ITS ORGANIZATION

ORDER, and DISCIPLINE

By J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH

Review and Herald Publishing Association, Washington, D. C.

PRICE. 25 CENTS

JUST OUT!

ALL REVIEW readers will appreciate this new and vitally important pamphlet. Its author is eminently qualified to prepare a work on church organization. He has been actively associated with our denominational work from its beginning. He has always been a close observer, and has made a special study of church organization. His manuscript was heartily approved before it was printed. This new pamphlet, therefore, comes from the press thoroughly sanctioned by those who are expected to pass upon a publication that deals so vitally with the affairs of the denomination.

It Contains Much Valuable Information

on subjects pertaining to church and denominational affairs. It will answer many questions that may have been perplexing to some in the past upon the following general subjects, which are treated minutely under natural subdivisions: The Church; The Foundation of the Church; The Church as a Building; The Head and the Body; The Shepherd and His Flock; The Under-shepherd and the Flock; The Vine and Its Branches; The Light of the World; Rulers; Rebuking Sin; Authority in the Church; Christ's Ambassadors; Unity of the Church; Order in the Ancient Church; Order in the Episcopal Church; Submission versus Creed; Power and Force; Calling out of the Last Church; Anarchy or Order: Which? Development of Order; Support of the Ministry; State Conferences; Delegate Conference and Church Organization; Numerical Representation and Committees; Caution to the Church; Timely Advice to the Church; Reorganization; Answers to Questions, etc.

The subject-matter of this pamphlet is no new man-made theory, but it is the condensed, formulated instruction given to the denomination in its development, arranged in convenient form for reference and study. It has been in preparation for several years, being first printed in the REVIEW during the years 1899 and 1900, and thoroughly criticized by the workers and leaders in the denomination, and by them approved in its perfected form. The following testimonial from the Treasurer of the Oklahoma Conference is a fair sample of many we might produce: “I remember several years ago our conference presidents carried a file of the REVIEW containing the articles on organization, that they might have the information given to impart to the churches. I think every family of Seventh-day Adventists should have this pamphlet. It ought to be the A B C book for all the churches.”

The work is rendered convenient and practical by a thorough index, which will enable one to turn at once to any portion of a subject. The pamphlet is of the ordinary size, 5 x 7¼ inches, and contains 184 pages, printed in clear type. Price, 25 cents, post-paid. A stock of the pamphlet will be kept by all State tract societies and all our publishing houses. Order through the regular channels.
