"Among the most expressive and beautiful words of the English language, is the noble, tender term, 'Home.' Among the sweetest songs ever sung by loving lips, is 'Home, Sweet Home,' given to a needy world by one who never had a home, yet whose heart ever cried out for what the world never gave him. His very homelessness voiced sweeter and deeper the longing of every true human heart."—Extract from Preface of "Heralds of the Morning."
This book is written with the "great home coming" in view. It shows the relation of current events to the "home over there." Necessarily it treats upon some of the discouraging things of this time, but it always does it in a way to show their significance. It teaches us to look upon them as signs of the better day—as heralds of the morning. The following is a partial list of its chapters:
The Social Vice
Ye Have Heaped Treasure for the Last Days
And the Nations Were Angry
The Voice of the Elements
The Testimony of the Earth
Our Refuge and Fortress
It contains nearly four hundred pages and is bound in substantial cloth. Price, post-paid, $1.75.
Great Controversy
This volume presents the most wonderful and intensely interesting history that has ever been written of the great conflict between Christianity and the Powers of Darkness, as illustrated in the lives of Christian martyrs and reformers on the one hand, and wicked men and persecuting powers on the other.
Beginning with our Lord's great prophecy given while viewing Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, this book outlines the whole history of the dispensation down to the time spoken of in the closing paragraph when,—
"The great controversy is ended. Sin and sinners are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is Love."
In the Preface we read:
"In the great final conflict, Satan will employ the same policy, manifest the same spirit, and work for the same end, as in all preceding ages. That which has been will be, except that the coming struggle will be marked with a terrible intensity such as the world has never witnessed."
With these facts in mind, the author has selected such events in the history of the struggle of the church as foreshadow the conflict just before it, and has so treated them as to make their meaning clear to all. The chapters devoted entirely to the continuation and culmination of this conflict are as follows:
The Impending Conflict
The Final Warning
The Time of Trouble
God's People Delivered
The Desolation of the Earth
The Great Controversy Ended
These chapters particularly should be read by all interested in the final triumph of right principles. The work contains more than 700 pages, and is strongly bound in cloth at $2.50.
Also published in Danish, Swedish, German, and French.
