Sabbath-School Lessons

The Sabbath-school lessons for the fourth quarter are a continuation of the “Studies in the Gospel Message,” and will be especially interesting and important. In view of the rapid advance of Roman Catholicism in this country, the study of the following subjects is most timely: The Fourth Kingdom and the Little Horn, Modern Babylon, The Perversion of Christianity in Modern Babylon, The Kingdom of Antichrist, Changing the Law of the Kingdom of God, Taking Away the Real Presence, The Two Mysteries. The other subjects taken up are based upon the prophecies of the seventh and eighth chapters of Daniel, involving a study of the judgment, the cleansing of the sanctuary, and other prominent features of present truth. Certainly no one can afford to miss these lessons. Sabbath-school workers and church elders should make every effort to secure a full attendance at the Sabbath school, and see that each one is supplied with the Quarterly. Sabbath-school supplies should be ordered at once from your State Tract Society, or from the Review and Herald Publishing Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Lesson Helps

The following-named books are quoted in the series of lessons prepared for the fourth quarter. In addition to D’Aubigné’s “History of the Reformation,” and the two Catholic books, “Catholic Belief” and “Doctrinal Catholic Catechism,” we have—

The Great Empires of Prophecy

This is a complete history covering the period from the establishment of the Babylonian kingdom to the fall of the Roman empire, and thoroughly treating upon the prophecies of the great empires in the book of Daniel. It is, in fact, a cyclopedia of history for the period covered; for it contains the combined testimony of nearly one hundred of the standard authorities. All the principal and important facts in history concerning Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia, and Rome, and the ten divisions of the Roman empire, are arranged in convenient form in this book, and with these historical facts the Scriptural teachings are properly associated.

The book is the result of much research and hard work. It was written by Alonzo T. Jones, and is one of his best works. It ought to be in the homes of all the people. It contains 712 large pages, with colored maps made especially for it. Nicely bound in one style. Price, $2, postpaid.

Patriarchs and Prophets

This work is an excellent commentary on the principal Bible subjects from Adam to the death of David, and especially helpful in the study of the sanctuary and its services.

This is the book that is attracting so much attention at the present time among the Sunday-school people throughout the United States. The International Sunday-school Lessons for the last half of the present year are upon Old Testament topics, principal among which are the Exodus, the Law, the Giving of the Manna, the Sabbath, etc., and the fact that “Patriarchs and Prophets” treats all these subjects in an especially interesting manner, brings the book prominently before the Bible-studying element in all sections of the country.

The intelligent people of the nation appreciate the divine facts and principles revealed in this full commentary of the Scriptures it covers, and our REVIEW readers should not only have a copy for themselves, but they should do all in their power to place it in the hands of their fellow men. Its author is Mrs. E. G. White. It contains 760 large pages, illustrated. Price, from $2.25 to $4.50.

Story of Daniel the Prophet

This is a book of 295 pages, written by Elder S. N. Haskell, and is especially good for the young people to study in connection with their Sabbath-school lessons.

Interwoven with the thrilling biography of Daniel and his three companions, the Biblical and the historical facts pertaining to the four great prophetic nations are effectually recorded. The young enjoy this arrangement of the subject-matter of this volume. The cost of the book, 75 cents, is small when contrasted with its actual value.

These books can all be secured of the State Tract Societies, or of the Review and Herald Publishing Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
