TWO VALUABLE BOOKS

The PRINTING-PRESS AND THE GOSPEL

A Recruiting Agency for Gospel Workers, by E. R. Palmer. It is a record of the “courage and devotion, sacrifice and success, of the printers and colporteurs who have pioneered the way for other great religious movements,” and “an inspiration to those who are called of God to proclaim the gospel in its final setting.”

The book gives an outline of the history of printing from the invention of type to the time when Catholicism said, “We must root out printing or printing will root out us.”

From the revival of letters, and the illustrious battle waged by Luther with his mighty pen, the narrative takes us to the time when printing, “the engine of the Reformation,” had gathered to its standard Zwingli of Switzerland, Wyclif of England, the Huguenots of France, and the Waldenses of Italy, and with its powerful projectiles made breaches in the walls of Catholicism.

Leaving the strenuous days of the middle ages, we are taken by the author to the remote portions of the earth, where Morrison, Mackay, Judson, Moffat, Williams, and others blazed the way among heathen and barbarous tribes, and where missionaries of our day are traveling in comparative safety. Incidents in the lives of Christian workers, stories of God’s providences, and experiences, achievements, and successes of other servants of the Master occupy the latter portions of the book.

Thrilling in its narratives, fascinating in its descriptions, and inspirational in the lessons drawn from its illustrations, the book will be a valued addition to any library. It contains 274 pages, is printed from clear type on thin paper, and is bound in red flexible leather, stamped in gold. Price, 60 cents.

The CONFLICT BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOR

A fair, candid, and impartial treatment of the subject from a non-partizan and Christian standpoint, by E. T. Russell. One writer has well said, “The terrible struggles between capital and labor, with the appalling prospects of world-embracing organizations on both sides, are the darkest aspects of an irresistible tendency.”

This new book is brimful of the most interesting information regarding one of the greatest problems facing our country at the present time. What has led to the present strained relationship between employer and employee? What is the remedy? This is fully described in the volume “Capital and Labor.” Unlike other books on the same subject, which have been written by partizans of one class or the other, and which therefore have presented but one side of the subject, this book was written by a non-partizan from an unbiased standpoint, and points out not only the evils involved, but a remedy for those evils.

With hundreds of labor organizations championing the cause of their members, regardless of the merits of their cases, and with a thousand trusts operating in this country and others under consideration, the industrial problem must be a serious one, and demands the attention of every sober-minded person. Many valuable facts and figures have been collected for this book, which make it a volume not to be overlooked in the study of important present-day subjects.

The book contains 208 pages, 51 illustrations, besides tables and diagrams showing the production of gold; the increase of wealth; the formation and capitalization of various trusts; the strikes from 1881 to 1911, with the number of men involved, and the effects of these strikes upon the country in general. An emblematic cover design in four colors. Price, 75 cents.
