THE ADVENT REVIEW AND SABBATH HERALD, FOR 1883.
By Editor
This paper entered upon its sixtieth volume with the new year, and under auspices the most favorable for a continued career of usefulness. The various departments which have given the paper a position among the best in the land in the past will be maintained, with several additions which will still further increase its value and usefulness. The paper will contain, from week to week, the best thoughts of the best writers, and contributors, being profoundly impressed that the paper has a specific field to occupy, and a special message to give to the world, will devote to the topics upon which they treat, the study and thought to which their importance entitles them. The events almost daily transpiring in the civil and ecclesiastical world are big with momentous importance as bearing upon the interests of the people of God in the immediate future. The Review and Herald will undertake not only to faithfully chronicle such events as they occur, but will seek to discover their significance in their relation to the present and future, as indicated in the prophetic Scriptures. In response to the oft-repeated query, "Watchman, what of the night?" it will endeavor to give the trumpet no uncertain sound, but will seek to "discern the signs of the times," and discriminate between light and darkness. In short, it is the purpose of the publishers to make it just such a paper as every thoughtful, candid person will delight to read. To further extend its already large circulation they make the following liberal
PREMIUM OFFER
For $2.50, the Review and Herald for one year, and a copy of the valuable work, "Biblical Institute."
The subscription price of the paper being two dollars, the inducement offered the subscriber is a splendid dollar book for 50 cents.
The "Biblical Institute" is a volume of 325 pages. It contains the substance of Eld. Smith's biblical lectures in Battle Creek College before the class of theological students, constituting a brief but complete bird's-eye view of the principal points of faith cherished by S. D. Adventists, and the Scriptural reasons on which they are based. The subjects are clearly presented, in a way to make them plain to the investigating mind, with ample citations of texts for study in case the reader wishes to pursue his inquiries.
CHOICE OF BOOKS.
Should the subscriber prefer, he may receive on the same terms, a copy of "Conybeare and Howson's Life and Epistles of St. Paul," a valuable work, retailed at the same price.

MAGNIFICENT PREMIUM OFFER WITH THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES FOR 1883.
By Editor
THE Publishers desire to add several thousand new subscribers to their lists during the next six months, and to that end, make the following
LIBERAL OFFER.
To each New Subscriber we will furnish THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES one year with a copy of Conybeare and Howson's
LIFE AND EPISTLES OF ST. PAUL, FOR $2.25.
This magnificent book offered as a premium is widely known as a work of profound learning and extensive research. It is clearly written and intensely interesting.
Ours is a new and popular edition printed from new plates upon tinted paper. It is substantially and elegantly bound, and sells for One Dollar.
We have been largely influenced in our decision to use the Life of St. Paul as a premium for 1883, by the fact that the Sabbath-school lessons for the comming year will be principally upon the subjects treated so ably in this work. Thus making it a most useful book for every Sabbath-school scholar and teacher.
On account of the value and expense of this book, this is the best premium offer we have ever made.
TO OUR OLD SUBSCRIBERS.
To each one of our old patrons who will renew his subscription before March 1, 1883, and send us four new subscribers, we will also send free, by mail, a copy of the premium book.
CHOICE OF PREMIUMS.
If any one prefers a copy of "Geikie's Life of Christ" or "The revised New Testament" (Harper's Brevier Edition), instead of the Life and Epistles of St. Paul, we will furnish them at the same rates whenever it is requested.
