The Missionary Volunteer Reading Courses

By M. E. K.

FROM every part of the United States and Canada, and from some foreign fields, come encouraging reports of many young people joining the Reading Courses. It is an omen of good. Our youth purpose to advance, to store their minds with useful knowledge, and prepare for the duties God has placed upon them in connection with the gospel work.

Inquiries are still being made regarding these courses, and for the sake of those who may yet desire to avail themselves of these opportunities this year, a brief statement of the plan of the work will be made.

The Senior Course comprises the following books:— 1. “The Price of Africa,” by S. Earl Taylor; paper, 35 cents; cloth, 50 cents. 2. “Passion for Men,” by Hallenbeck; paper, 20 cents; cloth, 40 cents. 3. “Ministry of Healing,” by Mrs. E. G. White; cloth, $1.50. 4. “Miracles of Missions” (fourth series), by Arthur T. Pierson; paper, 35 cents; cloth, $1.

The supply of “The Price of Africa” was exhausted, and a new edition had to be printed, but it can now be supplied in any quantity. Many should order the book at this time, and begin with those who have been delayed.

The Junior Course comprises:— 1. “Uganda’s White Man of Work,” by Sophia Lyon Fahs; paper, 35 cents; cloth, 50 cents. 2. “Early Writings,” by Mrs. E. G. White; paper, 35 cents; cloth, 75 cents; red flexible leather, $1.20; full morocco, gilt, $1.50. 3. “North America,” by Frank Carpenter; cloth, 60 cents.

The story of “Uganda’s White Man of Work”—Alexander Mackay—is one of unusual interest to boys and girls. And who can estimate the good that will be done if all our boys and girls are encouraged to read “Early Writings”? Here they get in the simplest language the whole story of the controversy with evil, and from this book they will catch the very spirit of this advent movement.

“Passion for Men”

Above all else, we need a genuine passion for the salvation of souls, and a knowledge of how to do personal work. This little book, which will be taken up in the Senior Reading Course in a few days, has been an inspiration and a help to all who have read it. A special paper edition has been printed for us, which sells for 20 cents.
