The Book of Esther

By Stephen N. Haskell

“THE decree which is to go forth against the people of God will be very similar to that issued by Ahasuerus against the Jews in the time of Esther. . . . The Protestant world to-day sees in the little company keeping the Sabbath a Mordecai in the gate.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. V, page 450.
With these statements before us, should we not carefully and prayerfully study the book of Esther? It is as much a book for the last days as Daniel or the Revelation. We need to know more than the simple story contained in the book. We need to make a thorough study of the whole book. It is an object-lesson of what the people of God are to experience in the near future.
In view of the importance of the book of Esther, we have prepared a series of Bible studies on this book, which will be published in The Bible Training School, beginning with the November number.
Four lessons will be given each month, allowing one study for each week in the month. We feel confident that if our fathers and mothers will take time each week to gather their households around them and spend an hour in the prayerful study of these lessons, it will strengthen them for the coming conflict. The lessons will be excellent for Bible reading circles or young people's meetings, or for any one who wishes to gain a knowledge of the valuable instruction contained in the book of Esther.
These lessons will be worth many times the price of The Bible Training School. If you are not already a subscriber to the paper, send 25 cents to The Bible Training School, South Lancaster, Mass., with the request that your year's subscription begin with the November number. The long winter evenings are coming, and God expects you to improve them by becoming better acquainted with his Word. S. N. HASKELL.
