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.

A SPECIAL effort is to be made by the various conferences in the Atlantic Union to complete the sale of their quota of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” The Western Pennsylvania Conference has ordered 1,200 copies.

THE “continuous missionary campaign” is going forward encouragingly in some places. Now is a most favorable time to scatter tracts and periodicals, as people utilize the long winter evenings by reading. “Not a wasted moment,” should be our motto.

THE subject under consideration in Bible Students’ Library No. 191 is “The Priesthood.” This title might suggest the Roman Catholic Church to some minds, but this treatise deals with the topic from the Bible standpoint, the priesthood in both the Old and the New Testament being inseparably connected with the work of man’s salvation. Price, 1 cent a copy, 80 cents a hundred.

BE sure to specify, when ordering, which one of the Special Testimonies recently printed you desire. The first one is “Series B, No. 6,” and is concerning our “Youth Going to Battle Creek to Obtain an Education.” The one just printed is “Series B, No. 7,” and contains “Messages of Warning and Instruction to Seventh-day Adventists Regarding Dangers Connected with the Medical Missionary Work.” Each contains 64 pages, and the price of each is 5 cents.

A BROTHER in Ohio who is able to devote only a small portion of his time to canvassing, reports having taken twenty-nine dollars’ worth of orders for “Desire of Ages” in six hours, during the week ending February 2. These truth-filled books can be readily sold if faithful, intelligent effort is put forth. Thousands of copies of “Desire of Ages” ought to be placed in the hands of Sunday-school officers and teachers during 1906, while they are studying lessons on the life of Christ. A special booklet has been prepared for use with this class of people.

A FULFILMENT of the scripture, “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days,” has just come to our notice. Fifteen years ago a faithful worker sold a “Bible Readings” to a lady in Connecticut. The teaching it contained, especially on the Sabbath question, having impressed her mind, she was ready for obedience when a short time ago another worker met her and supplemented the work done by “Bible Readings,” with a few additional readings. With her also three others who had read the book accepted the Sabbath and other associated truths. It pays to sow the seed of truth. Great rewards are held in store for the faithful canvasser, for the Lord has promised to pay every worker “what is right.”

AT an institute recently held at Eau Claire, Wis., twenty-three persons took the drill preparatory to entering the canvassing work.

A BOOKMEN’S convention is to be held at Berrien Springs, Mich., just before the Lake Union Conference session begins. The date is April 14-18, and topics have already been assigned for the preparation of papers.

DON’T neglect a cold. Take proper treatment to “abort” or “break it up.” Dr. Heald’s book on “Colds” tells you just what to do to cure a cold, and what to do to prevent having one. Price, 25 cents.

ALL children will enjoy reading the true story of a little girl’s trip to Africa. Many strange scenes and peoples are described. “How a Little Girl Went to Africa” is nicely illustrated and handsomely bound, and is a nice present for a child. Price, $1.

MOTHERS who are teaching their children to read will appreciate the simple, graded lessons on Bible nature which are so intelligently prepared and so beautifully illustrated by Ella King Sanders in her book “Our Little Folks Bible Nature.” Prices: board, 25 cents; cloth, 40 cents.

MANY people honestly think that the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation are “closed” books, and can not be understood. This is what the enemy desires all to believe, but we who know the wonderful present-day truth which these prophecies contain should be active in circulating such books as “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation.” We can at least loan our own copy. Extra copies cost $2.25 for the cloth, marbled style, or $1 for cloth, thin paper edition.

THE “Year-Book” for 1906 has just been completed at our Battle Creek Office, and a supply will be found at our various depositories very soon. This book contains 164 pages, and comprises “a complete directory of the General Conference, union and local conferences and mission fields, educational institutions, publishing houses, periodicals, sanitariums, and benevolent institutions, together with the constitution of the General Conference, and brief historical summary of the denomination for the year 1905.” The delay in getting out the “Year-Book” has made it possible to incorporate nearly all the recent changes in union and local conference officers. All who wish to be informed as to the location of our workers in home and foreign fields will want a copy of this book. Price, 25 cents.

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.
