Schlüssel zum Himmelreich (1944)
Monsignore von Tweedside leitet Untersuchungen gegen Pastor Chrisholm, über den einige Beschwerden eingegangen sind. Zufällig geraten ihm die Tagebücher des Pastoren in die Hände und erfährt dort interessante Dinge: Einst arbeitete dieser in China als Missionar und erlitt Armut, Hunger, Krankheit und Elend. Doch nach und nach gewann er das Vertrauen der Chinesen, während ein alter Schulfreund mit List und Tücke immer höhere Ämter in der Kirche bekleidete. Gibt es ein Geheimnis hinter den Beschwerden gegen Pastor Chrisholm?
