THE WORK AND THE WORKERS

By Editor

OUR mail on Sunday, the ninth, contained orders for 6,600 copies of Life and Health, Liberty, and the Protestant Magazine.
THAT restful boating scene on the front cover of the September or “Vacation” number of Life and Health is attractive enough to sell that number.
THE first large edition of 50,000 copies of the August or “Temperance” number of Life and Health was exhausted August 11. The size of our second edition will be determined altogether by the number and size of the orders received during the next few days.
MRS. C. E. HALLIDAY, of Los Angeles, Cal., has just ordered another 1,000 copies of the “Mayflower” number of Liberty. She reports 4,500 ten-cent magazines sold during the past 12 weeks. This dear sister, in her seventieth year, says she uses a baby carriage to carry her magazines, as her strength is not what it used to be.
UNLESS our Life and Health agents specify otherwise, we shall be obliged to fill all orders received after August 11 with the September number, advertised elsewhere on this page. Our presses are running sixteen hours a day, and it will be impossible to print the second edition of the August or “Temperance” number for several days.
THE September number of the Protestant Magazine is devoted largely to a careful historic and Biblical consideration of the “Superstitious and Idolatrous Sacrifice of the Mass” and to “The Pope in Politics.” A good number to go with the great August or “Papal Priesthood” and “Roman Boycott” number. Send $1.00 for 10 copies of each number.
PROF. C. S. LONGACRE has just received the following interesting letter from Pastor A. N. Allen, superintendent of our Cuban Mission: “Am glad that you called our attention to these special numbers of Liberty, and I believe that they will do some good in the hands of the Protestant ministers here in Cuba. Some time ago our committee voted to place some of our best papers in the hands of the leading men of this island. You will find inclosed an order for 100 Liberty and 100 Protestant, which we shall circulate here, with an invitation to subscribe.”
THE twenty-fifth, or 1913, Annual Report of the Lord’s Day Alliance of the United States contains the following items of special interest to every friend of religious liberty: “The Lord’s Day Alliance of the United States is becoming better known every year to the people of the nation and in the halls of state and at the national Capitol. A communication was received from Dr. W. W. Davis [secretary of Maryland Lord’s Day Alliance], urging that our alliance keep in more frequent touch with Washington; that at least once every week while Congress is in session, we ought to be in close personal touch with affairs. He believes there are twenty men who would give $25.00 each for the furtherance of such a proposition, and that ultimately we may be able to have a man there with permanent headquarters. WE NOTE HERE THE FACT THAT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS HAVE A REGULAR FORCE OF WORKERS AGAINST THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH IN WASHINGTON, AND WE MUST HAVE A CARE LEST THESE TROUBLERS OF ISRAEL DO VIOLENCE TO OUR CHRISTIAN SABBATH.” The best way to meet this proposed campaign on the part of the Lord’s Day Alliance is to circulate Liberty magazine. Send $1.00 for 20 copies or $2.00 for 50. Or send $2.00 (or $1.00) and we will place the names of ten (or five) persons on our subscription list for one year.
