A BOOK FOR THE TIMES.

It is worse than a waste of time to study aught but truth. The shortness of life and the multiplicity of its duties render it impossible for any one to read even a tithe of the books that are printed. As this life is given us as a probationary season in which to prepare for eternity, it is profitable to fill our minds with that which will fit us for enjoying the future life.

One of the books which, while giving entertainment, is instructive and elevating to an eminent degree, is "The Great Controversy between Christ and Satan." The scope of the book is wide; the style, tho simple, is eloquent and fascinating, all the while appealing to the mind as the utterance of truth. Beginning with the siege and destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, the reader is taken down through the early history of the Christian Church, the great apostasy, the persecutions of the faithful, the history of the Waldenses, and the various epochs of special reformation, to our own time. Then is taken up the fulfilment of prophecy, the subjects of The Sanctuary, The Law of God, The Snares of Satan, The Aims of the Papacy, Spiritualism, The Impending Conflict, The Time of Trouble, God's People Delivered, The Judgment, and other themes pertaining to the close of this age. As a dissertation on the Scriptures and a synopsis of history pertaining to the times specified, this work has no equal. The prices are as follows:—
