For years, thousands of phy-sicians
have been receiving
weekly audio- science tapes
_ which, played as they traveled
in their cars, have kept them in
touch with developments of the
scientific world. " Why haven't
the Spirit of Prophecy books

be heard at times when the eye
is busy and the ear is free?"

The idea, passed on to the
board of trustees of the Ellen
G. White Estate, caught fire.

L. Whitersecretary of the Ellen
G. White Estate. " Through
generous subsidies, provided by
interested physicians and busi
nessmen in North America, the
initial expense has been kept
at a minimum. The resulting
price of the slow- playing tapes
is considerably below the or
dinary going price of tapes of
this character. This is brought
about by an eagerness to see
these Spirit of Prophecy books
have the widest possible circu
