I “THE FLAME WITHIN.” | Starring Ann Harding ami Herbert I | Marshall. “The Flame Within,” a tense emotional drama is coming tonight to the Majestic Theatre. The film is based on a psychological story, concerned with the mental reactions of a neurotic patient to the specialist who cures him. Ann Harding plays the ; ' part of the young woman too engrossed j in her work as a doctor to find time for ; love. The young doctor in love with . her has had to wait a very long time already when the talc commences, yet he has not lost heart. The case in which Ann is working is that of a girl who has fallen madly for an attractive hypochondriac; he is wholly sunken in drink ami she regards both their lives i as ruined. She tried to commit suicide. Ann undertakes to cure her, and psycho analyses the case. She semis the I girl away, and concentrates on perI suading Jack to abandon his delcteriI oils hobbv. After many relapses, sueI seems in sight, but with his recov- ■ • • further f-oniplieations arise. i GOLF NOTES I T.'. i HA I’l; GOLF ■ I.l'o i During next v.eek-eml the lir-t of / the three qualifying rounds lur the j-enior ami junior championships will ( be nlaved in conjunction with the first * round of the Shcrgold Cup competition.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE ' 1 SOCIETY | The annual meeting of the Taihape ■ branch of the British and foreign Bible 1 Society was held in the Parish Hall on > Thursday evening last. J The president, Dr. G. N Mac Diarmid, in reviewing the work of the past year, 1 paid a very warm tribute to the collectors on the result of the year’s ef- ■ fort, when the sum of £2O 2s 9d was « realised. The result was most grati- - fyinjL he said, and the thanks of the > ciety were due to all the subscribers * .0 the Taihape district whose generosity had been responsible for this splen- ( did result. Remarking that the British ami For- ( • ign Bible Society was one of the ' greatest institutions in the world for < spreading Christianity, Dr Mac Diarmid said they were very happy indeed to be associated with this great work. Onlythrough Christianity could the brotherhood of man be understood and realised 1 by all nations, and surely at no time | 1 in the history of the world was this { ' more needed than to-day. i - The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Dr. G. Mac Diarmid; 1 vice-presidents, Revs. E. T. King, J. Abbott, G. Goodman, Captain Bruns- V kill, and Messrs L. B. de Latour, and D. Gordon; committee.
