Home and Health

From every quarter come the questions, “What about ‘Home and Health’?” “What does it teach?” We are glad to explain that “Home and Health” is a large health subscription book of 592 pages, thoroughly illustrated, and designed especially for home reference in the treating of the many details pertaining to the home and the care of the body.

It reveals some of the most practical means by which we may make our homes visible types of the invisible home above.

In truth, it is a book of real merit and practical value.

It is a book that appeals to the people— a book that they will buy and never regret.

Report of the Sabbath-School and Young People’s Convention

Orders are beginning to come in for the “Report of the Sabbath-school and Young People’s Convention,” recently held at Mount Vernon, Ohio. This Report will prove to be very valuable to all who are interested in Sabbath-school and young people’s work.

This meeting of which full report is given, was attended by over 200 delegates from all parts of the United States, who spent the entire time upon the definite work of the Sabbath-school and young people’s organizations. The meeting has been considered, by all who attended, one of the best that has ever been held. It was, in fact, the first general meeting ever called to consider the special work of these two departments. The result of the convention will surely be to give a new impetus to the work, for the note that rang through all the meeting and was echoed by all the papers and discussions was the finishing of this work.

The Report will contain the convention sermon by C. C. Lewis, and also the morning lessons on biographical sketches of Bible characters, which are in themselves worth more than the price of the pamphlet.

The report is one that can be used for reference for a long time by those engaged in Sabbath-school and young people’s work, and for this reason a thorough index has been added for convenience. Those who secure this report will doubtless find it better than any other report ever issued at the price named. It will be much appreciated, and those who desire it should order early while it can be supplied. The pamphlet that contains this report ought by rights to sell for 25 cents, but in order that our people may have the benefits of the proceedings, the very low price of 10 cents has been made.

The Spirit of Prophecy

The new pamphlet entitled “The Spirit of Prophecy,” by G. A. Irwin, is being very much appreciated throughout the field. The first large binding order has now been ordered out, and a new order has been placed for another supply.

This new and important work on the subject of the spirit of prophecy, its relation to the law of God, and its place in the plan of salvation, contains 56 pages of important matter that has been prepared from a series of studies upon the spirit of prophecy in the remnant church, and the relation it sustains to the law of God, and his people and work in all ages.

It has been the aim of the writer to treat the subject from a standpoint somewhat different from that in which it has heretofore been treated, and to enter a field not yet covered by any other writer, so that this treatise will be a benefit and aid to other writers upon this subject, rather than a rival to them. Its mission is more fully to establish believers upon the law of God and the testimonies of his Spirit.

All who have examined the pamphlet are highly pleased with it, and give it their hearty recommendation. We commend it to all the REVIEW readers, and every member who desires to know more of the place of the spirit of prophecy in connection with the giving of the third angel’s message. Price, 5 cents, post-paid.

The Seer of Patmos

This thrilling book contains a story on the prophecies of Revelation, written in simple narrative form, and contains a new setting of the important messages recorded in John’s prophecy in the book of Revelation. It will be found to be interesting, instructive, and essential to all Bible students. It is illustrated with original engravings especially prepared for the book. Being written in story form, it is especially attractive to the young; no better book could be placed in the hands of a young man or young woman than the story of “The Seer of Patmos.” Price, $1, post-paid.

Orders for any publication mentioned on this page may be sent to any conference tract society, or to Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C., or Battle Creek, Mich.
