These
books were translated into about thirty languages and their combined
circulation exceeded 11,000,000 copies. In 1917 the seventh volume of
the series of STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES was published, known as "The
Finished Mystery", which has had a very wide circulation. These books
are the first clear explanation of the divine plan ever published. In
addition to the above, he published and widely circulated various
booklets, "What Say the Scriptures About Hell?" "Spiritism," "The Bible
Versus Evolution," "Tabernacle Shadows," and many other tracts,
pamphlets, etc. He was the author of the Photo-Drama of Creation, as
well as the scenario used for this drama, which gives an outline of the
divine plan from the creation to the times of restitution. He organized
and conducted a lecture bureau which employed a large force of Bible
lecturers who traveled and who yet travel throughout the world,
proclaiming the message of the divine plan. For a period of time his
sermons were published weekly in more than 2,000 newspapers, with a
combined circulation of 15,000,000 readers; and in all about 4,000
different newspapers published his sermons. Some idea of the scope of
his work can be understood from the words written in _The Continent_, a
publication not friendly to him:
[419]"His writings are said to have a greater newspaper circulation
every week than those of any other living man; greater, doubtless, than
the combined circulation of the writings of all the priests and
preachers in North America; greater even than the work of Arthur
Brisbane, Norman Hapgood, George Horace Lorimer, Dr.
