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.

¶ “Just waiting for the truth”—this is the testimony which our canvassers are hearing almost daily. Perhaps there are some very near your home who are just waiting for you to bring them the truth. Enlist among the Home Workers—your State tract society will tell you how.

¶ We have just received copies of two pamphlets—“The Destroyer,” and “Harry Spencer: Dyspeptic.” The former is the story of a drunkard’s reformation. It shows the dreadful effects of alcohol on both mind and body. The latter tells how a confirmed invalid is fully restored to health through the use of nature’s remedies. A large number of testimonials have come to the author. Mrs. E. G. White says, “They are good little books, and should have a wide circulation.” “The Destroyer,” 10 cents, post-paid; “Harry Spencer,” 8 cents.

¶ “Those who desire to be accepted as workers in the future of this cause must advance step by step.”—Mrs. E. G. White.

¶ This idea is carried out in “Steps to Christ.” Daily growing in grace and the knowledge of Christ, the Christian is to go forward. To many the way seems obscure, and the path indistinct; but this little volume directs the reader to a closer study of the Bible, the real guide-book to heaven. Several attractive bindings are furnished, and the book is an ideal one for Home Workers.

¶ Ever since Satan declared to Eve, “Thou shalt not surely die,” men have been building on this falsehood regarding the state of the dead. “Here and Hereafter” gives the Bible doctrine on this important subject. Its 357 pages are devoted to an exhaustive study of the whole question of man’s nature and destiny, answering all objections, and giving a clear, lucid explanation of this vital theme. Price, $1, post-paid.

¶ What does religious liberty mean to you? Soon we may not enjoy the privileges which are ours at the present. We should do all in our power to defer the disaster as long as possible, that the work may be finished. To this end, campaigns of education could be conducted in your locality. Try the tract, “Prohibition and Sunday Legislation,” Words of Truth Series, No. 49. It is a clear, direct statement of the principles of religious liberty in small compass, and will appeal to all classes. Price, 12 cents a dozen; $1 a hundred, post-paid.

¶ Have you seen the Religious Liberty Post-cards? They are inexpensive, and often a picture-lesson stays in a person’s mind long after an article, no matter how cleverly written, is forgotten. There are ten cards in the set, and each one is a reduced facsimile of one of the timely cartoons which have appeared in Liberty. A full set, post-paid, 10 cents; five or more sets, 6 cents a set, post-paid.

¶ Every Seventh-day Adventist should be provided with a copy of “Early Writings.” This book contains the pith of the entire message. Convenient size; prices to suit all. Pocket edition, paper, 35 cents; cloth, 75 cents; leather, $1.25.

¶ Any of the publications mentioned on this page may be ordered through any State tract society or publishing house, or direct from Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C., New York City, or Battle Creek, Mich.
