The American Standard Edition of the Revised Bible

THE sale of the American Standard Edition of the Revised Bible still continues, and is increasing each week. A number of those who have received the book have written to us, expressing their high appreciation of it. One of our conference presidents says that he considers it the best revised translation of the Bible that has ever been published. Others speak in equally high terms concerning it. It is believed that this volume will bring the reader more closely into contact with the exact thought of the sacred writers than other translations. We give below a few of the changes noticed in the study of the Sabbath-school lessons recently, which seem to aid in a clearer understanding of the texts:—

Authorized Version

Dan. 1:8: “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank.”
Dan. 1:15: “And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.”
Dan. 2:30: “But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king.”
Dan. 7:9: “I beheld till the thrones were cast down,” etc.

American Revision

Dan. 1:8: “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank.”
Dan. 1:15: “And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king’s dainties.”
Dan. 2:30: “As for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king.”
Dan. 7:9: “I beheld till thrones were placed,” etc.
Many other texts might be cited in which the change of a word or two leads to a clearer understanding of the Scripture.

The Republics of Rome and the United States

THE history of these great republics and the principal facts pertaining to their future are contained in the three important works entitled “Two Republics,” “The Peril of the Republic,” and “The Supremacy of Peter.”

Two Republics

Many of the leading men of the country are familiar with the value and importance of these books. Hon. W. T. Tolley, ex-senator, of Tennessee, says of the “Two Republics:” “If I had $10,000 to donate to the cause of popular intelligence and sound, wholesome reading, I would freely give it in aid of the circulation of this masterly work.”

The Supremacy of Peter

Of “The Supremacy of Peter,” the Midland Presbyterian says: “This valuable addition to the field of Biblical and historical study merits a wide circulation. It is a volume of great interest to every believer in the apostolic writings, and many questions are answered in a concise and forceful manner which will make them plain to the hitherto skeptical reader. . . . The author has gleaned his information from a field which but few have the opportunity to enter, and the reader is enabled to survey the results and conclusions without deep study.”

The Peril of the Republic

Many of the leading men of the country have spoken of “The Peril of the Republic” in the highest praise. They do not hesitate to say that this excellent work should be in the homes of all the people to warn them of the dangers that destroyed the Eastern nations, and to bind them to the principles upon which the safety of our government depends.
Each missionary society should have these books to loan and to keep in circulation in its neighborhood, and every reader of the REVIEW should be familiar with all the important facts composing these volumes.

Prices

The “Two Republics” is rated at from $1.80 to $4.75. The cloth, marble-edge style is a substantial binding. It sells for $2.50, postpaid.
“The Supremacy of Peter,”—the regular price of this book is $1, but we will send it, postpaid, to our readers for a time for 60 cents.
“The Peril of the Republic,”—the original price of this book was also $1, but we have reduced the price to 50 cents, postpaid.

The Empire Series

IN 1896 Elder Alonzo T. Jones published “The Empires of the Bible,” the first volume of the Empire series; the second volume, “The Great Empires of Prophecy,” was published in 1898; and the third volume, “Ecclesiastical Empire,” was issued last year. These are three very important books, and should be not only read, but carefully studied by every member of every church.
“The Empires of the Bible” traces the history from the origin of nations to the captivity of Judah, and carefully reveals the causes of the rise and the fall of these early peoples. The Biblical records, together with secular history and modern research, establish the manner of the development of the great empires of Egypt and Assyria, and the founding of the races from which the great nations of later times developed.
The reader is greatly assisted in the study of this work by the twenty-one colored maps made especially for this book. There are 410 large pages. Size of book, 6 x 9½ x 1¼ inches. Bound substantially in cloth. Price, $1.50, postpaid.
“The Great Empires of Prophecy” is a history of the great nations of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia, and Rome. Gleanings of the most important and interesting histories are herein compiled, to set forth the real influences that caused the prosperity and the decay of each of these great nations. On account of the great number of noted historians quoted in this work, it might be appropriately termed a cyclopedia of history, and a ready book of reference.
It contains 712 pages and 22 full-page colored maps. Nicely bound in cloth. Size, 6½ x 9½ x 1½ inches. Price, $2, postpaid.
“Ecclesiastical Empire” contains the account of all the principal events that have affected the civil governments and tended to the establishment of ecclesiastical authority, from the time of the fall of Rome to the publishing of this book, in 1901. It contains a good history of the Reformation; a Compendium of the Principles of True Christianity; the Reason for Our National Apostasy, and a full treatise upon the Union of Church and State.
This book contains 874 pages. Substantially bound in cloth. Size, 6¼ x 9 x 2¼ inches. Price, $2.50, postpaid.
This series contains 1,996 pages of the most important historical matter, especially prepared and condensed for the use of those who do not have access to the original histories, and who have not the time to search out these facts had they the books. The combined price of these volumes is only $6, postpaid.

Here and Hereafter

THE leading theological question of to-day is the immortality of the soul. Many of the prominent ministers in all the churches are writing upon this question, and are giving expression to their convictions. Their sermons and their writings are constantly calling the attention of the public to these important questions, and the people are becoming interested in the study of the nature of man.
“Here and Hereafter” is the title of a book by Uriah Smith, on “Man in Life and Death; The Reward of the Righteous and the Destiny of the Wicked.” Wherever this book has gone in the past, it has defeated Spiritualism, which appeals to the popular view of the condition of man in death as a foundation of its claims. It reveals the teachings of the Scripture so clearly that purgatory, saint worship, Universalism, and a host of other errors which are based on the immortality of the soul, are shown to have no divine origin and no Scriptural right to exist. The entire doctrine of the immortality of the soul is traced from its origin to its ultimate end—Spiritualism.
Every church should have a number of these books to loan to those who cannot buy them, and every member of every church should sell this book to his neighbors at this favorable time. The size of the book is 5 x 7¾ x ¾ inches. It contains 357 pages, is neatly bound in cloth, and sells for $1, postpaid.
