Its Organization, Order, and Discipline

OUR readers do not want to overlook the fact that the book for the present is “The Church: Its Organization, Order, and Discipline,” by Elder J. N. Loughborough. Of this pamphlet, Elder George I. Butler, president of the Southern Union Conference, says: “The book covers two main features. The first part gives a very full and complete summary of the Scriptural teaching with reference to the church and its work. The second part enters into the real history of our cause previous to organization, recording the facts that led up to the organization, and giving a careful statement of the history of the work of organization and its practical benefits in the progress of our cause. The summary of questions growing out of the subject of organization is worthy of careful study, and will be a great help to many of our younger members who are not familiar with the phases of this important subject. The answers are most excellent.”

The subject-matter composing this pamphlet is no new man-made theory, but is the condensed, formulated instruction given to the denomination during its development, arranged in condensed form for reference and study. It is rendered convenient and practical by a thorough index, which will enable one to turn at once to a question of a subject. It contains 18 pages, printed in clear type; price, 5 cents, post-paid.
