Important Notice Concerning Relief Books

By E. R. Palmer

A CHANGE in the conditions which have controlled the prices and the method of handling “Ministry of Healing” and “Christ’s Object Lessons” as relief books, make it necessary to announce certain changes to which we invite general attention.

The old editions of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” which were printed wholly or in part by appropriations from the material fund, are now exhausted, with the exception of a few copies still in stock at the Pacific Press, Mountain View, Cal.

The plans for handling “Ministry of Healing” have sufficiently changed so that we are able to place the relief edition upon a new and more favorable basis; therefore we ask attention to the following announcement:—

“Ministry of Healing,” Subscription Edition

As soon as the necessary changes and improvements can be made, this beautiful book will be issued as a subscription book. In due time announcements will appear concerning date of publication, prices, etc.

“Ministry of Healing,” Relief Edition

Arrangements have been made for issuing a relief edition of this book in the same form and at the same price as in the past. Any sanitarium or conference desiring to sell this book for relief purposes should make arrangements with the union conference of which it may be a part for such territory as it may need in which to carry on its relief work. The territory thus assigned for relief purposes can be retained for that purpose so long as it is worked energetically and successfully. These relief books may be obtained from the Review and Herald, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., at thirty-five cents a copy.

The sanitarium or conference ordering books will pay freight and all other expenses connected with the enterprise, and be responsible for the collection and appropriation of its funds.

Any sanitarium desiring to send out nurses as canvassers may handle these relief books in the territory that has been assigned them, and allow their nurses forty per cent of the retail price.

We believe that this arrangement will be satisfactory in every respect to the institutions that may wish to undertake relief enterprises, and at the same time it will place the book in the hands of agents who can sell it in all territory where no relief work is being done.

“Christ’s Object Lessons”

This book will be continued exclusively as a relief book. A few copies are still in stock at the Pacific Press Office, Mountain View, Cal. As long as this stock lasts, books may be secured F. O. B. cars, Mountain View, at twenty-five cents a copy. As soon as that edition is exhausted, all further supplies will be secured from the Review and Herald, Takoma Park, at thirty cents a copy, F. O. B. cars at Takoma Park.

We shall be pleased to answer inquiries and co-operate in any possible way with any of our brethren who wish to handle these relief books.

E. R. PALMER, Secretary of Relief Bureau.
