Such is the title of a new work by Alonzo T. Jones. The following list of chapter headings will give an outline of its contents:— The Essentials of Knowledge. The Secret of the Great Apostasy. The Greek or “Scientific Method” To-day. The Separation of Christianity and the State. The Bible's Right to Supreme Place in Christian Education. What was Taught in the Schools of the Prophets. The Study of Mental Science. The Study of Moral Science. The Study of Physical Science. The Study of Physical Science—Anatomy. The Study of Physical Science—Healing. The Study of Physical Science—Physical Culture. Literature, History, Law, Logic. The Failures of Popular Education. This is an excellent companion volume to the book “Education,” by Mrs. E. G. White, which was advertised a few weeks ago, but it does not in any way take its place. It contains 248 pages, and is bound in paper at 25 cents and cloth at 75 cents. The following is from the opening chapter of the above pamphlet, and indicates the direct method of argument used by the author in dealing with this important subject. “The Bible mentions two laws, the one changeless and eternal, the other provisional and temporary. There are many who try to blend these two systems using the texts that speak of the ceremonial law to prove that the moral law has been abolished; but this is a perversion of the Scriptures. The distinction between the two systems is broad and clear. “The investigation of this matter will begin with Heb. 7:12. It reads as follows, ‘For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.’ Here we are informed that some law is changed, and that it is changed of necessity. . . . Great stress is laid on the word ‘necessity’. This word shows that the change is not an optional one, but one which, under the conditions there existing, must be inevitable. And right here is the index finger which points out definitely, clearly, and forcefully the law under consideration, and forever separates the two systems to which reference has already been made. “It is not a self-evident truth that, when the change of one thing makes necessary, or, in other words, compels, the change of another, the second thing—the one whose change is forced by the change of the first—must depend upon that first thing for its existence? . . . Therefore, the law which was ‘of necessity’ changed, must have been a dependent one.” This pamphlet contains 50 pages. A new shipment of books from New York contains a supply of dainty little volumes with titles given above. They are 2½x3 inches in size and contain a text and poetical selection for every day in the year. An appropriate birthday gift. Price 20 cents, post-paid. Address Your State Tract Society
