 The book is published under the auspices of the Colonial Danes of Connecticut, which organization has ever been active in keeping alive the interest in the early and stirring days of this commonwealth. Connecticut is riCL in material for such a volume and it is justly proud of it's colonial history, and the manner in which the various subjects in this volume have been treated should stimulate interest in seeking out and becom- ing more familiar with others, for a better knowledge of the early history of this state. Eastern Connecticut fig ures prominently in the various chap ters.

This epic was written with a two fold purpose; that of showing what a large part, Of the English Bible (il- lustrated by the Gospels) is poetry as it stand; and of presenting another view of the Son of NIan-perhaps in some ways similar to those already expressed and perhaps entirely differ ent. One does not tire of reading about Jesus; and by studying various books about him and his work one is able to clarify and increase ones own knowledge of him.
 The Gospels have been drawn from extensively in the preparation of this volume but with an attitude of sin cere reverence. with the utmost ad- miration and love for Jesus of Nag areth, his memory, his living power, which exercises such a tremendous part in the thought and the activity of the world today.

Jackson is also Included
in Program.

The feature offering at the Bijou to-
day, The Reckoning Flame" is a
Thomas H. Ince masterpiece and It is
wonderful production. The prin-
cipals in the cast are Henry Woodruff
and the beautiful Japanese actress,
Tsurll Aoki. This combination brings
out all the element Of high class and
artistic acting that the subject de-
mands. The story as related by Kip
ling is powerful and picturesque one
of old India. 1t is the kind Of vehicle
1nce likes to make, because It presents
such opportunities for scenic beauty
and superb photography. The desert
scenes and the burning Of the bungalo
in which the girl perishes are pictor-
tally perfect.
The comedy end of the bill is well
taken care OF by Joe Jackson with
Mack Swain and Vira Edwards. It Is
called "a Modern Enoch Arden" Joe
leaves his wife and family for Au-
STRATA, where a fortune awaits him,
is wrecked on the way and returns
to find his wife has married again.
Then the fun comes fast and furious.

lot Of new funny stunts.
