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.

OVERTIME IN HEAVEN by
Peter Lisagor and Marguerite
Higgins {Doubleday $4.95). 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.

*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.”
