Too often we take our American heri- movement. With its marvelous resources and opportunities, America will continue to furnish the men and means necessary to spread the gospel message to earth's remotest bounds. It would be well for Adventists to re- new in their minds the dramatic exploits of faith, statesmanship and courage that made America a nation. These reasons have now been made available to us and our children in a most readable and in- teresting form. Dr. Merlin L. Neff in his magnificent three volumes, Our Heritage of Faith, presents in a compelling manner t h e spiritual and political foundations under- girding our democracy. Wonderfully il- lustrated with over 100 master paintings and 450 illustrations, these beautiful volumes enrich not only the mind but also enhance the library with their im- posing appearance. They are a delight to behold from within and without. Because of their importance at this time of national history, the publishers ( Pacific Press) are offering the three volumes to our church members for the low discount price of $22.95, plus tax. I would counsel each family to contact its Book and Bible House and make ar- rangements to purchase the books im- mediately. Once in your possession these volumes will constitute a priceless treasure chest of American heritage and spiritual faith. Why not write to the Book and Bible House today? viva 11E03.
