The Seed and the Sowers
By Editor
“He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” ANY publication mentioned on this page may be ordered through your conference tract society or from any of our publishing houses or their branch offices. See last paragraph on this page for addresses of our publishing houses. CHRIST does not drive, but draws men unto him. The only compulsion which he uses is the constraint of love.—“Mount of Blessing,” page 182. WHAT are you doing that others may have a chance to know of this power that draws men away from the evils of this world toward the eternal riches of God? Start in to-day,—take a pound of “Signs of the Times Leaflets,” and let your neighbors hear the “glad tidings.” “MY GARDEN NEIGHBORS” continues to grow in favor. It makes an excellent addition to any one’s library. When you pick up the book, you will at once become so interested that you will want to finish it before laying it down. The stories told make one more considerate of the whole animal creation. The price of this book is $1. WHAT are you doing to provide proper reading for the younger members of your family during the long winter evenings? The Youth’s Instructor contains the best reading-matter you can secure for them. A long list of most interesting articles is announced for publication during the next few months. Your children will enjoy it, and so will your neighbors’ children. Subscription price, 75 cents a year. Address Youth’s Instructor, Washington, D. C. FREQUENT orders received for sets of the “Fireside Free Circulating Library” call to mind the fact that this manner of circulating literature at small expense can fill an important part in the present campaign. Five sets of the Library, costing $1, will furnish sufficient envelopes to distribute to twenty-five persons for five weeks, and these can be distributed several times without additional expense. These envelopes are arranged to arouse the least prejudice. The “Circulating Library” sells for 25 cents a set, or five sets for $1, post-paid. THE tract “Celestial Railroad,” is now ready for delivery, and is issued as No. 44 of “Words of Truth Series.” It contains 32 large pages. Its author was Nathaniel Hawthorne, an American writer of considerable prominence, and it appeared first in the U. S. Magazine, of May, 1843. Under the figure of riding on a train, instead of walking in a path, it follows quite closely the style and story of Bunyan, and is really an up-to-date “Pilgrim’s Progress.” It was doubtless intended as an irony against the worldly, lifeless, and pharisaic religion of modern times. As such, it is a severe rebuke and a solemn warning. In the present edition several changes and additions have been made to better adapt it to latter-day conditions. It ought to quicken religious thought, arouse those who are asleep spiritually, and by its unique style of calling attention to the deplorably fallen condition of the religious world, deter as many as possible from being deceived and lost. Price, 2 cents each, $1.60 a hundred. EVERY true disciple is born into the kingdom of God as a missionary. No sooner does he come to know the Saviour, than he desires to make others acquainted with him. The saving and sanctifying truth can not be shut up in his heart.—“Ministry of Healing,” page 102. FOR home study, there is no book better than the “Seer of Patmos.” The one book of the Bible upon which the modern theologians have the least to say, should be the book with which Seventh-day Adventists are the most familiar. A complete set of questions on each chapter appears in the back of the book, making it very convenient for family study. The price, $1, is within the reach of all. A BETTER title could not have been found for Mrs. E. G. White’s latest book than “Ministry of Healing.” The book carries out its title all the way through. Woven in with the suggestions on right living are some excellent thoughts on the Christian life and how to keep the spiritual being healthy. These thoughts are all practical, and are of the kind that help us every day. Why not order a copy of this book to-day? Price, $1.50; 15 cents extra for postage. FROM far-off New Zealand comes this encouraging testimonial for the Sabbath School Worker: “The Worker is a real blessing to me. Its words of encouragement and practical instruction to workers make it an indispensable help in this branch of the work. We are doing all we can to extend its circulation in this field, for we feel that it should be in every Seventh-day Adventist home.” Are you doing all you can to help in the circulation of this most valuable aid to the Sabbath-school? Surely you can not afford to miss the benefits of this paper, when the price is only 35 cents a year for single copies, and 25 cents in clubs. WE frequently receive requests from canvassing agents and the people at large for Bibles to sell. To such we have replied in the past that we handle only imported Bibles, which, on account of excellent quality and added customs, we have not been able to furnish at a large discount. But we are glad now to announce that we have just negotiated for the purchase of a large edition of foreign Bibles, on which we can make better discounts than usual, and we would be pleased to correspond with those who desire to sell an excellent Bible at reasonable rates. These Bibles are printed on fine India paper, and have the same large type as our “Quart in a Pint” Bibles, and of the same convenient sizes. We have a limited number of neat leather-bound prospectuses, and to each person who can use one to advantage we will send it free.

C., and Battle Creek, Mich.; Pacific Press Publishing Company, Mountain View, Cal., also Portland, Ore., and Kansas City, Mo.; Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tenn., and Fort Worth, Tex.
