What It Will Do

This number of Life and Health will be a good seller, and it will meet a manifest demand in every community.

It will help to establish our claim of being a temperance people and supporters of every legitimate reform.

It will break down prejudice among the best classes of people, and bring the workers and the denomination many strong friends.

It will convince thousands of their personal responsibility in suppressing the liquor traffic.

It will reveal to the general public the many now unsuspected avenues through which the liquor habit is acquired.

It will strike a strong blow at all the evils of the various intemperate practices.

It will expose the inconsistency of the government’s licensing the liquor traffic, and then enforcing “moral suasion” in the public schools against the use of intoxicants.

It will demonstrate the baleful influence of liquor upon the morals of men and women.

It will impress the importance of home temperance.

It will help the public in discovering the causes of alcoholism.

It will bring to the worker a living wage for his services.

Prices

The retail price of this special Temperance number will be 10 cents a copy. Agents may secure copies to sell at the following rates: 2 to 10 copies, one address, one order, 5 cents a copy; 10 to 24 copies, 4 cents; 25 or more copies, 3 cents,—all post-paid.

The Church-School Readers Nos. 1, 2, and 3

That the new church-school readers—“True Education Readers”—are appreciated, is evident from the fact that almost 4,000 copies of Nos. 1, 2, and 3 have been ordered.

To those who have examined these readers this is no surprise, because of the following facts:—

The first three of these readers puts the child in possession of the complete key to the English language; they also include all the work in language, Bible, spelling, nature study, and physiology that need to be taught up to and including the third grade or school year; they are attractively and appropriately illustrated; they are admirably adapted to home study; they familiarize the child with the most important Bible truths.

The Uncompleted Numbers

The remaining numbers of this series, 4, 5, 6, and 7, are not yet ready, and it is possible they will not be this year. This completed series provides a book for each of the first seven grades or school years.

Representative Opinions

All our leading educators have voluntarily sent to the publishers commendatory testimonials for these books. They class them as “most thoroughly pedagogical and valuable in truth-teaching;” “perfectly adapted to our school work;” “in matter and arrangement the best published;” “convenient in size, printed on good paper, well bound, large type, all of the essential features in the make-up of school-books.”

Free Sample Pages

If any wish to examine the plan of the readers more closely, free sample pages of the books may be secured of the Pacific Press Publishing Co., Mountain View, Cal.

The books are profusely illustrated and attractively bound. No. 1 contains 204 pages; price, 75 cents, post-paid; No. 2 contains 256 pages, at 75 cents; and No. 3 contains 304 pages, at 90 cents.

Report of Sabbath-School and Young People’s Convention

Printed in Pamphlet Form. Price, 10 cents

There was held in Mount Vernon, Ohio, July 10-20, a convention called to consider interests pertaining to the Sabbath-school and young people’s work. This meeting was attended by over two hundred delegates from all parts of the United States, who came to spend the entire time upon the definite work of these two departments. The meeting has been considered by all who attended one of the best that has been held for many years, and is the first general meeting ever called to consider these lines of work. The results of the convention will surely be to give a new impetus to the work, for the note that rang throughout all the meetings, and was echoed in all the papers and discussions, was the finishing of this work.

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

The papers presented were well prepared, and the discussions quite fully reported; and these, with the recommendations adopted, will make a complete report of all that occurred at the convention. The pamphlet containing this report ought really to sell for twenty-five cents; but in order that our people may have the benefit of the proceedings, a very low price of ten cents has been made. Thousands of copies should be sold. 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 full index has been added, for convenience in readily finding any subject. Those who secure this report will doubtless be better pleased with it than with any report ever secured at the price named. It will be much appreciated, and those who desire it should order early while it can be supplied. Orders may be sent to any State tract society or publishing house.

Spirit of Prophecy

A new and important pamphlet by G. A. Irwin on the subject of the spirit of prophecy, its relation to the law of God, and its place in the plan of salvation.

This little pamphlet of 56 pages is the outgrowth of 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 fully covered by any other writer, so that this treatise will be a companion and aid to the other writers upon this subject, rather than a rival of them. Its mission is more fully to establish believers upon the law of God and the Testimonies of his Spirit.

Those who have read the manuscript of this pamphlet are highly pleased with it, and give it their hearty recommendation, the two following testimonials being fair samples:—

“Having given a careful reading to the manuscript prepared by Elder G. A. Irwin, entitled ‘The Spirit of Prophecy; Its Relation to the Law of God, and Its Place in the Plan of Salvation,’ I would state that I think it most excellent, and believe its publication and circulation will be productive of much good. “J. N. Loughborough.”

“Your manuscript on ‘The Spirit of Prophecy’ has been read by me with interest and profit. I know of nothing more timely than the publication of such a booklet. It is meat in due season. I trust it may have a wide circulation, and be the means of much good. “Dr. D. H. Kress.”

Price, 5 cents, post-paid.
