The Book Department Mirror

Being a Reflection of Interesting Happenings and Notes on Our Publications. Conducted by the Book Department of the Review and Herald Publishing Association.

¶ One of our field missionary agents called to see us recently. During his conversation he said, “I believe we are in the time of the loud cry, and that the work is soon to be finished. I do not believe there will be any more slack times in our canvassing work.” Brother, sister, have you a part in this great closing movement?

¶ Speaking of the loud cry naturally brings to mind that important little book, “Early Writings,” with those chapters entitled, “The Sealing,” “The Trial of Our Faith,” “The Third Message Closed,” and “The Deliverance of the Saints.” If you have not read these chapters, you should lose no time in sending for a copy of the book. Pocket Edition, paper covers $ .35 Regular Edition, cloth .75 Leather 1.25

¶ We have just received a report from one agent who worked 180 hours, and took orders to the value of $354.85. This brother is crippled, not having any legs. Such a record as this should be an incentive to those who are not handicapped by misfortune.

¶ “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please; and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

¶ Some of the tracts of the “Words of Truth” series have proved a most excellent means of spreading the truth. “Christ’s Second Coming,” No. 42, ½ cent; “Court Week in Heaven,” No. 47, ½ cent; “We Would See Jesus,” No. 36, ½ cent; “What Do These Things Mean?” No. 39, ½ cent; and “Signs of the Times,” No. 37, ½ cent, are among the best we have for general distribution.

¶ “One of the most effective ways in which light can be communicated is by the private personal effort in the home circle, at your neighbor’s fireside, at the bedside of the sick. . . . Thus you may sow precious seed that will spring up and bear precious fruit.”

¶ Our “home-workers’ list” is especially prepared for those who are doing this kind of work. “Education” by Mrs. E. G. White is furnished for $1.25. “Our Little Folks’ Bible Nature” is an excellent book for children, and can be obtained in boards for 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents. Where “Helps to Bible Study” is placed in the home, it will invariably lead to Bible readings. This book can be obtained in paper covers for 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents. Special discounts are given our home workers; these can be obtained by writing to any State tract society.

¶ One of the prettiest volumes in our showcase is the new “Steps to Christ.” Its outside cover, though, is not nearly so important as the matter which it encloses. A personal touch with the Lord Jesus which the author introduces can not fail to interest even the casual reader. There are sixty-one beautiful illustrations, which help to impress the thoughts on the mind.
