The Acts of the Apostles

By Editor

Patriarchs and Prophets Desire of Ages # The Acts of the Apostles Great Controversy
THE great chain of light for the church to-day is lengthened and strengthened by the addition of the beautiful new book "The Acts of the Apostles," by Mrs. E. G. White, of which more than three thousand copies have gone out during the past four weeks.
Of its mission, the publishers' preface to the book speaks as follows:
"To her wonderfully instructive volumes in this series, 'Patriarchs and Prophets,' 'The Desire of Ages,' and 'The Great Controversy,' the author has added 'The Acts of the Apostles,' a record of God's witnesses subsequent to the life of our Lord.
"By this Spirit-aided book a flood of light is thrown upon the apostolic church and its momentous meaning to us of this time. The church militant demands the church triumphant. Through all her warfare, her trials, her defeats, she has seen the vision of victory. Above all the discordant noises of earth, she has heard the ringing, cheering voice of her Captain. He who suffered for her children is choosing them to reign with Him. He who came in humiliation to die, the Suffering One, is coming again in glory, the Regnant One forever."
Truly, from the first chapter, "God's Purpose for His Church," to the closing, "The Church Triumphant," the light contained in the struggles and victories of the past is shed forth to those upon whom rests the work of carrying forward the Message of Truth to-day.
This is why ministers, Bible workers, teachers, church workers, and lay members, everywhere—all of whom are equally interested in the triumph of the Gospel—will deeply appreciate this new book. Its fifty-eight chapters are:
