An Opportunity for Patriarchs and Prophets

WE note with interest that many of the State agents are calling the special attention of the people in their States to the providential opening for the immediate sale of that excellent book, “Patriarchs and Prophets.” They cite the fact that on July 6 of the present year the International Sunday School Lessons take up the study of the Exodus, and continue through the remainder of the year on the study of the Sanctuary, and the general history of the Children of Israel, and that inasmuch as “Patriarchs and Prophets” is especially helpful on these subjects, and can be easily introduced as an excellent commentary on the International Lessons, the present circumstances render this time very favorable to the placing of this book in the homes of the Bible-studying people of this age.
This opportunity seems providential, and we hope that our people will not allow it to pass unimproved. Canvassers need not stop their regular work to take up this book, but our lay members can place it in the hands of the Sunday-school superintendents and teachers in their respective communities, with but little effort. A copy of the International Lessons should be secured and studied in connection with “Patriarchs and Prophets,” so that we may easily and clearly show wherein the book is especially helpful in the study of the Sunday-school lessons. A copy of these lessons may be secured from T. B. Arnold, 104 Franklin St., Chicago, Ill., for twenty-five cents, postpaid. This is an important opening, and every member of every church should improve it to the extent of his God-given ability, and should begin to do it now.
