THE WORK — AND — THE WORKERS

By Editor

HAVE you read the April number of Life and Health? Only 10 cents a copy, or 25 cents for five.

THE trade edition of “Desire of Ages” is supplied in cloth for $1.50, or in leather for $2. You should have the book to help in the lesson study during this year.

A STUDENT from the Foreign Mission Seminary reports a sale of thirty copies of the April Life and Health in one and one-half hours. He worked among the residences in Washington City.

A SECOND edition of the Year Book is just off the press. Those who come to the General Conference, and those who stay at home, need a copy. Did you get one? It’s only 25 cents, post-paid.

YOUNG housewives especially appreciate “A Friend in the Kitchen.” It is written for the common people. The recipes are simple, practical, and varied. It is vegetarian throughout, and is designed to educate the people away from a flesh-food diet. Lady agents do well handling it. Cloth, 50 cents; waterproof paper, 25 cents.

BY the way, if you have not read the Liberty magazine for the first quarter, you have missed a treat. Don’t fail to read the famous “Lutheran Reply to President Roosevelt’s Letter” (given word for word), and the editorial on “The Possibility of a Roman Catholic President;” also “The Truth About Magna Charta,” a reply to the Hon. Bourke Cockran. Send 50 cents for ten copies, to sell or hand to your neighbors; or 25 cents for five copies.

REMARKABLE as it may seem, a business woman, not of our faith, has asked to become our general agent for Life and Health in one of the large cities of the South. She will dispose of not less than one thousand copies a month, having already ordered a first instalment of five hundred copies of the April number. She is appointing other agents who will help her in the good work. By buying in large quantities, at the lowest rate, and selling at the schedule rate to agents who desire only a few at a time, our general agents are able to clear a good profit in addition to that made on their own personal sales.

THE “special-offer” yearly subscriptions for our new quarterly, the Protestant Magazine, are already beginning to come in. The Kansas City branch of the Pacific Press sends in twenty-three subscriptions as a starter, and a brother in Iowa writes: “Please find enclosed post-office money-order for $2.25, for which send the magazine to the fifteen following names. I wish we were able to send the magazine to many more. May God bless your effort.” Have you made up your list of names yet? Every thinking man in your town should receive this new magazine the coming year. Five or more copies ordered at one time (cash with order); 15 cents each, a year.

THE second quarter issue of Liberty magazine, with its dainty, new, two-color cover and unusually good contents, is now ready. Send 25 cents for five copies; 10 cents a copy.

BEREAN LIBRARY, Nos. 2 and 3, “Thoughts on Daniel” and “Thoughts on Revelation,” contain all the text found in the regular subscription book. On account of their cheapness they are very handy to loan to friends or neighbors. Price, 25 cents each.

“I PLACED a copy of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor in the hands of Mr. Eugene W. Chafin, late presidential candidate of the Prohibition party,” writes one of our enthusiastic agents. Let others also endeavor to secure testimonials from leading men in behalf of this excellent number.

OUR office force is at present obliged to work nights, to keep ahead of the heavy orders coming in for the periodicals. And when the students in our schools go into the field to earn their scholarships by selling the magazines, we anticipate heavier orders and more work. May the good work continue, and the message soon spread to all parts of the earth.

“MANY speak highly of Life and Health,” writes one of our lady agents in Iowa. “Enclosed find post-office money-order for $10 due on the two hundred fifty magazines. Please send two hundred of the next number at once.” Over 1,000 agents are now handling this easy-selling health magazine. What others are doing, you can do. Try ten copies for 50 cents, or five copies for 25 cents. They sell at 10 cents a copy. Address Life and Health, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

“I LOVE this work,” says an Iowa sister, “and were it not for my three little ones, I would travel from place to place selling this magazine. Life and Health is certainly a fine magazine, and many times I have been requested by my customers to call with another number. Enclosed find post-office money-order for $8, to pay for the two hundred January numbers.” Would you not enjoy doing medical missionary work of this kind? Write for special terms to agents. Send 50 cents for ten copies of the April number, or 25 cents for five copies, to sell to your townspeople. Address Life and Health, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

LAST summer a year’s scholarship in Union College was earned in three weeks by a young lady in California, through the sale of Life and Health. After paying her expenses and ticket from San Francisco to Lincoln, Neb., she had nearly fifty dollars left for pin-money. While this is an exceptional record, we believe that a student of average ability should be able to sell the twenty-five hundred or more copies of Life and Health, Liberty, or the Protestant Magazine required for most scholarships. Half-year scholarships may also be earned on the same basis. Better set your stakes for a full year’s scholarship, however, even if you are obliged to enter school a week or two later than the rest. For rates and other information, address Review and Herald, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

THE book department will send you a copy of each number of the Words of Truth Series, 45 numbers, over 1,000 pages, covering the most important features of the Seventh-day Adventist belief, for only $.65.

HAS your kindergarten division been supplied with the Kindergarten Outfit? Make the new lessons interesting by giving the children a chance to build the story as they tell it. It helps them to remember. Complete outfit, including “Bible Object Lessons,” “Blackboard Sketches,” three boxes “Kindergarten Material,” round table, and seven chairs, only $12.50.

ONE feature of the Missionary Volunteer convention held at Takoma Park, recently, was a solo by Prof. Frederick Griggs, “Who Will Volunteer?” The song is in the new “Christ in Song.” There’s enthusiasm in the music, and a fine sentiment in the words. Send for the new edition of “Christ in Song.” It’s worth while. Prices: cloth, $.60; half morocco, $1.

EVERY Bible worker and every minister should have the Prophetic Chart. It is the best one ever published. Size, 48 x 72 inches (twice the size of the old one). Takes up no more room in the suit case than a Bible; weighs but eight ounces. Printed on a fine quality of muslin. Can be folded to show each set of symbols separately—as Daniel 2, 7, 8. The characters are large enough to be seen from any point in an ordinary lecture hall or tent. Price, $2.75.

“I HAVE started a club for the Protestant Magazine,” writes one of our agents in Southern California. “There were about ten out to prayer-meeting last night, and I obtained seven yearly subscriptions. This work I call only recreation. Shall write to some of my friends to start other similar clubs. Please renew my subscription for Liberty.” Remember that from now until May 1 seventy-five cents will pay for five copies of our new quarterly, the Protestant Magazine, one year, all to your address, or to five separate addresses, as you may choose. Send cash with order. Address the Protestant Magazine, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

As the days go by, it will be more and more difficult for you to secure back numbers of Liberty magazine. In fact, the manager of the periodical department was obliged to borrow one back number from the Religious Liberty Bureau in order to complete his file. The very nature of this magazine makes the previous issues just as valuable as the new numbers. While they last, you may send us 25 cents for such assortments of five back numbers as we can supply from the very few on hand. If you send 50 cents, we will send you ten copies of as many varieties as we have, possibly two copies each of a few issues. In these sets we will place the first quarter issue of this year,—one of the very best numbers yet issued, containing some documents of exceptional interest. Address Liberty magazine, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C. If your order reaches us too late, we will either refund your money or send you its equivalent in the two latest issues,—the first two numbers for this year, as you may direct.
