Our Publishing Work

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 a hymn-book? Do not attend church from Sabbath to Sabbath and be deprived of taking part in the service of song because you have no book. You can get a cloth-bound copy of “Hymns and Tunes” for 75 cents.

THE great plan of redemption through Christ is beautifully and simply unfolded in Elder William Covert’s book, “Story of Redemption.” This book is nicely illustrated and printed in color. Prices: Plain cloth, $1; cloth, gilt, $1.25.

IT is not always living healthfully because one does not use flesh foods. Where such foods are discarded, it is necessary to know what foods should be substituted, and how to make proper combinations of food appetizingly prepared. The housewife will find just the practical help she needs for preparing vegetarian meals in the “Vegetarian Cook Book.” It contains 266 pages, and gives about 400 receipts for the preparation of dainty, healthful dishes. Price, 75 cents.

THE great Reformation of the sixteenth century and the battles waged against error by Luther and his associates, contain many lessons of importance for these times. Merle D’Aubigne did Christianity a distinct service in writing the history of this great movement, and it would be well if all the people of this generation could read his “History of the Reformation.” It is profitable reading for our own people, especially our young people. We offer a five-volume set of the authentic edition at $2.75, post-paid.

To impress the impossibility of any individual’s keeping in active touch with denominational work without the church paper, we quote the following from the Pacific Christian Advocate: “What church paper do you take?”—“None.” “Why?”—“Haven’t time to read one; take more papers now than I can read.” “When and where is our next State convention?”—“Don’t know.” “What is our Foreign Board doing now?”—“Don’t know.” “Have we a Foreign Board, anyhow?”—“Think we have, but don’t know for certain.” “Who are its secretaries?”—“Don’t know.” “Is it doing anything?”—“’S’pose it is; don’t really know.” “How much money did it raise last year?”—“Don’t know.” “Who are our home missionaries?”—“Don’t know.” “Where is home missionary work most needed?”—“Don’t know.” “What is our membership in the United States?”—“Don’t know.” “What is it in this State?”—“Don’t know.” “Where are we the strongest?”—“Don’t know.” “Who are some of our strongest men?”—“Don’t know.” “Is our cause making much progress at present?”—“Don’t know.” “What good are you to the church, anyhow?”—“Don’t kn——that is, I—well, you see.”

HAVE you a set of the bound volumes of “Testimonies for the Church”? Can you afford to deprive yourself of the special, last-days’ instruction which they contain?

THE demand for Dr. Heald’s book on “Colds” has necessitated the printing of a second edition. This is now ready, and all orders can be filled promptly. Price, 25 cents.

A LIBRARY in your vest pocket is possible if you have a copy of our “New Webster Dictionary and Vest Pocket Library.” Prices: Cloth, 25 cents; leather, 50 cents; extra morocco, 60 cents.

THE retail value of sales from our Battle Creek Office in the Lake Union Conference during the month of January was $2,597.82. Of this amount $1,613.45 was for subscription books, $172.75 for trade books, $331.50 for relief books, and the remainder represents the sales of tracts, etc.

WE have recently received a new supply of those two most excellent books by Elder S. N. Haskell—“Story of Daniel the Prophet” and “Story of the Seer of Patmos.” These books are meeting with a ready sale, and will accomplish much good wherever circulated and read. Price of each is $1 a copy.

A NEW edition of “Christ Our Saviour” and “Gospel Primer,” Spanish, is now off the press. These books have been out of stock for some time. We are sure our brethren in the Spanish fields will be pleased to know that books can now be obtained at the following prices: “Christ Our Saviour,” board 50 cents, cloth 75 cents; “Gospel Primer,” board 25 cents, cloth 50 cents. Discount to workers.

IN a single morning’s mail recently received at our Battle Creek Office, there were three letters inquiring where the writers could procure a copy of “Bible Readings.” One letter was from Arkansas, one from West Virginia, and one from New York. We have been led to believe that the time would come when publications containing the truth for this generation would be sought after. Does not this incident indicate that this time is at hand? Are you doing your part in giving the light to those who are seeking for it in your neighborhood?
