— AND — THE WORKERS
For description of, and table of contents for, Liberty for the second quarter, see notice on page 21.
ONE thousand copies of Life and Health have just been ordered by the Indiana company of magazine agents who are working their way to this place.
THE trade edition of “Desire of Ages” can no longer be obtained in the cloth. We have a very few copies left of the leather style. The price of the leather is $2.
DURING less than one month’s time, Brother J. A. Skinner has ordered 1,500 copies of the magazine Liberty. In his last letter, dated April 20, he says: “I think the last number of Liberty is all right. It will be a good seller.”
HAVE you seen the booklet, “A Scholarship for You”? It’s free for the asking. It explains how you can get a scholarship in the medical department of the George Washington University, without its costing you one cent.
“THE CHANGE OF THE SABBATH,” by G. I. Butler, covers very fully the subject of how the supposed change came in. The book is just the thing to hand to any of your friends or neighbors who may be inquiring. Paper covers, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.
CONFERENCE presidents and tract society secretaries will be interested to read the note under Notices and Appointments, entitled “Where the April Life and Health Went.” Forty-three States are listed, together with the number of copies ordered by each.
ELDER R. M. KILGORE accompanies his order for five copies of our new quarterly with the following encouraging comment: “I have just seen the announcement of the new Protestant Magazine. It is not born out of due time. The times demand it, and are ripe for it. Its suggestion is of the Spirit of God.”
“PLEASE place my name on the list for 1,000 copies of the May Life and Health,” writes Mrs. S. N. Haskell, of California. “The April number was a very nice one, and sold well. We have none left of the thousand copies we received about two weeks ago.” We are pleased to note that California ordered the second highest number of copies of the April issue.
A LADY not of our faith, recently wrote to inquire whether she could obtain all of the back numbers of the Sabbath School Worker. She had in some way obtained a copy, and was delighted to discover such a valuable help to the study of her Bible. Does this valuable monthly visit your home regularly? The low subscription price puts it within the easy reach of every family. Yearly subscription, 35 cents. Two or more copies, one year, to one address, only 25 cents each. Address Sabbath School Worker, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
THERE are 45 numbers and over 1,000 pages in the Words of Truth Series. All the principal points of faith are covered. How a full set of the tracts will be sent post-paid, for only 60 cents.
“PLEASE send 200 copies of Life and Health to ——, 500 to ——, and 500 to ——,” writes a successful lady agent. Twelve hundred copies ordered at one time, is a good record!
ABOUT 50,000 religious liberty postcards have already been sold. We have about an equal number awaiting your orders. Don’t let an opportunity to educate the people pass. Ten cards for 10 cents; 100 for 60 cents.
THE little folder entitled “How to Earn a Scholarship” is now ready. It will tell you how to secure your next year’s schooling, through the sale of four magazines. Address the Periodical Department for the same.
THE issue of the Instructor dated April 20 contains the first outline for the reading of “Daybreak in the Dark Continent.” Have you procured a copy of that book? If not, send for one at once. Cloth, 50 cents; paper, 40 cents.
DO you read your own copy of the REVIEW each week, or are you borrowing the paper? Why not subscribe yourself? If you can not do any better, send 50 cents for a four-months’ subscription; or 75 cents for a six-months’ subscription.
“I WENT out yesterday,” writes a Georgia brother, “and though it rained all the time, I sold 46 copies of Life and Health. My success has exceeded my expectations. Enclosed please find post-office money-order for $8, for magazines sent. Please send 300 more copies.”
“DANIEL AND THE REVELATION,” morocco, $2.25, post-paid. We have a few morocco “Daniel and the Revelation” of the old edition left, which we are closing out at this low price. You should order at once, and secure one of these books; they are a bargain.
BROTHER TECK L. SORY, our Liberty agent in Oakland, Cal., sends us a telegram for 1,000 copies of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor. The Oakland Sabbath-school members will sell them. As previously stated, this special number will be a good seller all summer—and longer.
“I READ with great interest your advertisement of the Protestant Magazine, in the REVIEW of March 18,” writes Brother Ed. F. Forga, who, for years, championed the cause of Protestantism in Catholic Peru. “I congratulate you very heartily upon your bold undertaking, and believe that this publication will fill a long-felt want. I wish that it might have a million subscribers. Enclosed find money-order for $3, for which please send the magazine for one year to the twenty addresses enclosed.” Seventy-five cents will pay for five copies, 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.
ONLY good words have reached us regarding Liberty for the second quarter. How could it be otherwise, with such interesting contents and such a beautiful cover?
BROTHER WALTER HARPER recently sent us a list of 57 yearly subscriptions for Life and Health, which he secured while canvassing in Arizona. He does this often.
“IT is a very easy matter for Miss —— and me to sell 100 copies each, a day,” writes one of our lady agents for Life and Health. “We never work more than four hours a day.”
IT is said that statistics show that ten per cent of the students in the universities of the United States are self-supporting. Statisticians also agree in saying that ninety per cent of the men who enter business fail. Can it be that the ten per cent of self-supporting students hold the key to successful enterprise?
DO you wish to realize as never before what God can accomplish through a weak but willing people? Then read “The Great Second Advent Movement,” by J. N. Loughborough, and see the rapid strides of the advent message within the recollection of one man. Cloth, $1.25; paper, 50 cents.
MANY times those who are selling Life and Health can introduce a small book to advantage. Nothing is better, at this season of the year, than “Colds; Their Cause, Prevention, and Cure,” by Dr. G. H. Heald. We allow the regular agent’s discount on this book, to those who are devoting their time to selling the printed page. Price, 25 cents.
“BIBLE OBJECT LESSONS” contains fifty-two lessons on the life of Christ, especially prepared for the children. Every kindergarten teacher needs this book; the suggestions are invaluable. Price, board, $1.50; cloth, $2. Kindergarten material, to accompany the book, $2.40, post-paid. When both material and book are ordered at once, we include “Portfolio of Blackboard Sketches” free. Ask for full description.
AT last accounts, California had ordered 9,567 copies of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor. Michigan follows, with 8,177 copies to its credit. Washington is third, with 7,158 copies ordered. Following these, come Colorado, with 5,537 copies ordered; Indiana, 3,781 copies; Oregon, 3,582 copies; Iowa, 2,763 copies; Nebraska, 2,713 copies; Illinois, 2,366 copies; Canada, 2,137 copies; New York, 2,032 copies; Massachusetts, 1,948 copies; Missouri, 1,766 copies; Pennsylvania, 1,616 copies; Kansas, 1,588 copies; Wisconsin, 1,454 copies; Tennessee, 1,326 copies; Ohio, 1,308 copies; New Jersey, 1,293 copies; Minnesota, 1,191 copies; Texas, 1,186 copies; Oklahoma, 983 copies; and Idaho, with 932 copies to its credit. It will be seen that we have listed twenty-three States (including Canada), twenty-one of which have ordered more than 1,000 copies. The other twenty-nine States and countries from which orders have been received, fall under the one thousand mark.
