Binders for the "Signs."
Although the Signs is used very extensively as a missionary paper, persons sending their own papers to friends, there are many who desire, and many more who ought, to keep it on file for future reference. To such the office can furnish a binder that will preserve the papers as neatly as when first received. The name "Signs of the Times," is in gilt letters on the outside. The binder is so arranged as to form as firm and substantial a book with only half a dozen papers inclosed, as when it contains the entire volume. We have used it for some time, and feel that it cannot be too highly ecommended. Send for one. Price, post-paid, $1.50.
Christ the Way of Life from Paradise Lost to Paradise Restored.
DRAWN BY HENRY SARTAIN; ENGRAVED AND PRINTED BY W. WELLSTOOD.
THE KEY
THE publishers take pleasure in announcing that this work is completed and is now ready for delivery.
The design of this engraving is to present at one view the leading events in the history of man as related to the divine plan of Redemption, from the time of the first sin and the fall, to the final restoration of the race, to the Paradise of God.
Its central figure is that of Christ hanging upon the cruel cross. By taking our position at the foot of the cross, we look backward in the history of man, and trace the steps which have led to the scenes of Calvary. The scenes which suggest the provisions of the gospel are enacted in the shadow of the cross, which is cast far back over the history of the race, reaching even to the gates of Eden.
In the middle distance of the picture are seen the ruins of pagan temples and the relics of heathenism, showing the decline of false religions before the true, which is yet to triumph over every form of error, and bear sway over all the universe.
At the right of the cross the scenes change. In the foreground we have the memorials of the gospel, baptism and the Lord's Supper, while in the distance appears Paradise Regained, the Many Mansions glistening in the light of heavenly glory.
The Way of Life as a work of art, commends itself to all lovers of the beautiful. Unlike many religious or allegorical pictures, this not only presents a sacred theme, but by its skillful grouping and its harmonious combination of light and shade, it delights the cultivated taste, and suggests abundant food for thought.
THE KEY.
An elegant 12 mo. pamphlet of 48 pages accompanies each engraving. This pamphlet contains a description of every part of the picture, and a most impressive article by Mrs. E. G. White, descriptive of the sufferings, betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection of our Lord.
Sold by subscription. Price, printed in first-class style on heavy plate paper, size 22x28 inches, $1.50. India Proofs, size 24x32 inches, $2.50.
Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation.
