PRAYER AND SERVICE

By Editor

LIKE FAITH, Prayer without Service is Dead. In the life of Jesus prayer and service were united. The true object of prayer, indeed, is for wisdom and strength that we may the better serve mankind. Mohammedanism, Buddhism, Pharisaism, Roman Catholicism, and other systems of false worship, or one-sided Christianity, are largely the result of an attempt to divorce prayer and service, the two great essentials of true Christianity.

By distributing the truth-filled magazines described below, you will become a coworker with God in answering your prayers for the conversion of your friends and neighbors. May this Week of Prayer indeed mark the beginning of a new epoch of service in the life of every believer. Pray as you Work, and Work as you Pray.

The Gospel to Our Foreigners

Will not our colporteurs also remember the great foreign populations in our large cities and elsewhere, and take with them a few copies, at least, of our three beautiful German, Swedish, and Danish-Norwegian ten-cent magazines?

German

Zeichen der Zeit, published quarterly; yearly subscription, 30 cents. Single copy, 10 cents.

Swedish

Tidens Tecken, published quarterly; yearly subscription, 30 cents. Single copy, 10 cents.

Danish-Norwegian

Lys over Landet, published quarterly; subscription price, 35 cents a year; 10 cents a copy.

Uniform Prices of All Our Magazines

Single copy, 10 cents; 5 to 40 copies, postage prepaid, 5 cents a copy; 50 or more copies, 4 cents a copy.

This feature enables every agent to calculate in advance the exact cost of any shipment of these magazines. To obtain these low rates, however, one must order not less than the number specified, of any one magazine. For instance, a combination order for 25 Life and Health and 25 Protestant Magazine or Signs Monthly or the Watchman, will not be counted as one order for 50 copies at the 4-cent-a-copy rate.
