One Fight More by Alan Thornhill

One Fight More is a pen portrait of B. H. Streeter, the great scholar and thinker. His friend Alan Thornhill tells here the story of Streeter's last, eventful years, as he battled to bring home to the nations a philosophy that can remake the-world.

—

B. H. Streeter, Provost of The Queen's College, Oxford, and Canon of Hereford, was ever a fighter.

As a young man he created ferment and fury by his provocative writings on science and religion. To-day his views are widely accepted.

When, as a man of world reputation, Streeter felt impelled to work with the Oxford Group, he was not deterred by criticism or caution.

He took up the fight in what he believed to be "the only movement which faced the full danger of the world situation."

"One Fight More" interprets faithfully, vividly, compellingly, this lovable man and his mature thought on national and world problems. It is written by one who, as fellow don and fellow traveller, was much with Streeter in his last five years.

Those who enjoy reading vivid biography, or feeling a keen mind at grips with problems which concern us all, those who are interested in religion, education, politics or international affairs should read this book.

FOREWORD

“Everyone loved B. H. Streeter, the scholar-statesman, with his great mind and his simple heart; not least Alan Thornhill, who was so much with him, working and travelling, during his last years. This book is a sketch of those crowded fruitful years before the sudden dramatic home-going.

Thornhill gives us the living heart of the man. He interprets for us the mature thought on world problems which B. H. planned to give in a new book. For B. H. often talked with Thornhill of the book he had in mind and of the philosophy which was to be its core and message. It is a philosophy which can save civilization.

He lived those years in the very spirit of Browning's lines :—

"The journey is done and the summit attained

And the barriers fall,

Though a battle's to fight ere the guerdon be gained,

The reward of it all.

I was ever a fighter, so—one fight more,

The best and the last !"

B. H. was ever a fighter. He fought for a new world. He saw his goal afar off and his battle brought it nearer. We are left to gain it.
