Sketches from the Life of Paul.
By Editor
THIS is the title of a book of 334 pages, just issued from this office. The writer, Mrs. E. G. White, is favorably known to all the readers of the SIGNS, and when we say that this book is written in the same interesting style as the articles from her pen, which appear from week to week on the first page of this paper, and the "Great Controversy," from which we have so frequently quoted, we need give it no further recommendation. We have given this book a thorough examination, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it a very valuable work. The history of Paul's life, from the time when he "made havoc" of the church until he was "offered up" as its chief representative, is traced in a clear and connected manner. Paul's allusions to himself in his epistles are connected with the record in the book of Acts in such a manner as to throw great light both on the epistles and the "Acts." But that which gives the book even greater value than its historical accuracy, is the lessons that are drawn from Paul's words, and the hardships which he endured, and their practical application to our own times. This is a marked feature of this book, and the instruction given in this way, is worth many times the price paid. Those who are studying the Sabbath-school lessons in the Youth's Instructor will at once recognize the importance of this book as an aid in preparing their lessons; and all who are interested in Bible study, or who wish to become informed as to the manner in which the first churches were established, will find this an invaluable help. Price, 80 cents. For sale at this office, and at the office of the Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.
