The First Tract

By E. R. Palmer

Every Seventh-day Adventist should read the first tract in the special series, and then give a genuine Adventist lift in circulating it. The following outline will indicate its scope and importance: —

WE WOULD SEE JESUS

The Name of Jesus.

We Would See Him, for We Love Him.

Yet We Would Not Now See Him as He WAS.

No; We Would See Him as He IS.

We Would See Him Coming in the Clouds.

And We Shall Be Like Him.

THE SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION OF THIS BLESSED HOPE

Christ has been here on earth once, and he has promised to come again.

The second advent of Christ is clearly foretold in the Old Testament.

Christ's coming will be personal, in the clouds of heaven, and every eye shall see him. He will come with all the holy angels, who will then gather the saints.

Only those who love and prepare for his appearing will then rejoice and be saved.

The righteous are then taken up to meet Christ in the clouds, who takes them to the city, New Jerusalem, which he has prepared for the saints.

All the living wicked will also see Christ, but with anguish, when he comes in glory, and will then be destroyed.

He Will Come for His Own.

A Glorious Climax of the Plan of Salvation.

Then Shall the Elect Be Gathered.

The Goodly Land.

The Place of Gathering.

We Must Be There.

EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS.

Send in your orders, brethren, and give this tract the great circulation which it merits. We regret exceedingly the delay caused by the destruction of our office; but no one will fail to appreciate the situation, and surely all will work harder because of it.

The next two tracts, “Signs of Our Times,” and “The Gospel Remedy for Present Day Isms,” are in the hands of the printers, and will soon be ready. No definite statement can be made this week concerning the fourth tract, “What Do These Things Mean?” Push the others in their order, and watch for further announcements.

All the tracts are sixteen pages. Price, one cent. E. R. Palmer.
