Steps to Christ in the Thin Edition

THERE is not a person who, having read “Steps to Christ,” will not vouch for the good things it contains. There is doubtless not one person who has not seen the new thin edition of this book who would believe that it could be gotten up in such convenient style. It is bound in red Russia leather,—like the leather-bound Testimonies,—is but one quarter of an inch thick, and weighs but three ounces.

You can not appreciate this volume until you see the book; and once you see it in this style, so convenient and attractive, strange though our statement may seem, you will want to read it again.

Ministers and workers will want this edition, of which, by the way, there was but a limited number printed.

Price, postpaid, 60 cents.

The Home Over There

Is a theme in which all are interested,—the home over there, of which poets have written and bards have sung,—an eternal home, where sickness and sorrow are no more, where partings cease, and where there will be no stain of the curse of sin.

This soul-inspiring subject, the Christian's hope, has been the foundation of that interesting little volume by Elder S. H. Lane, entitled “Our Paradise Home.” Along with this subject, other kindred topics on present truth are given careful consideration. It is a volume to interest the unbeliever, to turn him from his way, and point him to the reward to be given to those who are faithful.

The 75-cent binding makes a charming gift to any friend.

Bound also in board covers, 25 cents; in cloth, 50 cents.

Early Writings, or Experiences and Views and Spiritual Gifts

THE book “Early Writings” is a source of encouragement and strength to every believer in the third angel's message. At the beginning of this work, in 1844, the children of God were placed in peculiar positions, as foretold in the Scriptures. In their time of bitter trial the Lord did not forsake them, but was pleased to give them special instruction and direction through his Holy Spirit. Scenes were presented to them of those who stand faithful to the end, of the trials and victories they will meet, etc. These instructions, written so few years ago, are intensely applicable at this time. As we are carried further from the early days of 1844, we draw nearer the close of this world's history. Many fail to consider this fact: the further from the beginning, the nearer is the end.

When the enemy is working with every sign and lying wonder, the Lord sends his people words of good cheer. We believe this is especially the case with “Early Writings.” Such subjects as the Shaking Time, the Sins of Babylon, the Loud Cry, the Third Message Closed, the Time of Trouble, Inheritance of the Saints, the Saint's Reward, etc., will appeal to every soul, faithful or discouraged. In the latter class, this little book will instill new hope; in the former, it will increase faith and praise to God.

Every Seventh-day Adventist family should have a copy of this book, and those who have it should read and study it. It will give new life and faith in God's Word.

Bound in cloth, postpaid, 75 cents.

Gives the Message, and Sells Rapidly

THE new, illustrated edition of “Story of Daniel the Prophet,” by Elder Haskell, is meeting with a rapid sale. The book is written in simple, story form, sells at a popular price, and takes well with the people. Some who are handling it say that it is the best-selling book now on the market. It is a unique and distinct contribution to the literature of the prophecy of Daniel, and presents just the truth that is most needed at the present time, and that so plainly that all are enabled to understand it.

The scriptures narrating the story are printed in the margin, together with 4,048 other Bible references, making it an exceedingly valuable book for Bible students. There are also given over two thousand questions, covering the contents of each chapter. These bring out many important facts which otherwise might be overlooked.

Our workers will find this a good book for which to take orders for their fall and Christmas deliveries. Being a subscription book, it is subject to regular canvassers' discount. It can be obtained through the regular channels.

“The Story of Daniel” contains 369 pages, and is artistically bound. Price, postpaid, $1.

Just as We Claim

WE recently received a request from a lady, asking us to send her a Bible with large print for a certain amount of money which we had to her credit.

She did not specify any particular Bible—except that it should have large print. Most people are anxious to have large print, but when they see the size of a regular large-print Bible, then they do not want it so large.

As an experiment, we sent the good lady one of our “Quart in a Pint” Bibles, and have just received word from her, saying:—

“AUGUST 10.—Received Bible, August 1. I am well pleased with it. Just what I wished.”

The “experiment” only proved more conclusively what we have decided in our own minds,—that our “Quart in a Pint” Bibles, which have large type in a comparatively small book, give the best satisfaction in these particulars of any Bible published. They sell as follows, according to the style of binding:—

Without Concordance, $3.25, $3.75, $5.00, $6.50, $7.50.

With Concordance, $4.00, $5.50, $7.00. When you want a good Bible, get a “Quart in a Pint.” It will cost you no more, but will please you much better.

The Rights of the People

EVERY person is more or less interested in the history of his own country. The book “Rights of the People,” by Elder A. T. Jones, may properly be termed a history of the United States, dealing particularly with subjects pertaining to the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence.

Part I is what might be known as a treatise on How to Form a Government, profiting by the experiences of the Roman empire; in connection with government, What Is Due to God and What to the State? What is the Relation of the Individual to the Powers that Be? etc.

Part II treats fully of the Rights of the People, How the United States Became a Nation; What Is the Nation? Who Made the Nation? Religious Right in the United States; Religious Right Invaded; Will the People Maintain their Rights? etc.

In the Appendix are given in full the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Dred Scott Decision, the “Christian Nation” Decision.

The Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence are two of the world's greatest documents. They alone, with the great amount of matter pertaining thereto contained in this volume, are of great value. The other valuable information contained in this work with reference to questions arising as to the prerogatives of church and government will be of inestimable value to every person who gives this subject consideration.

“The Rights of the People” is a history and authority on questions pertaining to civil governments, and the extent of their power in the matter of principles—civil and religious.

Bound in cloth, postpaid, $1.

A Trip to Africa

NOT many persons have occasion to make a trip to Africa; and the world at large knows but little of what the few who do make this long journey see and encounter on the way.

A journey which starts in the United States, touching the two largest cities of the world, and including two long sea voyages before reaching destination, and then to continue far into the interior of Africa, and that during the time when a great war was raging,—we say, the events of a journey such as that would be interesting. It must also be interesting to know of the strange peoples, their peculiar customs, and the many things found there which we do not see in our own country.

All these are described in the book “How a Little Girl Went to Africa.” The book is written in childish simplicity, and will interest old and young. The pictures are photographs from life, and while they are interesting, they reveal the true condition of man and nature in this far-off continent.

Bound in nicely ornamented cloth cover, postpaid, $1.
