askea ti^e pardon of a gracious God, and have received it; and now, in Pau!’s words, “have access to the Father,” through him—^that is, Jesus. A young Mohammedan who had been converted to Christian faith said to me when I asked him what had persuaded him to be a Chri.stian: “My old religion had plenty of theology, just as much as yours; but you have Christ, and we have nothing to match him.” iTlsion of Christlon Edacmtion» National Conndl of tho dinrchco of Christ in tho p* & A* hr Coaannity mi* terlet.)
