By Editor

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Psalm 68:11.

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.

IN “Almost a Man,” parents will find a chaste and proper presentation of the mystery of life which they will not hesitate to place in the hands of a son who is approaching that time of life when his mind begins to inquire into such matters. The book contains a doctor’s talks to boys, and ought to be placed in the hands of every boy. Cloth, new edition, 50 cents.

THE wonderful depth of meaning in that familiar text, “God so loved the world,” is beautifully and strikingly portrayed in a book entitled “The Lover’s Love.” Its apt illustrations help to forcibly impress what an outpouring of heaven there was in the “unspeakable gift.” It is a devotional book filled with practical suggestions which will be helpful to all. Full cloth, $1 each.

WE are glad to announce that a mutually satisfactory agreement has been made with Brother F. E. Belden, by the terms of which this association will publish his two books “Christ in Song” and “Bible Object Lessons and Songs for Little Ones.” We hope to have an edition of “Christ in Song” ready for delivery by February 10, and an edition of “Bible Object Lessons” will be ready soon after. Orders for these books should be sent to your regular source of supply.

WITH the January issue the Sabbath School Worker attains its majority. It is twenty-one years old. A brief retrospective glance at its history appears in the January issue. The Worker is well liked, and is almost indispensable to every Sabbath-school officer or teacher. The special Convention Number (October, 1905) is still in demand, and its most excellent suggestions have been greatly appreciated. Clubs of two or more copies of the Worker will be sent to any address at the rate of 25 cents a copy, a year.

MUCH is made of the man who succeeds, and it is an inspiration to read of men who have had the courage of their convictions, and in their efforts for wealth or fame have pressed through difficulties, overcome obstacles, and attained the goal for which they started. In Elder Haskell’s book “Story of Daniel the Prophet” is the record of a successful career. Daniel was successful in the affairs of this life, and he was successful in his efforts to please God. This is a splendid book to put in the hands of young persons or old. While it explains in an interesting way the prophecies, it also dwells upon the life principles which actuated Daniel, and which made of him “a man greatly beloved.” The book is neatly bound and well illustrated, and costs $1 a copy, post-paid.

ARE you a stenographer? If so, are you engaged in denominational work? If you answer this question in the affirmative, then you will need a little book prepared by one of the best stenographers in the denomination—Brother H. E. Rogers, secretary of the General Conference president. The book is “Special Contractions in Shorthand,” and explicit instructions are given regarding methods of practise which will be most helpful to those who wish to excel. By the use of this book, the briefest “shortcuts” can be employed, and the contractions are indicated in such a way as to be thoroughly understood by all writers of the Pitmanic system. Pocket size, flexible cloth, 50 cents.

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”

“In ancient times God spoke to men by the mouth of prophets and apostles. In these days he speaks to them by the Testimonies of his Spirit. There was never a time when God instructed this people more earnestly than he instructs them now concerning his will, and the course that he would have them pursue.” [Published in 1876.]—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. IV, page 148. Concerning a view given about twenty years ago, the writer says: “I was then directed to bring out general principles, in speaking and in writing, and at the same time specify the dangers, errors, and sins of some individuals, that all might be warned, reproved, and counseled.” [Published in 1871.]—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. II, page 687.

IN view of the special instruction which the “Testimonies for the Church” contain, and the urgent need for their careful study just now by all our people, we give herewith description and prices: “Testimonies for the Church” numbers one to thirty-four are published in six volumes, uniform in style. The price is $1 a copy in cloth, or $6 a set; these six volumes are also bound in library (sheep) binding at $1.50 a copy, or $9 a set. Volumes VII and VIII, containing Testimonies numbers thirty-five and thirty-six, are furnished in cloth at 75 cents a copy. The last four volumes published can be supplied in an especially desirable and serviceable binding—red flexible leather, round corners. This style is much appreciated, and the prices are $1.50 a copy for volumes V and VI, and $1.25 a copy for volumes VII and VIII. A complete set of these important messages ought to be in every Seventh-day Adventist home.
