The Charts.

By James White

The charts are both in the hands of the artist, and the work on them is progressing as fast as possible. We shall probably have some of them ready by the middle of October.

The prophetic chart will be much improved in arrangement from the one in use. The sanctuary and angels will be larger and bolder, so that all the figures upon the chart can be seen equally plain. From what we have already seen of the work, we judge that it will be a beautifully executed thing. The price of this chart, with a key or book of explanations, will be $2.

The Law-of-God chart will be the same size of the prophetic chart, beautifully executed, with the tables of the testimony on the left hand of the short commandments, and the ark of the testimony on the right. The price of this chart will be $1,50.

These will be becoming ornaments to the best room of any believing family, and will serve as a happy introduction to the subject of present truth to those who call on them.

Two years since these charts could have been published for less than half their present cost. Labor has advanced one half, and cloth, the principal item of expense, that could have been bought two years since for ten cents, is now thirty.

Only $273,60, have yet been donated for the charts. This sum, with all that may be donated in the future to this object, will finally go to the Publishing Association. The charts will cost not less than $2500. We shall try to hire the money and complete them as soon as possible.

All orders from New England, New York, and Pennsylvania, should be addressed to Eld. James White, Topsham, Me. Those from elsewhere should be addressed to us at Battle Creek, Mich. One-fourth discount and transportation paid, by the hundred. All orders must be accompanied with the money. Ministers who want the charts to sell on time, and those brethren who can let us have a few hundred dollars for a few months, will please address us during the month of October, at Topsham, Me.
