THE WORK

By Editor

—AND— THE WORKERS
THE Maine Tract Society orders a club of 25 copies of the Protestant Magazine, one year, for its own use.
THE May number of Life and Health is now ready. Its new cover design is the most pleasing of all thus far produced. See full particulars on page 21.
WE can now furnish “New Testament Primer” in German, Danish, and Swedish, as well as in English. Prices in all three languages the same. Board, 35 cents; cloth, 60 cents.
OVER 91,000 copies of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor have already been sold. They still sell well, and will continue to be popular all the year. How many have you sold?
OUR entire edition of the April Life and Health was more than called for by the orders received up to Wednesday morning, April 14. All subsequent orders must, therefore, be filled by sending the May issue.
“TESTIMONIES ON SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK” should be read by every teacher and officer in the Sabbath-school. It contains much valuable instruction on the best methods for organizing and conducting a successful Sabbath-school. Cloth, 25 cents; leather, 50 cents.
ANY one who invests one dollar in the new “Christ in Song” pays about one cent for every ten songs. Any of the songs is worth many times one cent. The half morocco book is supplied for one dollar. The cloth is only 60 cents. Better bindings for $2.50 and $3. Which shall we send you?
AN examination of the membership of the churches and the number of those engaged in the circulation of our literature, developed the astonishing fact that less than one half of one per cent are taking part in this work. Surely there is work enough and room enough for a larger per cent than this.
EVERY boy and girl will take a genuine delight in the stories found in “Elo, the Eagle.” The best part of it is that all the stories are true to life. They are about real animals which lived and acted, each one his interesting little part. Sent, post-paid, for $1. Boys and girls make good agents for this book, too.
“I WISH to congratulate you upon the name selected for your new quarterly, the Protestant Magazine,” writes Elder W. J. Stone, of Indiana. “No more appropriate name could have been selected. It surely is a timely magazine, and it is most appropriate for the only Protestant denomination in the world to publish it. One week ago yesterday I took the matter up in the Indianapolis church, and secured forty-three subscriptions. Am much interested in its success.” Remember that five or more copies, for one year, ordered at one time (cash with order), will cost but 15 cents each. Regular subscription price, 25 cents a year.
THE Western Oregon Tract Society has just ordered 1,000 more copies of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor. Their previous order was for a like number.
“BOOK me for 500 copies of Life and Health each month,” writes a business woman not of our religious persuasion, “and I will try to make it a 1,000 order monthly soon.”
SIXTY-SEVEN per cent of the agents working in the Atlantic, Columbia, and Lake union conferences are using our large books. Think of the truth which is being scattered!
“CONFERENCE LABORER’S RECORD” is just the book for every conference worker to carry about with him. It is small, compact, and handy, with room enough to record a year’s work. Price, 50 cents.
“BIBLE LESSONS FOR THE CHURCH-SCHOOL,” No. 1, by Mrs. A. E. McKibbin, is just off the press. It takes up in simple, connected form the Old Testament record. A valuable book for parents who have children they wish to instruct at home. Price, 90 cents.
A HANDY pocket companion for every Seventh-day Adventist is found in the “Bible Text Book.” There are forty-nine Bible readings, covering all the principal points of our faith, besides numerous diagrams illuminating the text: 208 pages; cloth, 30 cents; leather, 50 cents, post-paid.
THE Maine Tract Society recently ordered 1,000 copies of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor. It is still selling rapidly. Remember the prices: single copies, 10 cents each; 5 copies, 5 cents each; 25 copies, 4 cents; 100 copies, 3¾ cents; 500 copies, 3½ cents; 1,000 copies, 3 cents.
FOR general distribution, there are no better tracts than “Fundamental Principles of Seventh-day Adventists,” “We Would See Jesus,” “Signs of Our Times,” “Gospel Remedy for Present-day Isms,” “What Do These Things Mean?” “The Perpetuity of the Law of God,” and Words of Truth Series—Nos. 5, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. One hundred of any one number, $1, post-paid; 100 of each number (600 in all), $6.
PRESIDENT ELLIOT says that the books which could be put upon a shelf five feet long, if read ten minutes a day, would give one a liberal education. Any Seventh-day Adventist can be very liberally educated in the third angel’s message through a careful reading of the books which could be placed on a shelf three feet long. We would suggest a good Bible, Cruden’s Concordance, “Patriarchs and Prophets,” “Great Controversy,” “Daniel and the Revelation,” “The Desire of Ages,” “Ministry of Healing,” “Education,” “Christ’s Object Lessons,” “Early Writings,” “Great Advent Movement,” “Heralds of the Morning,” “Here and Hereafter,” “Home and Health,” “Practical Guide to Health,” “Power for Witnessing,” “Speaker’s Manual,” “Story of Daniel,” “Seer of Patmos,” and “Testimonies for the Church.” Ask your tract society secretary for the prices.
THE Open-Flat Bible is the best value for the money which we have ever been able to offer. A liberal discount is allowed to agents. Write for description and prices.
THE Saskatchewan Tract Society has just sent in an order for 500 copies of that excellent Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor. Canada has done well in the sale of this magazine.
ONE lady canvasser recently took $119.50 worth of orders for “Great Controversy” in thirty-one and three-fourths hours. The best record we have seen this year. Average, an hour, $3.76.
“GREAT CONTROVERSY,” library, $1.50, post-paid. Only a few left. These are the old edition without the scripture index. The reading-matter is just the same as in the new book. The binding is the full law sheep. Formerly sold for $3.50.
A LITTLE girl, scarcely fourteen years old (not a Seventh-day Adventist), has become interested in the canvassing work. Recently she went out one afternoon after school and took four orders for “Coming King.” The first one was taken from her public school teacher.
BROTHER T. G. JOHNSON, secretary of the Upper Columbia Tract Society, includes in his list of sixteen yearly subscriptions for the Protestant Magazine, the governor of Washington, a superintendent of public schools, and other prominent people. That is right! It is the thinkers we are after, with this new magazine.
“LET us show the people where we are in prophetic history, and seek to arouse the spirit of true Protestantism,” says the spirit of prophecy. (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. V, page 716.) In no better way can the much-needed, true Protestant zeal be kindled than by distributing to the homes of the people our two quarterlies, the Protestant Magazine (ready May 1) and Liberty magazine. Each 10 cents a copy, or 25 cents a year. Send 25 cents for five copies to sell or hand to your neighbors.
“I LIKE the magazine Liberty, very much,” says a Kansas gentleman not of our faith, “notwithstanding it contains some doctrines that I do not indorse. Enclosed find twenty-five cents, for which send me the Protestant Magazine one year. I do not believe in statecraft meddling with religious liberty, nor do I have confidence in Roman Catholicism. I want to know how you propose to ventilate that awful scourge of priestcraft. . . . Have studied all the phases of Adventist doctrine for the past sixty-five years. I was thirteen years old in 1843, when I heard about the coming of our Lord. Please accept my best wishes for you. Pull down the mask from the face of the hypocritical priests that have cursed the world for ages.” This letter shows that such a quarterly as the Protestant Magazine appeals to thinking men. Let the light shine. Put your friends on the subscription list. One dollar and a half will pay for ten yearly subscriptions to one or separate addresses, or seventy-five cents will pay for five subscriptions. Address the Protestant Magazine, Washington, D. C.
