PapinPs “Life of Christ.”
There is ng narritive a more
gripping appeal than Giovanni Papini's
“Life of Christ"—mted as of the
most engrossing volumes of the pres.
ent century. Papini was originally a
believer of Christ, but afterward drift-
ed into atheism. The World War
brought him to his knees before God
again, and he wrote “The Life of
Christ” with the awowed hope of turn-
ing the world again t, the Savior. The
power of the story on its readers may
be appreciated from the fact that half
a million copies have already been
sold here and abrond. With their us-
uml enterprise the Hearst newspapers
have sectired the exclusive rights for
the publication of this sublime sthry
which will begin in the New YorkBun-
day American next Sunday-—April 6th
~-and continue In the dally and Sunday
editions untlf completed. “The Life of
Christ” by Papini é the most notable
contribution to the literature of the
current century. and as a newspiper
serial, should command extraordinary
attention.
