“STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES.*
Six Wonderful Bible Keys, by
Pastor Russell of Brooklyn.
P.y now our readers doubtless feel
well acquainted with Pastor Russell
through his sermons, which we pub
lish weekly In common with more than
three hundred of the leading Ameri
can and Canadian journals.
We are advised that many of our
readers already have the Pastor’s cele
brated books In their homes and
using them effectively, to their de
light and Intellectual and spiritual
profit. It must be so, since there are
in circulation about three millions of
copies of the first volume, “The Divine
Plan." The Bible and Tract Society
of Brooklyn, N. Y., publishes the vol
umes at cost price so as to secure for
them a wide circulation. This brings
them within the reach of all.
Bet 1., three vols. handsomely
bound, over 3,100 pages, are supplied
post or express charges prepaid, for sl.
Bet 11., three vols. to match, near
ly 1,900 pages, go for $1.20.
Buch works, at such abnormally
low ratfs, naturally attract some
money-lovers who seek to sell for SIG
fthe two sets) what costs them but $2.20
The Bible and Tract Society desires
to warn all that it is unnecessary to
pay such a price;—that If Pastor Rus
sell’s Studies in the Scriptures” can
not be obtained otherwise more con
veniently they will be pleased to sup
ply all orders direct from Brooklyn
Tabernacle at the prices given above.
Some Still Remember "Bill Arp."
Buch will be Interested In th«
"Southern Philosopher's" review oi
th* first volume of Series I. He wrote
some time before he died:
"It Is Impossible to read this book
without loving the writer and ponder
ing Ills wonderful solution of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all oui
lives. There is hardly a family to b<
found tiutt has not lost some loved on*
who died outside the church —outside
the plan of salvation, and, if Calvinism
bo true, outside <tf all hope arid inside
of eternal torment and despair. We
smother our feelings and turn away
from the horrible picture. We dare not
d«Tiy the faith of our fathers, and yet
can it be possible that the good mothei
and the wandering child are forevei
separated? forever and forever?
“I believe It is the rigidity of these
teachings that makes atheists and Infi
dels and skeptics—makes ChrißtJ§m
unhappy and brings their gray hair?
down in sorrow r to the grave—a lost
Child, a lost soul! * ♦ *
"This wonderful book makes no as
sertions that are not well sustained by
the Scriptures. It is built up stone by
stone, and upon every stone la the text,
and It becomes a pyramid of God’s love,
and mercy, and wisdom.
“There Is nothing in the Bible that
the author denies or doubts, blit there
air* many texts that he throws a flood
of light upon that seem to remove
from tloon the dark and gloomy mean
ing. 1 see that editors of leading
Journals and many orthodox ministers
of different denominations have en
dorsed it and have confessed to this
new and comforting light that has
dawned upon the interpretation oi
tSod's book. Then let every man read
and ponder and take comfort, for we
are all prisoner* of hope. This is an
age of advanced thought, and more
thinking is done than ever before—men
dare to think now. Light—more light
is the watchword."
