The above cut is a reduced facsimile of the first cover-page of this new tract. It is number 40 of the Words of Truth Series, and is the same size as the last four new tracts, numbers 36, 37, 38, 39, of this series. It is composed of one of Spurgeon's sermons on the perpetuity of the law of God, written in two parts. The full tract was printed in the last two issues of the REVIEW in order that our readers may see the soundness and the present importance of the facts Spurgeon gives to the world, relative to the abiding nature of the law of God, and to induce them to join us in an earnest, continued effort to place this tract in as many homes as possible.
While it does not mention the Sabbath as an institution, in the complete establishment of the perpetuity of the law it fixes the question of the Sabbath in the minds of all who read it, and it does it without controversy. It is, therefore, an excellent tract to use to bring the Sabbath question prominently before the people.
It is a tract that will not create prejudice, but will be welcomed and appreciated by the great majority of people, on account of the popularity of the author.
It is the best thing on the subject of the law that any of our publishing houses has ever produced. The language is simple, clear, forcible, and convincing. Any one reading the tract can not avoid being impressed with the conviction that the law of God is perpetual.
“You will all want to obtain a supply of tract No. 40 of the Words of Truth Series,—‘The Perpetuity of the
Law of God,’—by C. H. Spurgeon. The great English preacher treats this momentous subject in a masterly manner, and his argument carries conviction with it, his language having all that clearness and force for which he was noted. He makes the absolute certainty of the law's perpetuity stand out like a mountain looming out of the sea, so that no unprejudiced mind, even though unlearned, can fail to see it. This tract ought to win multitudes to the truth which is so vital a part of the third angel's message.”

The picture below is a reduced copy of the portrait of the author, printed on the second page of the tract.
The name of Charles Haddon Spurgeon is well known among the members of every denomination, and throughout the world at large. He was acknowledged to be the greatest of English preachers in his time. His opinion is regarded as good authority in theological science.
Beginning his work as a Baptist minister in his sixteenth year, 1850, in Cambridge, England, he continued a faithful, devoted, and powerful ministry until his death in 1892. So great was this man of God that thousands of all classes flocked into his church at every service, and every sermon was published, and thousands of copies sent broadcast to various parts of the earth. His words contained in our tract on the perpetuity of the law of God will do a mighty work in the land to-day if they can be placed in the homes of the people.
