“THE BIBLE STUDENT'S LIBRARY.”
By Editor
THE above is the title of a weekly publication issued by the Pacific Press Publishing Co., of Oakland, Cal. The design is to furnish in convenient form, separate from other matter, short and telling articles and treatises which will cover all the great and important doctrines of the Bible; such as salvation through Christ, Bible sanctification, the law and the gospel, the use and importance of prophecy, the second coming of Christ, the dangers and delusions of our times, National Reform, civil and religious liberty, the home of the redeemed, and many other subjects of interest and importance. In fact, the Library will be just what its name indicates, a help for Bible students. It will present no abstruse theories, but will deal with the great vital questions of God's word in a way which will help the unlearned as well as the more scholarly. The true method of interpretation will be followed; the Bible will be made to explain itself. Some of the first numbers will contain reprints of our standard tracts and pamphlets, others will be entirely new. All will be of the very best. The advantages to be gained by issuing this library are many:— 1. It will enable the publishers to furnish the matter to our Tract Societies, and others, at much lower rates than heretofore. Being regularly entered at the post-office as second class matter it can be mailed at pound rates. 2. They will be gotten out in a more attractive form than ever before,—each number being embellished with an engraved cover-page. 3. It will enable the Tract Societies, or anyone else, to order in any quantity and at any time. It will not be necessary to wait until 100 pounds or more are wanted. Small quantities can be sent at the same rate as large ones. 4. There will also be a great saving in point of time, as this publication will be sent by mail, while heretofore we have been obliged to ship everything as freight or pay excessive express or mail rates. It takes from three to six weeks to ship matter from Oakland to New York by freight, while the mail goes in about six days. 5. It will enable all those Tract Societies who are acting as News Agents to re-mail this publication to their agents or customers at pound rates (one cent a pound). These are some of the advantages to be gained by issuing this publication, and we bespeak for it a large circulation. If extra copies of a certain number are wanted at any time, they can be furnished at the same rate. Each number will contain from 8 to 200 pages and will vary in price from one to twenty-five cents, post-paid, according to the number of pages which each issue contains. Subscription price for the year, 52 numbers, $3.00. Orders for single numbers or subscription for the year should be addressed to Pacific Press Publishing Co., 12th and Castro Streets, Oakland, Cal., or 43 Bond Street, New York City.
