OUR PROPHETIC AND LAW-OF-GOD CHARTS

By Editor

We have on hand at the REVIEW Office, a number of these excellent charts, which should be scattered in all directions among our brethren. The time was when nearly all S. D. Adventists had one of these hanging in their houses. This was so universally twelve or fifteen years ago. Many interesting conversations were brought about by their presence in the houses. Strangers coming in would inquire concerning the significance of those upon the chart, and those strange figures—some they had never before seen. Some read the word of God for perhaps the first time as it hung there on the wall.

Of late years these precious charts are not seen so much. Perhaps they are not artistic enough for the walls of our nicely furnished houses. The old copies of these charts in many houses, after hanging for a number of years, needed replacing, on account of the wear of time. We have clean, well finished new ones to take the place of these. It seems most fitting that the prophetic and the law-of-God chart should hang in the houses of those who believe in the importance of the truths brought to view in them. They are constant reminders of the great fundamental doctrines of our faith.

There are many of our ministers who need copies to replace the old ones which show the marks of wear, and are sometimes discolored by contact with rain while the minister travels from place to place. We have sometimes been in camp-meetings, needing charts for some important discourse, and were unable to find a neat, clean looking chart on the ground, and have had to take some dim colored copy which had stood the wear and tear half a dozen years or more. We believe it would be well to make an effort at our camp-meetings to dispose of many copies of these precious charts, which contain an epitome of the present truth. Some of the most important truths in the word of God are brought to view on them. We hope our Conferences will see that they have a supply on hand before camp-meetings; and we trust an effort will be made to sell them. Some four thousand copies were finally printed, and there are some three thousand now on hand. There are two kinds. Those without varnish are $3 per set, with or without rollers. If without rollers, they can be sent by mail, post paid; if with rollers, the purchasers will pay express charges. If varnished charts are wanted, they are $3.50 per set. These will have to be sent by express, charges to be paid by purchasers. The charts will all be sent at 30% discount by the quantity.
