"SCRIPTURE STUDIES"--INDIA EDITION

----------

We repeat that orders are placed, for the past year, for all the volumes of SCRIPTURE STUDIES to be printed on India paper and bound in leather, with gold edges. It requires a long time to import paper, and our publishers were disappointed as to the quality of the first lot of it (afterward used in the "Karatol" bound edition). They hope for the new lot of best India paper soon, and lead us to hope that we will have all the volumes about Christmas next.

Meantime we are not "suffering" seriously, having the regular cloth edition and the regular leather edition, besides the first volume in Karatol and in magazine form.

"MANNA" AND "KARATOL" ORDERS

----------

Orders for the Karatol edition of STUDIES, Vol. I., have been filled. If yours failed to arrive advise us.

Orders for the new edition of HEAVENLY MANNA have all been filled. Some who sent for the old edition have credits with us and will please advise if they desire a less number of the new edition--as the price is higher, as indicated below:

NEW MANNA PRICES, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL

The new "Manna" will be sold by Manna Colporteurs and others at 50 cents each (60c when gotten by mail or prepaid express). The wholesale rates, open to any TOWER reader,

are as follows--cash with order:
1 copy, postpaid, each........................35 cents
10 copies or more, by express, prepaid........30 "
10 " " " at your charges.20 "
30 " " by freight.................20 "

THE TABERNACLE AND THE PRIESTS

----------

These two beautiful chromos, considerably delayed, are now in good supply and should be in all of our homes--to remind us of their glorious antitypes, of which we have been studying for some time past in our "Berean Lessons."

By getting them out in large quantities we can supply them at 30c per pair, or 4 pairs for $1.00, post or express prepaid by us. They are very handsome and easily worth several times the price. We merely aim to meet the cost.

All orders have now been filled. If you did not get yours let us know particulars at once. To some who ordered 3 for $1.00 we sent four and to others we sent three and a copy of

TABERNACLE SHADOWS.

They are mounted with metal and have hangers and are packed in tubes.

6. How will the Father's acceptance of the sacrifice of the Body of Christ be manifested? Joel 2:28; T.88, par. 2.

AUGUST 18

9. Must each member of the Body of Christ pass the same "judgment" as our Head? and, if so, how can we be acceptable unless we, like him, live perfect lives? Rev. 3:21; Col. 2:9,10; Isa. 61:10; T.89, par. 1.

10. How is the acceptance by God of the sacrifice of the Church shown in the type? Lev. 9:22-24; T.89, par. 2.

1907--VOLUNTEER TRACTS--1907

----------

This year's Volunteer tracts are going out very rapidly. We are doing our best to keep up with the increased demand and rejoice that an increasing number of the Lord's people are appreciating this privilege and will gain a spiritual blessing therefrom. We request that all who send in orders specify particularly the quantities they can and will use judiciously and promptly. We will be glad to double the shipments.
