Our Publishing Work

By Editor

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Psalm 68:11.
At the recent biennial session of the Atlantic Union Conference at South Lancaster, Mass., Brother F. C. Gilbert reported that sixty thousand copies of his Hebrew tract, “Israel’s Restorer,” had been printed. A Hebrew was also present during a portion of the session of the conference who had become interested in the truth by reading one of these tracts. He is reported to be a Hebrew lecturer of marked ability. Action was taken at the conference looking toward more vigorous efforts in behalf of this nationality.
School-teachers and their pupils are joining the large force already engaged in selling Life and Health. The November number is a school children’s number, and is in great demand. The price is 5 cents a copy, but orders for 25 or more copies of this number will be furnished at 2½ cents each. Address Life and Health, Washington, D. C.
Have you seen a copy of Elder Haskell’s new book, “Story of the Seer of Patmos”? It is the latest production of a pioneer in this message, a man who is an earnest Bible student and teacher, whose instruction in Bible topics has helped and blessed thousands. “Seer of Patmos” is a study of Revelation, and with its companion volume, “Story of Daniel,” furnishes most valuable help in the study of the two most important prophetic books of the Bible. The price of the set is $2. Either book, singly, $1.
“We look with favor upon the plan of setting aside certain small, easy-selling books for the use of those who wish to canvass in their own neighborhoods.
“We recommend, That, beginning in early November, special efforts be made by conference workers and church officers to interest our people in the sale of forty-per-cent books.”
The above recommendation was passed by the General Conference at its last session. We give below a list of the books specially selected for this purpose:—
DESIRE OF AGES.— Plain edition: Cloth, $1.50. Library, $2. Russia limp, $2.
THOUGHTS ON DANIEL AND THOUGHTS ON REVELATION.— Pamphlet style only. Daniel, 25 cents. Revelation, 25 cents.
GREAT NATIONS OF TO-DAY.— Paper, 25 cents.
HIS GLORIOUS APPEARING.— Board, 25 cents. Cloth, 40 cents.
STEPS TO CHRIST.— Paper, 25 cents. Cloth, 50 cents.
THOUGHTS FROM THE MOUNT OF BLESSING.— Cloth, 60 cents.
EDUCATION.— Cloth, $1.25.
HELPS TO BIBLE STUDY.— Paper, 25 cents. Cloth, 50 cents.
VEGETARIAN COOK BOOK.— Cloth, 75 cents.
POWER FOR WITNESSING.— Paper, 25 cents.
THINGS FORETOLD.— Board, 50 cents.
HOW A LITTLE GIRL WENT TO AFRICA.— Red Cloth, $1.
OUR LITTLE FOLKS’ BIBLE NATURE.— Board, 25 cents. Cloth, 40 cents.
UNCLE BEN’S COBBLESTONES.— Board, 75 cents.
The above books are all subject to a discount of forty per cent to actual workers when ordered through the librarian of the church. No discount is allowed to individuals for books for their own use. They should be ordered from your conference tract society or from your nearest publishing house.
“Just what we have wanted for a long time” is what many say regarding the new, cloth-bound edition of “Hymns and Tunes.” For church services this is just the book, and the low price at which it is furnished will enable all to secure a liberal supply for church use. Price, 75 cents a copy. Bound in full cloth.
We still have a good supply of the Year-book for 1905, and are sure that our people who have not examined it do not understand what a large amount of valuable data it contains. Besides all the directories, statistical information, etc., it has a most excellent historical outline of the rise and progress of the denomination, giving important General Conference recommendations year by year, the dates of the organization of our various institutions, and lastly a condensed but very clear statement of the fundamental principles of the denomination. All this information will be useful for years to come, and will probably not appear in next year’s book. While our stock lasts, we will send a copy of the 1905 Year-book, post-paid, for 15 cents. Order now.
In Washington the ministers and church officers have been following up the work outlined for the campaign; and as the time set for the circulation of our books is here, they have asked how many would engage in the circulation of our books and periodicals. Nearly forty have expressed a desire to take up this work, and arrangements have been made for suitable instruction to be given these persons. A good leader will also be secured, and we shall expect good results from this effort. This same kind of work should be carried forward at this time in all our churches. And this effort should not stop after the holidays, for it is but a part of an “ever-increasing, mighty movement” which should know no cessation till the work is finished, and our Master comes.
Our edition of “Ministry of Healing” is now ready for delivery from our Battle Creek Office, and we will have a supply in Washington very soon. This beautiful book of 542 pages, full of such helpful matter, is dedicated by the author, Mrs. E. G. White, “to the physicians and nurses of every land, who, as coworkers with the Chief Physician, the great Medical Missionary, are laboring bravely and unselfishly to heal the sick, to comfort the afflicted, and to teach the way of life.” The author donates this, the latest of her books, to our people, to be used by them for the upbuilding of medical work in the denomination. All who took such an interest in the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” will now desire to have a part in the circulation of this new book to aid our sanitarium work. Write your conference tract society for full information regarding the use of the funds derived from the sale of the book in your conference. The price of “Ministry of Healing” is $1.65 a copy, if sent by mail.
Orders for any publication mentioned on this page may be sent to any conference tract society or to any of the following: Review and Herald Publishing Association, Washington, D. 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.
