Use of Leaflets in Working for Young People

It has been said that he who casts a rich thought into the mind of a friend is giving as the angels give. It is surely true that whoever can impart to the mind of a young person one wholesome, helpful, uplifting idea is doing more for him than by making gifts of silver or gold. A leaflet, dropped by an old lady, on the sidewalk, and picked up by a noted infidel, changed an opponent of God’s truth into one of its ablest defenders. There are many instances on record of great good accomplished by little tracts, quickly read, but not so quickly forgotten.
We have a great work to do for our young people, and our young people have a great work to do for other young people and for the world. The Missionary Volunteer Department has begun the publication of a series of leaflets to be used in this work. They are envelope size, so that they may be used in correspondence, or carried in the pocket, and given to those who should have them. In the preparation of most of those already published, we have had in mindour own young people. We believe that all our workers, and many of our people generally, should carry a supply of these leaflets to be used as indicated above. Oftentimes a little leaflet will serve as an entering-wedge to do some effective personal work.
We give here a list of those already published and the prices. Fifty per cent discount is given when twenty-five or more copies of the same leaflet are ordered. A sample of each of those mentioned (except the reading course leaflets and the German leaflet) will be sent post-paid for six cents.
