Salt Lake City, 1930. First Edition. 115pp. Quarto [30.5 cm] Green wrappers with title and illustration printed on the front panel in red, gold and black. Near fine. Illustrated throughout with black and white images. Typed letter signed by Grant, on his letterhead, attached to the front free endsheet. Grant thanks the recipient (Belle M. Taggart) for her work on 'The Message of the Ages.' Grant signed or inscribed thousands of books, but there are only a handful of titles (Prince of Peace, Power of Truth, Finding God in Millersville) that one sees. The inscription refers to a production that was presented at the Salt Lake Tabernacle on April 6th, 1930, titled 'The Message of the Ages.'
