Read It. Study It.
By C. W. S.
What? The article upon S. B., upon the first three pages. This article was written by Eld. D. M. Canright, and printed in Review Nos. 7 and 9, Vol. 47; but as it appears here, it is revised by Eld. James White, and made to express the decision of the General Conference held at Battle Creek, the 12th inst. It was revised by him on his way to Oakland and sent to us just in season for this paper. Study every point with care. C. W. S.

Spirit of Prophecy, Volume II
By Uriah Smith
Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. II.
We are prepared to speak of this volume, now just issued, as the most remarkable volume that has ever issued from this Office. It covers that portion of the great controversy between Christ and Satan, which is included in the life and mission, teachings and miracles, of Christ here upon the earth. Many have endeavored to write the life of Christ; but their work, as compared with this, seem to be only like the outer garments to the body. Here we have, so to speak, an interior view of the wonderful work of God during this time. And if the reader has a heart that can be impressed, feelings that can be stirred, an imagination that can respond to the most vivid portraiture of the most thrilling scenes, and a spirit to drink in lessons of purity, faith, and love from Christ’s divine example, he will find in this volume that which will call into liveliest play all these faculties. But the best of all is the lasting impression it must make for good upon all who read. It should have an unlimited circulation. Post-paid, by mail, as per previous notices, $1.00. U. S.
The New Charts.
By Uriah Smith
As already announced, these charts are now ready and orders are being filled. They are considerably larger than the old charts, and better executed. In addition to the increase of size, the headings, or titles, are left off from both, thus giving, in the law chart, room for a larger letter for the commandments, which makes it plainer and more distinct, and in the prophetic chart, room for larger figures. The representations on this latter chart are very bold and distinct.
An improvement has also been made on the prophetic chart in the position of the three angels, the sanctuary, the 2300 days, and the Son of man on the white cloud. By this arrangement, the speaker can show more clearly how all the lines of prophecy center in this latter event, which is made so prominent that it can be distinctly seen, as far as the voice of the speaker can ordinarily be distinctly heard.
We have a pair of these charts mounted, in the meeting-house in Battle Creek, and they make a better appearance than any previous edition. All our preachers, churches who have meeting-houses, and families who can, should supply themselves at once with the new charts. Price by mail, without rollers, postpaid, $3.00; by express, mounted, same price, purchaser paying express bill. U. S.
Book Notice.
By Uriah Smith
We have received from Miss Marion Bernstein, of Glasgow, Scotland, a volume of lively and racy poems entitled, Mirren’s Musings, 130 pages, neatly bound in colored muslin, with portrait of the authoress. This volume she explains to be the result of a long period of physical affliction, during which “musing” over what she had read or heard was of necessity her chief occupation. Miss Bernstein is one of those who have recently embraced the Sabbath in Scotland, and several of the poems in this volume are in behalf of that institution. She has twice favored the REVIEW with a poetical contribution, and we may occasionally select a gem for the paper from this volume. Seventy-five cents American money, sent to Miss Marion Bernstein, 5 Dunrobin Place, Paisley Road, Glasgow, Scotland, will procure a volume of the poems with which we think our readers would be generally well pleased. U. S.
Kankakee, Ill.
By Wilson Pottenger
QUARTERLY meeting will be held in the City Hall, in Kankakee City, Dec. 29, 30, and 31 (Thursday evening, Sabbath, and first-day); and in connection therewith the T. and M. Society will hold a meeting.
We hope the brethren and sisters will make a general rally, especially the “lone ones.” My dear brethren, this meeting is for you, and the benefits to be derived from it will depend on what you make it. Come, then, not to visit, to see and be seen, but to serve God. Come with your hearts set upon the love of Jesus, who has done so much for you. Let no ordinary circumstance keep you away. Let us make it a meeting long to be remembered.
From my travels among you, I know you need the genial influence of the Spirit of God shed abroad in your hearts, to stimulate you to more earnest work. If we have been favored with the truth of divine revelation, as we profess we have, a terrible responsibility rests upon us in the use of the time and means God has given us so liberally. “The third angel’s message” must be given to the world, and if we prove ourselves recreant to the trust God has given us, he will take from us that which we have, and give to another people whom he will raise up.
I have the promise of Bro. R. F. Andrews, that either G. W. Colcord, or himself, or both, will be with us on the occasion.
