Many most favorable openings for missionary effort will be presented to our people during the coming year, as the Sunday-school lessons of the International series are to be on the “Words and Works of Jesus,” as recorded in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
“Desire of Ages” covers the entire ground of the Sunday-school lessons for 1906, and our canvassers should begin at once to introduce this book to Sunday-school officers and teachers. A leaflet is in preparation giving references from each Sunday-school lesson to the pages in the “Desire of Ages” which treat the topic under consideration.
In some localities, a large number of copies of “Desire of Ages” has been sold in the past. Excellent missionary work might be done by our sisters in visiting those who have a copy of the book, showing its value as a “help” in the study of the Sunday-school lessons, and encouraging its use. Such visits might open the way for Bible study, or for the introduction of other reading-matter.
Every member of our Young People’s Societies should have the Youth’s Instructor to read. The series of lessons for the use of these Societies, to be published in this paper during the next few months, is worthy of special mention, and should be studied by every young Seventh-day Adventist. For full particulars as to cost in clubs for Sabbath-school or Young People’s Society use, address Youth’s Instructor, Washington, D. C.
What are you planning to do to develop the interest created by the circulation of the special issues of Life and Health, Signs, and Watchman? Look over the list of books for “Home Workers” published on page 22 of the Review of October 5, and select the one which you think best adapted to such work. Get a copy, and study it carefully as you have opportunity, and then re-canvass your territory with it, making a special point of seeing all who purchased a paper of you.
A brother in Ohio writes of the October number of Life and Health: “I find Life and Health just what the people want; have sold the one hundred in just a few hours. My order is in for another hundred.” Many others are having a similar experience with this most excellent health journal. You can readily sell it, and this kind of work often makes a favorable opening for Bible readings, or for the sale of other literature. Life and Health is furnished at 2½ cents a copy where twenty-five or more of any one issue are ordered at a time. The October and November issues are special ones for use in the missionary campaign. Order a supply now.
A firm in Chicago has recently ordered one hundred copies of the little booklet on “Colds: Their Causes, Prevention, and Cure.” Now is a good time to sell the book, and our canvassers will find it an excellent “help.” Subscription book discount to regular canvassers.
Most valuable help in answering some of the perplexing questions which have arisen in your private study of the books of Daniel and Revelation, will be found in the two books “Story of Daniel” and “Seer of Patmos,” by S. N. Haskell, a pioneer in the message. Price of each book, $1 a copy.
You can furnish a leaflet on some phase of the message to nearly three hundred people at the small cost of fifty cents. A one-pound assortment of “Signs of the Times Leaflets,” comprising about eighteen copies each of sixteen different leaflets, is furnished at the above price. See Review of October 5, page 22, for list of topics treated in the series.
“My Garden Neighbors” contains such interesting stories of the habits, customs, and doings of certain birds and animals, which for the most part inhabited the author’s garden, that one can hardly lay it down till he has read it through. Dr. L. A. Reed has furnished a most valuable addition to the literature for our young people, in this book. Teachers, students, and all lovers of nature study will appreciate it. Price, $1 a copy.
Twenty-five cents invested in a “Year-Book” will give your interested friend, or inquirer, a better idea of the magnitude of our work, of its past history, and of the fundamental principles of the message, than a similar amount spent in any other way. The 1905 “Year-Book” has been revised as to its General Conference directory, and there is still a good supply on hand. Order now.
