Our Publishing Work

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.

HAVE you seen Life and Health for January? It is now ready. Read outline of contents which will be found on the last page.

“How is your cold?” is a question frequently heard at this time of the year. “What are you doing for it?” is often the next question. Some people, for lack of knowledge of proper treatment, attempt to “wear out a cold,” thus weakening the system and opening the way for some more serious malady. Dr. Heald’s booklet on “Colds” tells how to prevent them, how to “abort” or stop one when it has been taken, and also gives instructions for home treatment. White vellum, 25 cents.

“To parents, teachers, and students, all pupils in earth’s preparatory school, this book is dedicated. May it aid them in securing life’s greatest benefits, development, and joy in service here, and thus a fitness for that wider service, the ‘higher course,’ open to every human being in the school of the hereafter.” This is the author’s preface in that most excellent book “Education,” by Mrs. E. G. White. A perusal of its pages will amply repay any teacher, student, or parent. Cloth, $1.25.

THE Sabbath-school Lesson Quarterly containing the lessons for the first quarter of 1906 is now ready. The lessons are topical studies on the Word of God, the Being and Attributes of God, the Divinity of Christ, Creation and Redemption, Miracles of the Bible, the New Birth, the Obedience of Faith, Prayer, A Modern Apostasy, The Old Paths, Rewards and Punishments. In view of the present tendency in the religious world, no more important subjects than these can be studied at this time. Price, 5 cents.

Do you know of any better book to circulate now than “Great Controversy”? It contains the truth for this time, and shows the difficulties and dangers just ahead, at the same time pointing out the pathway of safety and deliverance. Seventh-day Adventist canvassers of experience who are devoting their time to the sale of books which do not contain present truth, should stop and consider whether they can be excused longer from using their talents directly in the work of the Lord. We appeal to all such to think this matter over carefully and prayerfully. We believe that “Great Controversy” should be circulated more widely in 1906 than any other one of our publications. Not only the canvassers, but all the people should engage in this work. Loan your own copies, brethren and sisters, sending them on their mission of helpfulness. Do not let them stand on your shelves covered with dust. Who will join in this campaign for 1906?

A good book for the unconverted and for the doubting church-member is that excellent book “Steps to Christ.” Keep several copies on hand to loan. Paper, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.

HAVE you read the latest volumes of the “Testimonies for the Church”? They contain important instruction for this time. Volume VII was published in 1902, and Volume VIII in 1904. Price, 75 cents each in cloth, or $1.25 each in flexible leather.

Do not let anything prevent you from following up the interest created by the use of the printed page or by personal visits. Don’t delay. Follow up the work before the interest wanes, or something else takes the attention. The Master expects this of you. It is “his work” committed to your hands.

“COMING KING” shows how the events that are taking place about us in the world fulfil the Scripture predictions, and indicate the near coming of Christ. Hundreds of thousands of copies have been sold, and many are the people whose attention has been called to the truth by this book. Agents are wanted everywhere to engage in its sale. Plain cloth, $1; cloth, gilt, $1.50.

THOUSANDS of Sunday-schools are now studying lessons on the life of Christ. Some of your neighbors are probably studying these lessons. Have you called their attention to “Desire of Ages,” and shown them what wonderful help it contains for them? A little booklet has been prepared which gives references from each lesson to the pages in “Desire of Ages” which treat the same topic. This booklet is furnished free to those who will use it in this way. Order from Review and Herald, Washington, D. C., or Battle Creek, Mich.

We most earnestly invite those who are engaged in the circulation of our literature in any form to send us a report of any interesting experience which they may have in their work. What results have been seen in your work with the Signs, Watchman, Life and Health, or with tracts or books? There is nothing more helpful or encouraging than to hear or read of how the Lord has blessed others in their efforts. Please consider this a personal request to you, dear reader, and let us hear from you. Address Publishers’ Page, Review and Herald, 222 North Capitol St. Washington, D. C.
