THE WORK AND THE WORKERS

By Editor

Every girl will be anxious to read the timely article (illustrated) telling all about “Camp-Fire Girls,” in the January Life and Health. Read their rules of life.
The December number of Life and Health went “like hot cakes.” Entire edition exhausted by December 1. January number full of the best things. Order early.
“What I Know About Reducing the Cost of Living.” Are you interested? See symposium of seven practical articles in the January Life and Health, just off the press. Well worth $1.00, the price of a year’s subscription.
Evangelist E. L. Cardey reports another sale of over 300 copies of the Protestant Magazine at the close of his recent lecture in Schenectady, N. Y., under the auspices of the Guardians of Liberty. A number of subscriptions were also taken. Remember, ten six-month subscriptions, to ten different addresses, cost only $3.00, or 30 cents each.
Three mail-sacks loaded with letters protesting against President Wilson’s proposed attendance at the Pan-American Thanksgiving mass are said to have been received at the White House office the day before Thanksgiving. For the full account of this persistent effort of Rome to bring the highest officials of our republic to the feet of the Catholic hierarchy, see the January Protestant Magazine.
In spite of some ten thousand protests from Protestants throughout the United States, President Wilson, his Cabinet, and other prominent officials attended the fifth Pan-American Thanksgiving mass in St. Patrick’s Church, Washington, D. C., Thursday, November 27. If you wish to know more about the details of this much-to-be-regretted affair, read the January number of the Protestant Magazine. It will contain photographs of St. Patrick’s Church, President Wilson, Cardinal Gibbons, Secretary Bryan, and Monsignor Russell, who figured prominently in the mass. Send in your $1.00 for a year’s subscription. While they last, the October, November, and December, 1913, numbers will be thrown in with every $1.00 subscription for 1914.
A prominent business man of Jacksonville, Fla., writes thus in renewing his yearly subscription for the Protestant Magazine: “I want to express my keen regret that I haven’t the money to send you that you might mail to every clergyman in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and especially to the ritualistic end of it, a copy of your December number, in which you have featured ‘the mass,’ and shown its absolute inconsistency with Scripture, logic, and ordinary common sense; for without question there is a steady growth of ritualism and ‘mass’ services in the denomination of which I am a member. May the Lord bless you in your work of exposing the fallacies, but more especially the political tactics, of the Church of Rome. Fraternally yours.”
Remember that up to midnight, Feb. 2, 1914, you may subscribe for the REVIEW, Life and Health, Liberty Magazine, and Protestant Magazine, for one year, at the special rate of only $3.70. Regular price of this club of four, $4.35.
A few days ago a prominent city official from Baltimore made the trip to Washington and back in order to secure ammunition to oppose Romanism. It did not take him long to find the office of the Protestant Magazine. Have you sent in your list of ten six-month subscriptions for $3.00?
“Diet in Lung Trouble,” “Appendicitis,” “Mushrooms,” “Mad Dogs,” “Two-Meal System,” and “Mosquito Prevention” are a few of the interesting questions discussed in the Questions and Answers department of the January Life and Health. Send 10 cents in stamps for one copy, or $1.00 for 20.
Sunday, November 16, President Wilson courteously accepted, and slipped into his overcoat pocket, two copies of the Protestant Magazine, as he was leaving a well-known office-building in the city of Washington. They were the October and December numbers, otherwise known as the “Make America Catholic” and “Idolatry of the Mass” numbers.
The Columbia Religious Liberty Association held a convention in Baltimore, Md., the first week in December, to counter the work of the national Lord’s Day Alliance in its attempt to enforce Sunday legislation. During the first two days of our convention, 450 copies of the “America” number of Liberty were purchased by members of the Baltimore church for campaign work.
Rev. —, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Kansas, writes to Life and Health as follows: “I am writing you for information relative to taking up the agency for your magazine. Would like to know your terms to agents, and also whether your representatives act as agents for more than the one magazine. I desire to be a traveling representative. Enclosed herewith find letter of reference; I trust the same will be satisfactory. Thanking you in advance for a reply, I am.”
Brother F. E. Painter, general missionary agent for the Northern Union Conference, writes: “We expect to give the magazines a prominent place in our institutes. Have suggested to our field agents that they arrange for a number of short institutes of two or three days in their largest churches, for the purpose of giving instruction on how to sell the magazines and the home workers’ books. Brother Shrewsbury, the Minnesota field agent, and I have just closed a series of these institutes and another series is arranged for in South Dakota. I am to leave soon to go there to assist in conducting them. In two weeks we shall begin the organization of our ‘canvassers’ bands’ in the schools, and we expect to prepare a number of the young ladies to sell magazines. In our spring institutes we shall give instruction as to selling magazines. I think it is a good idea to have our book canvassers who can do so, spend their Saturday evenings and Sundays in the sale of magazines. Of course, this can be done only when they are working in town or near enough to town to get on easily. Minnesota and Iowa will be our best conferences for the magazines.”
From far-off Algeria, Brother R. T. E. Colthurst applies for agency for the Protestant Magazine. He writes: “I could use back numbers of the Protestant, Liberty, and Life and Health to give away or to sell in my mission work on incoming tourist steamers, in hotels, etc.”
“I am in love with the Protestant and Liberty magazines,” writes a business man in Erie, Pa. “So please find enclosed $1.35 in payment of one year’s subscription to both. I also imagine I should delight to note the contents of ‘The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan’ [advertised on Protestant cover], as spiritual things must be spiritually discerned. But I cannot spare the money just now. America for Americans, first, last, and all the time.”
Why not save $2.10 by taking advantage of the special offer now being made on a club subscription for the following seven Review and Herald periodicals and magazines? Here is the list: REVIEW, Life and Health, Liberty Magazine, Protestant Magazine, Youth’s Instructor, Christian Education, and Sabbath School Worker. Regular price of these seven, $7.10. Club price, when ordered all at one time, only $5.00. Order through your tract society.
A “Picture Section” will hereafter appear in every issue of the Protestant Magazine; also a “Scrap-Book” page containing “useful material for writers and speakers—reliable quotations with definite references.” The editor says to tear this page out and paste it in your scrap-book. We doubt, however, whether many subscribers will consent to mutilate their copies even to that extent. This is one of the very few magazines that should be filed away intact, each number being an up-to-date scrap-book in itself.
Do you protest against Rome? If so, you should know why. Real Protestants must know more about the principles of Romanism than Catholics themselves. The Protestant Magazine will help you to “give a reason” for the Protestant faith that is within you. In its fearless yet dignified campaign against Roman Catholicism and weak-kneed “Protestantism,” it uses and places at your command the invincible weapons of Reason, History, and Revelation. Read it carefully, and pass it on to others. Send us $2.00 for two yearly subscriptions, and we will send the magazine to your address for one year free of charge. Or, for $3.00, we will send it to ten different addresses for six months.
The governor of your State, his cabinet, your supreme court judges, sheriffs, attorneys, and public-school boards and teachers should be readers of both Liberty and Protestant. Five or more copies of any single issue of either of these magazines will be mailed by the publishers to addresses you may furnish, at only 5 cents each. Or, ten yearly subscriptions for Liberty will cost you only $2.00, or ten six-month subscriptions for the Protestant, only $3.00. We have an up-to-date list of the names of all the attorneys in the United States and Canada, so you need simply to tell us the number of attorneys you would like to send the magazines to, and what section of the country you wish to evangelize in this way.
