STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES

SERIES I., "The Plan of the Ages," gives an outline of the Divine plan revealed in the Bible, relating to man's redemption and restitution: 386 pages, in embossed cloth, 35c. (1s. 6d.) India paper edition, 75c. (3s. 1-1/2d.)

This volume has been published as a special issue of our journal-- at the extremely low price of 5c. a copy, in any quantity, postage included (To foreign countries, 9c.) This enables people of slender purse to herald far and wide the good tidings in a most helpful form.

SERIES II., "The Time is at Hand," treats of the manner and time of the Lord's second coming, considering the Bible Testimony on this subject: 370 pages, in embossed cloth, 35c. (1s. 6d.) India paper edition, 75c. (3s. 1-1/2d.)

SERIES III., "Thy Kingdom Come," considers prophecies which mark events connected with the "Time of the End," the glorification of the Church and the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom; it also contains a chapter of the Great Pyramid, showing its corroboration of the dates and other teachings of the Bible: 384 pages, in embossed cloth, 35c. (1s. 6d.) India paper edition, 75c. (3s. 1-1/2d.)

SERIES IV., "The Day of Vengeance," shows that the dissolution of the present order of things is in progress, and that all the panaceas offered are valueless to avert the predicted end. It marks in these events the fulfilment of prophecy, noting specially our Lord's great prophecy of Matt. 24and Zech. 14:1-9: 660 pages, in embossed cloth, 35c. (1s. 6d.) India paper edition, 85c. (3s. 6-1/2d.)

SERIES V., "The Atonement Between God and Man," treats an all-important subject--the hub, the center around which all the features of Divine grace revolve. Its topic deserves the most careful and prayerful consideration on the part of all true Christians: 507 pages, in embossed cloth, 35c. (1s. 6d.) India paper edition, 85c. (3s. 6-1/2d.)

SERIES VI., "The New Creation," deals with the Creative Week (Genesis 1 and 2), and with the Church, God's "New Creation." It examines the personnel, organization, rites, ceremonies, obligations and hopes appertaining to those called and accepted as members of the Body under the Head: 740 pages, in embossed cloth, 35c. (1s. 6d.) India paper edition, 85c. (3s. 6-1/2d.)

The above prices include postage.

IN FULL LEATHER BINDING, gilt edges, the set (6 vols.) $3.00, (12s. 6d.), plus postage, 60c. (2s. 6d.)

CONCORDANCES AND OTHER BIBLE STUDY HELPS

First in this list we mention the several volumes of

"STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES" SERIES

--referring inquirers to the second page of each issue of this journal for prices, etc. We commend also, as aids, the following publications by other presses, which we supply at specially low prices because of the assistance they will lend to the study of God's Word. We mention these somewhat in the order in which they seem to us to be desirable aids.

THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE
STUDENT'S EDITION

We specially recommend this Bible for its smallness of size, lightness of weight and good-sized print, and above all for the helps to Bible students and teachers bound with it. Printed on India paper; excellent press work. Its special feature distinguishing this Bible from all others is

ITS BEREAN BIBLE
TEACHERS' MANUAL.

Part I.

Brief Scripture Commentary based on expositions of SCRIPTURE-STUDIES, THE WATCH TOWER and Brother Russell's published sermons, tracts, etc., with references to these for fuller comments.

Part II.
INSTRUCTORS' GUIDE TEXTS

Texts topically arranged for use in teaching Divine Plan privately or publicly.

Part III.
BEREAN TOPICAL INDEX

Part IV.
DIFFICULT TEXTS EXPLAINED
SPURIOUS PASSAGES NOTED.

WHOLESALE PRICES IN ANY
QUANTITY
Postage, or Expressage Included

MINION TYPE EDITION, 4-1/2 x 6-3/4 inches. Sample of Type, etc., on page 350 of this issue. No. 1918--So-called French Seal, red under gold, round-cornered, divinity circuit, linen lined...........................$1.65

No. 1928--Same as 1918, bound in Levant Morocco, fine-grained, very durable, leather lined......................... 2.50

BOLD-FACE TYPE EDITION

No. 1938--See sample of type, etc., on page 350 of this issue. Size 5-1/2 x 7-1/2. The helps in this Bible are the same as described in No. 1928. The binding is Levant Morocco, leather lining. Price.................................$3.00

No. 1948--This Bible is the same as No. 1938, except that it contains additional matter desired by some, namely: The Bagster Concordance with a Historical Summary, etc. Price................$3.25

No. 1958--This Bible is exactly the same as No. 1948, except that it is bound in a little better leather, and is calf-lined to the edge. Price..............$3.50

Patent index 25 cents extra, but we do not advise this on so small a book. The above very special price was secured only by our placing a very large order--10,000 copies. This is probably the largest-sized single order ever placed for India paper Bibles.

