WHAT an inspiration one often gets from some old truth presented in a new setting. Such a setting is given to some of the Master's monosyllabic commands in the little book “The Master's Greatest Monosyllables.” It takes up such words as “come,” “go,” “do,” and presents a wealth of helpful suggestions and illustrative incidents concerning each one. Neatly bound in cloth, 50 cents.

DON’T forget that the Sunday-schools which use the International Series of Lessons begin to study the “Life and Words of Christ,” the first of January, and that, knowing what a valuable help “Desire of Ages” is for such a study, you owe it to those whom you can reach with this most excellent book to bring it to their attention. Some are already so engaged, and many more ought to be. You can loan some one your own copy if nothing more.

BIRD study can be carried on even in winter and in the Northern States. Food is more scarce now, and the birds will respond more quickly to our overtures to get acquainted. A better book for a boy is not easily found than “My Garden Neighbors.” It tells of the habits and customs of various birds and animals in such an interesting way that boys will appreciate it, and the instruction in bird study is most excellent and easily understood. The book is nicely illustrated, and is furnished, post-paid, at $1 a copy.

EVERY act of Christ’s life was important in itself and in its teaching, and a careful study of it in detail can not fail to be of great benefit to every individual. What did he do under temptation or in the midst of constant labor? Did he summon strength which we may not have? The fierceness of the conflict between Christ and Satan, and Christ’s wonderful victory for himself and for us, are vividly portrayed in the book “Desire of Ages.” Using Christ and those associated with him as illustrations and drawing lessons from their experiences, this book becomes a veritable guide in Christian life, and answers, more fully than any other book published, the question, “What would Jesus do?” Its precious instruction in regard to how to deal with the erring—even those who are known to be wrong—is most timely in these days of jealousy and criticism. It will be a blessing to your own soul to read it carefully, and then, while filled with the blessing and help which its pages bring to your own soul, tell your neighbors how it has helped you, and let them read it. Extra copies can be secured at $1.50 in plain cloth, without illustrations; $2.50 illustrated, thin paper, narrow margins; or $3.50 finely illustrated, full cloth, calendered paper.

THAT School Children’s Number of Life and Health is selling rapidly. You can still secure a supply to sell to your friends and neighbors. It will be appreciated, will not create prejudice, and will open the way for the sale of other publications. Single copy, 5 cents; 25 or more copies to one address, 2½ cents a copy.

THE Quarterly containing the Sabbath-school lessons for the first three months of 1906 is now ready. It contains a series of lessons on such topics as: The Word of God; Testimony of the Scriptures Concerning the Being and Attributes of Christ; Divinity of Christ; Creation and Redemption; Miracles of the Bible; New Birth; Obedience of Faith; Prayer; Modern Apostasy; Old Paths; Rewards and Punishments. A careful study of the subjects is of special importance just now in view of the present trend of the religious world. Price, 5 cents. Order as usual.

THOSE Signs Leaflets are most excellent for gratuitous circulation. They are sixteen in number, and treat on the various phases of Bible truth for this time. An assorted package of eighteen of each leaflet will be sent, post-paid, for 50 cents. Any single leaflet costs at the rate of 15 cents a hundred. Sold only by the hundred or in assorted packages as described above.

ALL the girls and a good many of the boys will be interested in the story of a little ten-year-old girl’s trip to Africa and return. Think of all the strange scenes and peoples she would see on such a journey, and remember that the story is told in the direct, straightforward style of a child. Such a book is “How a Little Girl Went to Africa.” Price, $1 each.

THE continued agitation in various States for better Sunday observance, and for laws to enforce such observance, should make us more diligent than ever in the use of that excellent series of Religious Liberty Leaflets. The series embraces four envelope-size tracts which quite thoroughly cover the principles. No. 1 is entitled “Principles Too Little Understood;” No. 2, “Sunday Laws; Their Origin, Nature, and Object;” No. 3, “The Logic of Sunday Legislation.” Each of these contains eight pages, and the price is 38 cents a hundred. No. 4 is entitled “The Civil Sabbath,” and contains twelve pages, the price being 55 cents a hundred. One conference (Nebraska) has ordered twenty thousand sets of these tracts, and in many other conferences they ought to be scattered liberally.
