Our Publishing Work

By Editor

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

See last paragraph on this page for instructions where to order.

Boys and girls are wanted to sell Life and Health. Those who will take an active interest in this health journal can earn a good salary. We have a number of boys and girls who are making from ten to fifteen dollars a week selling this journal. Write to Life and Health, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C., for particulars.

Our Book Department has secured a line of Bibles, printed in the old country, which contain all the latest up-to-date features in Bible manufacture. These Bibles have the famous large “quart in a pint” type, plain Arabic figures—the kind the old folks like—for chapter headings. Furnished with or without a concordance and thumb index. Supplied to agents at a good discount. Every one wants large type in a small Bible. This line is the nearest approach to such a book that we know of. These Bibles are desirable for young and old. If you need a Bible, or are interested in Bible sales, write for descriptive circular of this very desirable edition. If you will sell five Bibles among your friends, you can get one of the best bindings free.

The following are some of the many good things said about the “Rogers’ Compendium”: “In arrangement, subject-matter, and teaching points it is unequaled.”—D. D. Warne, Syracuse, N. Y. “The best work ever published on shorthand.”—J. W. Draughon, Nelson and Draughon Business College, Fort Worth, Tex. “The best text on the Graham system that has ever come to my notice, and I have nearly every text published.”—Karl K. White, San Antonio, Tex. “The most complete and conscientious book on shorthand that I have ever seen, and I have been a writer for twenty years. . . . I would not take twenty dollars for the book for my personal use.”—Rev. Wm. I. Alexander, Elmira, Ill. “A brilliant star in comparison with most works of this character. One can not but be greatly benefited from a study of the ‘Compendium.’”—Wm. H. Price, Boston, Mass. “I have worked up a speed of two hundred words a minute with much less practise, I know, than would have been required by any other system.”—Ray E. Jones, Public Reporter, La Grande, Oregon.

Do not miss the June number of Life and Health. It is full of good instruction for all. Few realize the good this little health journal is accomplishing. We are constantly receiving through the mail expressions of appreciation for the journal. The following is a fair representation of some of these expressions: “I am much better in health, but am not able to quit the morphin yet. Still pray for me, please. I am thankful for improvement. Any one who wants to live and be happy should not be without Life and Health. Those January numbers were like life to me, for I was feeling very bad, and I just snatched it from my husband’s hand, I was so anxious; it seemed that God was sending me life through it. I still believe that he wishes me to do my part by grasping all the truth and good that comes from him; and he will heal me if he wills it, and I know he desires my recovery from the morphin habit. My heart goes up to God in thanks for Life and Health.”

Second Edition of the Earthquake Special

“Signs of the Times”

We are glad to announce that a second edition of the Special Earthquake number of the Signs of the Times has just been issued, accompanied by a beautiful supplement showing the great fire in San Francisco immediately following the earthquake. The photograph from which this engraving was made was taken on the morning of April 18, just six hours after the great tremblor. It is by far the finest view of the terrible calamity that we have seen, and the engraving itself is well worth the price of the paper. It is printed on heavy-coated book paper 9½ x 12 inches, suitable for framing.

This second edition contains many new and striking illustrations, as well as much new matter, thus bringing it right up to date.

The price, including the supplement, remains the same. In lots of less than one thousand, 3 cents a copy; 1,000 or more, 2½ cents a copy.

We are informed that over half a million copies of this special number have already been printed, and the employees of the Pacific Press are working night and day to fill orders.

Newsboys in several cities are selling them on the streets, and large orders have been sent in direct by news agents.

The editors of leading papers in different parts of the country have written the publishers complimenting them on this splendid issue, and asking permission to copy articles and use some of the illustrations. The editor of the Literary Digest was one of these. Thus the Signs is acknowledged to be the journal giving the best account of the terrible calamity of any paper published.

One encouraging feature about this whole campaign is the fact that no one is losing money by it, as the papers are being sold and not given away. It is self-supporting missionary work, and in addition to this, financial help is being given the Pacific Press, which was a great sufferer from this calamity.

But above and beyond all this is the splendid opportunity it affords us to give to the world the truth for these last days, with the assurance that the people will now read what is placed in their hands. Never before in the history of our work have we had such a grand opportunity as this.

We therefore appeal to our people once more to take hold of this work and give this special edition of the Earthquake Signs a wide circulation. With the changes that have been made in the illustrations and the addition of new reading-matter, accompanied by this beautiful supplement, the territory can be recanvassed and large numbers sold.
