Supplies for the Missionary Campaign
“At the North American Division Council held at Loma Linda, Cal., March 25, 1914, plans for conducting a missionary campaign during the latter part of 1914 and early part of 1915 were considered. In view of the nearness of the end and the urgent need for this message to be given rapidly and systematically in all parts of the field, the following recommendation was adopted:— “Believing that the hour has come when our people must devote themselves most earnestly to the finishing of the work, and desiring that every Seventh-day Adventist in the North American Division Conference shall take an active part in getting the third angel’s message before the people of this division, we recommend the following:— “That a special missionary campaign, beginning with Oct. 1, 1914, and continuing until the following spring, be definitely planned for by all our people.” At the meeting of the council, a committee was appointed to give careful study to the special literature to be circulated during this missionary campaign. This committee, together with several members of the North American Division Conference Committee, and others, have given the matter careful study, and have recommended that the special literature for the campaign be our periodicals, the Berean Library, and the following series of tracts, put up in envelopes and numbered from 1 to 10 all ready for circulation:— Number 1

Present Truth It will be observed that these tracts are so arranged as to make a progressive series intended to lead the reader on step by step, beginning with the necessity of laying hold of Christ and his Word by faith, which is the basis of all true knowledge, and adding to that points of truth until by the time the course is finished, the reader will have at least a sufficient knowledge of this truth to leave him without excuse. In order that our people may have these tracts at the lowest possible cost, the committee has asked our publishing houses and tract societies to handle these packages for the six months of this special campaign at cost of production. In compliance with this request, these tracts will be furnished at the following prices: 1 set, 25 cents; 4 sets, $1; 25 sets, $5, the express or freight extra. (The regular price would be about $8.) Churches and companies should order through their librarian, and get the large package for $5. The Berean Library is recommended as part of the special literature for this campaign. This library contains at present eleven of our standard books, printed on thin paper and bound in strong paper covers, so that they can be furnished at the following very low prices:— |

This set of eleven books is put up in a neat pasteboard box, and is furnished to our people for missionary purposes for only $1.86, express or freight extra. Already some of our people have purchased as high as ten sets to use as a personal missionary circulating library. There is nothing else equal to our literature in the possibilities of soul saving. The one who sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. In placing your order, plan for a bountiful seed sowing, expecting a bountiful harvest. Orders for these should be sent to your conference tract society, which will forward promptly to the publishing house. Orders should be sent in early, so that you will have your supply in hand when the date arrives for beginning the campaign, and thus make a simultaneous effort in every part of the field.
