A New Missionary Series

By Editor

BEGINNING Jan. 1, 1917, the REVIEW AND HERALD EXTRA will be gradually merged into a new series under the name of The Present Truth. The topics of the new series will be the same, and will appear in the same order as given in the old REVIEW AND HERALD EXTRA series. The Present Truth will be issued as a regular publication, and will have all the advantages of second-class matter. It will be a one-topic bi-monthly, with the single subscription price of only 25 cents a year. In bulk orders, 25 copies will be 20 cents; 50 copies, 35 cents; 100 copies, 60 cents; and 1,000 copies, $5. These prices will also apply on the REVIEW AND HERALD EXTRA after January 1.
The issuing of Present Truth No. 1 will cancel No. 1 of the old Present Truth Series. Present Truth No. 2 will cancel Present Truth Series No. 2, and so on throughout the year, the old series being gradually replaced by the issuing of the corresponding numbers of Present Truth. All orders for the new series should be for Present Truth with the serial number desired; as, Present Truth No. 2, or Present Truth Nos. 1-24. Orders for the old series should be in the name of Present Truth Series, with the number of the issue desired, bearing in mind that every month of the year replaces two issues of the old series; or, in other words, two numbers of the old series are absorbed by the new series every month, beginning in January with No. 1.
Beginning with the first number of the new series, January 1, we will mail a full set of this series (one copy every two weeks) to the list of names we are now receiving for all classes. Names for this list should be sent in as early as possible. It will close January 1. We are now sending the old series to over thirty thousand of our relatives and friends, and much good is resulting. It was impossible entirely to close this list in any other way than to begin a new list January 1. This list is now open. We hope for another thirty thousand names for it. There is no more effective way to do missionary work than to send regularly a paper like Present Truth to an individual for a period of time. Many at first refuse to read it, but its continuance wins in many cases. Many people can be reached in no other way. Names for this list should be sent in between now and January 1. After that, names cannot be entered upon this January list.
