FOREWORD
For a long time I have been convinced that a simple, concise booklet on the Great Pyramid isconsiderably overdue. Many people have asked me where they can obtain such a book,written in language which they can easily understand, and which would give them afundamentally sound understanding of the message of this great "Witness in Stone". It hasoften been impossible to place such a book in their hands. True, there are standard text bookson the subject, classics in their way; but it is no disparagement to the authors and theirmonumental labours when I say that the average person has neither the time nor theunderstanding of technical terms to undertake the task of studying such volumes. To manyearnest seekers after Truth, therefore, the subject has remained clouded in mystery, and thismarvellous structure misunderstood, or, worse still, not understood at all.When, therefore, I found that Mr Page was contemplating a revision of his previous excellentbooklet on the Pyramid, I assured him of my practical help in whatever way I could, and heimmediately set to work on the considerable task of re-writing and supplementing chapters tomake up a booklet which would cover the main features of the subject, with particularemphasis on the King's Chamber and the times in which we live. It has been my privilege toencourage him in this, and to feel that in some small way, I have a share in the publication of this booklet which I am sure will be eagerly greeted and which will fulfill a long-felt want.Wherever this subject has been presented in the simple, everyday language of the man in thestreet, I have found it to meet with wholehearted enthusiasm, especially when illustrated withdiagrams. For that reason the reader will find the illustrations in this booklet a great help inunderstanding the salient features of the Pyramid. They will give him a readily grasped"bird's-eye" view of the passages and chambers, and so enable him to keep the DivineArchitect's plan clearly in mind. In this way it is sincerely hoped that Faith win beestablished, nourished, and enhanced by Jehovah's "altar in the land of Egypt, and a pillar atthe border thereof", and that the author's labour of love will contribute in its own way to thedesire of the Almighty God of Israel that it shall be a "sign and a witness unto the Lord of Hosts" in these last days.VIN.
