The Largest Book for the Least Money

By O. E. Davis

As a rule, mankind is on the lookout for good bargains. The largest amount for the least cost, is the maxim; however, this is not a safe rule in all cases, for often the largest value is not in quantity, but in quality. When one is so fortunate as to get both of these, quality and quantity, for a small sum, he usually thinks it strange that others do not make an investment. Now, reader, what do you think of getting over twenty-five hundred pages of the size of an ordinary book, of the choicest and most helpful reading-matter, for the small sum of $1.75?

I now have seven volumes of such a work. It is issued annually, and you can not procure back volumes, but the present issues are just as good, and of increasing interest to all who are looking for the second coming of Christ. You inquire the title of this work? It is called the REVIEW AND HERALD, and is fresh every week, not only from the press, but, in a large measure, from the throne of God, as much of its contents is heaven inspired; and no believer in the soon-coming Saviour can afford to be without this work at hand.

As a reference work it never becomes obsolete. Most of the matter is not procurable in any other work published. For instance, the editorials and contributed articles can not be found elsewhere, and they are an inspiration to all.

Again, take the reports of the rise and progress of the work in the different parts of the world; these reports, when first read, were present occurrences; now those same reports have become history to us. Another very important point that should be noticed is the articles from the pen of Mrs. E. G. White that appear in the REVIEW. Most of these are not procurable elsewhere.

My first subscription to the REVIEW, about twenty years ago, cost two dollars,

and I have always considered it the cheapest paper on earth because of the message it bears. The value of these messages can not be counted in dollars and cents.

As I reread the articles that appeared after the burning of the Review and Herald Office at Battle Creek, and the earnest appeals that followed, my soul is fired with zeal to push to my utmost the triumphs of this message. It seems to me that we have not correctly valued the good old REVIEW.

How shall we get these volumes? First, subscribe for the paper; then write to the Office for a binder, which will cost only twenty-five cents, and each week carefully place the paper in the binder, and at the year’s end you will have a volume that you would not let go for far more than it cost you. Try the plan, brother, and I feel sure you will not miss your subscription to the REVIEW, and the price will look smaller as you see the volumes accumulating. As we near the end, the heaven-sent messages will grow more precious. O. E. DAVIS.
