A New and Important Work.

By Joseph Harvey Waggoner

I HAVE recently examined the manuscript of a work which will soon be issued by the Publishing Association in Battle Creek, entitled, “The Bible from Heaven.” It is written by Eld. D. M. Canright, and will make a book of 300 pages or more.

Infidelity is very bold and defiant in this age, and many honest ones who have not had opportunity to examine the subject with care are staggered by the bold assertions of infidels that we lack proof of the authenticity and divine origin of the Bible. Most of these assertions are made in utter ignorance of the subject. But lovers of the Bible and its precious truths ought not to be ignorant of the strength of the foundations of their faith. And fortunately they need not be, for the evidence is abundant and easy to be obtained.

Though this work of Eld. Canright’s does not pretend to exhaust the evidence or to supersede larger works on the same subject, we think no one can read it without wondering why more evidence than it contains should be required by any one. We believe no one can read it without being benefited and having his faith greatly strengthened in the foundations of our holy religion.

It is expected to have it issued in time for the coming camp-meetings. We have no doubt it will meet a ready sale, and we bespeak for it a careful reading by all. J. H. WAGGONER.
