“The Way of Life.”

By E. R. Palmer

IN the homes of many of the older families of Seventh-day Adventists may be seen an impressive picture entitled “The Way of Life,” representing sin and its remedy, from Paradise lost to Paradise restored. Study and wonderment as to the meaning of the emblems in this picture are among my earliest childhood recollections.

When “Bible Readings for the Home Circle” was revised, this picture, developed and greatly beautified by our artist, was used as the closing picture of this beautiful volume. This picture is used by colporteurs to impress the whole scope of truth presented in this book.

We have felt deeply impressed, both from the beauty of this picture and from the evident love of our people for the old one, that this drawing, if perfected and enlarged for framing, would become a great factor in the homes of the people for impressing the truths of the third angel’s message. We have believed, also, that many colporteurs would wish to sell this picture as a help in connection with the sale of the book; therefore, as an experiment, 5,000 copies have been printed as announced in the REVIEW AND HERALD of June 8, 1916. The price is 25 cents, subscription book discount. It is a beautiful thing. It should be hung on the wall of every Seventh-day Adventist home, and doubtless it will become an impressive witness for the truth in many homes. Books are sometimes laid away unread, but a picture like this will daily tell its beautiful story of the truth to the hearts of the people.
