LIFE SKETCHES.

By James White

LIFE SKETCHES of Elder James White, and his wife, Mrs. E. G. White, is now ready. The subject matter of this book is given in the following order:—

1. The first 125 pages contain a brief sketch of the ancestry, early life, Christian experience, and labors of Elder James White. This is a careful revision of the first part of the volume entitled Life Incidents, published in 1868, but now out of print.

2. Pages 125-324 contain sketches of the parentage, early life, Christian experience, views, and extensive labors of Mrs. E. G. White, as given in the second volume of Spiritual Gifts, published in 1860, now out of print. Those who are urging the reprinting of that volume, should understand that there are many things in that sketch applying to the past, and having no special interest at the present time, which need not be reprinted. There are also personal testimonies in that volume, which have recently been reprinted, and constitute a portion of the new edition of the testimony to the church. And while two or three pages only of the narrative have been omitted in the revision, eight or ten have been added, making the work more complete.

3. The work is concluded with sketches of our several institutions, and statements relative to the progress of the work up to the present time. It contains the only history of the cause now in print. The Publishing Building, College, Sanitarium, Tabernacle, and the Pacific Press main building are represented in this book by very fine cuts. The book is printed on fine tint paper, and is put up in muslin, in a style to correspond with the volume in other respects. It contains 416 pages; price $1.00; with steel engraving of Elder White, $1.25.
