Total sale of the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine, February 1–17, 200,000 copies. Large orders still coming in. Let the good work go on!

Many patriotic lodges and societies are circulating the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine, and are passing resolutions based upon our “Petition to Congress,” found on the next to the last page of the Extra.

We have printed 250,000 copies of the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine, and are holding the forms for a fifth edition. Prices: single copy, 5 cents; 5 to 999 copies, 1 cent each; 1,000 copies, $8.00. When mailed by publishers: 10 copies to different addresses, 15 cents; 100 copies, $1.50.

A Florida business man who had previously donated some $40.00 to help circulate the Protestant Magazine, writes: “The American Citizen says you have issued a Free Press Extra, 16 pages, $8.00 per 1,000. For the inclosed check for $8.00 please spread 1,000 where they will do the most good. Send me sample copy only, and mark “Personal.”

Priest D. S. Phelan, editor of the Western Watchman (Roman), said this in his sermon at Mt. Carmel Church, St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 25, 1914: “If the Catholics were united, we could walk over the world. We are respectable people, we are intelligent people, we can hold our own anywhere. In the pulpit, the world must listen to us. WE CONTROL THE PRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.” Don’t you think it is about time you circulated some more copies of the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine?

The March or “Growing Old Gracefully” number of Life and Health contains much other vital matter besides the above-named symposium by our Seventh-day Adventist veterans, J. O. Curliss, J. N. Loughborough, and H. A. St. John. This number contains thirteen departments: “General Articles,” “The Consultation Room,” “Stimulants and Narcotics,” “For the Mother,” “The Human Machine,” “Home Cooking School,” “Editorial,” “As We See It,” “Medical Missionary at Work,” “Questions and Answers,” etc. A good seller. Get it. Sample copy, 10 cents. Send $1.00 for 20 or $2.00 for 50 copies.

The February 13 issue of Harper’s Weekly devoted two full pages to “The Pro-Papal Program,” a reply by W. W. Prescott, editor of the Protestant Magazine, to Dr. Francis C. Kelley’s “Anti-Papal Panic” article in a previous issue of the same magazine. On the first page of this same issue of Harper’s Weekly appears an excellent editorial entitled “Against Free Speech,” which is aimed directly against the anti-free-press bill introduced in Congress by Congressman Gallivan of Massachusetts. Speaking of the Protestant sects, the editor well says: “It is none of those religions or creeds that the bill protects from criticism, but the beliefs of the Roman Catholics. If so, wise Catholics will take no steps in support of a bill so subversive of the fundamental American right of free speech.” This makes six articles that have thus far appeared in Harper’s Weekly on the “Anti-Papal Panic” topic.

The March issue of the Protestant Magazine we have called the “Congressional Free Press Hearing” number. It contains the speeches delivered by the three Roman Catholic Congressmen in favor of the three Fitzgerald and Gallivan bills aimed at the freedom of the press, also the able arguments of the Protestant clergymen and laymen who opposed the bills. The arguments and verbal fireworks in this remarkable hearing are well worth reading and preserving for future use. This great March number should be given the WIDEST PUBLICITY POSSIBLE. The “Picture Section” of four pages contains the pictures of Congressmen Fitzgerald, Gallivan, and Maher, also of Rev. Randolph H. McKim; Rev. G. F. Williams, president of the American Federation of Patriotic Societies; Rev. W. Russell Collins, of the Converted Catholic; Prof. C. S. Longacre, editor of Liberty; Sanford B. Horton, of the Columbia Religious Liberty Association; Rev. Howard G. England, of the District of Columbia Guardians of Liberty; Rev. Clarence A. Vincent, pastor of Mount Pleasant Congregational Church; and Mr. John D. Bradley, president of the Washington Secular League. Send $1.00 for 20 or $2.00 for 50 copies of this powerful number. It also contains leading statements of the press—secular, Protestant, and Romanist—upon this hearing before the House of Representatives Committee on Post Office and Post Roads,—a hearing that brought out the truth concerning Rome’s methods in America and her opposition to free speech and free press, as no other hearing has ever done. This number will be mailed to 5 or more names and addresses, by the publishers, at the rate of 5 for 25 cents, or 20 for $1.00. Order TODAY.
