By F. C. Gilbert, a converted Jew. The central thought of this book is to present Jesus Christ as He is, Saviour, Messiah, Prophet, Priest, King, which was the specific mission God had for the Jewish nation. The customs and traditions of the Jews are given, as well as many of their laws and commandments to which Christ so often referred. Especial attention, however, is given to the Sanctuary and its services, as is evident from the following chapter headings:
God's Purpose in Building the Sanctuary, Why the Law Was Given on Sinai,
The Articles of Furniture in the Sanctuary, The Priesthood and the Offerings,
The Festivals and the Fasts, The Festivals and the Feasts.
The book contains 400 pages, and is fully illustrated. Cloth, plain edges, $1.00; Cloth with gilt edges, $1.25.
Looking unto Jesus
Or Christ in Type and Antitype
Another work of merit is the one with the above title, by the late Uriah Smith. He goes deeply into the Sanctuary Question, showing clearly what the great sacrificial system symbolized, and explaining in detail the priesthood, service, and offerings. Some of the points particularly interesting, as used in connection, are the atonement, the incarnation, the cleansing of the sanctuary, work of the judgment, finishing the mystery of God, the close of probation, the seven last plagues, and the end of sin. Fully illustrated, and will prove most interesting and highly profitable to the reader. 290 pages. Cloth, plain edges, $1.00; paper covers, 25 cents.
Daniel and the Revelation
The Sanctuary Question is so closely interwoven with the prophecies that to study one you must study the other. Therefore we recommend Elder Uriah Smith's book with the above title. In it he presents the response of history to the voice of prophecy. He takes up these important prophetic books verse by verse and studies them with the reader in a way that invites his confidence and compels his closest attention from the beginning. It is a volume of 757 pages, exclusive of numerous full page engravings. The price is $2.50, in cloth.
Christ Our Advocate
His Work in the True Tabernacle
This pamphlet, by M. H. Brown, treats the Sanctuary Question in a very clear and comprehensive way. It tells all about the sanctuary service as conducted anciently, the priesthood, high priest, the various offerings and their significance, the meaning of the cleansing of the sanctuary, and gives an interpretation of the 2,300 days. It shows how all the earthly service was a type of the work now going on in heaven by our Great High Priest, where He is interceding in our behalf. Besides the numerous illustrations, there are several very valuable diagrams, explaining periods of time given in connection with the Sanctuary Question. 112 pages. Price, 10 cents.
