BOOKS THAT ARE SELLING

PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS, or the Great Conflict between Good and Evil, as Illustrated in the Lives of Holy Men of Old.

By Mrs. E. G. White.

This book treats upon the themes of Bible history—themes not in themselves new, but so presented here as to give them a new significance. Beginning with the rebellion in heaven, the author shows why sin was permitted, why Satan was not destroyed, and why man was tested, gives a thrilling description of man’s temptation and fall, and rehearses the plan of redemption devised for his salvation. The life of each of the patriarchs, from Adam to King David, is carefully scanned, and from each a lesson is drawn. This volume traces the great conflict between good and evil from its inception down through the centuries to the time of David’s death, and shows God’s wonderful love for mankind by His dealings with the “holy men of old.” The book contains over 760 octavo pages. It is printed from clear new electrotypes, on a fine quality of tinted paper. Its pages are adorned with more than 50 engravings, over 30 of which are full page, and many were designed and engraved especially for this book, and at great expense, by an artist in Paris, France. Sold only by subscription. Complete outfit 90 cts., post-paid.

THE GREAT CONTROVERSY BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN.

By Mrs. E. G. White.

This volume presents the most wonderful and intensely interesting history that has ever been written of the great conflict between Christianity and the powers of darkness, as illustrated in the lives of Christian martyrs and reformers on the one hand, and wicked men and persecuting powers on the other. Beginning with our Lord’s great prophecy given while viewing Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, this book outlines the history of the whole dispensation down to the time when “sin and sinners are no more, God’s entire universe is clean, and the great controversy is forever ended.” It contains 39 full-page illustrations, nearly all of them new and specially engraved. It is printed on fine tinted paper, beautifully and substantially bound, and contains 700 octavo pages. Nearly two hundred thousand copies have already been sold. Sold by subscription only. Canvassing outfit 90 cts., post-paid.

PROPHECIES OF JESUS.

By Elder J. G. Matteson.

This book was first published in Swedish and Danish, and has run through several editions in those languages. It has been thoroughly revised by the author, with careful attention to its adaptability to the English-speaking people; and additional matter of a peculiarly timely character has been added.

It is divided into four parts. Part 1 treats on the prophetic utterances of Christ. Part 2 takes up the predictions of the apostles, and marks their fulfilment. Part 3 treats on the great prophecies of Daniel, and gives the historical evidence of their fulfilment. Part 4 treats on the prophecies of John as recorded in the Revelation.

“Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow,” is the basis of thought all through the book, and that part of the prophecy referring especially to our time is carefully dwelt upon. The book contains 566 pages, printed on finely-calendered paper, and is embellished with thirty-four full-page illustrations. Canvassing outfit 90 cts., post-paid.

Of great importance to every American citizen. A comparative history of the two greatest republics, Rome and the United States.
