Bible Sanctification: A Contrast of True and False Theories
By Mrs. E. G. White.
This is a pamphlet of only 84 pages, but its value is not to be judged by its size. It is just what its title indicates: a faithful presentation of Bible truth on this important subject, and an exposure of the false theories prevailing in regard to it. Every believer in Bible truth should read it. Buy it, read it, and lend it to your neighbor. Price, 10 cents.
Address. PACIFIC PRESS, Oakland, Cal.

The Opportunity for Securing Our
Magnificent, Self-Pronouncing Teachers’ Bible
With the SIGNS OF THE TIMES will last only a few weeks longer. The offer will positively expire April 30, 1897. Until that date, the SIGNS OF THE TIMES offers with each new yearly subscription, a Self-Pronouncing Teachers’ Bible
At a Remarkably Low Figure
(This sample is an exact reproduction of a half page of our Premium Bible and shows size of type.)
This Bible is not a cheap reprint, but a copyrighted edition from new type-set plates. It contains a complete series of Helps with Illustrations, and a “Word Book” which embraces a Concordance, Subject Index, Gazetteer, Bible Dictionary, etc., all in one alphabetical arrangement. By consulting the Word Book you can find at once what you want, and do not need to look in half a dozen places for it. Every proper name is so marked as to indicate at a glance its proper pronunciation. It is thus absolutely Self-Pronouncing.
This new Bible has Minion type; is bound in American Morocco; has silk head bands, a silk marker, a silk-finish lining, and red under gold edges.
OUR OFFER
a. The Bible and a year’s subscription—new name—to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, ordered before April 30, 1897, for $2.50. Both Bible and paper sent post-paid.
b. The Bible FREE to any one sending us six new names and $6.00 at the same time. The Bible will be sent also, as above, to any one or all of the six by including $1.50 extra for each Bible.

What Worse?
What Worse?—Well, the big fight between the two great bruisers of the day is over, and there is but one “champion of the world.” All sorts of condemnation has been lavished unsparingly upon Governor Sadler, but we do not see that he is more to be blamed than the thousand business men, bankers, merchants, lawyers, judges, physicians, writers, etc., who congregated from hundreds and thousands of miles away at the ring-side. The prize-fight is only one of the manifest tendencies to brutalism so increasingly common in these days. What worse is it than the great slugging games of football? What worse is it than the “boys’ brigades” in various churches, where the spirit of war and murder is instilled in the minds of the youth by the professed ministers of the “Prince of Peace”? What worse is it than the cry of war we hear from united Christendom against those they esteem their enemies? We are not condemning these things, neither are we condemning Corbett or Fitzsimmons, nor the fight promoters or patrons. Their judgment lies with God. They are but doing “the works of the flesh” (Gal. 5: 19-21), and they that sow to the flesh “shall of the flesh reap corruption” (Gal. 6: 8). But it is just as much the works of the flesh when manifest in brutal football games, college hazing, boys’ brigades, or armed crusades against the Turks, as it is in prize-fighting. We are living the life of declining Rome over again. We have the gladiators, the mad mobs of spectators, made frantic by the sight of blood, and all the other forms of brutalism common to that pagan age. But it is not of Christ. He is a messenger of peace. His servants fight battles, but it is in the realm of thought and passion and imagination. Their victories are not in defeating men. They win men, but defeat evil. We are aware that this is not popular, but is it not Biblical?