DAILY HEAVENLY MANNA
For the Household of Faith

The demand for this publication increases year by year. It is a textbook for each day in the year, and good year by year continuously; in fact, its value increases as additional autographs of friends are secured. It has a very appropriate comment under each text, selected from the columns of back issues of THE WATCH TOWER.

Our present edition of the "Manna" contains the same texts and comments as all former editions. Every alternate leaf is blank-ruled, for use as an autograph and birthday record. It is printed on fine bond paper. We now have same in three different grades of binding, at very reasonable prices, considering the class of workmanship.

PRICES IN HANDSOME DARK BLUE CLOTH.

The cloth edition of the "Manna" will be sold by Manna Colporteurs, and others, at fifty (50) cents each (60 cents when gotten by mail or prepaid express). The wholesale rates, open to WATCH TOWER subscribers, are as follows, cash with order:
1 copy, postpaid.................................................$ .35
10 or more copies, by express, prepaid; each...................... .30
10 or more copies, by freight or express, charges collect; each... .20

LEATHERETTE EDITION.

The Leatherette "Manna," although prepared for special work in connection with securing subscriptions for newspapers, and therefore sometimes designated as "the newspaper Manna," is in an especially attractive binding.
1 copy, Leatherette, postpaid....................................$1.00
10 or more copies, by freight or express, charges collect; each... .60

THE DELUXE EDITION.

A beautiful presentation volume, purple leather, limp-padded covers, embossed in gold on side and back, and put in individual boxes:
1 copy, DeLuxe, postpaid.........................................$1.50
10 or more copies, by freight or express, charges collect; each... 1.00

We, of course, prefer the STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES to be colporteured; but a good follow-up work can be done with "Manna" by those who cannot do the regular work with the STUDIES.

We hope this little book will find a place at every breakfast table; and that spiritual refreshment may thus be enjoyed with the natural food, stimulating thankfulness to the Giver of all Good and thus inducing the peace of God and favoring both spiritual and natural health and well-being.

THE EMPHATIC DIAGLOTT

This very valuable work, published under the author's copyright by Fowler & Wells Co., New York City, has been sold by them at $4 in cloth and $5 in half leather binding. For several years a friend, an earnest Bible student, desirous of assisting the readers of our Society's publications, has supplied them through us at a greatly reduced price; now he has purchased the copyright and plates from the Fowler & Wells Co., and presented the same to our Society as a gift, under our assurance that the gift, will be used for the furthering of the Truth to the extent of our ability, by such a reduction of price as will permit the poor of the Lord's flock to have this help in the study of the Word.

REDUCED PRICES.--These will be sold with THE WATCH TOWER only. In cloth binding $1.50 (6s. 3d.)--includes postage and, as a Premium, one year's subscription, new or renewal, to W. T. On thin paper, in full morocco leather, divinity circuit, red under gold edges, silk sewed, leather lined, $2.50 (10s. 6d.)--includes postage and one year's subscription to W.T.

THE TISCHENDORF NEW TESTAMENT

This is the ordinary Common Version in cloth binding. As footnotes it gives the reading of the three oldest Greek MSS., Sinaiticus, Vaticanus and Alexandrine, wherever these differ from the Common Version. This is a very valuable little work, published in Europe, which we specially import for the benefit of our readers. Price, 50c., including postage.

LEESER'S TRANSLATION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT

This is the standard translation amongst English reading Hebrews, by one of their own rabbis. It is not perfect, but is a valuable aid in critical study of the Old Testament. Our special price, in leather binding, including postage, is $1.10.

ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE TO THE SCRIPTURES

In English, Hebrew and Greek, by Prof. Young (Presbyterian). A valuable work for all critical students. The publishers advise that they are bringing out a new revised edition of this valuable work, with considerable additional matter--historical data, etc., and have advanced the price. We are not permitted by the publishers to cut this price, but we may and do give in addition, postage free, any four volumes of SCRIPTURE STUDIES, cloth binding, with each Concordance, or six volumes if purchaser pays expressage. Postpaid, cloth binding, $6.00.

THE EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE TO THE
SCRIPTURES

In English, Hebrew and Greek, by Prof. Strong (Methodist). This is also an able work and useful in critical study. It has some advantages over Young's; after getting used to it we prefer it. Special reduced prices--in cloth binding, $3; half leather, $5. Carriage prepaid, 65c. extra.

CRUDEN'S CONCORDANCE TO THE SCRIPTURES

A valuable work, but scarcely necessary to those who have either of the above mentioned. English only. Cloth binding, $1, delivered.

SMITH'S BIBLE DICTIONARY

This is one of the most desirable editions of Prof. Smith's work. It is a large volume of 1,020 pages. In cloth binding, $1.30, including postage.

