The March Number of CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

By Editor

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

A MAGAZINE FOR HOME AND SCHOOL

Here is a number which ought to be in the hands of every one who is interested in the great, broad subject of Christian Education—parent, teacher, student. This number is devoted to the special subject of physical and industrial training. The articles which it contains are especially timely, and combine to make the number one of unusual interest. Special subjects treated are Agriculture and the Industries and their relationship to Christian Education and Physical Culture in the Schools. Among the writers on these subjects are, Joseph H. Haughey, Instructor in Horticulture and Agriculture in Emmanuel Missionary College; M. Bessie DeGraw, of Madison, Tenn.; Prof. E. A. Sutherland, President of the Nashville Agricultural

and Normal Institute; Prof. Charles C. Lewis, President of Union College; Prof. M. E. Cady, of Walla Walla College, and others. The number is replete with helpful features. The work that has been accomplished in the industrial academies is set forth most interestingly, and in an equally interesting manner the needs of the field are also presented. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION occupies an important place among the periodicals of this denomination. Its importance should not be forgotten or overlooked. If you are not acquainted with this excellent publication, a copy of this number will serve as an excellent introduction. Single copies, 10c.; subscription price, 50c. a year. Published bimonthly; special rates in quantities.

The Gospel of Labor

Hewing wood and drawing water, splitting stones and clearing sod, All the dusty ranks of labor in the regiment of God March together toward His triumph, do the task His hands prepare; Honest toil is holy service; faithful work is praise and prayer. This is the gospel of labor—ring it, ye bells of the kirk— The God of love came down from above to live with men who work. This is the rose He planted here in the thorn-cursed soil; Heaven is blessed with perfect rest, but the blessing of earth is toil. —Henry van Dyke From “The Ruling Passion.”

The 1910 Year Book

“And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers.”

One of the latest books to be received from our bindery is the 1910 Year Book. This, as is generally known, is the handbook of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, and, as the title-page states, it comprises a complete directory of the General Conference, union and local conferences, and mission fields, educational institutions, publishing houses, periodicals, sanitariums, together with a statement of the fundamental principles, and the constitution of the General Conference. Many have been disposed to look upon this book as a reference work intended only for ministers and workers. Such is not the case. It ought to be in the hands of every Seventh-day Adventist family, as it contains a wealth of information which

every member of the denomination ought to have constantly at hand. The book costs only 25c. a copy; it should be considered an essential to the working library of every Adventist.

A Pocket DICTIONARY

“Wise words make truth to spangle, and its rays to shine.”

It is not so many years ago that the first dictionary was compiled and published; but to-day there are hundreds of them in all styles and sizes, from the encyclopedic form, running through dozens of volumes and occupying a whole library shelf, to the pocket dictionary, which, in the compass of a volume easily held between the thumb and finger, treats comprehensively the greater part of the words in the entire English language. Such a dictionary is that published by E. E. Miles and offered for sale at prices ranging from 25c. to 60c. We give this little book our heartiest endorsement; but the best endorsement it can receive is the large number who have used it, over 600,000 having been sold. This pocket dictionary contains 45,800 words and

their definitions. It has a thumb index, more convenient and more readily referred to than any other dictionary printed. Prices: in cloth, 25c.; in leather, 50c.; extra morocco, 60c.

Quiet Talks

“And after the fire a still small voice.”

Three great books which every one should read are: “Quiet Talks on Power,” “Quiet Talks on Prayer,” and “Quiet Talks on Service,” by S. D. Gordon. Each book is just what it purports to be, but is also a great deal more; for no one can appreciate the wealth of inspiration contained in each volume until after reading them. They are companion volumes, each treating its subject in the same way, with a number of short, convincing talks characterized by directness and a peculiar earnestness of

expression, all connected and yet each forming a separate chapter or a separate talk by itself. Every one of these volumes ought to be in the hands of every Seventh-day Adventist minister and worker. They are live books, full of spiritual truth. “Quiet Talks on Power” is in its one hundred thirty-fifth thousand. Ninety thousand volumes of “Quiet Talks on Prayer” have been issued, and of the third book, “Quiet Talks on Service,” forty-two thousand have been published. Uniformly bound in blue cloth. The price is 75c. a volume.
