LIFE SKETCHES.

Ancestry, Early Life, Christian Experience, and Extensive Labors of ## ELDER JAMES WHITE, AND HIS WIFE, MRS. ELLEN G. WHITE.

Nearly the last literary labor of the late Elder James White was the production of the above-named work. It comprises a sketch of his life, and his public labors in connection with those of his wife, Mrs. E G. White, and presents a comprehensive history of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination which he, more than any other man, was instrumental in founding. Almost the entire period of his active public labors having been occupied in the promulgation of the Advent doctrine and kindred subjects, and much of that labor having been devoted to spreading the knowledge of what is now known as the “Third Angel’s Message,” the work is necessarily to quite an extent a history of that message from its earliest inception to the present time.

The life of a public man is always of interest, even to the general reader, but when that life is closely interwoven with the details of a conspicuous religious movement, it becomes doubly interesting, and especially so to those who have an interest in the movement itself.

The book abounds in interesting incidents, personal sketches, and religious experiences, some of which are quite remarkable, and altogether it forms a volume at once instructive and entertaining.

Printed on tinted paper, 416 pp., with portrait of Mr. and Mrs White. Muslin bound, price, $1.25.