"BIBLE TALKS IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE"

This is the best book of its kind we have ever seen. It presents the Bible stories in simple, but not childish language, and seems remarkably free from the bad theology so common in this class of books. All Christian parents should have a Sunday Bible lesson with their children, and this book furnishes interesting topics, to which may be added as much concordant "Present Truth" as the age of the children will justify. Parents are responsible for their children's training in theology as well as in morals. This will assist you in the discharge of this duty, and thus be a blessing to yourself as well as to your children.

624 pages, 250 illustrations; cloth sides, leather back and corners, gilt edges. A subscription book at $3. Our special price, 75 cents, plus 25 cents postage.

SCRIPTURE STUDIES--INDIA PAPER

Calls for SCRIPTURE STUDIES divided into small portions, light, convenient for the pocket, that could be read on the cars, etc., led us to prepare an India-paper edition. The entire volume is on this very fine paper reduced to three-eighths of an inch in thickness and about four ounces in weight. [The type is exactly the same size as in the regular editions.] It is a beauty. Leather covers, gold edges. Its cost, with postage, is now 75c. each for the first three volumes and 85c. each for the remainder per volume.

BIBLE CATALOGUES

We are not giving a list of Bibles of the various publishing houses, as has been our custom heretofore. THE WATCH TOWER BIBLES, in the above different styles, will meet the needs of nearly all desiring Bibles.

We specially recommend THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE as an excellent gift and one which might serve to arouse interest in the SCRIPTURE STUDIES.

However, should any desire other Bibles, please write us, and we will be pleased to supply a full catalogue of any of the Bible publishing houses.

WATCH TOWER BIBLES

We cannot commend these too highly. Many of the friends are finding these Bibles more and more useful. We have them in two different styles and five different grades--the cheapest as low as $1.65, the very best and most complete at $3.50. Following is a description of each of the numbers and the size and style of type used:

BIBLE NO. 1918, PRICE $1.65 POSTPAID

Minion type, India paper, references, French seal (best sheep) binding, red under gold edges, silk head band and marker, linen lined, maps, TOWER and DAWN Comments, Instructor's Guide, Berean Topical Index, Difficult Texts Explained, Spurious passages noted. This additional matter fills 542 pages. Size, 5 x 7 x 1 inch.

BIBLE NO. 1928, PRICE $2.50 POSTPAID

This Bible is exactly the same as No. 1918, except that the leather is genuine Levant Morocco leather and leather lined. This should be a very durable binding-- fine-grained leather.

[Illustration of the scripture print appears here.]

THIS SIZE TYPE USED IN BIBLE NOS. 1918 AND 1928.

BIBLE NO. 1938, PRICE $3.00 POSTPAID

This Bible is of a larger size and of a bolder, blacker type. It is rather large for a pocket (5-1/2 x 7-1/2 x 1-1/4), but is light and convenient for handling. The helps are the same as in those described above. India paper, red under gold edges, silk head band and marker. These are bound only in the better leather, Levant Morocco, and are very durable. Sample of type below:

BIBLE NO. 1948, PRICE $3.25 POSTPAID

This Bible is exactly the same as No. 1938, except that it contains additionally the Bagster Bible Concordance, Index of Proper Names, Alphabetical Bible Index, etc. Size 5-1/2 x 7-1/2 x 1-1/2.

BIBLE NO. 1958, PRICE $3.50 POSTPAID

This Bible is exactly the same as 1948, except that it is bound in a still better leather, and is calf-lined to edge:

[Illustration of the scripture print appears here.]

THIS SIZE TYPE USED IN BIBLE NOS. 1938, 1948 AND 1958.

WATCH TOWER HELPS SEPARATE

About 570 pages, on India paper, French Morocco binding, $1.25 each postpaid; in cloth-binding, silver title imprint, 50 cents each. Our advice is that as the Bibles cost so little more all who can should procure them. Besides, it is very convenient to have the Scriptures and the helps under the same cover. Any regular TOWER reader who cannot purchase these helps, even in their cheapest form, may state his case to us, as a brother in Christ has kindly offered to supply a few of the cheaper kind to such.

1911--NEW MOTTO CARDS--1911

We have imported an extremely choice line of Motto Cards of entirely new design. We also have some of the good old standbys, which are difficult to improve upon. We again adopt the $1 packet (postage included) plan as every way the best and cheapest. Remember that our prices are about one-half the usual charge, and the very choicest.

Packet M.A.--Nearly all old, but choice, medium sizes.

Packet M.B.--Old and new designs, about equally assorted.

Packet M.C.--All new, specially recommended to those who have already had our old standbys.

Packet M.D.--Old and new, but all large.

Packet M.E.--All new, all large.
