I “You are also to count off seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven sabbaths of years, namely, forty-nine years. You shall then sound a ram’s horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land. You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family. You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor reap its aftergrowth, nor gather in from its untrimmed vines. For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its crops out of the field” (Lev. 25:8-12, NASB). Cover picture: Shofar, Jim Willey.

A REPRODUCTION OF AN ORIGINAL EDITION BY 4011 BOLIVIA 1 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77092 INTRODUCTION THIS work is the outcome of the unforeseen demand for its predecessors, "Christadelphian Ansivers" and "Christa- delphian Treasury", both of which ran "out of print" within a few days of publication. It was, therefore, decided to meet a widespread request by compiling from those works Facts bearing upon the perilous times in which we live—Facts from the pens of Dr. John Thomas, Brother Robert Roberts, and other well- known Christadelphians, who are determined that the Brotherhood shall be kept outside the pale of the Apostasy —for, as one brother puts it " We are living in perilous times—perilous not only for the world, but for the ecclesias ".

With some slight editorial comments and modifications, the booklet is republished to highlight the clarity of the expositions of our pioneer brethren. Comments will be welcomed by the publishers.
