THE WORK — AND — THE WORKERS

A SISTER writes: “Please find enclosed ——, for which send me the dear old REVIEW AND HERALD,—food for the Sabbath-keeper.”
J. O. JOHNSON bears this testimony: “I congratulate the publishers on their maiden effort with Christian Education. If this represents the quality of the wine at the first feast, what will it be at the last?”
ALL classes, nations, and religionists are interested in Liberty. We have just received a subscription from a Jewish rabbi of New Brunswick, Canada. He also invited one of our ministers to speak on religious liberty in his synagogue.
CARRIE L. BURDICK: “I received the first copy of Christian Education, and feel that it will be especially helpful to our school-teachers. I am so well pleased with it that I would like to see it circulated among the people the same as Life and Health and some of our other good papers. I would like to see it have a wide circulation.”
MISS JENNETTE LEE has just sent in the following encouraging report: “I enclose $2 for the magazines recently sent me. I am grateful that I can feel daily that I am doing a good work. I received the 50 copies of the September number promptly, and sold them in one and one-half days. I am willing at all times to engage in the work of the Master.”
Liberty for the fourth quarter of 1909, in simplicity and practical adaptation to the conditions of the great majority of people, is the best number we have ever published. It answers many of the most vital questions associated with the great theme of religious liberty. If any are questioning the propriety of giving their support to temperance work on account of this being intimately associated with the National Reform movement, we recommend them to read the temperance articles in this number of Liberty.
SAYS Elder B. F. Kneeland: “I will confess that when I heard there was to be another magazine added to our already large list of such publications, a large doubt arose in my mind as to the advisability of launching such an enterprise at this time. But when I looked through the first copy, and found it so full of just the things that a teacher ought to know, and breathed its inspiring atmosphere of the real higher life, I decided that Christian Education is started on the right lines, and deserves to succeed. The wide-spread and startling educational apostasy of the present-day demands that more than ordinary efforts be put forth to stem the tide of infidelity and spiritism which is sweeping real Christianity out of our educational systems, and whose dreadful undertow is dragging many of the brightest minds of both school and church back to the rudiments of pagan philosophy.”
THE November number of Life and Health will help all in the matter of food and right living. It gives special instruction upon drinks, and cites scientific laws upon rest and recreation. It, in fact, contains much good common sense upon all the essentials of health and happiness.
GOOD records are increasing constantly. Here is one from Mary Sharpe: “I sold 1,845 copies of Life and Health here in Atlanta, Ga., during last November and December. I sold 1,100 copies of the August number, before the middle of the month. Sold as high as 594 copies in one week.”
ELDER WM. COVERT writes: “The last number of the Protestant Magazine is at hand. This is an excellent periodical, and deserves a wide circulation, both among our people and elsewhere. We shall find time to send out a nice list of subscribers in the near future, and shall encourage suitable persons to go out as agents for it.”
AUGUST GLATT says of our church paper: “I wish to say that the good old REVIEW is so good that we are very much pleased with it. It furnishes us with just the right kind of spiritual food. Last Sabbath I read an article about Brother Cady’s experiences among the islands, also one from Pitcairn Island, together with reports from many other parts of the great vineyard.”
Life and Health readers can be found among many professional people. Our workers are constantly reporting meeting with prominent people who are constant readers of this excellent journal. The following is a sample report just received: “I solicited a doctor yesterday, and he said, ‘Lady, I have taken that journal ever since it was first published. It is so good I wish it was in every home in this town.’”
