That
splendid
type of
the
upright
out-of-door
man
about
which
Ralph
Connor
builds
all his
stories
appears
again in
this
book.
His
present
hero is
a braw
laddie
from the
Highlands,
who, on
the
International
football
team at
Edinburgh,
in the
face of
all
Scotland
and in
the hour
of her
need,
failed
because
he
wasn't
fit!
So from
the
start,
the
first
division
of his
fight is
cut out
for him,
against
the
devils
within
himself;
and
after he
goes to
Canada
he meets
with
plenty
more
occasion
for
warfare,
both
within
and
without.

The
In
"The
Major"
Ralph
Connor
tells of
a
Canadian
young
man
through
boyhood,
school
days,
college
days,
frontier
days, in
a
country
and a
world at
peace.
Suddenly
that
liberty
into
which he
was born
was
threatened,
the
rights
of small
nations
and of
individuals
were
challenged.
The
citizen
became a
soldier.
Since
the
writing
of his
latest
previous
novel,
Ralph
Connor
has been
on the
Western
Front as
Chaplain
of the
43rd
Cameron
Highlanders
of
Canada
-- A Sky
Pilot of
No Man's
Land.
From the
trenches
he
looked
backward
over the
years to
discover
what
were the
great
forces
which
went to
the
making
of the
Canadian
soldier
-- the
finest
example
of
patriotic
manhood
yet
appearing
on the
battle
line.
"The
Major"
is the
romance
of a
young
nation
rising
to
defend
its own
-- a
novel of
this
newer
civilization
of ours
built
upon the
foundations
of peace
but with
the
traditions
of valor
and
freedom
which do
not
tolerate
oppresion
or
restriction
of
liberty.

Only
Rebel
Loyalist,
The
One
of the
most
colorful
periods
in the
history
of the
two
northern
neighbors
on this
continent
was that
following
the
American
Revolutionary
War,
when
loyal
subjects
of King
George
III of
England
found it
impossible
to
remain
under
the flag
of the
newly
established
republic.
Differences
of
opinion,
even in
the same
families,
and
divided
allegiance
caused
many
thousands
of these
United
Empire
Loyalists
to make
their
way
through
trackless
woods
and by
strange
waters
to new
homes in
Canada
along
the head
of the
St.
Lawrence,
and in
the
Maritime
Provinces,
where
they
could
continue
to live
under
the
sovereignty
of Great
Britain.
It is of
this
period
of
misunderstanding,
of clash
and
conflict,
of
courageous
pioneer
adventure,
of cross
currents
in which
one's
love and
one's
allegiance
were
sometimes
sadly at
variance
-- it is
of this
confusing
and
exciting
time
that
Ralph
Connor
writes.
It is a
theme
which
gives
full
scope to
his
powers
as a
story-teller;
with a
calm,
unbiased
mind he
sees and
describes
with
understanding
sympathy
two
groups
of
people
of the
same
original
stock
breaking
into two
separate
nations,
each
group
honestly
believing
in the
principle
it
upheld.

Only
To
Him that

When

wrote
"Black
Rock"
his
beloved
West was
in the
making.
Then
came his
other

"The

Pilot,"
"The
Doctor,"
"The
Man from
Glengarry,"
"The
Patrol
of the

"The
Sky
Pilot in
No Man's
Land."
With the
war
there
was
unfolded
the
great
drama of
the
development
of a
great
people.
From the
early
days of
the
Canadian
Northwest
Ralph
Connor
had
beheld a
great
vision
of the
possibilities
of his
people.
That
vision
has come
true,
and the
world is
greatly
debtor
to that
stalwart
young
nation
in the
Northwest.
With the
maturity
of a
people
came
progress
and
responsibility
and
problems.
"To
Him that
Hath"
deals
with the
problems
of today
-- of
the
workers,
both
those
who
receive
and
those
who
pay.
In a
great
sympathetic
story,
Ralph
Connor
states
the case
for
equity
and
peace
and
goodwill
and
prescribes
a remedy
for the
aching
and
wounded
heart of
the
world:
for the
Canadian
Northwest
and all
other
honest
peoples.
A novel
of
purpose
-- yes
--
virile,
true and
constructive.
