The Fourth Volume.

By Editor

ALL who have read the three volumes of "The Great Controversy" (or Spirit of Prophecy, as it has been called) have looked forward with interest to the time when the fourth and closing volume would be completed. The period of history which it covers is one of deepest interest to every Christian, and the fact that the closing chapters relate the present duty and future experience of the people of God adds still greater interest to the volume. Most of the manuscript is now written, and the type is being set. A prospectus has been prepared, and we can speak confidently of the contents of volume four.

Several chapters are especially devoted to an exposure of the great deceptions by which the arch rebel has led the world captive, and to a vivid portrayal of his subtlety in introducing these heresies one by one into the church.

Earnest Christians of all denominations will find in it encouragement and instruction in the delineation of the struggle maintained by men raised up of God in each successive age to preserve the pure and true religion, and they will see that the world has been led to accept one after another of Satan's devices, till her teachers are corrupted with false doctrines and with infidelity.

While reading the manuscript of this volume, we have been deeply impressed with the importance of placing it, as soon as published, in the hands of thoughtful people of all sects and classes; therefore we have decided to employ agents and sell this with the three preceding volumes on the subscription plan.

If our agent fails to call on you, or if we have no agent in your locality, notify the publishers or the State Secretary of the S. D. A. Tract Society in your State, and our agent will be notified to call on you.
